Learning from Vandalism
“Jason was here” Truth, no doubt. If we trust the spray painted lettering on the wall. And if we can’t have confidence in graffiti …we’re in sad shape indeed. Jason’s proclamation stirs me deeply. I want to know his motives. Maybe this is one of several Jasons I know. If that’s true, he could have called me. “Hey John! It’s Jason. I’m […]
Guess I Gotta Be A Feminist
I thought feminists just wanted to kill babies. Then I read an article and I realized that I’ve been wrong. Killing babies is just a small part of feminism. Feminists are also combating every form of misogyny. Even in the church! “…many women in the church today experience belittlement for nothing more than not being men.” […]
How To Kill a Compliment
I’m an expert at rejecting compliments. Whenever someone dares fire a kind word in my direction, I employ one of several defensive techniques. Sometimes I argue with the compliment. “You’re writing is so thoughtful.” No it’s not. You’re too easily impressed. BOOM! Rejected! This technique not only voids the compliment, …it also questions the compliment giver’s intelligence. […]
Smarter than God
Gravity is a universal constant. We can’t muck around with it. Because God knows we would. We’d be adjusting it all the time. Changing it to do “good things”. Prevent avalanches. Stop bathroom falls. End skydiving fatalities. Save lives. Fix problems. …and ultimately destroy life on Earth. Our attempts to fix the problems that come from […]
If Mary Was A Feminist
Feminism is a things that I’ve heard some Christian women say we need. These women believe that women aren’t being treated well enough in regular, old, New Testament Christianity so they’re looking to secular philosophy to create a more fair and equitable kingdom of God. I mean no disrespect when I say this but, ladies, […]
How Much Do You Bother Your Friends?
I don’t take those online quizzes that my hidden traits. You know the quizzes I’m talking about, right? Those series of questions that dig deep into my character to reveal important information like, the color of my soul, or my ‘inner nationality,’ or what kind of spice I am. Note, this isn’t revealing which ‘Spice […]
You MUST Understand This About Every Movie Ever Made
There was a movie called, “The Interview” that upset some Christians. I didn’t actually see the movie but I knew the folks were upset about the final scene which featured an awesome, slow-motion explosion of a helicopter, which portrayed North Korea’s lovable dictator, Kim Jong Un, blowing to bits in awesome, slow-motion. To these Christians, it’s inappropriate. They […]
Tolerate Horror
I don’t think everyone knows what ‘tolerate’ means. Tolerance is allowing morons to live freely among us. Intolerance is telling me I can’t call a moron, ‘a moron’. There’s a difference between tolerance and acquiescence. I will tolerate you not knowing what acquiesce means. I acquiesce that many of you won’t bother to look it up. […]
Pocket Privilege
I don’t want to take blessings for granted. So I appreciate articles like the one I read awhile back from a famous pastor entitled, “More on Ferguson and White Privilege.” It was articles like this that helped our country cast aside all the progress we’ve made eliminating racism and dedicate our energies on solving problems […]
Ball Recall
Several years ago, I got a letter that probably saved my life. Thanks to the efforts of some governmental agency, Buckyballs were banned in the United States. What are Buckyballs? They are little, spherical magnets. They can be stuck together into interesting shapes. And… they’re the most lethal, metal objects invented since the Guillotine. Here is […]
