Alleged Bible contradictions

While many atheists are quite reasonable and charitable when discussing religious matters, I think one of the strategies of the New Atheists is to run around with their Big Book O’ Atheist Sound Bites to distract you, waste your time and plant seeds of doubt with bad arguments.  I addressed many of their standard lines [...]

Mozy on over to back up your data

This is a follow up.  I ended up paying for the unlimited Mozy online backup service (roughly $104 for two years) and am glad I did it.  It took a long time for the initial backup, but we now have all of our thousands of pictures, music, videos, data files, etc. backup up.  The incremental backups [...]

Reducing abortions in Russia?

Courtesy of Marshall, this piece on reducing abortions in Russia:
Authorities in Novorossiysk, a city near the Black Sea, have declared this week to be a “week without abortion.” Doctors won’t conduct termination operations except in “the most extreme cases.” In addition, at the city’s maternity clinic psychologists and gynecologists will work with pregnant women to [...]

From the “I am not making this up” department: Planned Parenthood offers gift certificates, just in time for Christmas.
P.S. Did you know that Planned Parenthood used to be “anti-choice” because they knew that abortion killed a baby and was bad for the mother?  From their own advertisement:
Is it [birth control] an abortion?
Definitely not.  An abortion [...]

This is my annual Nutcracker post, which is one of those family pieces that not everyone will care about.  You’ve been warned. 
If you are in the NW Houston area and would like to get tickets to any [...]

Please go read The Naked Gun on the theology of ministry at Patrick’s blog.  If nothing else, you’ll laugh at a great clip from the movie.

Sanctity of Human Life Sunday will be January 18th this year (as well as January 25th in some places).  Last year I was able to speak at a couple Sunday [...]

Fast food progressive dinner

OK, now for something really important.  Have you ever done a progressive fast food dinner?  It is like a regular progressive dinner where you go to one family’s house for appetizers, then another for the main course, etc.  But in this case you go to multiple fast food locations to accommodate everyone in the car [...]

This site has some good, clear refutations of Mormonism.  I don’t think their religious views are accurate, but I still appreciate their pro-family activities.

Hey kids!  Smoking is really, really bad for you.  Unless Obama is doing it because he’s stressed out.

Who is really anti-choice?

When Liberals refer to me as “anti-choice” I realize it is a predictable personal attack to make it sound like I’m anti-freedom.  As usual, they aren’t finishing their sentences (anti-choice to do what?) and they are ignoring that another human being gets killed when one of the alternatives is chosen. 
My first reaction is that I [...]

The real haters and responding to their inconsistency

Ms. Green has some videos of truly hateful behavior by the anti-Proposition 8 folks.  Yet it is the Christians who are continually referred to as haters.  Sure, Fred Phelps and his ilk are haters and they call themselves Christian, but their behavior displays about as much fruit as their counterparts on the Left.  And the demonstrators on [...]

My poor dog

Xannie (short for Xannax, the anti-anxiety medicine) had to get some fatty tumors removed and has quite a few stiches. She needs to wear this “Elizabethan Collar” for a while. She bumps into things all over.

eBates

Normally I don’t bother with this sort of thing, but I signed up for eBates and it turned out to be legitimate and a good deal.  Basically you use their site as a portal to shop at traditional stores (e.g., eBay, Wal-Mart, Target, Office Depot, etc.) at their regular prices and eBates gives you a % back.  Membership is [...]

Fort Worth Episcopals vote to leave liberal denomination - Good for them.  This letter from the Ft. Worth Bishop really highlights the irreconcilable differences between them and the national church. 
Bible believers don’t belong with non-Bible believers.  There are reasons the Bible teaches us not to be unequally yoked.  I hope that the United Methodist Church either splits [...]

Liberal theology: Ignorance, wimpiness or deceptiveness?

Chuck Currie, the UCC poster boy for false teaching, was at it again when attacking the Jews for Jesus organization.
Are non-Christians doomed to the fires of hell for their lack of faith in Jesus? No.
That seems rather dogmatic for someone who says the remaining things that Chuck does.  Chuck’s human understanding – which he makes [...]

These are the people that elected Obama

This is very important to consider.  The point isn’t just finding people who were woefully uninformed.  That would be like shooting fish in a barrel and could be done with voters from either party. 
It was that they were completely uninformed about Obama, Reid, Pelosi, etc. while they knew lots about Sarah Palin – and generally [...]

Viability, health and other pro-abortion lies

The Freedom of Choice Act — which, ironically, denies all freedoms to the unborn human beings — is a case study in liberal double-speak.  While pretending to provide limits for abortion it actually removes them all.  Here is the language:
It is the policy of the United States that every woman has the fundamental right to [...]
