When I was a child, I loved Christmas. And one of the biggest reasons was that Santa Claus was coming to town! ... Or, so I believed. My parents, like so many others, lied to me about the existence of Santa. And when I discovered the truth, the magic of Christmas was lost. That feeling that [...]
Yes, you read the title correctly. God is a narcissist. I fully affirm that God is completely and utterly self-absorbed with Himself, and we can accurately describe this as narcissism. According to Greek mythology, Narcissus was so enamored with himself that he stared into a pool of water until he died. Because of this story, we [...]
When bigots or racists or homophobes act according to their bigoted, racist, or homophobic thoughts, inevitably someone comes along and says, "They're just ignorant." Wherefore, naturally, I wonder: Ignorant of what? Do not get me wrong, there are bigots, racists, and homophobes out there. Many of them are probably ignorant of a whole variety of [...]

Academics do not care where truth originates. If an English neuroscientist presents evidence and makes convincing arguments, he will be referenced by other writers. If a German philosopher publishes an incredibly detailed and persuasive argument for God, other philosophers will take notice.

Who cares about the Constitution? Of course, this is a hyperbolic rhetorical question. Let's be serious, now. Why does the Constitution even matter? American conservatives have a tendency to act as if the United States Constitution is the Word of God, divinely given to our forefathers who created this blessed nation we call America. It [...]
As a Christian single, I (a man) am fully aware of the struggles Christians have in the dating game. It is hard. It is not easy. And I think everyone would agree that it is not all that fun. One of the reasons for the dating game being so difficult is because of the climate [...]
