Earlier this week the Supreme Court unanimously -- yes, unanimously -- ruled that a Massachusetts law prohibiting discussions with, and handing out leaflets to people entering or exiting abortion clinics within 35 feet, even if public property encroaches closer than that, as unconstitutional. For … [Read more...]

Is gender assigned, or recognized?
June 27, 2014 by 2 Comments
First, you have to consider the source. But I've seen this kind of attitude toward gender from hyper-liberal feminists before. They abhor the thought that boys are boys and girls are girls. Somehow, this notion that we can tell if someone is a boy or girl simply by looking, is offensive. (Slate) … [Read more...]
Government imposes political correctness on private business
June 19, 2014 by 8 Comments
For those of you who follow the news, the federal government has sufficiently pressured the US Patent Office to revoke the trademark for the NFL team, the Washington Redskins. First and foremost I find it suspicious that these kinds of frivolous movements only take root in years when a certain … [Read more...]
Men, it’s your fault mothers abort…mostly
June 16, 2014 by 3 Comments
Mothers abort their children for many reasons. In my opinion, none are good enough except to save her life. Admittedly, the way I characterize the reasons given for abortion, it sounds harsh, cold-hearted, and even callous: 'justifications' for elective abortion are selfish. But the true reason … [Read more...]

Due to some issues in my personal life, I will not be writing regular posts. I will still interact in comments regularly though. If I have time or a thought I'll get something published, but no on a regular basis. If anyone is interested in helping out and writing for Sifting Reality, let me … [Read more...]
God and coincidence
June 11, 2014 by 21 Comments
Do you believe in fate? Coincidence? Full divine providence? Or maybe a combination? In religious circles a good many people believe God is controlling our lives, in that there are no coincidences. I'm not delving into whether God can do this, or has the right. Rather what is the case. For me, I … [Read more...]
Before championing a living wage, you must address this
June 10, 2014 by 1 Comment
I hear a lot of demand for a living wage. Usually as campaign season is coming into swing. The discussion is always steered away from the most important questions. When discussing people "only" make minimum wage, we don't we ask why a minimum wage job is the only kind of job an able bodied adult is … [Read more...]
We can’t just move on, can we?
June 9, 2014 by Leave a Comment
What is it about moving on that it's nearly universal to us all? Whether it's leaving that job you hate, splitting from a bad relationship, or even abandoning a religious or a-religious set of convictions, people will so often stay put for too long. Some situations are obviously controlled by other … [Read more...]
Is the Bible really that difficult to understand?
June 5, 2014 by 23 Comments
That's the question I offer to skeptics who blame God for the number of professing Christian denominations. "God", they say, "is a terrible communicator if no one can agree on what it says. After all, God should have made it unconfusable". To this complaint I always request a citation for a … [Read more...]
Little green men still more likely than God?

What is it with atheist scientists and aliens? (Raw Story) -- Astrophysicist and Cosmos host Neil DeGrasse Tyson told MSNBC host Chris Hayes that while it’s audacious enough for human beings to say they’re capable of defining intelligence, he would still like to know if there’s other intelligent … [Read more...]
Taxpayer funded sex-changes
June 3, 2014 by 2 Comments
The Department of Health and Human Services has announced that denials of sex change operations will not be automatic. Now they'll be taken on a case by case basis. There's no way the social and medical acceptance of how to treat transgenderism is based on anything other than public pressure from … [Read more...]
Climate change alarmists slowly being exposed as the Harold Campings of science
June 2, 2014 by 1 Comment
To my recollection, none of the doomsday claims of climate activists have come to pass. Whether it comes from former vice president and multi-multi-multi millionaire (fortune made from climate activism) Al Gore, or top-in-their-field climate scientists who make predictions of dire circumstances due … [Read more...]
