There’s an extremely common misconception that the Catholic Church accepts evolution. Of course, in a sense, it does. Nothing in official Catholic teaching forbids Catholics from accepting that cats and dogs and turtles all evolved from fish. Indeed, nothing in Church teaching forbids Catholics from believing that humans evolved from ape-like ancestors. What is forbidden … More Catholicism and Evolution
One of the things I do when I find an article I think I could write a blog post about is leave that tab open on my computer. This habit helps me to remember to write about that thing, but unfortunately, I have so many tabs open and so little time I can devote to … More Matt Walsh on Sex and Transgenderism
I’ve posted before about my views on abortion, and responded to an argument against the act. All month, I’ve been trying to tackle a much harder section of the topic: late term abortions. While I think Matt Walsh is full of shit, I really sympathize with his views on this subject. I do think late … More Third Trimester Abortion
Because I would apparently rather hold baby mice than blog, I have two links about white privilege today rather than something original or at least about the topic of the blog as a whole.

So now we have 17 pets, at least until one dies unless he decides to sell or give away one of … More Vaccines, Tribalism, Goals, and Rosaries
So I found this while derping around the intertubes: See if you can guess what frustrated me. If you’re a programmer, you’ll see it pretty quick. Ready? This code won’t even compile! You can’t return false in a String method! Also, the personAtDoor variable is never instantiated! Not to mention all the code smells here, … More Why Programmers Have Interactive Development Environments
Rape is a serious problem in America. I think you’d have to be willfully blind to disagree with that statement. One reaction to this has been to automatically treat every woman who accuses a man of rape as though she must be telling the truth. This is, I think, an improvement over treating all such … More On Rape Accusations
After my previous post, I found another two articles related to the gun control issue, and I encourage you to take a look. One is by a person in Nebraska working to reduce gun casualties. An excellent goal, anyone would agree, right? Not the gun nuts of Nebraska, apparently, who like to always play the victim. … More Gun Control, Revisited
