Neither Side Gets It! C-Span recently aired a debate hosted by the CATO institute – “Religious Freedom and Anti-Discrimination Law” – regarding Colorado bringing its force to bear on baker Jack Phillips who refused to do a same-sex “wedding” cake. Ilya Shapiro of the CATO Institute elegantly defended freedom of religion and freedom of speech. John Paul Schnapper-Casteras of the NAACP, made numerous references to Piggy Park, a restaurant that discriminated against “blacks.” Schnapper-Casteras was trying to “piggy back” onto…..
Most of us have heard about the recent incident of Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos not getting to speak at the University of California-Berkeley because of rioting by the students in a successful attempt to shut down free speech.1 Yiannopoulos even describes how students inviting him are forced to pay for security. This is nuts. I of course am a Bible believing Christian and maintain that homosexuality is a sin that needs to be repented of, just as I need to…..
I think most of us are familiar with the “There’s good news and bad news.” That is what I was thinking when I was looking at the stories on Bing on Thursday. I will start out with the bad news. The bad news is Vermont’s woman’s basketball team cancelled a scheduled game against the University of North Carolina.1 They canceled it is because North Carolina has enough sense to know that men should use men’s restrooms and locker rooms and…..
I just happened to run across this one article on the internet – “Does Honey Really Last Forever?”1 It is on a site called Ziobits under “Fun Facts.” The article explains how the honey dries out bacteria because of its very low water content and high sugar content. Bees make honey to last a long time. The article had some interesting information. But this is what I took note of. The article stated: “Since bees need to eat during…..
Dear Jonathan, I saw a story by David Cawton of Time Warner Cable News on the Texas Religious Liberty Bills being proposed. Chris Wallace, President of Texas Association of Business, stated “Poll after Poll, survey after survey show that millennials do not want to be in a state that is unwelcoming of all people.” Conversely, you were defending the Texas Religious Liberty Bills.1 Jonathan, you need to know something about me. I volunteered at the San Antonio Pregnancy Care Center…..
Taking Tuesday off, I saw this show on the Science Channel called Strip the Cosmos. Suspecting what it would be, I watched some of it and sure enough I was right. The episode that I watched was called “Alien Worlds.” It was filled with philosophical materialism (the belief that matter and energy are all that exist) guised as science. They were explaining how life could exist elsewhere. The whole point of this is to show that life is something that…..
Recent terrorist attacks on Paris and San Bernardino have reawakened fears of Islamic terrorism. After September 11, 2001, when the terrorists brought down four planes, the World Trade Center and also hit the Pentagon, the song “God Bless America” became very popular again. And I, as much as anyone, want God to bless America. My son is only eight years old and for his sake I want God to bless America. But you have to ask yourself: Why Should He?…..
Genesis 5:1-2 states “This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created.”1 This is a short text. But what a person believes about this text will affect their world view entirely. First and foremost, the text tells us that we are not evolved from some apelike…..
On August 28, 2015, a Harris County Deputy Sheriff was shot multiple times in the back. The “Black Lives Matter” campaign is being blamed for much of the recent violence against police.1 From what I have been able to ascertain, the accused murderer, Shannon J. Miles, a 30-year old man, lived at home with his mother.2 Evidently his father was not a part of the picture. Once again, I can see how our problems as a society would mostly go…..
Dan Quayle never really was given much of a chance. I will admit during the 1988 Vice-Presidential debate, he did not handle the question of what he would do as president very well. He should have just answered the question – saying he would work on cutting spending, promoting free trade, working out an arms deal with the Soviets, or whatever his agenda would be. He instead kept explaining why he was qualified to be president. Then there was…..
