    Gross negligence or gross incompetence: Navy ships sitting idle?

    The ships are not there to take care of people with COVID19, but handle hospital overflow. But, shocker, fewer people are out doing things that require urgent care because they're all shut up in their homes and apartments...maybe they should put counselors on them instead.

    Covid19 and Russia

    I guess I don't know much about Chinese food logistics, but I live in New England right now and regularly eat produce from Florida and California. It doesn't seem implausible that somebody loaded a bunch of bats on a truck to go 900 miles to where folks would buy them.

    Covid19 and Russia

    My guess is they're just not testing for it. Their healthcare system is no better than it was under communism and Russians are famous for taking hardship on the nose for a time and moving on. This "escaped bio weapon" theory is nonsense. I'd be more likely to believe it if we had a superstrain...

    Young Adults: Church Cannot Answer Their Questions

    Nancy Pearcey's Finding Truth is essential reading for every Christian parenting a teenager right now. It addresses this very topic in an easy-to-read format.

    Coffee, tea or smoothie

    Yes, but it must have certain additives. Otherwise, it isn't truly Irish or manly.

    Want to beat the coronavirus? Reopen America now

    Thomas Sowell often says, "There are no solutions, there are only trade-offs." Too many people think in terms of zero-sum. Keep businesses open and most people will surely die of the disease. But what of the death caused by economic depression with all its stressors? There are some...

    Civil war coming to America?

    So true. If only more people were oriented toward true justice and not "social justice."

    I remember that! Wasn't it in Colorado Springs?

    Trump thanks armed congregants for stopping ‘crazed church shooter’ in Texas

    Trump is by no means the ideal statesman, but our culture is in no shape to produce one at the national level. But his sentiments regarding the liberty to worship and bear arms are good enough to earn my vote. I'll take it!

    Can atheists be happy?

    Yeah, that's the long and short of it.

    Can atheists be happy?

    Eh. I guess a Marxian could be a true blue atheist. More of your typical militant Atheists would claim this is a form of "state atheism" and therefore invalid. Which I suppose is fair as far as it goes, but they don't give Christians the same rhetorical luxury when they slap us with "wars of...

    Can atheists be happy?

    The afterlife of an atheist is not a question mark. They're going to Hell. I won't go into details out of respect from an atheist I once cared a great deal for. But they have said some of the most miserable things my ears have ever caught because they have severed themselves from any hope of...

    Would you marry a Calvinist?

    I know your question is a joke, but I'll humor it some more. Pagan just describes a religious view- a pagan would identify himself as a pagan. "Heathen" is more of a pejorative.
