Why Are So Many of Our Youth Identifying as LGBTQ+?
Many in the Gen Z and alpha generation who currently find their value, meaning, and identity in an LGBTQ+ label will, in God’s good timing, find Christ alone to be their all-in-all.
In the latest Gallup poll for 2022, only 2.7% of baby boomers and 3.3% of Gen Xers identified as LGBTQ+ versus 11.2% of millennials and 19.7% of Gen Z. Along with that, while there was only a slight increase in the total percentage of Americans identifying as LGBTQ+ from 2012–2020, that number showed a marked... Continue Reading
A Clear Ruling on Religious Accommodation
The Supreme Court unanimously protects religious employees.
The Supreme Court made it clear that the Constitution does not “‘compel the government to purge from the public sphere’ anything an objective observer could reasonably infer endorses or ‘partakes of the religious.’” Now, the court is ensuring that religious Americans need not leave their faith at home when they go to work. In... Continue Reading
Is Math Racist?
Objective truth, not politics, empowers students.
Students who are taught that answers to algebra problems depend on the color of their skin and that calculus professors are oppressors are not only not going to unlock the mysteries of the universe, but they will also believe what is not true about who they are and the world in which they live. Woke educators may hope to liberate... Continue Reading
What Is Islam?
Muslims follow a works-based religion and thus live with uncertainty whether Allah will admit them to paradise. No such uncertainty exists in the message of the gospel.
Though it professes to be the authoritative revelation of the one true God, the Qur’an includes a number of historically and theologically inaccurate accounts of biblical figures. For instance, the Qur’an teaches that Abraham offered up Ishmael rather than Isaac. The Qur’an also teaches that Isa ibn Maryam (Jesus, the son of Mary) was merely... Continue Reading
Uganda and Its Opposition to LGBTQ Normalization
The country’s new “anti-gay” laws hit Western controversy.
Every civilized society criminalizes some sexual behaviors, and Ugandans have the right to define the boundaries of legal sexual behaviors. More specifically, they have the right to consider homosexual acts as criminal offenses. The outage from Western political leaders and the United Nations is against any such legislation. The East African nation of Uganda... Continue Reading
Supreme Court Rules In Favor Of Colorado Graphic Designer Who Refused To Create Same-Sex Wedding Websites
Supreme Court case 303 Creative v. Elenis pitted First Amendment freedom against LGBTQ discrimination.
In a 6-3 decision issued Friday, the high court ruled in favor of artist Lorie Smith, who sued the state over its anti-discrimination law that prohibited businesses providing sales or other accommodations to the public from denying service based on a customer’s sexual orientation. Smith said the law infringed on her First Amendment rights by... Continue Reading
Supreme Court Hands Religious Freedom Win To Postal Worker Who Refused To Work On Sunday
Gerald Groff, a Christian mailman, said USPS should have accommodated his religious beliefs about work on Sundays.
In ruling for the government worker, the high court overturned its 1977 precedent that said employers had to “reasonably accommodate” an employee’s religious beliefs and practices, so long as it did not create an “undue hardship” on the business. The new decision tightens the “undue hardship” standard, and could make it easier for some individual... Continue Reading
Suddenly, School Choice: Its Rapid Post-Pandemic Expansion Sets Up a Big Pass/Fail Test for Education
After public schools' pandemic failures, eight states – including Arizona, Florida, and Indiana – are committing tax funds for educational alternatives for most any student, including those students already in private schools and from wealthy families.
In states with universal programs, Wolf at Arkansas foresees a gradual increase in the number of students who participate, eventually attracting 15% to 20% of all students in a state. That wouldn’t be the end of public schools, but it would mark a significant increase in the number of students who choose their own educational... Continue Reading
What the Science Really Says About “Gender-Affirming” Medicine
While more research may be necessary, studies indicate that gender transition surgery, on the whole, exacerbates patients’ unhappiness.
At the heart of the case for so-called “gender-affirming care” is the claim that transition prevents suicide. Research, however, shows the opposite. In a summary of recent research, Ben Johnson described how life satisfaction among those who undergo “transition” surgeries decreases rather than increases. While activists in the U.S. seek to eliminate any restrictions... Continue Reading
Legalization of Polygamy Was Always the Logical Consequence of Obergefell
If marriage is possible between any two individuals, then why not three, four, or any number of consenting adults, regardless of their sex?
Likely today most liberal politicians would say they are opposed to polygamy because it is a vestige of bad ancient patriarchal societies. But so long as American law rejects traditional marriage as a valid definition, they have no leg to stand on to deny it to groups of consenting men and women or persons who... Continue Reading
