“Because guns miss more often than not, that means they’re not really weapons, just a way to make pretty noises. Therefore, I have every right to fire guns wherever and however I want and bear no responsibility for the consequences. "Also, you have to pay for my ammunition.”

The Traditionalist Anthem
I really like the band 'Skillet,' to the point where I've had to impose a rule against using any more of their songs in my 'Appreciation' videos. The other day I found this song, which pretty much perfectly expresses my attitude towards the modern world in general and progressivism in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWofQTAhUKA Particularly love the … Continue reading The Traditionalist Anthem
Why Did We Think This Was a Good Idea Again?
In the modern world, the well-being of the community is entrusted to the opinion of the crowd and the well-being of the individual to the pull of his appetite. In other words, we put our trust completely in the most fickle things in God’s creation.
A Startling Conclusion
The real question raised by the tarantula hawk’s practice of paralyzing and laying its eggs into a tarantula before burying it is this; how does it know what a tarantula is, if it was born in the dark, underground, inside the thing? How does it know to go after the tarantula, sting it, bury it, … Continue reading A Startling Conclusion

Why Relativism is Intolerant

The tolerance they boast of is purely specific: that they don't object to certain given acts (e.g. homosexuality) that … Continue reading Why Relativism is Intolerant
Thoughts on ‘Rampage’
Over the past few weeks I've been to see Steven Spielberg's film about a world bounded only by the imagination, the ultra-hyped latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and a Dwayne Johnson vehicle based on a cheesy arcade game. Guess which I think was the best. Go ahead; guess. Rampage is basically a sci-fi … Continue reading Thoughts on ‘Rampage’
The Two Thieves
All four Gospels note that Christ was crucified along with two others. These two are described as ‘thieve’ or ‘robbers,’ though this is sometimes rendered ‘revolutionaries’ or simply ‘criminals.’ One was crucified on His right, the other on His left. Viewed from a modern perspective, the designation of right and left is a little interesting, … Continue reading The Two Thieves
Another Thought
There is a popular idea, particularly in feminist circles, that men generally want women with pretty faces, empty heads, and closed mouths. Jane Austen thought this idea was stupid back in 1815. Emma: "I am very much mistaken if your sex in general would not think such beauty, and such temper, the highest claims a … Continue reading Another Thought
