I don't recall where I found this picture. The measure of which religious persuasion cares most, apparently, is determined by how much money was given to the man with the sign. Advocates for ending homelessness generally caution against giving cash to the homeless but instead donate to … [Read more...]
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...]
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...]
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...]

Life's most asked -- and arguably most important question also seems to be the most difficult one to answer. There's a lot to consider: Is the answer different for everyone, or is there a single purpose for all of humanity? Is the answer discovered or determined? Can it be answered in the … [Read more...]
Some news reports are putting forth that the two brothers responsible for the Boston Marathon may have ties to a larger Muslim extremist organization. This isn't yet confirmed. Right now the younger brother is in police custody and is being questioned about last Monday's events. What should we do … [Read more...]
Most people are able to recognize that discriminating on the basis of race is immoral. Well, discriminating against non-whites is immoral apparently. This is what Affirmative Action currently does, mostly in the collegiate system. The thing is, most people are able to recognize that Affirmative … [Read more...]
I know not everyone who holds to one form of theism or another believes that all religions are simply different paths to the same God, or deity, or higher power et al, but some do. In my experience these people consider themselves to be highly spiritual. To these people I ask: How do you know this … [Read more...]
Here's a list of things that are racist, according to the Political Left. Enjoy. Questioning the president's jobs figures Preferring white meat over dark at Thanksgiving Calling the biggest retail sale day 'Black Friday' Criticizing the judgement of Susan Rice over her repeated … [Read more...]
NOTE: This is an edited version of a previous post. The debate between science and religion and whether one disproves the other usually butts heads hardest in the area of evolution. The evidence is in, says science, man and apes descended from a common ancestor, or so the theory goes. After all, … [Read more...]
Or, so says MSNBC host Melissa Harris. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3qtpdSQox0 We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children. So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and … [Read more...]
Recently the National Association of Letter Carriers union held a rally on the New Haven green in an effort to raise awareness to the detriment of reducing the number of delivery days from six to five. Attending the rally to show their support were U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D CT3) and U.S. Sen. … [Read more...]
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 has two thumbs and loves irony... this guy. (Bloomberg) -- Kuwait’s parliament approved a law imposing the death penalty on any Muslim who insults God, his prophets, messengers, Prophet Mohammad’s wives or the Koran, in any form of expression, if they don’t repent. The bill, which adds … [Read more...]
Don't like assault weapons? Don't buy one. This is offered as a legitimate retort to pro-lifers who seek to ban abortion... you know, the procedure which takes the life of an innocent child. So if "don't like abortion? Then don't have one" is a legitimate "argument" for trivializing the pro-life … [Read more...]
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...]
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. This in and of itself is true, but it needs clarification which they are neither willing to provide, … [Read more...]
