For some strange reason, many Christians today think that environmentalism is against the gospel and of concern for the church. It bewilders me. Once, my brother in law was talking about buying land in West Virgina because he said that the land was extremely cheap. I told him to be careful where he was buying … Continue reading

“Why is holding back, showing weakness?” Jon Stewart
Why indeed? Is it not easier for us to let our temper get out of control than to suppress it? Is it not easier to lash out rather than to step back and think? This is the kind of thing that our culture is teaching our children that I fear is promoting our ridiculous amounts … Continue reading
9/11 Post. No pictures Please.
I think we’ve all seen those images enough to last a lifetime. They are burned into my mind, and I would imagine that they are burned into all of yours. Why do we need to voyeuristically review the pictures over and over? How about we focus on not letting our government tell us a lie … Continue reading
A Simple Question about Abortion
I watched this video and then I decided to do my own question asking on the subject. My family are quite conservative politically. All of them would say that abortion is murder and it should be made illegal. And since I love making things extremely uncomfortable at family gatherings, I decided to ask them a … Continue reading
Selling the Priceless
Everything has a price in this crazy world in which we live. Even life. This week I was reminded that movies like Repo men and In Time are not that far from our world. We can put a price on even your very life, and if you can’t pay; we take it from you. The … Continue reading

My Fundamentalist Christian College Tour Part 1: Modesty
When I was in high school, I attended what we called an independent, fundamental, Bible-believing Baptist church. My high school was attached to that church. I was there every single day. There was church on Sunday, school, youth activities and my parents and I were volunteer janitors every Saturday. In short, I was fully integrated … Continue reading
Save the US with Socialism
“We can’t keep socializing our losses and privatizing our profits.” – Jon Stewart Don’t get your panties in wad, I’m no socialist. I do, however, believe that it can help our country. I find myself a registered independent, rooting for the libertarians, and leaning left in the end. Why? Because I hate government. I don’t … Continue reading
Walk of No Shame
When I was in college I remember staying the night with this one guy and at about six or seven in the morning I said I was going to head back to my dorm. He asked if I was really okay doing the walk of shame. I was kind of taken aback. Shame? You guys … Continue reading
Decided Independent: I’m voting for President Obama
I am a registered independent. And I am Christian. This election I have kept every option on the table until the last couple days. I very seriously considered voting for Gary Johnson for a long time. But now I have decided that I am going to vote for President Obama. As a Christian raised in … Continue reading
