Israel Folau, Unlikely Martyr
Rugby may be unfamiliar to American readers, but the basic dynamics of this narrative are not.
Folau plays at number 15 for the Australian national team and Australia is a country which takes its rugby very seriously. But Folau now finds himself in trouble for a number of “homophobic” tweets and social media posts, some of which are little more than Bible verses. As of this moment, he is appealing termination of his... Continue Reading
America’s First ‘Non-Binary’ Person Switches Back: ‘There Is No Third Gender’
In his Daily Signal column, Shupe says he didn’t need affirmation from the medical community. He needed help.
Jamie Shupe, an Army veteran who made worldwide headlines due to his non-binary status in 2016, writes in a Daily Signal column that he convinced himself he was a woman during a mental health crisis in 2013. The medical profession affirmed his status, and then did so again when he wanted to become non-binary – that is,... Continue Reading
Chinese Govt Offers Financial Reward for Turning in Christians
The Chinese Government is offering cash rewards to people who inform on underground churches.
Religious affairs officials will offer cash rewards for useful information starting from just 100 yuan (£11). But helping to identify and arrest preachers and members of religious groups will be rewarded as much as 10,000 yuan – about two months’ average salary. One city is offering more than £1,000 to those who can identify ‘unofficial’... Continue Reading
Whole Christian Villages Wiped Out, Media Silent
Hundreds more dead and wounded Christians lay in villages in Nigeria while the world sleeps.
“After that attack, I came to visit the villages in the two-mile area around my church, and it was like a cemetery,” said Father Ikeh, weeping. “More than 150 people had been murdered.” In 2015, the Boko Haram was ranked the world’s deadliest terror group by the Institute for Economics and Peace. Another week.... Continue Reading
The Medical Scandal that the Mainstream Media Ignores
Over the past few years, media stories about “transgender” kids have become increasingly common, but critical questions are seldom asked.
Over the past few years, media stories about “transgender” kids have become increasingly common, but critical questions are seldom asked. These children’s identities are portrayed as immutable, while the ideologically-driven medical practices solidifying them are not investigated. Why won’t they report the truth: that these children and their families are victims of ruthless medical practices... Continue Reading
The Age of Terrorism Meets the Era of the Troll
The New Zealand shooter is an extreme example of an increasingly common disaffected person—mostly young men—whose worldview is shaped largely by an evil online culture.
It is not uncommon for terrorists to release a rambling, barely coherent manifesto. And it is usually wise to ignore them, since they only feed the murderer’s desire for attention. But the document left by the New Zealand shooter (whom I will not name) is worth examining, because it gives us insight into a new... Continue Reading
Worshiping the Earth
Humanity has moved away from worshiping the God of the Bible towards goddess worship, the worship of creation or Mother Earth.
Worshipping the creature rather than the creator engenders the wrath of God (Rom. 1:18). Moreover, it is futile. All pagan religion, including goddess/Earth worship seeks peace and harmony with nature, thinking that this is the solution to all of humanity’s ills. But it ignores the fact that the problem really lies in the human heart. ... Continue Reading
That Time We Boycotted E.T.
"If you live by the boycott, you may die by the boycott."
The National Association of Evangelicals joined together to campaign and encourage Christians to not buy the beloved family film as a show of displeasure over the other MCA/Universal film. Their goal was to significantly impact the profits of E.T., the film which MCA would expect Christians to watch, so that it would garner their attention... Continue Reading
Love in the Time of Jordan Peterson
Peterson's ideas have now become influential in the lives of millions of young men and women struggling to make sense of life and love under the neoliberal order.
The Boomers, whatever else they were, were romantics; they frequently did not let being married to others get in the way of their romances. Millennials, on the other hand, increasingly don’t marry at all. Ever. But not, contra Peterson, because they are wild eyed dreamers looking for their soul mates. Rather, because many of them have already internalized the... Continue Reading
A Religion of Activism
Sociology is terminally ill.
Berger described two symptoms of disorder: an anti-humanist fetish for quantification, which began in the mid-twentieth century, and the spread of ideology masquerading as scholarship, a consequence of the cultural revolution of the late 1960s. Much of the quantification he bemoaned complemented the politicization. Today, survey data and complicated statistical methodologies are useful aspects of... Continue Reading
