I’ve been thinking about some things that I have not yet figured out how to articulate in a way I think is sufficient. That never stopped me before so here goes:
We all know we (I’m speaking to Christians here) don’t believe in Karma. We talk about grace all the time as a gift that we [...]
Hector’s wife is named Andromache. Doesn’t that mean “man-war”? Gotta be significant.

OK, the CDC honchos and the authors of this study you referenced are in hysterics because the obesity rate, so-called, has roughly doubled in the last 30 years. But let’s consider what that actually means.
Obesity is defined completely arbitrarily as a body mass index of 30 or higher (175 pounds for an average height woman). [...]
Sat in a restaurant last night for the first time in a long time. But it felt different than many times before. Sitting there chitchatting with wife and kids, It finally dawned on me: I wasn’t feeling stressed. For the first time in a much longer time, I didn’t feel bad about the money. I [...]
Rich people’s crimes – from bribery, to fraud, to falsification, to plagiarism, to financial chicanery – always find defenders who will tell you there’s nothing really so bad about them.
But let some kid in the ghetto pinch a trinket from a store on Christmas eve, then the same people will thunder on about antisocial behavior, [...]
First, expect fewer ethics complaints. Some Alaskans made a cause out of filing complaints against Gov. Palin and then trumpeting them for all who would listen — a violation of state law. Several of those complaints had merit. Most squandered time, money and trust in the public process. It’s unlikely Gov. Parnell will be the [...]

The fact that people get morally outraged at Bush-Cheney for a program that never actually did what needed be done–kill terrorists–while Obama continues to bomb families and kill civilians with bombs, pretty much exemplifies the moral perversity and [...]

Palin came to office with some specific goals, some of which she has accomplished outright, others which she has advanced appreciably along the spectrum from inception to completion. The Petroleum Profits Tax revisions were passed in time to help Alaskans reap unprecedented financial gains from our most marketable natural resource, and also in the wake [...]
“Yes, she manages to write about the climate change action in Congress without ever mentioning the reason we are doing this in the first place,” Mr. Kerry wrote. “It’s like complaining about the cost of repairing a roof without factoring in the leaks destroying your home.”

I should not be surprised at anything anymore regarding how Sarah Palin is treated, but I am. What a crock!

I haven’t been tracking anything because it bores me, largely for the reasons mentioned below. This statement struck me as pretty insightful.
Sotomayor is not going to rend the fabric of the nation. That´s already been done. She´ll probably go along in that muddled way that passes for being a ‘thoughtful´justice.
And that´s as it should be.

Isaiah 2.2-3:
It shall come to pass in the latter days
that the mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
and shall be lifted up above the hills;
and all the nations shall flow to it,
3 and many peoples shall come, and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of [...]
When I read Calvin’s massive Institutes of the Christian Religion and other writings, I read a false gospel. The Calvinists often rush to explain that we just don’t understand Calvin or that we’re wrongly interpreting him. I didn’t get the Calvin code book, I guess, because he seems very clear to me, clearly [...]
“To think that we would not do strategic work within the fusion center is to say that it’s okay to commit certain acts of violence,” said Cole County Sheriff Greg White.

Unbelievable. Acts of violence have been illegal for all of [...]
Socrates said, “Know thyself,” but Biblical religion tells us that we cannot know ourselves. We cannot walk by sight and must walk by faith. Only God can understand human beings, and we must trust Him. To be sure, in a way we can come to know ourselves, but only as we know God. But [...]
Doug Wilson responding to R. Scott Clark.
I happen to be a Reformed Christian in my doctrinal beliefs, and worship. So I’m going to say something that will sound horribly arrogant. I think the Reformed Churches rule the world. They really do. The world moves in response to our actions, decisions, and traditions. I don’t mean [...]
The URCNA FV Study Committee Report has just been published. It’s a thorough and substantial report which, as to be expected, has some excellent statements. There are, however, several features of the report which concern me and these I would like to enumerate and address on my blog.
Why do I care about this report? For [...]
