Possibly, definitely, God exists

I didn’t argue much as a child. At least that’s what my (sometimes selective) memory tells me. Yeah, I’m pretty sure I almost always agreed with my siblings that it was in fact… Continue reading

Giving up the chase

Imagine reading Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John and coming to a scene like this: Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through… Continue reading

Says who?

WHAT DO WE NEED?! OBJECTIVE TRUTH! WHEN DO WE NEED IT?! RIGHT NOW!! I doubt we’ll be hearing any responsorial protest chants like this anywhere anytime soon…even though this commodity essential for daily living is… Continue reading

The greatest miracle

It always strikes me as odd when skeptics or atheists dismiss the virgin conception of Jesus as a ridiculous impossibility. The late former atheist Christopher Hitchens – “former” because now he knows the… Continue reading

There’s knowing, and then there’s knowing

Well, it’s happened again. Just when I’m about to quit Facebook…except for Scrabble…I can’t quit Scrabble. Scrabble to me is what working out is to others…I need it, am rejuvenated by it, and… Continue reading

So what’s the matter with racism?

In the aftermath of the election to the presidency of a racist, nonconformist, misogynistic, freedom fighting, buffoonish champion of the working man, it seems no one is safe from shaming and acrimonious accusations.… Continue reading
