…has a new book out (complete with Imprimatur and everything!) called Faith with Good Reason: This book is a practical look at faith, reason and problem solving for dealing with the common realities we face, navigating the gaps between what we know and what we don’t—for all things visible and invisible. Thinking means linking ideas. Analytical problem solving is about finding “truth” objectively, regardless of feelings, strong opinions, past experiences or intuition; finding truth even when empirical evidence is lacking... Read more

Seven individuals were killed in London by radical jihadists on Saturday, an event that has dominated headlines and occupied most of our president’s Twitter feed. BUT, one week before the London incident, EIGHT people in the U.S. were killed by a single shooter who was angry at his estranged wife in Bogue Chitto, Mississippi. Willie Cory Godbolt was arguing with his wife about custody of their two children. Godbolt shot and killed a sheriff’s deputy, three of his wife’s relatives... Read more

Hopefully, saner heads will prevail... Read more

…never sneer at “terror hysteria”. I’m seeing calls on my Facebook page to be “proactive” and start rounding up all Muslims since the London attack. Likewise, lots of cries for the Brits to adopt a “second amendment” solution and arm themselves.  All this is only ginned up by the disgusting spectacle of our Bully-in-Chief taking the occasion of a tragedy to take a leak in the face of our biggest ally in the wake of this attack. Ahem. Some perspective:... Read more

For those who think of prayer as a game of “Simon says” and who think the pope somehow a heretic for asking people of different traditions to pray for peace, consider Aslan’s words to Emeth, a sincere worshipper of the false god Tash in C.S. Lewis’ The Last Battle, who is amazed to find himself in heaven and shocked to discover that Aslan, whom he had been taught was evil, was the Beautiful One he had sought all his honorable... Read more
