First, there are lyrics like And I'm thinking in what a mess we're in Hard to know when to begin If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made And now every mother can choose the color of her child That's not nature's way Well that's what they |

| Commenters Sy and Beth have been debating what my point was in this post -- specifically, whether I thought John Edwards came off looking good or bad -- and have asked me to weigh in. Glad to oblige. :-) In fact, my point had very little to do with Edwards, unless he was the one that chose the questions that were asked of him. (I'm not very clear |

| Pop culture really isn't my beat. I just don't care about the kinds of things that fill the tabloids. And yet, I find the recent troubles of Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton fascinating. Not that I find their behaviors particularly surprising; no, when I say I'm fascinated, I mean I'm fascinated by our responses to their |

Many of you familiar with my previous rantings re: Left Behind, Eternal Forces can probably imagine my annoyance when I initially heard about a new game called PeaceMaker. "Oh great, another cheesy game." Yet, PeaceMaker has sparked my |

| The cover of Redbook for July has a picture of Faith Hill and a teaser "Faith and Tim: What's normal about them; what's not." Well, the question is a bit ironic given the fact that one of the things that is not normal about Faith is her cover photo. It's no suprise to me that cover-photos are photo-shopped. What is a bit more unusual |

Which is why those who arrange the violent deaths of their unborn babies, those hired to kill them, and those who encourage women to send their unwanted babies, not to adoptive parents but to an incinerator, cannot bear any criticism of |

| Martha, Thanks for passing Dr. Plantinga's explanation along. I agree wholeheartedly with what he says, but I do so mostly from the perspective of reason with a sprinkling of conventional wisdom. If anyone has actual Scripture references, though, to back up the perspective of multiculturalism as a gift, it would be even more helpful. Anyone? |

Not content with declaring all living scientists on their side, Darwinists are now turning to the past and declaring that all dead scientists were really on their side too, if they'd only known it. Thus, a writer for The New Republic, James Kirchick, states that, were Isaac Newton among us today, it's quite likely he |

| Maybe the reason my already poor typing has gotten even worse is my recent diversification. Ordinarily I don't comment often on other blogs, given that I already dribble away so much time with this one. But I found an interesting post, or more specifically an interesting nascent discussion, concerning "souls" and human embryos. You can see that |

| I'm just getting sick of the whole "atheism is a religion" crap that I seem to keep running into lately. Here's a little story for your entertainment. Once upon a time there was a land called Cardia. In Cardia, everyone played cards. Some people played blackjack, some poker, others pitch, and so forth. While many used the same 52 card deck, |
