I know there are many such types; I see them often. It was a meme, an anti-Christian meme. Sitting prominent center was a little church with its large steeple ablaze from a lightning strike. Text on the image said something to the effect of: “Either your God is mad at you or you’re worshiping the […]
Pandemic. Worldwide epidemic. COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2. 2019-nCoV. Where is God in this time of mass viral outbreak? If God is all loving, all good and all powerful, why does he permit pain, evil, suffering and death? This is not the first time we’ve had to think about this question. How many of us have lost a […]
One dark night, your neighbor steals apples from a local orchard. The next morning, the same neighbor is out and about screaming and crying that you, you stole apples from the local orchard! To add insult to injury, he is screaming and crying all this as he is munching on one of those apples from […]
The stories are almost all the same, the hero versus the villain. There’s an opening setting, conflict, rising action, tense climax and finally a conclusion. The protagonist is in battle with the antagonist. The stories of Bond, James Bond, are no different. Adventure, action and intrigue mark his life. He keeps his cool but he’s […]
There are at least three subject areas that societies around the globe and throughout history have excelled at: mathematics, philosophy and technology. I can think of examples like indigenous Central-South Americans, various Asian populations and the Greco-Roman world.

Since I’m on the college campus quite often, I intentionally try to interact with students on worldview and religion. The average student seems to be religious, but in a strange way. Their religion seems to be a hodgepodge of worldviews. For example, a guy once told me the universe and all of life was created […]
Almost exactly 46 years after Roe v. Wade, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill legalizing many late term abortions. To celebrate the law, he had landmarks, such as the World Trade Center memorial, lit with pink light. Sarah Cleveland, a “nationally registered ultrasound tech specializing in OB/GYN with 15+ years experience”, says no […]
We all know the picturesque Plimoth Plantation tale of celebration, thanksgiving and feasting after struggle, hard work and survival. While true in one sense, an often ignored and sinister angle emerges from history’s pages: a problem and a failed solution. A problem similar throughout the ages, a failed solution we are attempting to emulate today. […]
During the Q&A segment at one of my university campus talks, someone challenged a point I made during my presentation.
