It's the 'probably' that's a problem. Now, I'm not making any arguments here, but probably shouldn't offer the level of comfort many Atheists find in their belief that there's probably no God. I'm just thinking of all the other probablys: The ice is probably safe to walk on. The gun is … [Read more...]

Doesn't it strike you as at all strange that behaviors which lead to the displays at pride parades are considered normal and opposition to such behavior is considered hateful and abnormal? … [Read more...]
Skeptics have many reasons they offer for why they reject the authority of the Bible. The reasons range anywhere from recording supernatural events to being edited and re-written over the centuries to suit the needs of the Church. Among the most recurring objections are the many inconsistencies … [Read more...]
I've never understood how Blacks in America can so unwaveringly support the Democrat party writ large given how the party has supported policies which are proven to not be in their best interest. If you are Black in America especially in a large city, being born is literally a crap shoot. And … [Read more...]
https://twitter.com/RichardDawkins/status/371553942313779200 Isn't it cute how famed biologist Richard Dawkins tries so hard to offer theological commentary on the nature of God. He's the world's top thinker you know. What is he really trying to say here? Is he saying that God isn't or … [Read more...]
The UN IPCC is starting to see the light the crazy science-hating deniers have seen from the beginning, The only surprise here is that they're actually admitting it. (Telegraph) -- A cold Arctic summer has led to a record increase in the ice cap, leading experts to predict a period of global … [Read more...]
A new regulation on the body art industry in Washington D.C. would require a 24 hour waiting period before getting tattooed.

Every so often Pew Research releases a News IQ quiz to see how much you know about recent current events. It's fun to see what you know and what you think you know. I missed 1 of 13 (question 8). … [Read more...]
It doesn't really surprise me that there would arise a movement in the professing Christian community who would side with anti-God, anti-Christian, anti-Bible activists. How should we interpret a professing Christian organization who would align themselves with someone like LGBT activist Dan … [Read more...]
What does the divorce rate in America say about how people view marriage? Has the concept, nay, the institution of marriage lost its meaning? I don't ask this as a conceptual question either. What is marriage supposed to be? Most people go into it believing the first time is the only time, but … [Read more...]
I can see why some Christians might believe they are being persecuted in America, but I think it's a bit too soon to make that claim. Of course there is a big push from homosexual activists (not to be confused with the average homosexual person) and secularists to purge visual Christianity from the … [Read more...]
A Pew Research survey polled people asked people whether they believed Blacks are treated less fair than Whites. Apparently most people believe they are. I am prone to believe there are more isolated anecdotal incidents than wholesale unfairness. But even in many of the cases, I don't think it's … [Read more...]
For those on the political left, voter ID laws are a somewhat contentious subject. The vocal liberals insist they are an attempt to suppress the minority vote. For some reason it goes unnoticed that this implies minorities are either unable to figure out how to obtain a photo identification, or … [Read more...]
This says it all when it comes to pro-abortion logic: The political left is obsessed with rights. But what are rights? What rights do we actually have, and what makes them rights in the first place? Many people blur the lines between what they believe ought to be rights and real inalienable … [Read more...]
I think it's a legitimate question: Who is prevented from voting who wants to and is legally eligible to do so? Even voter ID laws are not as prohibitive as they're portrayed to be. The political left suggests minorities have a more difficult time obtaining proper identification. Why is that? Is … [Read more...]
Not long ago TV counselor Dr. Phil asked a question via Twitter which was quickly deleted: When I first saw it I didn't get the impression that he was implying it was OK to have sex with drunk girls (or that he was asking "for a friend"). I had figured he was trying to gauge public opinion for a … [Read more...]
Pols and activists will always look for a scapegoat on which to blame the actions of an individual. In this case an 8 year-old boy, for whatever reason, shot and killed his elderly caregiver. Who knows, perhaps this is a case where the boy was influenced by the game he was playing. However, this … [Read more...]
