The death of George Floyd and its aftermath has prompted a lot of discussion of the need for change. Proposals that I have heard include increased training of law enforcement, allowing for law enforcement agents to be personally sued, and one that I like if it is workable – increased body cams. I have also heard of proposals that do not make any sense at all to me, such as defunding the police. What do people want? Total anarchy? That…..
This past week I was struck by two news stories. The first one was Rachel Dolezal being disinvited from a Baltimore book festival.1 She was the person forced to resign as President of the NAACP because it was discovered she was not “black.” The second news story was a federal appeals court ruling that a 17 year old Wisconsin high school student, Ashton Whitaker, who is female, may use the boy’s room.2 Writing about the school’s policy, U.S. Circuit Judge…..

After the movie, for those interested, I handed out pamphlets with information about the San Antonio Bible Based Science Association.1 I handed out all of the pamphlets that I had.

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…..

I am a Director of the San Antonio Bible Based Science Association and the author of Why Should I Believe? Why Should You Believe?
