  • Give up contempt for Lent

    Give up contempt for Lent

    I wonder if one thing we all might strive to give up this Lent is contempt. It’s the conviction that while your side “is driven by benevolence,” the other side “is evil and motivated by hatred.”

  • Can science explain everything?

    Can science explain everything?

    Stripping symbols of religious content: The Bladensburg Cross and the Supreme Court

    Millennials and evangelism: The plague of emotivism

    What is meant by “knowing Jesus” by so many Christians is closer to “I love Swiss Almond Vanilla ice cream” than it is what the Apostles meant by it. It indicates a strong preference, but not a life-altering conviction.

    Genetically-modified humans are fine as long as you kill them?

    So, given that we really can’t distinguish between the motives of the two projects, why was Dr. He vilified by the entire scientific world while Dr. Egli is not? Why did Dr. He lose his job, while Dr. Egli is enjoying puff-piece interviews by NPR?
