My wife wanted me to watch The Incredible Hulk with her. I am not one to watch fictional movies. But I did want to please my wife so I agreed to watch it with her. This led to her getting mad at me. At a certain point in the movie, when Bruce Banner “hulked out,” I told my wife to pause the movie. I am an engineer. So of course, as an engineer, I was compelled to explain to my…..
Planned Parenthood is once again in the news – this time for selling baby body parts from abortions. And of course the Obama administration is siding with Planned Parenthood. Many people are outraged, as they should be. I find it interesting that something in the “fish stage” or a “blob of tissue” could have human body parts. But all of this is to be expected once you know the common thread of Planned Parenthood and Nazi Germany – which…..
To truly understand the U.S. Supreme Court decision on what a “marriage” is, you need to understand that our country has rejected the Bible as truth and why this has happened. “Science” has been taken over by materialistic philosophy. Materialistic philosophy (otherwise known as naturalism) is the belief that matter and energy are all that exist – no afterlife, no angels and certainly no God. It goes hand in hand with atheism. It also forms a basis for secular humanism…..
Dan Quayle never really was given much of a chance. I will admit during the 1988 Vice-Presidential debate, he did not handle the question of what he would do as president very well. He should have just answered the question – saying he would work on cutting spending, promoting free trade, working out an arms deal with the Soviets, or whatever his agenda would be. He instead kept explaining why he was qualified to be president. Then there was…..
There are several reasons why we lost the Vietnam War. There is a legitimate discussion about getting ourselves into the war in the first place. During the Korean War, we would push up into North Korea, putting the Communists on the defensive; whereas the Vietnam War was fought more defensively. The Vietnamese had a history of being treated badly by foreigners – the Chinese, the French, and the Japanese. And to many Vietnamese who did not know about political-economic systems,…..
In my posting “Ireland? This is what I have been talking about!” I warned about Justice Kennedy casting the deciding vote on the future of our country. I explained that we are in this situation because of the failings of church leadership to teach Christians that they really can believe the Bible! Now it has happened. We know what side of the bed that Justice Kennedy woke up on. Justice Kennedy sided with Sonia Sotomayor and Elana Kegan (two…..
This is really a follow-up to a blog that I posted on June 08, 2015 – “A Matter of Rights?” I made the point that a man becoming a woman, two dudes marrying each other, or a person becoming a cat is not a matter of rights. It is an impossibility. A person cannot be someone or something that they are not just because they want to be. And an institution such as marriage is not just whatever we want…..
But if I say I’ll never mention the Lord or speak in His name, His word burns in my heart like a fire. It’s like a fire in my bones! I am worn out trying to hold it in! I can’t do it! Jeremiah 20:9, NLT. These are the words Jeremiah spoke after Pashhur the priest had Jeremiah whipped and put into stocks for telling the people the message that they did not want to hear. The message from God was that the…..
A big news story right now is Bruce Jenner becoming “Caitlyn” Jenner. Sometime back, a man that I knew from work decided to become a “woman.” This became a point of discussion with some of my wife’s family. I am not in favor of efforts to make a man a “woman” or a woman a “man.” The people that I was having the discussion with were asking me what basis that I had for not believing someone had a right…..
On February 18, 2013, Laurence Krauss stated on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation “Okay. Well, I’ve recently, in the United States, just stated that teaching creationism is child abuse and I think it is. Namely, if you withhold knowledge or you do anything to children that puts them at a competitive disadvantage as adults, it’s child abuse. It’s mild forms of child abuse but it’s like withholding medicine. Withholding knowledge that later on will cause kids to become less competitive because…..
