The Privilege Race and Telling People They’re Not Okay
EPISODE – Several people have asked us to comment on this video and we aim to please! Luke joins the Peaches and me on this episode! As usual, he doesn’t talk much because he speaks quality rather than quantity. (Different from me.) Collin has spent the day playing Star Wars and the Peaches thinks that’s […]
The Privilege Race and Telling People They’re Not Okay
That woman caught in adultery shows up again. And several people asked us to review a privilege foot-race video so we do that too. We’re very accommodating, Pkarlgh!
Thank God or Never Mind
A brief follow up to this article. This blog author stopped in to support her premise that gratitude doesn’t require religion. I appreciate her earnest, polite, and articulate arguments. I’m not accustomed to well-mannered atheist writers. It’s great having a conversation that doesn’t end with, “You shouldn’t be allowed near children!” But in the spirit […]
When to Stop Saying Thank You
You should quit being grateful when you’re “non-religious”. (If you already understand this, you can stop reading now.) “Religion” is a bad word in America these days. Dictionary definitions differ. For the sake of this article, I’m defining “religion” as: A strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny. That’s it. No […]
The Thing You Always Get Wrong About Adultery
We 21st Century American Christians are awesome! We’re sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good at grace! But don’t take my word for it…read this article. It references that famous adulteress woman who was given backstage access to meet Jesus against her wishes. This is what happens in a group of people who have sound theology but are lacking in love. A […]
We Don’t Know Why You’re Breathing
The Universe shouldn’t exist. That’s what the science guys are telling us. “All of our observations find a complete symmetry between matter and antimatter, which is why the Universe should not actually exist…” Sure. Blame it on symmetry. What’s most curious to me is not that I don’t exist. I’m curious about THIS statement from […]
How To Be Smarter Than God
Lots of people looking for spiritual reality these days. Astrology is making a comeback among the enlightened youth of America. What a relief! Christians have some help keeping mysticism alive! The Church has done an admirable job of incorporating star gazing into Christian doctrine. Covertly, of course! Church folks know witchcraft is forbidden. So we’ve created […]
A New Idea for Arguing, Defending David P and Thinking Clearly
EPISODE – We discuss our fabulous new idea for future podcast episodes! I’m at the Peach’s house today so the grandkids are integrated deeply into this episode. (You should be used to this by now, Pkarlgh.) We’ve got an idea for something we can do in future episodes to test our ability to articulate arguments. […]
A New Idea for Arguing, Defending David P and Thinking Clearly
If you can’t explain your opponent’s position, you have no right to your own. We kick around an idea for future podcasts based on this principle.
Can You Say That A Little Less Clearly?
Let me be brief. I love brevity! Don’t use nine words when eight will do. Succinct communication indicates clear thinking. In general, when you need lots of words to express your idea… …you don’t actually have an idea. Consider this actual statement from an actual person: You didn’t read the whole thing, did you? Be honest! […]
