Probably not. I’m a conservative Christian. I voted for Trump last time and I’ll vote for him this time. But I do not believe the election was stolen and my friend and I debate it all of the time. I feel like a lot of Trump voters have blinders on when it comes to this issue. It is almost as if they weren’t there for the last 3 weeks before Election Day. First off, nobody talks about his absolutely atrocious first debate performance. It was cringe-worthy just how non-presidential and unprofessional and uncouth he was. That debate performance was 1/3 the reason he lost. How do I know this? Beca ..read more

The justifications for Black Lives Matter protests against Kid Rock and his fans illustrates perfectly why the concept of racism is not emphasized in the Bible. The godless love the concept of racism because it can be deposited in another’s soul indiscriminately, and is almost never a clear, demonstrable, visible wrong. It is not like adultery, where one can be caught in the act, but is instead a wrong grounded in invisible motives. There is no difference between saying “you are racist” and “you are evil.” It is the same accusation, the same charge. They don’t really know who is racist or no ..read more

freedom Rodi Software FREEDOM rights liberty freedom We don’t need freedom. We already have freedom. What we are seeking to gain or defend is liberty. Because liberty means to be liberated from something, while freedom speaks of autonomy and self-determination. We already have free will, and can do what we want, with or without consequence. The only right the biblical God seems concerned about is your right to act in a moral fashion. Even a slave is free to act morally. If you think about it, it explains a lot about why the Bible is not a social justice tract, because it is not meant to be ..read more

Don’t be nice. Niceness is destroying the fabric of moral society, as niceness is often in opposition to truth. Instead, be kind. Be generous. We are called to kindness, to not repaying evil with evil. Being nice is the world’s version of moral uprightness, but should not be a Christian’s. Don’t tell someone to do anything. Don’t give orders, even at work. Instead, ask them to do the task. You’ll find it will get done, anyway, and they will do a better job, at that. Whenever you tell a child that they ought to do something, also explain to them why they should do it the way that you are t ..read more

I was thinking back on all of my relationships in my twenties and early 30s. I noted a familiar pattern that held true through almost each and every single one. First, we’d date. Sometimes it was a blind date and other times we met off the internet or from a dating site. Usually we had been chatting for a few days already, usually on the phone. Finally, a date would occur. This date always played out in the same manner. It was dinner, a few drinks, and a lot of talking. An excitement was building throughout the night to a crescendo. By the end of the night my hand was in hers, usually across t ..read more

Lying awake in bed the other night, a crazy thought occurred to me, almost as if it was given to me from on high. The problem at hand was today’s youth. Why are they so woke? Why are the men so feminine? Why are they taken by socialism, by the draw of authoritarianism, by the pull of communist ideologies? And was my generation like this, too? I thought back to my generation. They call us gen-x. I don’t look back with nostalgia. I had some good times, drank all night, attended rock and heavy metal concerts, moshed in insane pits, committed petty crimes, did drugs and slept with loose stoner ch ..read more

There is no mere relationship between truth and goodness. In fact, they are one and the same thing. They are more than just siblings, but rather like spirit and soul, body and soul. Whatever is true is right. Truth is a lamplight that uncovers the future, exposes all of it as more of the same, as something not to be feared. It is just more of the same, shrouded in darkness, but still more of the same. There are no lies in goodness. Just as there is no darkness in the light. Truth and morality have become divorced today. “Niceness” is more highly valued than truth, or goodness. Goodness and nic ..read more
