Which Would You Choose?
I have a hypothetical question, which could point to something very important. I will begin with four premises before stating the question. 1) There is a good chance that human beings who die before birth are with God, either in heaven or in a state of natural happiness traditionally called Limbo. 2) The sexual act […]...

Alyssa Milano is Half Right
Actress Alyssa Milano calls for a sex-strike until abortion is solidified in America. Here’s one of her quotes: “Until women have legal control over our own bodies we just cannot risk pregnancy.” Well, she’s half right, in a very wrong kind of way. The truth is that without abortion as a birth control method people […]... Read More
Mother’s Day Thought
I am a big Mother’s Day fan…. but has anyone noticed it being emphasized in the media a little more than in the past?

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
