Many argue that a person’s faith should have no bearing upon his politics; hence, a person’s personal faith should not influence his politics or influence whether a citizen votes for that candidate. This position seems, although admittedly quite neo-tolerant, either palpably uninformed or arrogantly dismissive of the Christian faith. First, if a person’s Christian faith…
Read MoreThe issue that divides is whether the legal right to have an abortion for reasons other than to save the life of the mother is right. What do the presidential candidates think? “Barack Obama understands that abortion is a divisive issue, and respects those who disagree with him. However, he has been a consistent champion…
Read MoreWhy does it seem so often that the federal government really works against the family with such things as taxes that are higher on married couples than if they were single, tax-funded education that undermines stable families, and divorce made easier than setting up a new television? Although I do not think this is conspiratorial,…
Read MoreSenator McCain has been widely and harshly criticized for saying “”If I were president today, I would fire him” referring to Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox. In our scientific liberal culture there are no sins, only broken laws or problems to be solved. Consequently, our present national financial fiasco is a colossal problem,…

It says, “Course material and instruction shall teach pupils to not make unwanted physical…

This probing begs for an answer to the question, “Is a candidate’s church membership or lack thereof relevant?” The answer is,…
Read MoreI guess the experts were right, people’s morals really don’t affect their job, I mean as long as they are really good at what they do. For example, if a surgeon is an excellent surgeon, what difference does it make if he is an immoral person, or if a lawyer wins cases, who cares what…
Read MorePro-lifers often draw parallels between the pro-abortion position, Nazi extermination of the Jews, and the Dred Scott vs. Sandford decision 1857, which ruled that black slaves were not fully human and therefore not protected under the U.S. Constitution. Of course, pro-abortionists gnash their teeth at such comparisons, but are they legitimate? Well, not only is…
