Unfortunately for her, it's old news, the argument in support of abortion isn't new. It confuses stages of development with ontological identity. … [Read more...]
How to create more bullies: Anti bullying programs
October 11, 2013 by Leave a Comment
There's two reasons I'm not surprised to read a headline such as this. And both could have been easily predicted by anyone who knows how people operate.

The Political Left’s view of people in one winners and losers bracket
October 10, 2013 by 8 Comments
The Political Left views people in groups, not as individuals. This is why some people are more equal than others and why some people are more valuable than others (i.e., hate crime laws). In so doing it is then possible to create divides among the people. People lose their individual identities … [Read more...]
Reality is only skin deep?
October 9, 2013 by 10 Comments
How do you interpret the above graphic? This is not an innocuous 'treat others as you'd like to be treated' message. As I see it, there are some rather bold claims about the world. … [Read more...]
How important are people’s feelings?
October 8, 2013 by 302 Comments
What is it about morality and judging that causes people to hesitate in saying an act or behavior is wrong and immoral? When assessing moral actions, I find that many people will avoid making moral judgements on the actions of others. Why is it so hard to say "that is morally wrong"? It shouldn't … [Read more...]
Don’t judge others, you idiot
October 7, 2013 by 28 Comments
I think it's safe to say none of us want to be told we're doing something morally wrong. Who wants to be thought of as a bad person? Well, the more I encounter this admonition from someone who preaches 'don't judge' the more I am finding it comes from the same kind of person: One who is … [Read more...]
Trending Now: #DefineGOPin3words
October 6, 2013 by 8 Comments
This is the perfect follow-up to my previous post where I point out that the political left use hyperbolic language to paint their ideological counterparts as evil and unworthy of consideration.

How the Political Left views the Political Right, and why there will never be common ground
October 6, 2013 by 13 Comments
In the days of old, American politicians could disagree yet still compromise with one another and get the job done. Unfortunately, since the election of President George W. Bush I have seen a dramatic change in discourse from those from the political left. It's not simply that the two sides … [Read more...]
Does the Bible forbid Christians from “judging”?
September 27, 2013 by 35 Comments
The oft quoted and ever misinterpreted Matthew 7:1, the infamous "judge not" passage is arguably the most recognizable passage in the Bible save John 3:16. And right behind that is 'remove the log from your own eye before addressing the speck in someone else's'. I can understand why non-Christians … [Read more...]

The following clip is as sad as it is funny, _____________________________________________________ Let me help Ed Shultz's faith leader on this one.

Red heads and gays
September 19, 2013 by 78 Comments
Both homosexuality and having red hair occur in approximately 2% of the American population. There are people on both sides of the same sex marriage issue for whom they are not intimately effected.

World’s top thinker Richard Dawkins still not that good at theology
September 10, 2013 by 2 Comments
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.

NALT Christians (The Bible and Homosexuality)
September 6, 2013 by 74 Comments
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...]
The irony of abortion rights
August 29, 2013 by 12 Comments
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...]
Double standards for men and women: drunk sex and domestic violence
August 28, 2013 by 38 Comments
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...]

https://twitter.com/MadcapMcQ/status/370591710218182657 It's amazing the difference in portrayal with which the media will treat one individual over another. Will we ever see a day where the 'news' simply reports events without creating a narrative? … [Read more...]
Circumcision and abortion
August 22, 2013 by 14 Comments
I don't see circumcision to be immoral or barbaric. If I were to suppose why people might believe it to be barbaric, I'd say because it's a religious practice. You don't hear much about piercing infant's ears from that crowd, then again you might. But I never do. How disgusted could you be about … [Read more...]
