2023-04-13 Bookworm Video Podcast
I’m baaaaack! This time, I take on God’s role as a speed trap, homework (yes or no?), Sen. Tim Scott, slavery, and women’s (or is it men’s?) lingerie.

The Left’s cruelty — an ideology without room for repentance
Leftism is just another faith, but it’s more cruel than the Judeo-Christian tradition as its creed does not recognize remorse, repentance, and redemption. This is a rather discursive post, but there are a lot of ideas and facts I want to tie together to explain why I argue that Leftism

The Kavanaugh hearing and the true danger of Godless Communists
Watching the Kavanaugh hearing, it’s obvious that Leftists who don’t believe in eternal damnation have no internal brakes stopping their evil behavior. In 1954, Congress added the phrase “under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance, something it did as a direct rebuke to Godless communism. I never really focused on

Is suicide up in America because our culture is hopeless and deformed?
Newly obsessed with a spike in suicide, Leftists argue that Americans are mean. I contend that the suicide spike is because Leftists have denied us hope. The recent suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain have brought suicide into the American spotlight. Although an “N” of two is not a

[VIDEO] All theories about our universe are matters of faith
Modern astrophysics is a faith just as surely as traditional religion is — but the astrophysicists are too arrogant to admit to that fact. Regular readers know that a troll came through here this past weekend castigating religious believers as idiots and wrapping himself in the scientifically pure flag of

Bookworm Beat 3/22/17 — the “let’s pretend that terrorist attacks in London are ordinary” edition
This round-up post opens with the London terrorist attack, but also covers Trump and Obamacare, the Sudan, climate change, media bias, faith, and risky sex. In the wake of the deadly terrorist attack in London, people were remembering last year, when London’s first Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan, said that terrorism

The Bookworm Beat 3/8/17 — Keeping Up With The Culture Wars
To stay ahead of the Left’s gnawing away at every underpinning of Western civilization, we need to stay updated about the culture wars. This post helps. Modern wars are never fought on one front. They are fought on all fronts. Obama’s minions in government are trying to bring President Trump

Something that gives me hope in a dark time
Wolf Howling sent me a very beautiful passage from the diary of a French Huguenot who arrived in South Carolina in the 1680s. Here’s the quotation, bracketed with some history to explain the context in which it arose. All of it comes from The History of South Carolina Under the Proprietary Government
Continue readingTed Cruz needs to explain to non-Evangelical voters that they need not fear him
Now that Ted Cruz, for the time being at least, is the front-runner, I’m starting to get emails from conservatives in Marin who are disturbed by his open expressions of Christian faith. Just like their Progressive neighbors, they’re worried about finding themselves in a theocracy. I therefore think Ted Cruz
Continue readingThe Book of Mormon: The smug laughter of people who don’t recognize their own irrational beliefs
I saw the musical The Book of Mormon yesterday. I was disappointed. I knew it would be anti-Mormon and filled with prepubescent potty and sexual humor, so that wasn’t what bothered me. What bothered me was that it wasn’t clever, that it didn’t attack genuine societal ills at home or
Continue readingThe gift of forgiveness
Matthew, 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 readingThree degrees of separation
I enjoy reading my Liberal-Lefty friends’ Facebook posts because they are so insightful into the mindsets of the Left. One insight that I have gained over time is that the differences between us conservatives and the Progressive/Left are so profound that they are unlikely to ever be bridged, barring some
Continue readingI’m with Dennis Prager on this one: the “God particle” does not negate the possibility that there is a God
A lot of people have been crowing that the “God particle” proves that there is no God, because it explains the “something from nothing” aspect of the Big Bang. These people forget one thing: Where did the so-called God particle originate? Dennis Prager is more erudite than I am, so
Continue readingPresident Obama’s church is the Chapel of (Progressive) Democracy
Best of the Web posts a 2004 interview with Cathleen Falsani of the Chicago Sun-Times in which Obama defines sin, not along traditional Christian or Muslim lines, but along self-referential lines: Falsani: Do you believe in sin? Obama: Yes. Falsani: What is sin? Obama: Being out of alignment with my

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this here before, but my dog is perfect. Her perfection isn’t always obvious to the uninitiated. Those who don’t know what’s really important might think that, because she’s a mutt, she’s a little goofy looking. They may feel that her habit of slipping on
