Why is it difficult to believe the resurrection of Jesus was an historical fact? Is it because there's no scientific evidence? Is it because we have to rely on testimony, which may be inaccurate? Is it because sages today aren't resurrected? I can sympathize, to a point. I do think the … [Read more...]
Why do we fight evolution?
May 28, 2013 by 7 Comments
When discussing the origins of morality, most Atheists are willing to offer evolution as a viable option. However, I believe it is obvious that the evolutionary process could not have produced moral imparitives. A cursory reflection on our own interactions with others should make this obvious. We … [Read more...]
Why did Jesus have to be raised?
May 22, 2013 by 28 Comments
This is meant for skeptics and critics of Christianity; it's not a theological question. Thinking back on alternate explanations of the accounts of Jesus' life in the Gospel accounts, there seems to be somewhat of a consensus (among skeptics) that miracles were needed to gain credibility in order … [Read more...]
Q: If God healed amputees would you believe? A: Probably not
May 10, 2013 by 9 Comments
This common objection among internet Atheists goes something like this: Does God just not care about amputees? If God existed He would heal amputees, or even one amputee. None are healed, therefore God most likely doesn't exist. If only God would heal an amputee (in a scientific lab, on video, in … [Read more...]
God doesn’t exist because of tides… or something
May 9, 2013 by 6 Comments
The intellectual high ground: The other day someone asked me seriously what I believe in. I've always been very critical of all religions and never taken them serious even when I was a kid forced to go to church. So I'm opening this up for all of you. Here's what I believe: All religion is … [Read more...]
The Thaw
May 7, 2013 by 91 Comments
The marginalization of Christianity and Christians in public schools has been gaining acceptance over the years. The blame can be laid squarely at the feet of Christians who somehow got the idea that they shouldn't involve themselves in the public or political arena. Now they are fighting an … [Read more...]
Anti-bullying advocate bullies Sarah Palin

https://twitter.com/fakedansavage/statuses/330706425175224321 The truth is, Dan Savage and those who stand by him know they're hypocrites, they just believe it's justified. It's justified because the targets of the Political Left are legitimate targets in their eyes. Here we have Savage … [Read more...]
Thoughts on Plan-B

A recent court decision has made it possible for girls as young as 15 years-old to obtain the "morning after" pill without a prescription. Here are a few thoughts I have on this controversial ruling. 15 year-old teens are unable to drive, vote, enter into contracts, own real property, drink … [Read more...]
Anything but Islam
April 24, 2013 by 17 Comments
The Political Left is doing all it can to avoid what is obvious to everyone else. (Think Progress) -- Could the amateur boxing career of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the deceased suspect in last week’s Boston Marathon bombings, have had a role in the massacre? That’s a question leading brain researchers at … [Read more...]
Why do you support abortion?
April 24, 2013 by 12 Comments
Before jumping to your pat answer for why you defend the legality of abortion, take a moment to think. We know what abortion is, we know what it does. Why do you believe abortion is worthy of support? Is there something attractive about the nature of abortion? Something women should not be … [Read more...]
Purpose and evolution
April 19, 2013 by 12 Comments
Q: Why does the moon shine at night? A: To help people see better at night. If it's silliness to say the purpose of the moon is to help people see better at night, why isn't it also silliness for evolutionists to assign purpose to the biological structures of organisms? If it's true that … [Read more...]
Why I’m Pro-Life by TerranceH
April 18, 2013 by 9 Comments
My first occasion to hear the pro-life message, or common sense as I have come to call it, was at the age of sixteen, as I sobbed over the phone to a woman employed by Right to Life. I called in search of revenge, for my girlfriend aborted our child without my knowledge or consent. Young and naive, … [Read more...]
Open Thread — Silent on Gosnell
April 11, 2013 by 11 Comments
As it turns out, the media (which has no bias toward political liberalism) is as silent on the Kermit Gosnell murder trial as pro-choicers were on my post asking the question as to whether he has done anything immoral with his "post-natal" abortions. UPDATE This screen capture is not … [Read more...]
Beware the “consensus”
April 10, 2013 by 6 Comments
NOTE: This is an edited version of a previous post. The debate between science and religion and whether one disproves the other usually butts heads hardest in the area of evolution. The evidence is in, says science, man and apes descended from a common ancestor, or so the theory goes. After all, … [Read more...]

Should we limit consenting adults?
April 9, 2013 by 7 Comments
If I were a betting man and had to wager what the most offered reason to officially recognize same-sex marriage is that any consenting adults should have the liberty to enter a marriage contract. To me, consenting adults is a bit too all-encompassing, morally speaking. Consenting adults could … [Read more...]
Five reasons to believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead
April 6, 2013 by 8 Comments
Professor Gary Habermas had the following piece in the Washington Post (of all places). It's not often that a politically-left leaning media outlet allows content which shines positive light onto Christianity. (Washington Post) -- I will assume nothing special about the New Testament writings … [Read more...]
