When confronted with a choice, abortion Doc chooses life

Abortion "doctor" Kermit Gosnell was recently found guilty by a jury of his moral superiors earlier this week on three counts of murder. It is highly unfortunate that hundreds of his victims are unknown and will not see justice for their own deaths, but this is still shows that some pro-abortion … [Read more...]

Fairness and Equality

Many people won't make a tangible distinction between equality and fairness. I think this is because of a flawed idea of what fairness entails. For instance, I don't think fairness is the same as being treated equally. Equality ensures everyone has the same opportunities. Fairness entails getting … [Read more...]

Are we free?

For the religious adherent, whether we are agents created by the Almighty to freely act according to our desires, or we are under His divine direction will depend on your theology.  A case could be made either way I suppose.  I think the Atheist has a more difficult time reconciling the … [Read more...]

Kermit Gosnell and the reality of abortion

As far as what Kermit Gosnell did and what abortion clinics such as Planned Parenthood do, there is little difference. In fact, the only actual difference is the size of the body parts. Does that really make "routine" elective abortion morally acceptable and what Gosnell did morbid? … [Read more...]

Q: If God healed amputees would you believe? A: Probably not

This common objection among internet Atheists goes something like this: Does God just not care about amputees?  If God existed He would heal amputees, or even one amputee.  None are healed, therefore God most likely doesn't exist.  If only God would heal an amputee (in a scientific lab, on video, in … [Read more...]

Thought experiment: Am I being discriminated against?

Same-sex marriage advocates routinely frame the debate in terms of rights deprivation.  It is argued that by disallowing same-sex marriage that you are somehow discriminating against homosexuals.  I reject this notion because it misunderstands what equal treatment actually means.  So let me present … [Read more...]

God doesn’t exist because of tides… or something

The intellectual high ground: The other day someone asked me seriously what I believe in. I've always been very critical of all religions and never taken them serious even when I was a kid forced to go to church. So I'm opening this up for all of you. Here's what I believe: All religion is … [Read more...]

58% of the public unfamiliar with the differences between Islam and other religions

I'm uncertain if the public has been so saturated with the politically correct version of Islam, or if they are simply unfamiliar with the "Religion of Peace's" calls to violence that other religions lack. Now, it's not that all Muslims are terrorists mind you; just that virtually all terrorists … [Read more...]

God’s plans

I recall back to a bible study I attended a few years back where the topic of providence, or God's active planning and action in our lives arose.  I don't discount the idea that God does have plans and does act on them, but I'm always hesitant to assign any particular event to divine intervention. … [Read more...]

Gay Rights: A logical appeal — A response

In a previous post Atticus, a guest poster to this site, argued in favor of same-sex marriage as it relates to property rights.  This is my response. Atticus begins: Marriage is defined as between a man and a woman. That’s what the law tells us. So what about two individuals of the same sex? Why … [Read more...]

The Thaw

The marginalization of Christianity and Christians in public schools has been gaining acceptance over the years.  The blame can be laid squarely at the feet of Christians who somehow got the idea that they shouldn't involve themselves in the public or political arena.  Now they are fighting an … [Read more...]

https://twitter.com/fakedansavage/statuses/330706425175224321 The truth is, Dan Savage and those who stand by him know they're hypocrites, they just believe it's justified.  It's justified because the targets of the Political Left are legitimate targets in their eyes.  Here we have Savage … [Read more...]

A recent court decision has made it possible for girls as young as 15 years-old to obtain the "morning after" pill without a prescription.  Here are a few thoughts I have on this controversial ruling. 15 year-old teens are unable to drive, vote, enter into contracts, own real property, drink … [Read more...]
