  • 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…

  • A Brief Philosophy of Philosophy =)

    In his knowledge, mankind has seemingly always yearned to reign supreme. He has wished to be lord over all and to be lacking in nothing. This can be seen especially as we observe man’s pursuits in philosophy. I’m not sure, though, that he realizes the implications of even the development of a philosophy.   1)…

  • 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…

  • Rational and Irrational (thinking atheist?)

    If there ever was a point at which nothing existed, then there is nothing to truly learn and education is irrelevant. This is why all intellectuals must believe in some sort of eternity; else they are living contradictions. A vast intellectual community in these modern times seems to hold fast to the idea that nothing…

  • Are You a Steve?

    Today before church, my wife and I went to Bojangles to have some supper with some friends. While we were eating, someone sitting at the table adjacent to us turned and asked us a question concerning the gospel of Christ. He classified himself as an agnostic that believed in the existence of supernatural/unexplained events. He…

  • Freedom

    Everyone wants to be free   If freedom is committing one’s self to some other thing   Then every person on the face of the globe is in slavery   Some to politics, some to religion   Some to science and others to reason   We bind ourselves in relationships and in worldviews   Making…

  • Response to Thinking Atheist: The Story of Salvation

    I recently saw this picture from Thinking Atheist on a friends wall. My first instinct was to comment on the picture that he had posted, but he has a poor history of actually thinking about things. So, as I figured my comment would make little difference, I decided (perhaps in my own ignorance) to post…

  • There is nothing scientific about it…

    Last night, at our church, we handed out candy to the neighborhood kids that were trick-or-treating. For those of you who know the neighborhood I live in: I was surprised that any parent would allow their children to trick-or-treat moving into the late hours. As I sat with my wife handing out candy, only one…
