The discussion about Islam with Ben Affleck and Sam Harris on Bill Maher’s show is still making waves. Journalist Nicholas Kristof also took part in the discussion, backing up Affleck. Both Harris and Maher are atheists. Even so, they shot down Affleck’s claim that Christianity is also a violent religion

Why does anyone listen to atheist evolutionist Richard Dawkins when he talks about morality? As a full materialist – the only thing that matters is matter – he doesn’t have the basis to talk about morality. Morality of an ultimate nature does not exist for the atheist. Given atheist assumptions

How many times have we read in textbooks and popular historical accounts of how the Roman Catholic Church jailed and even executed people who denied the church’s scientific views? Most if not all of these claims are fiction, but they are used nevertheless. Lawrence Torcello, assistant professor of philosophy at

Pro-abortionists like to appeal to the hard cases when it comes to legalizing abortion. They’ll ask, “What about a baby conceived because of rape? This is why we need to legalize abortion.” So for something that happens in rare cases, as evil as the act is, we should legalize abortion

One of the most thankless jobs in America today is being the president of a college or university. Not only do you have to contend with coddled tenured professors, but you have to answer why the football team did not have a winning season. Big bucks flow from football frenzied

We live in amoral topsy turvy world. Up is down and down is up. The bar of moral degeneracy has been lowered so far that even the world greatest limbo dancer would have hard time getting under it. Patrick Moynihan described today’s moral freefall as “Defining Deviancy Down.” Robert Bork,

“Abortion Barbie” Wendy Davis, the liberal darling of the pro-abortion set and the new celebrity icon of the Girl Scouts, has been caught in a number of lies about her background. Davis, a Texas state senator who is running for governor and is touted as “a rising Democratic star,” came

Here’s the latest headline: “‘Humans evolved after a female chimpanzee mated with a pig,” the resultant ChimPigZee. The theory of evolution gets even more bizarre. Evolutionists can’t account for matter, organized information to make the matter walk, talk, think, invent, and love, but one leading geneticist offers the hypothesis that

The Freedom From Religion Foundation has started a new ad campaign pushing atheism as the foundation for all of life. Of course, the ad campaign doesn’t say that a person should murder, rape, or steal, but there’s nothing within the context of “Enjoy Life Now” that says a person can’t

Rape is a horrible crime. It’s a violation of everything a woman is. People who have had their house robbed often describe it as a rape. Strangers enter your most private place and steal your most valued possessions with indifference and leave you to rebuild years of memories. Rape, of

It wasn’t too long ago that John McCain referred to Senator Rand Paul, Senator Ted Cruz, and Rep. Justin Amash (all Republicans) as “wacko birds.” He later apologized. Do you want to hear something really “wacko”? Sen. McCain accused Fox News host Brian Kilmeade of being Islamaphobic because he said

According to a recent Pew Institute report, in 2007 there were a record 4,316,233 births in the United States. In 2012, the number of births was 4,007,000, the lowest number since 1998. “Analysts say that the birthrate is dictated by the economy.” In the circles I frequent, young families are

You don’t have to be a woman to know that rape is a violent criminal act that should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I would like to see the death penalty attached to the crime. Our so-called rehabilitation-oriented criminal justice system has done a disservice to

Dr. Jerry Coyne is a professor at the University of Chicago in the Department of Ecology and Evolution who might prove to be an excellent defense witness for Ariel Castro. Coyne is a critic of all anti-evolution belief systems, including creationism, theistic evolution, and intelligent design, which he calls “the

Another Ten Commandments display has been removed from another school, and a nation is shocked when it reads stories about young people raping classmates and murdering school children and its government passing thousands of page of new laws and regulations that will trample on our basic liberties. Should we be

Creeping Islam is making its way to the once civilized nations of the world where even the prohibition against rape is being questioned. We shouldn’t be surprised. Moral absolutes were given up a long time ago unless they are part of a leftist agenda. Then and only then are there

Atheists are always trying to be clever but rarely are. Their new advertising campaign carries this line: “Atheism: A Personal Relationship with Reality.” What’s real in a materialistic, evolutionary, and amoral worldview? These atheists are begging the question. That is, they are assuming what they first must prove. They are

In the vice-presidential debate, the topic of abortion came up. Vice-President Biden said that he was “personally opposed to abortion,” but he did not believe it was right to oppose his personal aversion to abortion on women who disagree with his personal beliefs. Biden is Roman Catholic, and if there
