What’s the point of bloggers deleting dissenting comments?

The first time I was told by someone that they were glad to see I don't censor or moderate dissenting comments here I was shocked to hear it was common.  I was first told this by Atheists.  They said it was common for other Christian bloggers to delete or not allow their comments even if they … [Read more...]

Vanity license plate censorship: 1st amendment issue or state prerogative?

I've often thought of getting a vanity license plate. Unfortunately anything I've thought of won't fit on a plate in my state due to character limitations.  But some people have no problem coming up with something clever.  They send their idea into the state and it goes though a revue process to … [Read more...]

Abortion just kills sperm…right?

Well, that's what one professing liberal TV comedy writer says. Granted, he was likely being facetious. But it wouldn't surprise me if he was confused.  I have yet to meet an abortion defender who actually knows that according to science -- embryologists and biologists, not priests and ministers … [Read more...]

“Consensus” on man made global warming?

The American Meteorological Society (AMS) has released its preliminary report surveying its members views about global warming.  The survey did not find the consensus so often boasted by climate change alarmists.

Where the soul is

Have you ever wondered where in the human body our soul is located?  Not me.  Not until someone asked.  Maybe because it doesn't sound like the right kind of question, like asking how much the color blue weighs.  Someone asked "how does God attach the soul to the fetus, and when does He do … [Read more...]

If only those greedy CEOs didn’t make so much, the employees could make a better wage. Not really

Every so often someone will make some noise about how the greedy CEOs make too much and the workers don't make enough.  If people would only do the math themselves, they might not repeat this vacant charge. To begin with, the median CEO salary in the US is only $750,000.  Usually when people … [Read more...]

The Framers and their unconstitutional Constitution

Many of the same men responsible for, and who ratified, the Constitution,  specifically the first amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people … [Read more...]

Does God ‘love the sinner but hate the sin’?

God loves the sinner but hates the sin is a common expression in many Christian circles.  But is it true?  Where does this saying come from?  Though anyone is welcome to add their two cents in on this, it is primarily an in-house discussion.  It might be more fun for skeptics to watch us Christians … [Read more...]

Atheists and the dead man

I don't know how many people are familiar with the story of the man who thinks he's dead and cannot be convinced otherwise. Here's a short version of this:   A man is convinced he is dead. His wife and kids are exasperated. They keep telling him he's not dead. But he continues to insist he's … [Read more...]

Atheists flock to churches of Atheism because atheism is not a religion

Atheism is a belief, and it is a worldview, but I understand that it isn't a religion even if some Atheists hold to their atheism religiously.  Newly trending is the creation of churches of atheism -- pun intended. (FoxNews) --  It looked like a typical Sunday morning at any mega-church. Hundreds … [Read more...]

Lowercase ‘g’ exposes the emotional aversion to God

I have found that most vociferous and hostile Atheists will not use a capital 'G' when writing the word "God". I know, I know, it's not necessarily a name, per se.  However, when debating with Christians, it is for all intents and purposes, a name. I'm not convinced this is an attempt to be … [Read more...]

What would you change in government?

If one were to believe the polls, a large majority of Americans are profoundly dissatisfied with the way the government is being run, and consequently, the direction the country is headed. Congratulations...you've won the political lottery! You've been anointed Czar of America. You now have all … [Read more...]

Good intentions often lead to bad laws

When Connecticut first passed new restrictions limiting magazine capacity for guns, I was able to demonstrate in just over a minute why in at least one aspect it was hastily planned.  It just now occurred to me that it's even worse than I had first thought. Limiting magazine capacities to 10 rounds … [Read more...]

Double standards for the parents of unwanted children

Of all the defenses of elective abortion, the most abhorrent of all is that the child will be unwanted which subjects the child to possible abuse and neglect.  Shouldn't we expect parents to care for and not abuse or neglect their children whether they're wanted or not?  Why do we give a person who … [Read more...]

Mass shootings laying the ground work for anti-gun activists

The shooting at Los Angeles International Airport is only the most recent event that will inevitably trigger a demand for stricter gun laws.  The move to rush through intention-driven, emotionally reactive laws in response to these kinds of tragedies may prove to be even more dangerous, and possibly … [Read more...]
