Law and a Living Wage – Religion and Politics
You may think the idea of a government mandated minimum or living wage is reasonable. As for me, I don’t. You can see from what I’ve said in this article why that’s the case. Do you have ideas to make things “better?” I’d be willing to hear them. Keep in mind though, I’ve heard more…

An Informed Electorate – Religion and Politics
Do you think things are bad politically at present? Are you concerned about the direction in which America appears to be headed? If we don’t strongly grab hold of knowing who’s running, as well as history and the meat and potatoes of political ideologies, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

COVID-19 – By the Numbers – Religion and Politics
Considering the data cited, I really have to question the current responses to COVID-19. Am I truly alone in having a reaction like this, or is it far more common than typically gets reported?

On The House – Religion and Politics
For my part, I think we’ve become confused. To begin with, at no point did the government of the U.S. or any of its subordinate entities become responsible for cradle-to-grave care of its citizens. On top of that, despotism is about taking control, can people honestly not see that’s what folks in government are currently…

Misdirection – Religion and Politics
Summing up. Directing somebody to a given conclusion or position is totally fine. Misdirecting folks to the perspectives you desire them to hold though, is not. If you don’t think there’s an issue with the idea that an organization essentially usurps the words you wish others to support, you need to come to realize that…

Police Reform – Religion and Politics
Can various law enforcement entities change the way they operate, and do so for the better? They not only like can, but are daily in the process of doing so without anybody pushing for that from outside their ranks. Will reducing their funding aid that process? Would you expect doing that to work if you…

Income Inequality – Religion and Politics
The basic point of this little writing is, the argument ought not to be “defunding the rich.” It ought rather to be, making sure that Americans are able to get jobs or find ways to make a living, that give them enough income to be happy with their lot.

Consequences – Religion and Politics
Did your parents ever say to you, “Make good choices!”? You should understand how wise a thing this was for them to utter, considering its simplicity. The result may not always be good, but most of the time, you can bet it will be. As stated, the converse is also true. Make bad choices, and…

Why Electoral College – Religion and Politics
In the end though, I hope you understand why it’s important for the electoral college to stay in place. If not, allow me to try to condense things. If you live in Arkansas or Idaho, even with electoral college, your vote barely counts, what little it hits the scoreboard now, would cease to be without…

Police Versus Rioters – Religion and Politics
I’m willing to hear that law enforcement is acting badly when it occurs. I’m even willing to say it’s institutional or systemic when it is—something I don’t see as a rule. Are you willing to find fault with looters, rioters and protesters? I certainly hope so.
