More Than a Duty; Not Less
Conservatives love to mock liberals for despising God’s word. Whether it’s the parts of the Bible that say Christ is the singular Way to salvation or the parts that condemn homosexuality or anything else that doesn’t mesh with liberal sensibilities, … Continue reading

Broadening our Arguments Against the Gender Police
Blogger’s Note: Back in May, The Federalist published a piece I wrote on the transgender issue: War is Peace; Freedom is Slaver; Men are Women. This was originally a much larger piece that I spilt into two. The wrongness of … Continue reading
The Real Tragedy of the Cincinnati Zoo
If you’ve been on the internet lately, you’ve probably heard about Harambe, a gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo. To sum it up, a 4-year-old boy got away from his mother and fell into the gorilla habitat, and zoo officials were … Continue reading

Good Parenting is so Unfair
It looks my wife and I had better be a little more judicious about our son’s bedtime stories. We wouldn’t want to confer disadvantage on every other child in the world. A recent episode of The Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s program … Continue reading

On Yoga Pants and Priorities
It seems there’s some kind of lively debate going on about yoga pants and modesty among American Evangelicals. It’s not a subject that I’ve really been invested in. On one hand, I’m more inclined to see yoga pants as slovenly … Continue reading

Sentamentalism & Leftism != Goodness
Look out, Christians; it looks like godless parents raise more liberal kids than we do. Wait… what do you mean that’s not news? But Jezebel just ran a big ‘gotcha’ story on it denouncing us. Well, they did headline it … Continue reading
On the Relevance of Male Lactation
