Hurt Feelings, Conscience, and Freedom – Part 1

The First Amendment protects even the most offensive speech.

Written by Rick Plasterer | Monday, June 26, 2023

Among the many amicus briefs offered to the Supreme Court, likely the best at answering the claim of stigma mitigation against the constitutional right to free speech was offered by Robert George, professor of law at Princeton University. George compellingly shows that principles established by the Supreme Court recognize the constitutional right to free speech cannot be curtailed...

The Moral Outrage Game

Consider two recent examples that demonstrate whose moral outrage actually governs the interpretation of the law.

Written by Clifford Humphrey | Monday, June 26, 2023

It appears that our most bitter political divisions are over what we all truly should consider morally outrageous. This fact helps reveal the artificiality of the political posture of late-stage liberalism: we can’t help but feel morally outraged by the breaking of certain laws because they touch on loyalties that transcend the laws. This fact... Continue Reading

A Woke Feminist Behind Every Bush?

Today, we are all living in “Woke Gardens.” It is owned and operated by the “Global Anti-Patriarchy Alliance.”

Written by Christian McSaffrey | Thursday, June 22, 2023

Besides our cultural naiveté with regard to feminism, another example would be racism. I know a lot men who honestly believe they are not racist because they try to be “color blind” in their estimation of others (i.e., judging people by the content of their character rather than by the color of their skin). That... Continue Reading

Destroying the Family

Though the family is under attack in these difficult times, we have many occasions to stand up for the family by showing the beauty of marriage and children.

Written by Peter Jones | Tuesday, June 20, 2023

Though the family is under attack in these difficult times, we have many occasions to stand up for the family by showing the beauty of marriage and children. We do not rely on the impression we make in our marriages and families, though such qualities stand out these days. We also share the Gospel, which... Continue Reading

The Return to Moloch’s Furnace

Atheists who are staring over that Spartan cliff are chillingly comfortable with their conclusions and enthusiastic about leaving the sanctity of human life in the rear-view mirror.

Written by Jonathon Van Maren | Tuesday, June 20, 2023

For years, pro-life ethicists and activists have been told that citing prestigious scholars advocating for infanticide constitutes the slippery slope fallacy. After all, we were told, one can find an academic to advocate for nearly anything, but nobody actually takes them seriously. But if the history of the 20th century tells us anything, it is...

Why Target Can’t See Straight

The Bible says that you will choose according to your nature until you are given a new nature.

Written by Clint Archer | Friday, June 16, 2023

God is supernaturally sending a strong delusion to they will whole-heartedly believe what is clearly false, untrue, not real. This explains the travesty of women’s sports being overrun by lying or delusional men. It explains how supreme court nominees and esteemed professors can’t answer Matt Walsh’s simple question, “What is a woman?” It explains why... Continue Reading

High Trust as Force Multiplier

In this environment, those of us who run institutions or government entities need to actively manage for trust (including competence).

Written by Aaron M. Renn | Monday, June 12, 2023

Do we, can we, should we trust the government, other institutions, or other citizens? There are multiple dimensions of this: trustworthiness (ethical dealings), competence, delivery of results (a product of trustworthiness and competence applied to a defined mission). If you have this trust, it operates as a force multiplier that makes everything else work better. When... Continue Reading

“Pride” Month is not License to Resort to Name-Calling the Faithful

Shame on the Associated Press for resorting to name-calling, e.g., “homophobic members.”

Written by Helen Louise Herndon | Sunday, June 11, 2023

It’s telling that the Associated Press chose not to show respect for religious values when it comes to sexual morality. For AP, June Pride Month licenses its writers to insult religious people for their ancient and current beliefs. This is a form of intolerance veering into hatred, especially anti-Jewish hatred, that deserves to be called... Continue Reading

Professor Declares June “Fidelity Month” in Support of God and Family

The outspoken Catholic and social conservative announced that June would be “Fidelity Month,” in opposition to "Pride Month."

Written by Matt Lamb | Tuesday, June 6, 2023

The new month is a positive development coming from a professor and supported by other academics….Instead of posting rainbow flags and boasting about their support for the LGBT agenda, schools should embrace Fidelity Month and fight for the restoration of traditional values.   June is officially “Fidelity Month,” according to Princeton University Professor Robert George....

Thousands of Congregations Leave United Methodist Church Over Biblical Concerns

They are part of a growing exodus from the denomination.

Written by Jeff Johnston | Sunday, June 4, 2023

In recent years, bishops and ministers blessed homosexual relationships. UMC conferences approved lesbian- and gay-identified ministers and bishops, defying Scripture and official Methodist policy. Church leaders also showed support for abortion, denouncing the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.   Last week, 193 churches disaffiliated from the South Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church “over matters related to human sexuality,” announced Bishop David Graves, overseer...
