  • On Insulting the Intelligence of Man…

    From the roaring comments of those like Richard Dawkins and the Neo Atheists[1] to the great dissatisfaction we find in our pulpits, it seems as though in today’s society, the intellectual elite constantly insults the intelligence of his fellow man. While those like Dawkins find it necessary to attack maliciously the well thought out beliefs…

  • It Seems To Me

    It seems to me that secular society has no reason to deny God as it does. After all, a tradition given to us by the philosophers of old, namely David Hume, suggests that things are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. We judge the world today according to laws and phenomena that have always been,…

  • No One is Capable of Understanding

                Some time ago I very facetiously wrote a brief “philosophy of philosophy”[1] and, in the presented argument, suggested that doing philosophy meant nothing without God. My younger brother, Nolan, replied to my ‘argument’ and, I must say, he replied very well.[2] He came to the same conclusion, only changing the…

  • Dichotomy of War and Peace

    Everyone desires peace, and everyone participates in war. War itself has been attributed many causes including religion, social Darwinism, general human selfishness and various power struggles throughout the years. From the vicious land-grab of the Medieval Crusades to the battles of philosophy and science and religious ideals, humanity has always been at war with itself…

The first, is the maturity one has in his or her relationship with God. To symbolize this definition, I could ask how close you are to God. The second, and most often used…

  • Is Marriage Really That Sacred Anyway?

              Throughout all of history there has been a separation between the way that the believer views certain ideals and the way that the unbeliever views those same ideals. Within their certain worldviews, there have always been disagreements even among like individuals as to the implications of these ideals. As such, I…

  • I’m Disappointed in how Christians Relate to Politics.

    Recently, I wrote a briefly about a concern I had regarding a defense of the Second Amendment as a right to civilian ownership of firearms.[1] I received several messages and emails regarding conversation about the second amendment. What I did not receive, that I hoped to, were comments regarding matters of our Lord, Jesus Christ,…

  • Is Criticism a God Given Right?

    Because of a conversation I had recently with someone who felt it necessary to criticize my thoughts regarding a certain subject, I thought I would challenge not only Christians, but also non-Christians, concerning the act of criticism in western culture today. Do we have a right to criticize others and to what degree? What does…

  • Where science encroaches, God is driven away.

                We hear this statement on a daily basis, though perhaps not in so many words. My question, though, is not whether or not science and Christianity contradict one another. My question is whether or not this scientific stance against religion is a relatively new stance for people to take. For…
