My post citing the Washington Examiner's 58 gruesome details of the Kermit Gosnell trial was also posted by someone at Cafemom.com. I must say that I found some of the comments particularly startling. I suppose it shouldn't have surprised me, how fiercely some of the (presumably) moms defended … [Read more...]

Fetal homicide
April 5, 2013 by 1 Comment
Currently a multitude of states have laws concerning fetal homicide. Essentially, if a person I nationally causes the death of a fetus they can be charged with murder or manslaughter just as if it had been a post-birth human being. The only exceptions seem to be if the mother commissions the death … [Read more...]
Priorities awry
April 4, 2013 by 5 Comments
Al Gore has made hundreds of millions of dollars on his global warming nonsense. Let that sink in. Hundreds of millions. And that was before he sold his unwatched television network to a Al-Jazeera, an Arab network funded by oil money netting him $300 million on top of the more than $100 million … [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. This in and of itself is true, but it needs clarification which they are neither willing to provide, … [Read more...]
Jesus and love
April 1, 2013 by 17 Comments
Someone read me the thoughts of someone with whom they are friends with via social media on the same-sex marriage issue now in the news again. Essentially this person said Jesus would be fine with same-sex marriage because Jesus was about love and would want us to love and be happy. OK, that's a … [Read more...]
The unasked question in the same sex marriage debate
March 26, 2013 by 14 Comments
But this time 11 year-old Grace Evans asked it. (CNSNews) -- ...Grace Evans, 11, said before the Minnesota House Committee on Civil Law last week. “I know some disagree, but I want to ask you this question: Which parent do I not need – my mom or my dad?” [...] “Even though I’m only 11 years … [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...]
The American moral trajectory
March 20, 2013 by 5 Comments
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. Moral short … [Read more...]
Reader Poll: Should the Government be involved in marriage?
March 19, 2013 by 18 Comments
The debate over whether or not to legalize same sex marriage has some people asking if the government should be involved in marriage at all. So I pose the question to my readers. After answering the poll, it would be helpful to explain why government should or should not be involved in marriage. … [Read more...]
Atheism is dangerous for children
March 12, 2013 by 63 Comments
I don't expect professing Atheists to agree. However there is, to a degree, a sense of abuse -- in the ultimate sense -- in teaching children that God doesn't exist. Mind you, I don't consider it abuse because (which) God's existence is obvious, though I believe it is. It's because … [Read more...]
How much should you go along to get along, or should you at all?
March 11, 2013 by 16 Comments
There seems to be a common criticism from what seems to be everyone about everyone else with whom they disagree. 'They are too much this, or are too inflexible about that'. Christians are too archaic regarding women in leadership roles within the church and too close-minded about homosexual sexual … [Read more...]

Forcing your view: Everyone does it
March 8, 2013 by 35 Comments
It's understandable that most people don't want someone else's vision of morality or personal political views forced upon them. If you are vocal on what you believe to be moral or political issues, there's no doubt that you've heard someone tell you that you shouldn't try to force your vision on … [Read more...]
Sexual immorality?
March 5, 2013 by 25 Comments
If I had to place my finger on the most contentious issue the secular world takes with Christian ethics is its stance on sexuality. Without a doubt, the Old and New Testaments condemn certain sexual relations in the strongest terms available. Be it adultery, sex out of wedlock, beastiality, or … [Read more...]
University shocked when Muslim espouses Islam’s view of homosexuals
February 26, 2013 by 10 Comments
For all that is accused of Christians and Christianity about their view on homosexuality, the political left and academia almost universally ignore what the religion of peace has to say about it. In nations run by Muslims with heavy Islamic foundations for their rule of law, homosexuality is … [Read more...]
If Liberals had their way…
February 9, 2013 by 20 Comments
And before anyone wants to challenge the thought that Liberals don't try to condition girls while they're young to become morally numb to abortion, they persistently fight parental notification laws requiring a child's parents know that their daughter is, 1) sexually active and, 2) their daughter is … [Read more...]
