Speaking of shrill, an atheist student group has set up a table on the campus of the University of Texas at San Antonio. Their project name is “Smut for Smut.” If you turn in your Bible (which they consider smut), they will give you some real smut (a pornographic magazine). Here’s the rationale in a [...]

Some people see a miracle in everything. In truth, this is not a bad approach in terms of appreciating.. Claiming the miraculous for every single thing sometimes strains credibility. But if there is something that is difficult to explain, it might be a miracle. Sometimes proving something is not a miracle can be more ludicrous [...]

The Tebow Family Tackles (sorry I couldn’t help it) the Super Bowl In spite of all the snarling, whining, and threatening, CBS aired the ad sponsored by Focus on the Family featuring Pam (mother) and Tim (son) Tebow. Pam Tebow talked about her “miracle baby,” how hard it was, and how she still worried [...]

On Monday, we scampered down the road of women’s groups trying to act as censors. In that post, it was noted that the arguments for censoring were not only flawed, but bordered on mere excuses that would not hold up unless you were committed to their point of view. Another quote to bring home the [...]

How quaint. I wrote about Banned Book Week in October when Marian, the Librarian proclaimed an entire week to rail against the evils of censorship. During that same week, non-Christians worldwide celebrated International Blasphemy Day supposedly as a protest to censorship, but really bordering on “hate-speech” against the Christian God. Even the founder of the [...]

Many people get themselves in an uproar when someone uses the abbreviation Xmas. To them, it symbolizes the effort to remove the Christ from Christmas – if not to obliterate Christian overtones to the holiday. And clearly, there are those who use Xmas with that intention. It seems legitimate for committed Christians to get exacerbated [...]

The holiday season is upon us. It does start earlier and earlier each year – at least in the stores. In the good old days, you didn’t see Christmas decorations until Thanksgiving. You didn’t see Halloween stuff in the stores until October. Well, it’s a lot different now. The store displays relating to holidays are [...]

On March 31, 2005 Terry Schiavo died. If you don’t remember the name Schiavo, maybe you’ll remember that there was a nationwide controversy surrounding her husband’s efforts to pull the plug. This case – probably mostly forgotten – was a high point for “the culture of death” and a low point for prolife and disability [...]

On Monday, November 23, 2009, I thought about November 22, 1963. The entire Sunday, the date never entered my mind. This is the first time in 45 years that I haven’t thought about the Kennedy assassination on November 22. I have noted with each passing year, however, the media coverage shrinking. I am a little [...]

It’s pretty unlikely that you’ve spent a lot of time thinking or talking about either Communism or Eastern Europe. We don’t even use the term “Red China” much anymore. Most twenty-somethings probably don’t even know that much about Communism apart from their college years. They also don’t know how worldview colors so many other things [...]
