The Sacrifice of Truth to Power

Looks like at least some of Europe is not under the spell of The One. I wonder if it will really be this bad. There sure is the potential for it. I have to remember that God is in control and am very thankful for that. I’d go nuts otherwise.

Get ready for socialism!

Or vote against it on November 4. Looks like more evidence crept up displaying Obama as a socialist, as if more evidence was needed, on WorldNetDaily.com and Doug Groothuis’ Constructive Curmudgeon. How can people be so blind? Lost people, sure, but Christians?

No progress for pro-lifers?

One argument I hear quite often is that since there was no legislative progress against abortion under the Republican government, and since abortions haven’t decreased, it’s okay to vote for Obama. Besides this being a really lame and stupid argument (”Oh I know slavery is bad, but since there has been no progress to make it illegal in the last 30 years, I will vote for the guy who gives it every legal protection possible. We will then educate the white man to bring down the number of slaves he owns.”), it’s also false. You are subscribed to the Public Discourse, no?

The Public Discourse meets Lame Abortion Arguments

Another well-written article from The Public Discourse. If you aren’t checking it periodically, you should; and shame on you for not doing so already.

Hope I am okay posting these here. Got them from townhall.com.

Lame abortion arguments

From the Way of the Master guys. Brilliant :)

Obama and Infanticide

Literary gold coming out of The Public Discourse by the Witherspoon Institute (still waiting for the RSS feed so I don’t have to manually check it). This one is on Obama and Infanticide.

I can’t help but picture my newborn son every time I hear of babies left to die in some closet, and it makes me want to cry. How can anyone be so hard-hearted? I pray this guy won’t make it into the White House.

Business ethics and greed

Another article by the Witherspoon Institute. This one is especially interesting if read with the backdrop of how much government involvement is beneficial, desired, and biblical. I will have to do some more reading on the role that the Bible attributes to government. Hope it makes you think, too.

As a side note, the Public Discourse website by the Witherspoon Institute seems to be pretty new, but I am looking forward to reading more from them. Hope they add RSS feeds soon.

Can we know Truth?

Yes, we can. For more info, here’s the paper entitled “Can we know Truth?” that I presented at the Roundtable of Ideology this year. Its intended audience is Christians, so I presuppose a certain degree of agreement with some of the points I make. Keep that in mind if you’re not a Christian and would like to read it.
