One of the saddest things about the Obama administration is his appointment of people with ideologies that are far off in left field. Some of the ideologies are so absurd that you’d expect them to be in some futuristic novel that satires our current culture. For instance, Brave New World had the “orgy porgy” that, … Continue reading
Paasurrey was kind enough to respond to my last post at his own website. In his reply, he states: Hi fried Joel Please quote from Jesus; not from what the sinful and unfaithful scribes, who deserted Jesus when he most needed them.Later they sided with Paul who was an enemy of Jesus and his friends. … Continue reading
Paarsurrey was kind enough to reply to what I wrote. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, his comments aren’t showing up on my site. I have no idea as to why, but since they aren’t showing up, I’ll provide his comments here: Hi friend Joel I ask you a little question; I think you don’t mind. Are … Continue reading
A while back, a Muslim (Paasurrey) posted a comment on my site addressing some of the problems He saw with the Christian belief concerning Jesus. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice the comment until yesterday. For whatever reason, it slipped through the cracks. To make up for this, I am posting my response here and posting a … Continue reading

So long as a person is able to feed his family, clothe his family, and provide adequate shelter for his family (even if it’s a temporary apartment), isn’t he living a good life? – The abortion issue isn’t about women and their rights. It is about if the fetus … Continue reading
After looking through the news this week, I came across this comment from a casual observer that the media decided to interview. “[Universal Health Care is] about human rights. It’s about morality. And denying people health care ranks right up there with genocide.” This is one of those quotes that you read and start laughing, … Continue reading
I’m currently reading The Foundations of Christian Bioethics by H. Tristram Engelhardt (Eastern Orthodox), and he made an observation about mainline denominations concerning their stances on bioethics. It links in to what I posted earlier. He points out: “The mainline Protestant religions, along with many Roman Catholics, have drunk deeply of the passion of aggiornamento … Continue reading
Tony Jones, former figurehead of the Uppity-Middle-White-Class-Spoiled-Rotten-Brat Association Emergent Village has a recent post about the Episcopal church declaring that all members can be ordained pastors regardless of sexual orientation.
