They also … Continue reading Secular Humanism: America’s Establishment of Religion Part Two: What Is Secular Humanism?
A fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his own mind.

It is not possible to have a reasoned, intelligent discussion with someone whose opinions (beliefs) are not based on evidence and facts.

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." "And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need." … Continue reading Can Communism Be Christian?
A friend recently said, and I have heard this many times, that we as Christians should not be involved in politics. We should concentrate on giving out the Gospel.

This is not about your indiscretions which might show up in human resources. Yes, those are important, but this is about the very existence of the company you work for.

The Constitution of the United States is the political standard for America. It is written in English. It is not a living document. The words mean what they say.
