Humanity will never heal itself. Whenever my wife and I go back home I always find a copy of the local newspaper and flip to the opinion page. Every few months a letter is submitted by a guy who is a secular humanist. He wants people to consider why they should accept his sort of [...]

Brutal Planet
Posted: March 19, 2008 in Death, Human Nature, Jesus, Life, MusicTags: Alice Cooper, Brutal Planet, Genesis, Sin
I’ve been attending a Christian university for about three years. There are two professors that I quite enjoy that both happened to mention Alice Cooper in their lectures recently. Now that’s odd, two well respected scholars talking about Alice Cooper. Well, they had good reason to bring him up and it reminded that I’ve been [...]

Did you see the news last night? I can’t believe what they did to that guy. Actually I can’t believe the news station showed so much. It was a bit gruesome I think. But as bad as that was it’s nothing compared to what that lady did to her own kids. Or what that other [...]

I love sitcoms. Just the good ones though! I don’t have cable, so I’m limited in what shows I can watch. Lately I’ve come to like King of Queens. I came across a great conversation between Doug and a Rabbi in a recent episode. It’s about religion. The three most popular monotheist religions are Judaism, [...]

It’s a Boy! Every once in a while it hits me. I exist. I actually exist. I could just as easily have never existed, but I do. I know it sounds kinda stupid but I really appreciate existing. I like to try and think about what the world would be like without me. It’s kinda [...]
You gotta have faith.

When I first became a Christian I adopted many weird ideas. Thankfully, I’ve found some good teachers along the way that have set me straight. Faith is one of the things that I was confused about. Is faith supposed to be blind? Is it a sign of ignorance? Well, I don’t think so and I’ll [...]
The Animal Kingdom

The video below is by a band called Three Days Grace. The song is called Animal I Have Become. I discovered it by accident last summer. I was watching TV on mute with the captions on. I caught a few words of the song and thought you’ve got to be kidding! As far as I [...]
Jesus

Jesus is likely the most famous guy in history. Though Christians are the official followers of Jesus all the major religions seem to recognize him as somebody important. Even non-religious people like him. If you know a bit about Jesus then you’ll love this video. If you know nothing about him check it out anyway… [...]
The Death of Death.

Poetry used to freak me out. And it pretty much still does. I just don’t get it. I have had some really good professors that have helped me understand a few poems. Now I’ve got a lot more appreciation for poetry! I have stumbled across a few poems that I really like. They just have [...]
