Red Heifers, Zealots and Holy War

The media and politics of late have been focused on a conflict in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel. Any American paying attention could tell you about the beginning and continuing of the conflict. Pro-Palestine protesters turn up to various places to condemn wartime brutalities against civilians in Gaza, while Israel supporters advocate Israel’s … Continue reading →

Could Dolly Parton Unite a Divided US?

This is not a serious question. It is just a musing contemplating whether a beloved celebrity like Dolly Parton with her brand of “Dollitics” could do what obviously our elected politicians cannot, which is encoraging this country to adopt the 3Cs of civility, courtesy, and compassion. If you are wondering what “Dollitics” is, it is … Continue reading →

Christians, does this woman embarrass you?

I would like to ask you to take a close look at this meme, but don’t focus on the words. Focus on the face of Kim Davis. This is an actual picture taken by an AP photographer during her conversation with a gay couple applying for a marriage license. Now, looking at that face, I … Continue reading →

Marriage licenses are a heaven and hell decision, but the root of all evil is not.

Like many, I ‘ve been following the saga of Kentucky deputy clerk Kim Davis as she battles into martyrdom for her stand against gay marriage. Today after appearing before a US District judge, Davis was in court and reprimanded to jail until such time as she agreed to perform her appointed duties. Outside the courthouse, … Continue reading →

Commentary on the Christian Hypocrisy of Josh Duggar

If you have followed my blog then you are probably aware that I hold a particular disdain for televangelists. It is no secret that I detest the likes of Jim Bakker, Benny Hinn, Jimmy Swaggart and … Continue reading →

Intellectual Heroism?

I stumbled across a blog that is promoted as a “civil discourse to better understand atheism.” A few clicks later and I realized that was a misleading statement. But among these clicks I came across one commenter applauding the genius of another by referring to his “intellectual heroism.” The phrase ‘intellectual heroism” is new to … Continue reading →

Scientific Proofs on Origins

Despite some atheist’s claims that science provides evidence that a god does not exist, as it is related to the origins of man or the universe, there is no such thing as scientific proof. For a proof to exist it must be irrefutable and forever true. It must be absolute and final and there cannot … Continue reading →

If it’s My Horse Hockey, It’s Ok

I have recently read a blog post republishing an article on Christian intolerance. In this article the author writes in defense of being labeled intolerant for his conservative right Christian views.  In this defense, he utilizes selected bible scriptures in an attempt to portray Christ as the commander of condemnation and intolerance toward others. He … Continue reading →

The Devil in Your Doctrine

This is a rant on doctrinal elitisms’. In the war of words, the words spoken between two staunch supporters of dueling doctrines becomes particularly venomous. This behavior results as a belief becomes hardened over time and becomes a part of identity, and a fear of letting go of that part of oneself. It is nonsense … Continue reading →

Prosperity from the Pulpit

I have read several blog posts lately about prosperity preachers. Some posts are positive and in favor of prosperity teachings. Others are negative and claim such teachings are preferred over the messages of righteousness and salvation. These are the voices of the haves and the have-nots. I wonder what prosperity would represent from God’s perspective. … Continue reading →
