Judge declares Atheists are unreasonable
April 3, 2013 by 26 Comments
Atheists are the thin-skinned tattle tales of the legal system. The mere sight of a cross or the word "God" out in the open sends them into hyperventilation and spasms. A little while back the American Atheists sued to remove the twisted metal from the World Trade Center which happened to form … [Read more...]

What is “Equality”?
April 2, 2013 by 1 Comment
Last week social media was thick with this and similar images. The icon, which is a recoloring of the HRC's ordinary blue field and yellow lines, was donned to show support for "marriage equality". I'm sure I've asked this before, but what is marriage equality? What needs to be the case in order … [Read more...]
REPOST: Does Jesus Love LGBT People?
April 1, 2013 by 11 Comments
I wrote this a while back and now that same sex marriage is being heavily reported on it's worth reiterating. You will hear many on the Religious Left making claims that Jesus loves homosexuals.

What kind of pro-choice person are you?
March 28, 2013 by 6 Comments
I have noticed that pro-abortion choice advocates claim they are not pro-abortion, they merely support the ability to choose whether or not to have an abortion. I don't buy it. Many of those who take the pro-choice position will argue that what they support is the choice, not abortion per-se. … [Read more...]

March 25, 2013 by 14 Comments
Gun control advocates insist that instituting universal background checks is neither a limit on the Second Amendment or an attempt to inhibit gun ownership. It is touted as "common sense gun safety measures". Yet these same pols insisted as recently as this past November that requiring a photo ID … [Read more...]
Are you a Real Pro-Life Christian?
March 25, 2013 by 46 Comments
Must one be pro-all life in order to be consistently pro-life? It is seen as an inconsistency by some that pro-life advocates are only concerned with fetuses and not with those facing the death penalty. But is this a true inconsistency? Briefly, I understand the pro-life position to be this: It … [Read more...]
Open Thread – Guns and abortion
March 21, 2013 by 70 Comments
The national discussion on gun control is predicated on the number of lives lost senselessly. The painfully ironic aspect of all this is the ones clamoring to outlaw guns to save lives are the same ones clamoring to ensure mothers can take lives unencumbered. … [Read more...]

March 21, 2013 by 9 Comments
For anyone who knows who Dr. Kermit Gosnell is, rest assured the title of this post is meant for hardcore pro-abortion choice defenders.

There isn't much substance I could add to this post from American Creed. Whenever anyone attempts to link the moral decay of America to the nation's resistance to God they are branded a fanatic of one stripe or another, mostly by those who are resisting God and His moral standard.

Over-reliance on incarceration by the US Government?
March 18, 2013 by 5 Comments
From the fine folks at the ACLU: The United States has become a global outlier in its over-reliance on incarceration.
