Abortion. Never in the history of the nation has such an egregious violation of human rights been codified by law. Not even slavery or Indian removal policies compare to the 50 million unborn children snuffed out of existence by activist judges and their abortionist pimps. It's not all driven by … [Read more...]
As a Christian defender of the faith I often hear -- and I do mean often -- 'well, you don't believe in all these other gods x y z, well, you can't prove they don't exist so don't as us Atheists to prove your God doesn't exist'. OK, fine. I'd like some of my skeptic followers and commenters to to … [Read more...]
Please someone copy and paste the text of the bill that some are labeling "Jim Crow laws for gays". I'm not seeing it. Words struck out is wording being removed from the original bill, and the all capitalized words is newly inserted language. 1 Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of … [Read more...]
In a previous post, I attempted to highlight the tendency for self-identified Atheists to muddy language in a way that doesn't truly represent what it is they actually believe about God, i.e., that God does not exist. I am no stranger to the insistence of Atheists to use what they consider a proper … [Read more...]
I saw something on television last night that truly exemplifies everything wrong with our modern culture. It was disgusting, somewhat hilarious, but mostly sad. People desperately building robots with which to have sex... Yes. That's right. People are designing robots that look human, sound … [Read more...]
Planned Parenthood is back in the news again. Okay, not the “mainstream” news, I admit. But what else is new? The “mainstream media” isn't about to pillory a statement of unfettered liberalism, so we rely on other sources – LifeSiteNews, LiveAction, LifeNews – to learn of Planned Parenthood's … [Read more...]
The most recent in a long line of hate crime/anti-gay hoaxes was uncovered recently. Granted it was done by a couple DJs attempting to "create a discussion". But there is a trend afoot where certain members of particular minority groups are staging incidents of anti-gay hate perpetrated by, of … [Read more...]
Every once in a while I hit a wall. Now is one of those times. I'm finding little inspiration for topics. You'd think with all that's in the news, there'd be plenty for me opine on. But alas, I'm dry. I'm looking for ideas for topics, or particular issues about which to write. So help a guy … [Read more...]
Having been writing this blog for so long, and coming into contact with so many people who question and challenge my beliefs, I sometimes do an "audit" so to speak, to gauge the strength of my conviction that Christianity is true. Whether such an exercise has any substantial benefit, I'm not sure. … [Read more...]
Liberals are bizarre creatures. While claiming to represent the oppressed, they fervently support abortion; while claiming to be inclusive and tolerant, they're notoriously intolerant of views different from their own [1] ; and while claiming to be sophisticated intellectuals with a monopoly on … [Read more...]
Young Earth Creationists take much flak for their interpretation of Genesis, which places the Earth at around 6,000-years-old. John and I firmly believe the best interpretation supports the opposite view, an Old Earth view, clearly displayed in the comment section of Do you hold a literal view of … [Read more...]
The debate over morality between Atheists and Theists is forever ongoing. I think Atheists mistakenly believe Theists claim they can't act in a moral manner, but this isn't the issue. Most Atheists, in my experience, are relatively honest, caring people with genuine concern for their fellow man. … [Read more...]
First watch and see what you see -- or don't see -- during the ceremony what was missing. (Ceremony starts at 4:30) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cVBGPpbZeI ______________________________________________ What is the apex of any wedding ceremony? When Queen Latifah announced to the betrothed that … [Read more...]
Infant Baptism is an issue of contention among Christians. Some believe baptism is “the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,” a necessary step to entering God's Kingdom. It washes away “original sin” so one may be “born again” free of sin. Both Lutherans & Catholics believe in … [Read more...]
In order to avoid the reality of substance dualism some Atheists make the claim that the mind merely describes the functions of the brain, that there is no fundamental difference between the two. I've been told the mind can be equated to chemical reactions that are governed by very physicalistic … [Read more...]
Some Skeptics reject God's standard of right and wrong. They say what God declares to be morally permissible in some cases is repugnant; and in other cases what God says is immoral is itself wrong to declare as such. It is therefore wrong, they say, to judge people on such a flawed system of … [Read more...]
Ok, I literally hate when people ask the question, "do you believe in a literal interpretation of Genesis?" I think there is an ingrained tendency to narrow one's focus too much, to the point where you develop tunnel vision and either refuse, or fail to accept that there is more than one way take a … [Read more...]
Editor's Note: This is a continuation in a series of posts between Adam Robles and John Barron on the doctrines of Reformed Theology. This is not debate per se, and we are not following a particular format. Because of this, as new posts are published they may seem incomplete. You should read the … [Read more...]
Skeptics often cite some circumstance in the world to argue that God doesn’t, or likely doesn’t exist. Excessive poverty, hunger, and other evils are among the top complaints. They seem to think that God should provide solutions with no explanation of where this ideal comes from, it certainly … [Read more...]
Christianity (and religious belief generally) is sometimes criticized for being nothing more than an emotional crutch of some sort by its critics. Its adherents find solace in knowing an eternal reward is awaiting them for their faithful devotion and evil doers are punished. There is something … [Read more...]
