So a certain Mr. Osler wrote a wonderful piece for CNN entitled My Take: The Christian case for gay marriage. I take mild issue with it. Just to warn ye secular-fantastics, I know the Bible’s all ridiculous and sexist and fake and even if it’s not it’s old and has stuff like violence in it so why bother a discussion about it plus there’s no God. However, this is a conversation that makes the [idiotic] assumption that Sacred Scripture is sacred.... Read more
You thought I was gonna depress you but then my school made me happy and BAM I DREW ERRBODY A PICTURE! For my letters to Mr. Obama concerning the mandate go here and here. For why artificial contraception is the whackest, go here. Also, thanks for having me out to speak, everybody from Cincinnati’s Theology on Tap! The Avengers was awesome, even if Loki was right, and I hope to see you again. Read more
Thank you so much for the comments on my last post. They helped me realize two things: 1. The evil of the modern world is ripped out of the realm of abstraction and into reality by the fact of parenthood. Everyone who was truly concerned about the Culture Wars — and thus could not understand my quiz — spoke of concern for their children. Such an attitude makes complete sense: The fact of a child under your protection forces the... Read more
You won’t like this post. Don’t blame me, blame him: “A passionate, tumultuous age will overthrow everything, pull everything down; but [the present age] that is at the same time reflective and passionless, transforms that expression of strength into a feat of dialectics: it leaves everything standing but cunningly empties it of significance.” — Soren Kierkegaard, The Present Age Don’t tell the evil, godless heathens, but Christians today are only pretending to be “offended!” by the state of the world,...

Now what Chesterton said is true, that “the atheist is not interested in anything except attacks on atheism.” Thus my last post, 3 Arguments Atheists Aren’t Allowed To Use Anymore, attracted the beautiful and educated eyes of a certain Mr. Mehta, who contributes to The Friendly Atheist. Whether he really is friendly is a thing I’m unsure about, for the word “friend” is derived from the Old English freond, “to love,” and to love is to desire the ultimate good of the... Read more
If you think these are days in which women are objectified, well, you’d be right. The crown jewel of evolution is used to sell cars. But women have nothing — infinitesimally small potatoes, really — on the ridiculous amount of objectification and abstraction heaped upon men with same-sex attraction. Let’s break it down. First, we’ve got the names we call these gentlemen. If the names come spewing forth from the homophobe, the objectification is obvious: Faggot, queer, fruit — all these terms are... Read more
I mean you can, but you’ll look dumb. 1. Babies Are Atheists The argument goes like this: Babies aren’t born with any pre-conceived notion of religion, God, or the supernatural world. These falsehoods are forced upon the child’s innocent, atheistic mind by his parents. All religion is indoctrination — there’s nothing inherent or natural about it. This is an argument heavily promoted by the whole RELIGION IS CHILD ABUSE crowd, which has always made me think, “Dang, I can’t wait to abuse... Read more
There are two ways to end small talk: 1. Stop mid-sentence, flap your arms, and scream like a Nazgul. 2. Mention that Christianity is the only existing worldview with a satisfying answer to the mystery of why we suffer. Both methods result in all present diving under bushes and shaking in horrible conniptions, strangely tempted to put on a ring of power and kill you. But, in the words of St. Augustine, let dem haters hate. Nothing but the God-Man satisfies... Read more
(Potentially.) Dear errbody! This might give away a huge chunk of my Super Secret Illuminati Funded Project, but I have a request of all my wonderful readers: Would any couples who have converted from a contraceptive lifestyle to the wonderful world of NFP like to share their story? Or single people who use something like the Creighton MODEL for medical purposes? I’m looking for answers to the following questions: What made you want to switch? What have been the benefits...

I’ve been spending way too much time chilling with the jolly old atheists. Anyways, they’re pretty fantastic at calling out Christians for their cruelty to the gay community. So I made them all a picture. Also, As Tall as Lions have a sweet song and it sounds pretty atheistic so I thought I’d share. Read more
