For what seems like an eternity, Christians have debated the issue of creationism vs. evolution and it doesn’t seem like we’re any closer to a resolution. Until now. As I was sitting in the church which hosted my wife’s commencement ceremony for medical school, I discovered that one of the church’s parishioners has solved this aged old debate. It was so simple. Why didn’t we see it?! All we needed to do to end the debate was rip... Read more

    First off, apologies for no new posts the past couple of days. As it turns out, time and electricity are important components of blogging, neither of which I had access to as I was driving from Tennessee to Connecticut, moving into our new place in Connecticut, then driving back yesterday to Tennessee. Fun times. But I’m back now, at least for a few days, and I’ve found a story I think you’ll find amusing. While technically this story... Read more

    In the past, theology was relegated almost exclusively to the realm of academia. Men of means (and only men), who could afford an education, devoted themselves to rigorous academic study of the faith. Their insights shaped everything that everyone in the church believed, from the Pope all the way down to the common, illiterate farmer. Like that farmer, your average person in those days could neither read nor write. Even if you put a Bible in front of... Read more

    I love N.T. Wright. Then again, who doesn’t? Hating N.T. Wright is like hating puppies, a rainbow, or cookies. If you don’t like the guy, then there’s probably something wrong with you, not him. Anyway, enough of the N.T. Wright lovefest. Here’s a great interview with him from Religion News Service about his view of heaven and how most of us don’t really understand what heaven is all about. N.T. Wright asks: Have we gotten heaven all wrong? John... Read more

    As Christians we talk a lot about being like Jesus. Well, now you can actually be Jesus! Sort of. A company called Lightside Games has created a game for Facebook called “Journey of Jesus: The Calling” in which “players travel with Jesus through the Gospels, exploring the world of the Holy Land in that day. From the politics and history, gamers can get an education along the way. They must work together with friends to crate a community... Read more

    This morning God answered my prayer. Literally. My wife and I have been praying for a while that we will find a renter for our home in Memphis before we end up in a situation where we’re stuck paying two mortgages. So, every time we pray for a meal, before we go to bed, or even sometimes when we’re just driving in the car we pray that God will sent potential renters our way. Well, this morning God... Read more

    Recently, Vanderbilt University, in their ongoing attempt to summit the height of political correctness, created a policy that forbids school sanctioned campus organizations from excluding members who do not share their particular set of beliefs. So, for example, should an atheist inexplicably decide to join and run for office in a group like Fellowship of Christian Athletes, then according to campus policy they would have to allow that person, who holds views contrary to their own, to potentially... Read more

    Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past week, then you know about President Obama’s groundbreaking announcement that he supports gay marriage. Well, naturally William Tapley, aka The Third Eagle of the Apocalypse, aka the Co-Prophet of the End Times, decided that he needed to weigh in on the subject. According to Tapley, Obama’s support of gay marriage stems from a past, possibly incestuous, “homosexual encounter” which Tapley claims Obama describes in his poem “Pop”. Because obviously... Read more

    A few years ago there were billboards that popped up all over the place that purported to be quotes from God. Remember these?   Well, apparently Satan is now the one renting billboard space. (via) My only question is: when are Buddha, Allah, and Vishnu going to get their act together and start putting up their own billboards?! Read more
