I constantly have this argument with my wife. She is of the opinion that the closer to the event that the gift is bought, the less you care. For example, suppose her birthday is on the 15th of the month. To her, if I purchase her gift on the 5th it means more than if I bought it on the 14th -- even … [Read more...]
I know many spiritual people, most of you do. You know the ones, "spiritual...but not really religious". Most of the ones I know were borne out of a feelings-oriented Christian church, the kind where how you feel is more valuable that if what you feel is true. I actually have the most difficult … [Read more...]

At least that's what this graphic floating around the internet suggests. If I was the doctor I'd have asked why the little boy wanted a pink cast, and I wouldn't have turned red or felt bad about asking. I'm not fully convinced this is based on a true story in the first place. But even if … [Read more...]

Where ever you find yourself on the abortion debate, I would think that requiring parental notification for elective abortion should be a bipartisan stance. Opponents of the requirement often cite assaults or even murders of teen girls who confessed to their parents that they are pregnant, which is … [Read more...]
After being at this for a while, nothing surprises me anymore. It's almost to the point where I don't even expect critics of the Christian message to do their due diligence and investigate whether what they read on Atheist's blogs is even accurate. Here's the next example. Horus Born of a … [Read more...]

Most arguments defending a mother's right to an an elective abortion rarely center around what it is that's being aborted. It's not frivolous as to why either. If the discussion takes a turn toward science or biology, they would be forced to admit abortion takes the life of an innocent human … [Read more...]
But so is Roe v Wade and DOMA. And so was Dred Scott. And separate but equal and every other Jim Crow law for that matter. Laws are enacted and repealed -- well not so much repealed anymore. But simply being the law of the land doesn't entitle it from alteration or repeal. I expect my … [Read more...]
The parent - teacher conference for my youngest daughter (1st grade) was last night.
