Transgender Ideology and the Rise of the Thought Police
The Fair Play for Women organisation is taking the Scottish Government to court, arguing that sex is legally defined in law and cannot just be arbitrarily overridden by a government committed to this strange ideology.
Scotland is both an example and a warning to other Western liberal democracies when the governing parties are taken over by the Woke progressives. Social “justice” issues – from their perspective – are their primary concern. Sometimes it seems as though when one “progressive” country goes so far, the next wants to go even further....

Finland Explicitly Puts the Bible on Trial
Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola and Member of Parliament Dr. Päivi Räsänen, charged with hate crimes for teaching what the Bible says about homosexuality.
Joy Pullman of the Federalist has been covering the case and the trial. She reports that the hearing on Monday took a strange twist. Instead of focusing on the two defendants, who could be sentenced to a fine of 10,000 euros and two years in prison, the prosecutors, in effect, put on trial the Bible itself. From her article, Finnish Government... Continue Reading
Religious Beliefs Shouldn’t be Subject to “Verification,” Justice Neil Gorsuch Says in Dissent
The Supreme Court denied a request for oral argument in the case of New Life in Christ Church v. City of Fredericksburg, which centered on whether Josh and Anacari Storms can claim a tax exemption for their residence.
Last August, the First Liberty Institute, Christian Legal Society and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLC filed a petition to the Supreme Court on behalf of New Life in Christ Church after the Virginia Supreme Court refused to hear the complaint against the city for denying the tax exemption status.

Coronavirus pandemic pushed a renewed desire for many to homeschool their children.

What Canada’s Bill C-4 Can & Can’t Do
Canada has criminalized the evangelism, counseling, and shepherding of people in homosexuality and transgenderism.
Attempts by men and nations to prevent God’s sovereign purposes, not the least of which are conversion, are so pathetically impotent that God laughs at them. No nation ever has, and no nation ever will, hinder God from accomplishing his sovereign purposes. Much attention has been given to Canada’s recently passed, “Bill C-4.” Reportedly, some 4000...

In Europe, the Transgender Movement is Facing an Enormous Backlash
There is a very real chance that this horrifying civilizational medical experimentation on the young may finally be forced to face the facts.
A subset of the French elite is taking a stand against gender ideology. In September, over fifty medical professionals, prominent academics, legal experts, doctors, philosophers, psychiatrists, judges, and psychoanalysts published a scathing open letter condemning aspects of gender ideology and gender transition in children. Published through the Observatory of Ideological Discourses on Children and Adolescents, the letter... Continue Reading
The 4 Horsemen of the Philosophical Apocalypse
Four intellectual trends that had been absolutely disastrous for modern education.
“If the object of education is the improvement of men, then any system of education that is without values is a contradiction in terms. A system that seeks bad values is bad. A system that denies the existence of values denies the possibility of education. Relativism, scientism, skepticism, and anti-intellectualism, the four horsemen of the... Continue Reading
An Overlooked Cause of Rome’s Decline
A significant and often overlooked cause of Rome’s decline was the epidemic—thought to be smallpox—that afflicted the empire from 165-180 A.D.
Americans should absolutely continue to work for the (non-coercive) betterment of men, but they should be under no illusions that this work can provide an impregnable bulwark against their society’s decline and collapse. For, as history shows, the collapse of America is a certainty. Much less certain is when and why it will happen. There’s a general feeling out... Continue Reading
The Government’s “Religious Exemption” Process is a Farce
Out of the more than 21,000 requests submitted by members of the U.S. Armed Forces for a religious exemption from the COVID vaccine requirement, not a single one had been approved.
I for one have had enough and am moving on from this agency that demanded I open the most personal aspects of my life to be subject to a bureaucrat’s judgment. I encourage others who are in a similar position to do the same. An employer who will not respect you is not worthy of... Continue Reading
Abortion, the Imago Dei, and Love
What constitutes a particular act as an act of abortion is not the treatment itself but the intent to kill the baby in utero.
Abortion is not just a policy or ideological debate; it is a deeply personal and spiritual issue in our communities, congregations, and families. And the only way forward is to speak the truth in love and be the Good Samaritan Christ calls us to be to everyone we encounter, for we are all made in... Continue Reading
