My whole apartment smells like corned beef. Amazing thing to wake up to! Today, I’ll be posting a list of links to things I’ve found around the internet, with some short commentary. First up is this bittersweet personal story about saving sex for marriage. It turns out that telling women sex is wrong their entire … More Bunch o’ Links
I have previously given my views on abortion (and contraception) in a great deal of detail, and some of that will be repeated here. This post is specifically in response to Peter Kreeft’s article of the same title. He literally asks for people to show where he has gone wrong, so I intend to do my … More The Apple Argument Against Abortion
I was trying to write about abortion when I got distracted and found this article on facebook: To the women of America: 4 reasons to hate 50 Shades of Grey Like Matt Walsh, the writer of this article, I haven’t read the book, and have no real intention to. I certainly would if the options were … More Four Reasons to Go See 50 Shades of Grey
I came across this list: “The Top 20 Bible Passages to Use Against Fundamentalists” While I was reading it, I could not help but think of exactly how a fundamentalist might respond to these arguments.

First, I state it in a rather complicated way, citing some evidence and labelling premises and … More Christianity Makes Infanticide Logical
Christians and atheists (and, I assume, people of all other beliefs) behave in ways worse than they think they should. An atheist might eat meat despite seeing vegetarianism as the moral ideal. A Christian might cheat on a spouse despite knowing from Bible and conscience that it is wrong. Both are examples of a very … More Layers of Hypocrisy
I’ve been thinking almost from the beginning of this blog that I should write a post on homosexuality, but every time I think of it, I just don’t know what to say. My opinion on gay marriage is a bit easier to articulate. I’ve heard good arguments for abolishing marriage completely, but I don’t see … More On Gay Marriage and Homosexuality
Dear people who like debating, When trying to prove your side, the burden of proof is on you, not on the person you’re debating with. Saying “Here’s my side; prove me wrong” is incorrect. . Sincerely, anonymous. ~http://dearblankpleaseblank.com/permalink.php?viewid=962245 I almost lost it when I saw that in my rss feed. (What is “it”?) See, this … More The Burden of Proof
