Well, we have yet another variant of Covid on our hands and already people are looking to the government for help. The media is already in full hysteria mode, to the point of demanding that the military force vaccines on everyone, and the Australian government is putting its own citizens in quarantine camps, which is … Continue reading The Government Can’t Save You

Don’t Believe All Women
Unless you live under a particularly soundproof rock, you’ve probably heard the phrase ‘believe all women’ in regards to rape, sexual assault, and other horrible forms of abuse. I’m here to remind you that God says not to do that. Let me just lay out all the ands, ors, and yeah-buts at the outset so … Continue reading Don’t Believe All Women
Human Worth and the Myth of Equality
One of the foundational tenets of our society is the notion of ‘equality’, the idea that everyone is and ought to be equal. Unfortunately, equality is seldom defined beyond this and it has led to a great deal of confusion, grief and outright deception in our society. The problem stems from the intentional conflation of … Continue reading Human Worth and the Myth of Equality
Conscience and Vaccine Mandates
The point of this article isn’t whether or not the COVID vaccine is safe or effective. I have my own thoughts on that, as well as taking the recommendations of government officials who’ve lied repeatedly, but that’s for another time. What is more concerning is the willingness of professing Christians to dismiss and denigrate the … Continue reading Conscience and Vaccine Mandates
On People As Consumer Goods
The state of human relationships in our modern world is simply abysmal. Loneliness has reached epidemic proportions, even with social media to (allegedly) keep us connected with each other. This was a problem even before the government decided to force people to stay in their homes ‘for their own good’, although lockdowns, social distancing, and … Continue reading On People As Consumer Goods
Technology Is Just A Tool
We live in a really high-tech world. The amount of technological innovation in just the past century is mind-boggling when compared to any time before the Industrial Revolution. Even in my own lifetime, we’ve gone from watching shows on VHS to on-demand streaming on smartphones. This nosebleed-inducing pace of technological change can seem like a … Continue reading Technology Is Just A Tool
A Case For Looking On The Bright Side
Over the last year or so, I’ve noticed an interesting pattern when I talk to older people. If we’re talking about current events, the future, or even the recent past, I usually get some variant of the line ‘I’d hate to be your age today’. It’s an interesting inversion of what one would expect; usually … Continue reading A Case For Looking On The Bright Side

The Importance Of Being Disciplined
“If it feels good, do it.” This is the credo of 21st century consumerist, entertainment driven Western culture in its pursuit of saccharine pleasures and decadent self-indulgence. The evidence of our obsession with pleasure is everywhere, if you take a moment to just stop and look. The effort put into ensuring easy access to entertainment, … Continue reading The Importance Of Being Disciplined
The Wealth Gap Isn’t Actually A Bad Thing
There’s very little that Left and Right agree on in today’s contentious political climate, but one of the few things both sides seem to agree on is the idea that the wealth gap is a bad thing. Each side focuses on a different end of this disparity, the Left focuses on the super wealthy while … Continue reading The Wealth Gap Isn’t Actually A Bad Thing
