This guy forgot to mention the Salem Witch Trials and Hitler being a Catholic: #1 Submitted on 2011/02/09 at 8:18 pm I agree truth doesn’t evolve. But the subjects you talk about there are always exceptions to. We consume life,...

No value is true today that wasn’t true one thousand years ago. It’s wrong to murder now, and nothing about the way the universe progresses can make murder right. If enslaving a man for the color of his skin is...

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger coined a phrase in 2005 that I’ve thought about almost every day since he gave his address in Rome, just before he became The Pope. He said that we were moving toward a “dictatorship of relativism.” The...

My daughter will be 9 in a couple of days and her belief in Santa is at its end. She’s trying hard to believe but common sense, and her younger brother Ed [(6) who saw right through Santa from the...

I love Christmas. That said, the presents are a bit of a burden. Who to buy for? What to buy? And all of that waste. I get presents that I don’t particularly need or enjoy. But the spirit of the...

I love that my country is known throughout the world as the land of opportunity. That’s not just a statement about making money. You can’t have opportunity in a corrupt, third world hell hole with no right to property, a...

Recently I have put my mind to acknowledging miracles and looking for them in every day life. The average reader will assume I’m doing this because I’m prone to believe in miracles and they would be wrong. I look for...

I was downstairs in my basement studio, slaving away like the slave of a slave when I felt the need for a coffee. That’s normal. I go through a pot before lunch every day, so going upstairs to feed my...

A friend of mine visits the sick in hospitals. For the last few weeks, he has been spending time with a young mother and her deformed baby. This baby was born without parts of the stomach, can’t digest food, has...

You cannot live in a religiously tolerant country, unless you allow people to burn the Qur’an for religious reasons. That’s where I ended up on The Rev. Terry Jones’ silly Qur’an burning ceremony. It doesn’t matter why he wanted to...

I study the worst of God’s creation as a hobby. It could be due to my own skepticism looking for chinks in nature to see if the world really is good or not. It’s easy to look at a beautiful...

Writing comics is a blast. There’s nothing like cracking a story, playing with characters and developing ideas on the page. I get why writers write, it’s fun. Comics (and screenwriting) are unique writing mediums because they don’t require as much...

Every once in a while, I get to teach my kids from the Bible. They look at me kinda funny because I almost always read from the book of Genesis, which I consider one of the greatest books ever written....

My children asked me about what happens when we die. It’s easy to just say, “We go to heaven.” and be done with it, but even in orthodox Christianity, that’s a simplification that practically rises to the point of being...
