The issue of homosexual marriage is one of the more polarizing issues in our modern society, that almost goes without saying. Yet, it seems that whenever a state decides to take it upon themselves to define marriage as between “one man and one woman,” an overwhelming majority of people support such restrictions. To me, however, … Continue reading
Reblogged from The Christian Watershed: A long time ago in an ancient kingdom, the young peasant decided one day to go throw rocks at the king’s castle. As the young peasant was walking along the street with an angry look on his face, an old fellow with a big bushy mustache and a thick German … Continue reading
In my morning reading of the news, I’ve come across two major issues that simply show one giant problem in America. The first is the Supreme Court and the Affordable Healthcare Act. The second is the modern-day lynch mobs being formed to hunt down Zimmerman for the murder of Trayvon Martin. Both issues show one … Continue reading
One of the best op-eds I’ve read concerning the Trayvon Martin murder (and make no mistake, it’s a murder) comes from AP writer Jesse Washington, titled, “Trayvon Martin, My Son, and the Black Male Code.” Washington speaks about how every young black man must be on the look out when he’s by himself. When police … Continue reading
A few years ago The Daily Mail ran an op-ed concerning how the world is better off without autistic children and people with disabilities. The reasoning isn’t because such people lower the utility of a society or dilute the gene pool – both of which are horrendous arguments to begin with – but rather because … Continue reading
When was the last time you read an op-ed in a famous newspaper talking about the evils of Buddhism? How about a major paper covering the rampant persecution of Christians by Muslims and secularists? We are told about how religion is evil, yet when asked for examples the examples are solely Christian; the Crusades, the … Continue reading
One common theme that keeps emerging in the whole birth control/healthcare debate is the idea that those opposed to paying for birth control are somehow attempting to stamp out women’s reproductive rights. This, of course, makes little sense. Birth control, when non-abortive, deals solely with the person’s body, thus the person has complete rule over … Continue reading
Recently, two ‘ethicists’ (I use this term very liberally, as in they talk about ethics, not that they’ve come to any substantial conclusion) have published the idea that it’s okay to kill infants as they are not really persons. The standard they offer for being a person with a right to life is, “…individual who … Continue reading
The healthcare mandate concerning birth control is still in the news and it has a few American Christians jumping on the hyperbole train. Now, make no mistake, I’m absolutely against forcing those with religious convictions against birth control (especially abortifacients) having to pay for said birth control (whether it’s directly or through the insurance company). … Continue reading
The problem with modern Christian missions, in particular missions in the evangelical community, is that we’re developing missionaries who are far more concerned about saving the soul of a man than about saving the man himself, who stress the Hell to come while ignoring the Hell that is, who preach about a heavenly afterlife, but … Continue reading
