Conversation’s a Two-Way Street – Religion and Politics
If I had to give advice to others though, I would certainly say, they ought to remember, conversation’s a two-way street. You give, and you get, if you’re not interested in both, you’ll probably have discussions that are far less fruitful.

In Defense of Repugnance – Religion and Politics
For the causes stated, I would argue that letting people hold forth when you’re able—even when what they choose to express, seems to be of no value, or is even seemingly problematic—is potentially a much more valuable thing, than you might recognize without diving a little deeper, than most are prone to. If you manage…

Christianity, Standards and Principles – Religion and Politics
It’s really pretty simple. Christians ought to support what the Bible, and the Spirit of God, tell them to. Since the two shouldn’t diverge, that should mean, calling things like homosexuality sin, refusing the idea of Christian homosexual marriage, and treating gay people, as they might anyone else in sin (which is an awful lot…

Foreign Interference – Religion and Politics
You can try to argue that question however you please, but to me, the answer is simple. They cannot compete. If they could, their model for operation would be the one winning the day. It’s just not that complex.

Identity Includes Choice – Religion and Politics
So for those who assume there’s no choice in identity, you can be assured, I disagree. Further, for those who decide some of those choices don’t work in contravention to one’s identity—and often to the definite benefit of the person with that identity—I very much suggest you consult a former drug or alcohol addict.

More on Left and Right – Religion and Politics
The point of this little article is this. Even if you could nail down what left and right, or Republican and Democrat, look like politically, how many people fit neatly on one side or the other? Are you honestely going to base your decision, on whether someone has an R, or a D behind their…
