Michael Scott, President Obama & theological liberals

I always laugh at the scene from The Office where the boss, Michael Scott, reveals his utter narcissism and desperate need for approval:
Do I need to be liked?  Absolutely not.  I like to be liked.  I enjoy being liked.  I have to be liked.  But it’s not this compulsive need to be liked, like my need [...]

Clinton to Receive Planned Parenthood’s Highest Award, named after eugenicist Margaret Sanger.  What a vile award. It speaks volumes that Clinton would be a recipient.  PP tries to downplay Sanger’s eugenics work as if it was just some quirky trait, but it was foundational to her philosophy.  Among other things, she would bribe black ministers [...]

Dedicated to sarcastic people. You know who you are.

According to Australian scientists, sarcasm can help diagnose dementia.  Apparently those under 65 suffering from a common form of dementia cannot detect when someone is being sarcastic.
So for those of you who heart sarcasm or insist that you have the spiritual gift of sarcasm, you now have an easy answer when people get irritated at [...]

Reasons not to teach the Bible in public schools

This is what you’ll probably get:
Dalmatian Theologians (your basic false teachers, who insist that the Bible is only inspired in spots and that they are inspired to spot the spots)
Kids, get out your scissors!  The Bible has all sorts of parts that don’t belong plus some things that are missing. 
The Book of John doesn’t belong there.  [...]

Should Michael Vick be reinstated?  Yes. He has paid dearly for his serious crimes – many millions of dollars, a big chunk of his career, prison time, reputation, etc.What he did was awful, yet think of how many pro-choice people dare to criticize Vick. They think crushing and dismembering innocent human beings is fine as long [...]

Britain is waking up to the effects of their complacency as their freedoms erode more and more.  When they banned handguns, the government controlled the law-abiding people but not the criminals.  Go figure.  A crime victim in an isolated location is in jail for using a gun to protect himself while the criminal is already [...]

If it feels good, you shouldn’t necessarily do it

Many people subscribe to the philosophy of “if it feels good, do it,” or its cousin, utilitarianism, which is defined as:
the ethical doctrine that virtue is based on utility, and that conduct should be directed toward promoting the greatest happiness of the greatest number of persons (Dictionary.com)
I see at least three significant problems with these [...]

Mmmmmmm . . . chicken fried bacon

We went to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo today.  This is one big deal if you like that sort of thing.  Over 21,000 volunteers put on quite the extravaganza.  I only go every 8 years or so.  As my youngest said, it is a good place to go and embrace your inner redneck.
Highlights:

Planned Parenthood gets caught covering up statutory rape … again

Planned Parenthood gets caught covering up statutory rape… again
What will it take to get widespread media coverage of the evils of Planned Parenthood?  Why does this organization, which performs more than 250,000 abortions per year, get hundreds of millions of dollars in government funding?
Worse yet, with Obama in power the pro-abortionists will be trying to [...]

Gaffer in Chief strikes again

Normally I’m pretty quick to ignore slips of the tongue by politicians and people in the public eye.  The more you talk the more likely it is you may say something stupid that doesn’t reflect what you really mean.  People should be able to clarify what they meant without it being a multi-year free for [...]

Obama’s latest deflector shield

See Right Klik: 100% Tax for a good wrap-up on the blunders and lies of the Dems on the AIG bonus issue.  First the Rush Limbaugh issue, now this.  Oh, the humanity!  Anything to distract the masses from the cluelessness of Obama & Co.
Sure, it is pathetic when people get bonuses in a situation like this.  [...]

Really, I’m pro-choice.

Pro-choice for whom one should legally marry (i.e., no forced marriages).
Pro-choice for choosing your religion (or lack of one).
Pro-school choice (whether it is the choice of which public school to attend or the option of home schooling).
Pro-choice of parents to know if their children are receiving birth control at school.
Pro-choice of parents to know if [...]

The transfiguration and reading in context

Many Bible questions can be answered simply by reading what comes before and after the passage in question — that is, reading in context.
For example, Matthew 16 ended with Jesus saying,
“I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” 
That [...]

At the risk of disappointing conspiracy theorists . . .

Dr. James White pointed out something I knew the facts of but which I hadn’t thought of in this particular light: There has never been a time when one person or organization had sole control over the New Testament writings such that they could change it.
That is a huge point. 
Most of the books were canonized without [...]

Sweden is having major problems with the growth of Islam.  The country is often held up as an example of how swell things can be if you ignore God, but they are finding out the that the “reap what you sow” part from Galatians is true.  Sure, people may enjoy sin for a time, but it [...]
