With this interruption to our normal lives the coronavirus has caused, I think we need to ask ourselves: Is the coronavirus a bad thing? How should we respond to this? Should we be taking all of the measures that we are taking to prevent the spread of the disease and save lives? We know that the people who are most threatened by this illness are people with underlying health issues and the elderly.1 From my observation, that is like other…..
In his 2014 article “Why Stop at Refusing to Bake a Cake for a Same-Sex Marriage,” Bernard Goldberg (a political pundit seen as conservative and actually opposed President Obama) sees the issue of a business owner who does not want to cater same sex “weddings” as a civil rights issue.1 He states: “But when laws are based on deeply held religious beliefs, I get nervous.” He compares this to people using their religious beliefs to justify segregation and laws against…..
Peter Ward, a University of Washington Biology professor, claims that people being stressed from Donald Trump’s presidency will cause an evolutionary change.1 Ward states: “Were finding more and more that, for instance, people who have gone through combat, or women who have been abused when you have these horrendous episodes in life, it causes permanent change, which is then passed on to your kid.” He then goes on to say “On a larger scale, the amount of stress that Americans…..
Recently I saw a “Rights at Risk” episode on Stossel. John Stossel was debating with Democratic consultant Jessica Tarlov on a segment called “The Rights of Entrepreneurs.”1 First, Tarlov was defending “anti-discrimination” laws which are to force Christian bakers to cater same-sex “weddings.” Next, Tarlov was defending laws that are to force Christian employers to provide birth control (that would include abortifacients). Tarlov stated: “It is a right now to have that!” while pointing at birth control pills that John…..
On August 28, 2015, a Harris County Deputy Sheriff was shot multiple times in the back. The “Black Lives Matter” campaign is being blamed for much of the recent violence against police.1 From what I have been able to ascertain, the accused murderer, Shannon J. Miles, a 30-year old man, lived at home with his mother.2 Evidently his father was not a part of the picture. Once again, I can see how our problems as a society would mostly go…..
On May 20, 2015, President Obama made his address to the Coast Guard Academy about climate change? Really, Mr. President? Is this our biggest problem now? Is this how you want to inspire graduates of our Coast Guard Academy? But to understand President Obama, you need to understand that he is a Darwinist – and what that means. In an interview with the York Daily Record, March 31, 2008, then Senator Obama stated the following: “I’m a Christian, and…..
The Bible is quite often criticized for some of the hard things in it, particularly in the Mosaic Law. There are a lot of things to be said about this. Paul, in his letter to the Romans, discusses how the law shows us our sin. Dennis Prager is making some of the harder verses a discussion point for his program, showing that when you really dig into it, the verses make a lot more sense and represent a giant step…..
