Men despise religion; they hate it and fear it is true. To remedy this, we must begin by showing that religion is not contrary to reason; that it is venerable, to inspire respect for it; then we must make it lovable, to make good men hope it is true; finally, we must prove it is [...]
Where it came from What the myth is What the real problem is The truth is that “overpopulation” is merely a myth. The population bomb was just a fairy tale. Aldus Huxley was wrong. The sky is not falling and the government does not need to take any drastic measures. However overpopulation continues to be [...]
A friend on Facebook posted the video above which gave rise to the following conversation: Me: I find such sermons where the underlying premise is “though you think you are saved, you MAY not be” to be absolutely deplorable and ultimately severely spiritually damaging. May God have mercy on all preachers who think they are [...]

Ellis Potter, in a talk posted by Apologetics315, made an assertion that I found to be quite helpful in explaining how Christianity is not, as Christopher Hitchens asserts; evil, totalitarian, and oppressive . All things comport to a particular form (or several related forms) and when the form one is made to conform to is [...]
Marshall McLuhan, a Canadian author who lived between 1911-1980, is widely credited at the first “media critic” whose work in dissecting the epistemological effects of the TV on society is still in use today in many classrooms (particularly the advertisement or marketing classrooms).

An atheist friend of mine is fond of reminding me that “Christians are in the majority” in America. He likes to punctuate his assertion with references to statistical data and charts like this one (courtesy of lolgod): The problem I note with such thinking is that if it were true that America were 80% Christian, [...]
In the previous post I outlined what I believe to be a fairly strong case for the age of the earth being older than 6,000-10,000 years. This was originally written to a private mailing list consisting of some of the brightest and most God-honoring people I’ve ever met or had the privilege of worshiping with. The following is a follow-up to [...]
We need to approach the potentially explosive and devicive topic of the age of the earth from two distinct standpoints if we are to make any fruitful headway.
