The Washington Post Is Super Confused About Where Babies Come From
“Do you agree with the consensus of scientists that say that human life begins at conception?” I’d like to see someone ask that question.
The thing is that activists can redefine pregnancy all they want and it won’t change the central issue at hand — the question of whether it’s ok to end the life of a genetically distinct human. We won’t resolve that debate any time soon, but obscuring the facts on when and how human life begins... Continue Reading
Five Things You Need to Know About Faith in China
Nothing has caused more upheaval in the last hundred years of Chinese history than the battle over what to believe
“The house churches are not legally protected, so authorities can tolerate them one day and shut them down the next, if political orders came down to tighten up. The Party is under increasing pressure to change the way it regards the desire for faith; China today has sixty to eighty million Christians, a community as... Continue Reading
Judge Silences Pro-Life Criticism of the NAACP
A U.S. district court judge sided with the NAACP in a trademark case against an African-American pro-life leader who parodied the group’s name

TV show or not, David Benham and his brother stand for biblical values and won’t back down
What really happened here was when we were announced in New York City at the upfront—our show was announced, we weren’t in attendance, but our show was announced—that’s when the Right Wing Watch and GLAAD (formerly the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) decided we’re going to go on a smear campaign and try to...

The Lost Girls
Boko Haram’s horrific kidnapping of Nigerian schoolgirls is one part of a wider campaign to obliterate Christians
Boko Haram’s campaign against Christians dates back to at least 2005, when the group began kidnapping pastors. In 2009, militants beheaded Nigerian pastor George Ojih after he refused to convert to Islam. The years that followed brought more attacks on government buildings, schools, and churches, and more executions of Christians, particularly men with large families.... Continue Reading
Fighting For The World’s Original Christians
Religious leaders band together to support believers in Egypt, Iraq, and Syria
Christians form the largest non-Muslim religious minority in the Middle East, totaling about 15 million.

The Queen’s New Clothes
Immanuel Kant announced that metaphysics, once queen of the sciences, had been dethroned; it was banished for having unlawfully tasted the fruit of the tree of knowledge, making room for scientific knowledge
The problem with trying to eliminate metaphysics from science is that, as the French philosopher Émile Meyerson argued a century ago, history never exhibits such a tidy distinction between “metaphysics” and “science.” Newton invoked divine intervention to explain his concept of an invisible force acting instantaneously across great distances, considered space to be an attribute...

A Beta Parent Manifesto
Beta parents don't hide Vitamin A-rich pumpkin purée in the pancakes, nor do they make "cupcakes" out of cantaloupe with "frosting" made of beet-based food coloring and Greek yogurt
Contrary to what you might read, there are parents out there who don’t hire bilingual nannies or fall to pieces when their kids brush up against a non-organic toy. Let’s call them Beta Parents. I am one of them. I let things slide. My kid eats floor food. Sometimes we go an entire week without... Continue Reading
Christians Kicked Off HGTV For Their Faith
Twins Jason and David Benham found out recently their pro-life and pro-family values aren’t welcome at HGTV
The Benham’s experience is the latest attack on Christians living their faith in public. Why HGTV hired them from the start isn’t clear, since living the gospel is an explicit part of the Benhams’ business.
