Will Your Kid Get Stung?
I heard a tale from a Christian person that might be of interest to other Christian people who are still trying to decide whether or not to send their kids to public school. The tale goes: Once there was a Christian couple who educated their child at home. This family thought homeschooling was the best […]
God Is Omniresponsible
WARNING: Awkward theological concept to follow. Every analogy falls apart when applied to the infinite Creator of the cosmos so there WILL be misunderstandings. If you believe that God is all-powerful (omnipotent, sovereign, etc.) then consider this a ‘heads-up’ from a brother who shares your belief. Claiming that God is the ultimate authority over the […]
I Don’t Have My Own Truth
Had a face-to-face conversation with a real live person who believes religion is a huge problem. I told this person (face-to-face) that everybody holds some philosophical ideas which constitute a ‘religion.’ I told him (face-to-face) that he holds religious views, even if he chooses to call them something else. He was a bit annoyed and […]
Empowerment Comes from Others
I’m hearing women talk about empowerment and before I say some stuff that will undoubtedly be interpreted as anti-women, I want to say, for the record, that I understand why some of you ladies feel compelled to seek power. You’ve been indoctrinated to believe that power is a matter of will. You were taught that […]
Send Money to Stamp Out Indoctrination!
Across the ocean in the United Kingdom, a group of Humanists have committed themselves to stamping out discrimination and indoctrination in education. One particularly plucky pagan has setup an online fundraising page to collect money to be used in irradicating indoctrination. I hope you Humanists give sacrificially to this important cause. Ending religious bias should […]
Scouting Is Not For Everyone
The Boy Scouts of America is an organization for boys that also welcomes non-boys so it’s not surprising that they decided to drop the word “boy” from their name. The organization will be calling themselves, “Scouting America,” which (according to their website), “reflects the continuing efforts to welcome everyone to experience the benefits of Scouting.” Everyone?!! EVERYONE?!!!! LOL! What about the people […]
Who Needs Rain When We Have Garden Hoses?
I don’t think we need rain anymore. Water comes right out of faucets and showerheads now. Bottles full of water are available at gas stations, grocery stores, and vending machines. We don’t have to wait for precipitation to fall from the sky. Whenever we need H20, it’s at our fingertips. We just turn a handle! […]
Everybody Is Prejudice
To the charge of being prejudice I plead guilty. Assumptions and presuppositions color my perspective on every subject with which I am even slightly familiar. If I know anything at all about a topic, I’m prejudiced on it. I’m prejudiced against the flu, substance abuse, starvation, homelessness, armed robbery, bee stings, biting my tongue, and […]
Christ for All Nations (Except America)
Only a little over half of Evangelicals have even heard of ‘Christian Nationalism’ and if you’re one of them, I’m not talking to you. The majority of people who have heard the term are really uneasy about it because they’ve been told it’s a dictatorship that will force everyone to adopt the Christian faith. In […]
Condescension Is Compassion
In my continued effort to reduce needless suffering I’ll condescend to suggest that you cease being offended by my condescension. Your agitation is unwarranted. Gratitude is a more appropriate response than indignation. The dictionary definition of “condescension” is ‘voluntary descent from one’s rank or dignity in relations with an inferior.’ When I condescend to you […]
