'Why don't you believe God exists?' is asked of professing Atheists all the time. One of the answers I hear most: no one has given me a good enough reason/enough evidence to believe in God. This answer seems vacant to me, and should be to the Atheist who offers it, especially a philosophically … [Read more...]

Emily Letts is the worst kind of pro-choicer
May 8, 2014 by 13 Comments
For those who don't know who Emily Letts is, she is the young woman who set out to document her "positive" abortion story. She filmed herself before, during -- yes, during -- and after her abortion to show us all how great the whole experience can be. So why do I say Emily is the worst kind … [Read more...]
SCOTUS rules that offended Atheists need to relax
May 6, 2014 by 15 Comments
It never ceases to amaze me when an activist group of Atheists complain that public prayers by public officials hurts their feelings and makes them feel excluded. It really is silliness. It has never been unconstitutional to begin official government activities with prayer, especially Christian … [Read more...]
‘Jesus Wife’ papyri discovered to be a hoax…no kidding
May 5, 2014 by 6 Comments

What happens when people listen to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson
May 1, 2014 by 3 Comments
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgKiMRpufoM What I thought was most telling about this woman's tirade was how it didn't seem like she took into account at all how people come to own businesses. It appeared as though people just "come here" and get a business. She then complains that these … [Read more...]

April 28, 2014 by 17 Comments
Late last week a high school student was fatally stabbed when she rejected an invitation to the prom. So far, reports suggest the girl's killer was an ex-boyfriend. He took out his rage in the populated hallway of hos school early in the morning. I suppose I could make a snide remark … [Read more...]

Georgia's governor just signed into law a bill which broadens the areas in which legal gun owners may carry their firearms, including some schools, bars, and churches.

If the mind and brain are not identical, Naturalism is false
April 24, 2014 by 18 Comments
In order for Naturalism to be true, there can not exist any non-physical phenomena. The differentiation between the mind and brain demonstrates -- clearly, I think -- that Naturalism cannot be true. One example I believe is most compelling is that I am not physically identical to who I was even … [Read more...]

What about Good Friday?
April 18, 2014 by 21 Comments
Today is the day when Christians believe Jesus was crucified by the Romans at the behest of the Jewish authorities for blasphemy.

Liberal memes debunked: Drug testing for welfare
April 17, 2014 by 47 Comments
The meme misses that there was a much broader purpose to Jesus feeding the masses. But aside from the theological reasons behind his feeding them, Jesus wasn't providing social welfare. There had been gathered a large group of people to whom he was preaching. Nothing about the passage suggests … [Read more...]

Student trying to find “Islamophobia” instead treated nicer
April 15, 2014 by 7 Comments
Far too many people out there buy into the hype that white people simply don't like brown people. It's not difficult to see why. At every turn, opposition to some prominent minority is sloughed off as racism. It then comes as a shock to learn that it's simply not as pervasive as it's presented. … [Read more...]
