I had been thinking about doing a post like this for a little while now. Here I've narrowed my top ten favorite posts from over the past three years. In no particular order: What Gives You The Right? Many defenders of abortion go further than claiming elective abortion is a right, they claim it is … [Read more...]
Naturalism and ethics
October 17, 2012 by 24 Comments
One recurring complain from Atheists is the problem of evil. Regardless of how this complaint is formulated, it is a persistent theme. It's certainly a valid complaint worthy of a response, but I think the Atheist has just as difficult a hurdle when trying to explain it through their worldview. … [Read more...]
God, killing, and abortion
October 16, 2012 by 44 Comments
It's my experience that many Atheists fault God for commanding the Israelites to kill peoples at His will. As I have heard it, they believe God is quite the monster when he demands no men, women, nor children be spared. Some Atheists have even described it as God commanding murder. My point here … [Read more...]
Oct. 11th: National Tell Everyone Who You Have Sex With Day!
October 11, 2012 by 14 Comments
Apparently today is a day observed by the gay community encouraging homosexuals who have kept their sexual proclivities private, to make those proclivities public. As a heterosexual I can completely empathize, I know how important it is that everyone knows I am sexually attracted to women. It is … [Read more...]
Good people don’t do bad things
October 8, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Ok, so as much as I hate to admit it, I watch reality shows with my wife. One of her favorites is Rehab with Dr. Drew. In past years, the series was a showcase of celebrities in need of rehab from drug and alcohol addictions. This year however, the show puts ordinary people with the same problems … [Read more...]
Wally is too many people
October 7, 2012 by 8 Comments
Wally encapsulates a lot of people...too many. We all know people like this, they have "strong" opinions on many things: Abortion, same-sex marriage, politics, and religion. The problem is that they seem to be impervious to any reasoning whatsoever. Wallys don't like to argue about their … [Read more...]
Why arguing about “gratuitous” evil may be fruitless
October 2, 2012 by 7 Comments
If there is one objection to the existence of God which I think I can sympathize with, it's the problem of evil. It is emotionally compelling since we have all experienced evil to one degree or another in our lives, and much of it may seem rather gratuitous. Briefly, I take gratuitous evil to mean … [Read more...]
Abortion provides no dignity to the pre-born
September 26, 2012 by 13 Comments
(Daily Mail) -- Nebraska’s new abortion law forced one woman to give birth to her terminally ill, premature baby who she then helplessly held dying in her arms. [...] With this heartbreaking information [that their baby would not survive] the couple decided to have an abortion to avoid the baby … [Read more...]
Whose Body Is It?
September 19, 2012 by 6 Comments
If I was to suppose as to the most popular defense of elective abortion, it would be some variation of bodily autonomy -- It's a woman's body to do with what she chooses. A British woman made news by being sentenced to eight years for self-inducing a late-term abortion in order to hide an … [Read more...]
Life is a coin-flip for some
September 5, 2012 by 3 Comments
I'm not quite sure how to approach this issue so I'll just be blunt. I don't see how blacks can so adamantly support Democrats given how pro-abortion the party is. If you are black in America, your being born is virtually a coin-flip, and Liberal politicians seem to consider it their duty to … [Read more...]
The Same Jesus
August 30, 2012 by Leave a Comment
The Jesus who said don't judge, and preached love and forgiveness, was the same Jesus who said that He was the only way to God; unless you believe that, you'll die in your sins; people need to stop sinning; Christians need to tell you about Him; and marriage is between a man and a woman. Just … [Read more...]
When Conscience And Society Butt Heads
August 28, 2012 by 25 Comments
Morality seems to be quite a contentious subject among those who debate it. People seem to not like it very much when someone with differing views on what is moral and what isn't is perceived to be trying to force it on you or society as a whole. Whether a person or a group's vision of a moral … [Read more...]
Manufacturing Offense
August 22, 2012 by 43 Comments
If one thing about society as a whole perturbs me more than any other, it is the constant threat of offence. For someone who cares whether they unintentionally offend someone, they must maneuver through euphemisms every time they voice their opinion on a controversial topic. As for myself, I don't … [Read more...]
All’s fair in love and politics?
August 10, 2012 by 4 Comments
With Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid making unsubstantiated claims that Republican nominee Mitt Romney hasn't paid taxes in ten years, it leaves a bad taste in people's mouths on politics. Of course he has so far refused to name his source or at the very least explain how this person would have … [Read more...]
The Consequence Of Being A Christian
August 6, 2012 by 58 Comments
If you support traditional marriage, how often have you heard, "how will allowing same-sex marriage affect you?" And if you support same-sex marriage, how often have you said this? The thing is that the act of men marrying men or women marrying women doesn't have much of an effect. It's the … [Read more...]
This is why I detest same-sex marriage activists
August 2, 2012 by 13 Comments
Below is a video taken via cell phone. This man waits in line for some time for his free water just to harass whomever it is that has the unfortunate pleasure of being at the drive-thru window of Chick-Fil-A. You can see the woman is exceedingly pleasant (I have never been greeted so warmly) … [Read more...]
Bigotry and Chick-Fil-A
August 2, 2012 by 8 Comments
It never ceases to amaze me the frequency with which those who claim to be victims of religious oppression react by calling the kettle black. The latest example is the Chick-Fil-A non-shocker. The president of restaurant was asked his stance on the marriage issue. Of course the media and … [Read more...]
Does Jesus Love LGBT People?
August 1, 2012 by 7 Comments
I am always on the lookout for new topics to write about. And some of the most fertile places are venues which espouse views different from my own. One of the best places for conservative Christians to scout for new ideas is the Huffington Post religion section. The Huffington Post is always in … [Read more...]
How Should God Be?
July 30, 2012 by 27 Comments
Skeptics often cite some circumstance in the world to argue that God doesn't, or likely doesn't exist. Some of the circumstances cited are particularly puzzling to me. Here's an example of what I mean: (RamblingImagination.wordpress.com) -- If God were real, why aren’t his blessings spread evenly … [Read more...]
Which philosophy do you use?
July 23, 2012 by 5 Comments
I had previously posed this question in a poll: Which philosophy is better: Your religious views should inform your political views; your political views should inform your religious views; or, both should be compartmentalized and neither should inform the other? I would like to know where my … [Read more...]
