Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Religion is in the news a lot lately. All around the world, in what I’m sure is just a bizarre coincidence, masses of people who just happen to be Muslim (and proudly say so) are busily decapitating people, shooting people, raping people, burning people, and stoning people — all of
Continue readingMy brain is filled with Apocalyptic imagery, but it’s not because Obama is president, the Middle East is in flames, our southern border has collapsed, our economy is stagnant, Greece may drag down Europe, and Islamist’s are resurgent everywhere. It’s actually because last night, when my work load finally showed
Continue readingIf you’re wondering why we’re suddenly hearing so many stories about conservative Christians (not Muslims, mind you, just Christians) being dragged before the thought-police for failing to bake cakes, make bouquets, or take photographs at gay weddings, you need wonder no more. Coincidence is not at work here. These small
Continue readingA friend sent me this poster: I emailed my friend back, and thought I’d share with you the random thoughts the poster triggered in my fevered brain: We know that gay lefties, each thinking of him or her (or its) self as a modern-day Rosa Parks, aren’t just stumbling into
Continue readingThe useful thing about the Left’s willingness to expose its ignorance is that analyzing its errors often leads one to greater truths. For me, the greater truth flowing from a poster highlighting Leftist stupidity is that Jesus almost certainly would have approved of Indiana’s new Religious Freedom Restoration Act, as well as similar
Continue readingObama’s adversarial relationship with Christianity What did we expect already from yesterday’s Prayer Breakfast? Obama long ago put the world on notice that he’s going full Bulworth (i.e., after six years in office, he intends, finally, to stop lying and speak the truth). While before Obama just let out peevish little
Continue readingHitler loved Islam.* If you didn’t know that he loved Islam, you might think that Hitler, with his race-based obsessions, would have been hostile to a religion primarily centered on a Semitic people. To Hitler, though, Islam was a manly religion that shared his goals: the eradication of the Jews coupled with world domination.
Continue readingMy sister watched The Unbelievers, a documentary that follows Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss as they try to convert people to atheism, with science as the true faith. That’s all fine. If they want to proselytize to willing listeners, good for them. I have just a few comments, based upon
Continue readingBarack Obama self-identifies as a Christian. He seems, though, to find Christianity troubling. Meanwhile, although he denies being a Muslim, he obviously finds it an emotionally and aesthetically attractive belief system. Why do I say this? Because someone was good enough to assemble a list of his statements about both religions,
Continue readingBefore I explain how Christians are killing Christianity (at least according to Alternet and Salon), a short anecdote: I have friends who used to joke that they would take up smoking when their kids were teens. Why? So that the kids, who they assumed would be rebellious, would rebel against
Continue readingMatthew, a firefighter, fell asleep on the way home from a 24 hour shift. When he awoke, he had caused a crash that killed 30-year-old June and her unborn son. Left behind were her 18 month old daughter, Faith, and her husband, Erik. What Erik did next will astound you:
Continue readingPope Francis’s recent “Apostolic Exhortation Evangeli Gaudium of the Holy Father Francis, to the Bishops, Clerk, Consecrated Persons and the Lay Faithful on the Proclamation of the Gospel in Today’s World” outraged conservatives, most notably Rush Limbaugh, because it attacks capitalism. Even though I trust Rush, he admitted that he
Continue readingI am not exaggerating when I say that C.S. Lewis’s Narnia books were an important element in my moral development. I read them as a child because I loved the fantastic stories. I appreciate them as an adult because I value their spiritual and moral underpinnings. I have no doubt
Continue readingI don’t know what the story is behind this baptism picture that I found while writing up this post for Mr. Conservative, but I like the joyousness it radiates. (When I say “I don’t know what the story is,” what I mean is that, while I understand that it’s a
Continue readingMuch is being made of Obama’s speech in Ireland, in which he managed to insult parochial education. Catholics seem most disturbed, perhaps because (a) most parochial schools in America are Catholic and (b) Obama has been at war with the Catholic church by trying to make churches pay for abortifacients
