Insinuations Candidate Slate Not Sufficiently Religious
By: FMeekins (Diary) | August 26th at 05:31 PM |
Those that express a Christian Reconstructionist or Dominionist perspective are in an uproar that it is imperative that Christians only vote for other Christians. Some holding to this perspective even contend that only confirmed Christians should be allowed to run for public office and if you vote for someone that isn’t, even if none are running, your soul could very well be in danger of | Read More »
Lessons In Apologetics #8: Atheism
By: FMeekins (Diary) | August 20th at 10:38 PM |
If the Christian has no assurance that God will triumph from the way the world appears to be going, one would be better off hedging one’s bets by siding with the Devil or sitting the whole thing out all together. There are those that attempt to do just that. Atheism is the worldview that believes that God does not exist. Those embracing this perspective tend | Read More »

An associate watching a home repair show informed of an episode where an owner could not get the permit to remodel unless he promised not to remove poison ivy on the property since it is classified as a “non-invasive species”. If the Oslo tragedy will be invoked to justify how guns and those questioning immigration are a threat to social order, can’t it also be | Read More »
Shining The Light On Laser Pointer Penalties
By: FMeekins (Diary) | July 21st at 06:30 PM |
The Federal Aviation Administration has announced plans to impose fines as high as $11,000 upon those caught shining laser pointers into airplane cockpits. Exposure to the beam emitted by such a device can result in temporary blindness, thus theoretically resulting in a major air catastrophe if a flight crew were unexpectedly incapacitated. In a sense, such a regulation is all good and called for. However, | Read More »
Leftists Plot Materialistic Afterlife
By: FMeekins (Diary) | July 15th at 07:13 PM |
Futurist Ray Kurzweil, Former Vice President Al Gore, and Bill Maher are scheduled to take part in an all-star panel discussion titled “Transcendent Man” broadcast to select theaters across America. The forum will in part discuss the merging of man and machine for the purposes of indefinitely extending the human lifespan. No doubt listening to Al Gore drone on and on will definitely make it | Read More »
The Halperin Hullabaloo
By: FMeekins (Diary) | July 6th at 05:52 PM |
An MSNBC analyst called Obama a BLEEP. As spineless as the President is, one shouldn’t be so sure he should be categorized as anything so distinctively male. In the sex-dominated culture of the leftist media, wouldn’t calling Obama a BLEEP actually be the highest possible compliment? Calling Obama a male appendage is no worse than calling anyone else that. The President is owed no more | Read More »

By: FMeekins (Diary) | June 29th at 06:55 PM |
A New York Times correspondent insists that Americans living in the middle of the country have sloping foreheads. Weren’t the Nazis also obsessed with equating cranial shape with intelligence? The Washington Post labeled Glenn Beck as a “creature” in regards to his pending rally in Israel. I thought bastions of tolerance such as the Post use to warm that such linguistic dehumanization was the first | Read More »
Lessons In Apologetics #7: Panentheism
By: FMeekins (Diary) | June 20th at 05:12 PM |
The next worldview examined by Geisler in “Christian Apologetics” is Panentheism. Whereas Deism postulated a God detached from His creation for the sake of transcendence and Pantheism claims that God and the world are coterminous for the sake of immanence, Panentheism attempts to conceptualize a God that is distinct from yet part of the world. To the Panentheist, God is to the world what mind | Read More »
Food Fascism Lays Groundwork For Additional Control
By: FMeekins (Diary) | June 9th at 07:15 PM |
Wonder what the food fascists advocating dietary asceticism scarfed down as children. As anyone that has sat through an evangelistic missionary testimonial knows, those griping the loudest about your errant ways are usually the ones that could make a sailor blush before they came to religion. A Chicago school’s policy of controlling what students eat is an example of the threat posed to human liberty | Read More »
What Does Christian Education Only Really Mean?
By: FMeekins (Diary) | May 30th at 11:56 AM |
When someone makes a statement like “The only education we should be interested in is Christian education”, it might earn brownie points with certain fanatics. However, it really needs to be clarified before the wider scope of the Church can endorse it. For example, does the person making the statement include the entire breadth of human knowledge derived from reflection upon the creation and applications | Read More »
Certain Manners Reveal How Much Some Adults Despise Children
By: FMeekins (Diary) | May 23rd at 05:34 PM |
Yahoo has promulgated a list of manners that it insists all children should know and abide by. Many of these such as saying “please” and “thank you” or sending a “thank you note” are important courtesies. Others are simply a reminder just how much certain adults despise children. Some of these serve no other purpose than to condition the individual into docility so as to | Read More »

By: FMeekins (Diary) | May 12th at 07:15 PM |
Kind of tells you what a person is made of if they hold a pity party in regards to how Bin Ladin was mistreated during his elimination. The person raising these concerns is the very same extreme Reconstructionist that any other time thinks Glenn Beck should be executed as a “false prophet” along with Sabbath violators. Borrowing from the advocates of infantacide, if you don’t | Read More »
Does The DC Government Care If Terrorists Kill Christians?
By: FMeekins (Diary) | May 9th at 07:32 PM |
A story posted at Yahoo News detailed the steps taken in Washington, DC to prepare for a retaliatory attack on the part of Al Qaeda over the death of Osama Bin Ladin. Among the measures included increased police protection of synagogues and mosques. What about Christian churches? Aren’t these structures as worthy of protection? However, they were not mentioned in the article. If not, shouldn’t | Read More »
Church Financially Rewards Unwed Motherhood

Featured in a twitter post I stumbled across was a promotional by a church promising to give $100 to every single mother that shows up at the congregation for Mother’s Day. If a family lives as some of these fundamentalist churches demand, with dad working and mom at home, they are bringing in no more income than a household headed by a single mother In | Read More »
Tweets Regarding Bin Ladin’s Demise

Bin Ladin is supposedly dead. A million plus terrorists to go. The death of Bin Ladin ends the war on terrorism the same way the capture of Saddam ended war in Iraq. Now that Bin Ladin is supposedly dead, expect Qaddaffi to attempt to regain his crown as king of all terrorists. Bin Ladin’s compound is surrounded by 18 foot walls. Can’t help but admire | Read More »
Ruminations Regarding Libya
By: FMeekins (Diary) | April 14th at 07:12 PM |
Another brilliant move on the part of the Obama Administration. Officials have let it slip that the CIA has operatives on the ground in Libya. Shouldn’t the proper response be when such a question is raised “neither confirm nor deny”? Better yet, what is so wrong with outright prevarication in regards to such a matter? Some truths are not necessarily owed at the time they | Read More »

In his comments regarding the cancellation of a football game, Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell actually let slip the contempt he feels towards the citizens of the United States in general and the people of the Keystone State in particular. In one remark especially, Rendell posited that the Chinese are to be extolled for the hypothetical situation that they would likely attend a scheduled athletic event | Read More »

The National Survey For Family Growth has concluded that 25% of young adults have not had sex. As interesting as these figures are, they are not the real issue. The vital questions that come to mind are these. If it is compulsory to answer the American Community Survey , the bureaucratic euphemism under which the intrusive Census Long Form is now conducted, under threat of | Read More »
Lessons In Apologetics #6: Pantheism
By: FMeekins (Diary) | March 3rd at 07:39 PM |
If Deism is the belief that God is so transcendent from the cosmos He created that He no longer participates directly in it, Pantheism must be the worldview at the other end of the continuum believing that a higher power exists as Pantheism holds that God is so immanent with the universe that God and the universe are one. As a worldview, Pantheism has plagued | Read More »
