COVID-19 and Race – Religion and Politics
Many have pointed this out, but I’m going to do it again. The larger number of deaths as a result of COVID-19 have occurred in Democrat run cities and states. Even if you made the argument that blacks or Hispanics were disproportionately affected, and that it was a result of some sort of systemic bias…

The Separation of Concerns – Religion and Politics
We need to fix the current reality, that branches of government are meddling in domains in which they don’t belong. That’s clear. The how is not something I think any single individual will be able to answer; though there are undoubtedly many more qualified than am I. One way or another though, what’s happening at…

Observing the Transition – Religion and Politics
The few public examples of Left-leaning people moving to more Conservative vantage points, is heartening, but it’s often a slow, steady process. I believe they’re far from alone in that transition. I can’t say how many others are headed down that same traffic way—whether it’s a one lane road, or a six lane freeway—but I’m…

Wearing Masks – Religion and Politics
Nobody in his or her right mind made the argument that the disease would cease to be as a result of the measures in place. That’s not just true for COVID-19. Like it or not, the reason ‘flu shots have any efficacy at all—and I should say it’s pretty questionable they’re anything but hit-or-miss, but…

Even though that’s true though, continuing to argue things like systemic racism and massive law enforcement corruption based on a few cases that don’t tend to end as originally advertised is neither helpful, nor more importantly, correct. Please don’t perpetuate bad…

Asking the Right Questions – Religion and Politics
Do you feel like you’re always making the wrong choices? Does it seem like you regularly miss critical things? How many times a day do you say, “I wish I had done this or that.”? Perhaps it’s time to start stepping back a pace or two and asking the right questions. I know that’s often…

Ending X – Religion and Politics
That said, I want to make it plain. Bad things will happen. You can try to stop them through a variety of mechanisms—in fact, I recommend you try to do so—but you’ll never see them entirely cease. Keep up the work of bringing to a minimum those bad things wherever possible. Realize though that the…

Why Socialism and Communism Fail – Religion And Politics
Put another way, most folks would rather go to work for someone or someones else, collect a paycheck, and walk way clean at the end of the day. There may be a dream of owning an endeavor, but most are really not inclined to make that happen—even when you make it a comparatively easy thing…
