Secular Humanism: America’s Establishment of Religion Part Three: What Are the Beliefs of Secular Humanism?

While Secular Humanism or Secularism has many beliefs, there are some core beliefs. These Fundamentals are written down in their Authoritative documents such as the Humanist Manifestos I, II and III and A Secular Humanist Declaration by CODESH (Council for Democratic Secular Humanism) co-authored by Paul Kurtz and Edwin H.

Secular Humanism: America’s Establishment of Religion Part Two: What Is Secular Humanism?

The quick, simple answer is that it is the religion of self-indulgence with no possible consequences for the way we live in any kind of life after death. Beginning somewhere around the Kennedy administration, Secular Humanists learned that if they lied and claimed that they weren’t a religion, they could get federal funds. They also … Continue reading Secular Humanism: America’s Establishment of Religion Part Two: What Is Secular Humanism?

Secular Humanism: America’s Establishment of Religion Part One: What is an Establishment of Religion?

A fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his own mind. Proverbs 18:2 NASB When I discuss this topic on Facebook with secularists, it is almost impossible to get them to actually read what I post. They rapid-fire back a response based on the first few lines. Not only is their comment … Continue reading Secular Humanism: America’s Establishment of Religion Part One: What is an Establishment of Religion?

What Is Your Authority?

Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to nor take away from it. Deuteronomy 12:32 If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead. Luke 16:31 The Scriptures Cannot Be Broken.

Do Not Be Deceived

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. James 1:16 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.” 1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, … Continue reading Do Not Be Deceived

Book review of The Genius of Ancient Man — general editor Don Landis

This is a much-needed topic with little published research. I not only read, but also reread this book several times. I wanted to give this book the highest praise possible. It is both well-written and well-documented and I can recommend it without reservations. The ebook format has some problems, though I was able to get … Continue reading Book review of The Genius of Ancient Man — general editor Don Landis

AntiScience

"So what evidence would you accept to prove that the Earth is millions of years old?" an atheist asked me on Christmas day. It is not possible to have a reasoned, intelligent discussion with someone whose opinions (beliefs) are not based on evidence and facts. The question changes facts and evidence into a matter of … Continue reading AntiScience

What Is the Church?

A fellow believer said in effect that Christianity does not really allow for political activism. Others have said we should agree to disagree when it comes to beliefs about the nature of the church. We can disagree whether there should be pews, or instruments, or five hour services, or only professional singers. But the church … Continue reading What Is the Church?

What Is an American Christian’s Political Responsibility?

Voters need to exercise Christian principles and vote for candidates who demonstrate Christian principles. Notice that I use the term Christian principles, not Christianity, so this doesn't mean to base support on whether the candidate claims to be Christian. For instance, Jimmy Carter claims to be a Christian, but he did not govern according to … Continue reading What Is an American Christian’s Political Responsibility?

So What Are America’s Founding Documents?

A Liberal believes that America's Founding Documents are the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence. A few Liberals might add the state Constitutions from that time. Whatever limited number of documents they choose to acknowledge, liberals insist that these documents need to be interpreted. They might not mean what they "seem to" or "appear to" … Continue reading So What Are America’s Founding Documents?

Can Communism Be Christian?

I cannot begin to count the number of times someone has pointed me to the book of Acts and the early Church as support for "Christian Communism."
