What’s Wrong with In Vitro Fertilization?

     3 reasons in-vitro fertilization is intrinsically immoral and the matter of grave sin: a) It involves killing human beings. Offspring in their embryonic stage of maturity are created and destroyed (killed, or left frozen in suspended animation) as part of the process. At least 10 are killed in the attempt that one may […]... Read More

Reflection: Sexual Confusion – in Eden, and the United States

Why did the serpent in Eden set his sights on the woman instead of the man?  Nothing in this Genesis story is pure happenstance. Let us reflect, beneath the surface. In being formed from man’s side, the serpent knew the woman was the heart of humanity, Adam being its head. He sensed her gift of […]... Read More

Are most young people a lost cause, or just lost?

Although my FB posts, website blurbs, and newspaper articles pull no punches in articulating my personal take on the issues, my teaching style is very different. My approach in the college classroom is objective and Socratic, allowing students to think for themselves by following reason wherever it may lead. In philosophy classes I do not […]... Read More

Rejoice! Demonic attack is par for the course.

If you live a Christian life you will encounter the devil, and often. He arouses the ire of his unwitting followers on earth, often those who are respected as pillars of the community, and not infrequently a dissonant member of the clergy with little faith. They secretly hate truth and direct their vile at anyone […]... Read More

Are you Pro-life or Anti-abortion?

Being pro-life means more than being anti-abortion – although the terms are often used interchangeably. All human beings possess human life and are designed by God and nature to pass it on, imaging He Who Is life-giving Love. Being pro-life, therefore, means opposing all actions that intentionally vitiate life and its propagation in the natural […]... Read More

Nature vs. Ideology: Revulsion can be good as the soul’s warning to avoid evil

NATURE.  Human beings have a natural adversity to unnatural behaviors, usually taking the form of disgust or anger.  This is normal and healthy. Disgust recognizes perversion and anger seeks to right an injustice. How one chooses to respond to this natural interior reaction is the ethical question, i.e. productively or destructively. Every child and every […]... Read More

Consequence of Rejecting Reason

It is truly amazing how many people today, due to the widespread rejection of human reason, recognize only two extreme views of the world: religious fundamentalism and secular fundamentalism. When reason is rejected or ignored and truth is not believed to be objective or discernible, there necessarily exists an unbridgeable gap between revealed religion and […]... Read More

An ‘Unplanned’ Reflection

I saw Unplanned on Friday. Everyone on the fence about the morality of prenatal homicide should certainly see it. Abbey Johnson confirmed in the movie what anyone with insight already knew: the typical pattern in descending order that continues to uphold our culture of death is: 1) Fornication with one’s boyfriend 2) Abortion, out of […]...

Don’t blame the millennials for this one

New survey:  Millennials prefer socialism to capitalism Is this surprising?  It shouldn’t be.  The cultural left has been chipping away at all the facets of life that built western civilization –  through the entertainment industry, in journalism, throughout academia, and in the courts.  But its attack on heart of society is certainly the most powerful: […]...

Kraft, Sex, and Cultural Confusion

Putting aside who he is, his advanced age, and how many Superbowls his team has won (and all the positive and negative baggage that comes with that), we as a society must discern exactly why we believe that what Patriots owner Bob Kraft allegedly did was wrong. There is a conglomeration of contradicting values this […]... Read More

Is TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) a real malady?

The only rival in recent history to the hate-Trump phenomenon was the hate-Bush spectacle. With both, it was not primarily their policies that were the object of intense hatred, but rather the men themselves.  Look on the social media page of any liberal leftist and you’re bound to see it. Why the unreasonable obsession and […]... Read More

Family Feud Joins the Revolution

One of tonight’s Family Feud challenges was this: “Name something you would do immediately after divorce.” Quickly hitting the buzzer, one family member shouted out, “Have a threesome!” After the typical awkward laughter, we found that “survey said” it was the Number Two answer.   With the passage of time, fewer people now have a […]...

An acorn and oak tree: analogous to an embryo and adult

An acorn and an oak tree: Are they different beings?Let’s ponder, beneath the surface…. Contrary to what our senses and emotions may tell us, an acorn and an oak tree are actually the same being, with a considerably different look due to the difference in the stage of development. The problem with understanding this is […]... Read More

My Fellow Truth Seekers…..

We live in an age that is suffering from a crisis of truth.  The people have been fed propaganda from the two mind-molding establishments of society – the media and academia – since babyhood.  There are two general motives for manipulating minds in this way: 1) to make money off people, 2) ideological pride that […]...
