Uncle Sam’s Hamartia = Your Early Death
Government agencies spend billions funding ways to kill you, or bleeding your wallet when you get sick, but precious little on how to keep you well.
If Tony Fauci et al really cared about Americans, they would have funded more studies about what enhances or inhibits natural immune response, not funded bat virus research in China. They would have tried to boost Americans’ overall health, not shut down gyms and force masks onto their faces. Most importantly of all, they would have left... Continue Reading
The Self-Malediction of “In Gay We Trust”
A malediction is to speak (diction) a curse (mal = bad), and that’s what the LGBTQers are doing. They are cutting off their future.
The Democratic Party has been pushing Planned Parenthood, abortion, and birth control. Big-name philanthropists are putting their money behind birth control efforts. Liberals have been pushing birth control and abortion for decades. While pro-abortion liberals are pushing the abortion and contraception wagon, Christian conservatives with their large families could dominate the culture in a generation... Continue Reading
The False Gospel of Cultural Marxism—Part 1
Paul alerts us to the fact that there is such a thing as a false gospel, one that is counterfeit of the real gospel that leaves people accursed.
Paul’s epistle to the Galatians was written to a specific church at a specific time and the fake gospel they were dealing with was also very specific: Judaizing. Notice, however, how Paul does not say, “this particular other gospel.” He rather says: any other gospel. This, I believe, allows us to apply his warning to... Continue Reading
The Black Death and the Ever-Present Judgment of God
It is oddly comforting to revisit past plagues, perhaps because it gives me greater perspective to see through the silliness of describing our current moment with a word like “unprecedented.”
Beyond the economic concerns are the religious questions that seep through the story from start to finish. Hatcher is wise to transport us to the medieval world of Christianity by making a priest the main character. Through the eyes of “Master John” and the stories of his parishioners, we learn how important it was to... Continue Reading
Why The World Does Not Care
Much of what is offered in the name of Christianity is little more than moralizing and cheerleading sound bites.
While evangelical Christians nervously were wringing their hands, most did little to rise to the spiritual challenge. In fact, their naivete fueled intellectual laziness and biblical illiteracy. Pulpits continued to preach weightless sermons, musicians started writing meaningless feel-good choruses, while business model programs were developed in an attempt to breathe life back into the church....

Let It Find Us
We should no longer allow this virus to determine our every move or dominate our thoughts. We must claim our lives back.
If the virus is to find us, let it find us being Americans and not trolls of a dystopian authoritative regime. Let it find us singing in the church choir, going to Sunday school, or sitting in our normal pew at church. Let it find us at the kids’ ballgames, attending the school spelling bee, at cheerleading... Continue Reading
A New Sin, and a New Salvation Requirement?
Are you saved? The New Covid Gospel
If you have questions about the efficacy of masks, or lockdowns, or the new Covid vaccines, you are looked at like some sort of despicable heathen. You are treated with contempt by some of these ‘Christians’ as they try to make you feel like you cannot possibly be saved. You are now a heretic who... Continue Reading
Galileo versus the CDC
The institutional power that oppressed Galileo is as much a threat to assembling a true picture today as it was in the 17th century.
Then as now, cooperation between researchers is the optimal way to leverage all the skills and knowledge available. It is precisely this cybernetic enhancement of our individual powers that can make the sciences today so much more effective than in Galileo’s time. At least, they are when we do not block productive cooperation by censoring... Continue Reading
The History of American Evangelicals’ Opposition to Abortion Is Long
Pro-choice advocates push a new talking point that it isn’t. Let’s look at the record.
[The] account of Evangelicals being late to the pro-life cause isn’t meant to convince the serious pro-lifer but to poison the well against pro-life advocacy. If the public can be convinced that pro-lifers are disingenuous, and hiding racist motivations, then it can more easily disregard discomfort about the ethics of abortion. As the pro-life movement...

The Effectual Truth of Identity Politics
The idea of “equal concern and respect," rather than particular grievances of any group, provides the moral foundation of identity politics today.
This “difference principle” explains the otherwise puzzling current alliance of the high and low against the middle. I refer to the political coalition that now governs America. It consists of the union of those groups designated least advantaged (single mothers, other single women, minorities, and LGBTQ) with the wealthiest and most highly educated classes. ...
