    Does religion cause most conflict in the world?

    For sheer body count, it's hard to beat Communism/Marxism: in the hundreds of millions of people dead. Nothing else, so far as I know, even comes close.

    Trump’s Anti-Science Campaign

    Fortunately, we have a 1765 census of Boston, at least, right here. The blog author takes the data from J. H. Benton, Jr., Early Census Making in Massachusetts, 1643-1765, published in 1905. As you can see, the total negro population of Boston was 811, which constitutes 5.23% of the total...

    Trump’s Anti-Science Campaign

    I'm not so sure of that. In 1765, well before the existence of government schools, John Adams wrote, a "... native of America, especially of New England, who cannot read and write is as rare a Phenomenon as a Comet." Indeed, if you look at the literacy rate (admittedly only one measure of...

    Trump’s Anti-Science Campaign

    It would decrease the cost overall, because this plan would introduce competition into the educational arena. Right now, the government schools get x amount of money from everyone, regardless of whether those people are making use of the schools or not (and, I might add, whether those people...

    Trump’s Anti-Science Campaign

    In the U.S., the government schools are utterly unable to provide a truly great education, mostly because of lack of competition (the taxes that go toward schools must be payed by everyone, not just the people that send their kids there). A very large number of homeschoolers can blow the...

    Proof of Divine Simplicity

    So, I have a colleague, a good friend, who does not believe in the Trinity. He's sort of a unitarian, but with a lowercase 'u' there. I'm trying to convince him of the truth of the great Doctrine of the Trinity, and it seems to me that Divine Simplicity could be of help here - that is, God has...

    History, facts, data ... and racism in the USA

    MoreCoffee: Whew! Well, if voting for Trump is enough to make you racist, I'm happy that I don't qualify on that count, at least. Trump's demeaning tone to women alone is enough to lose my vote. You mentioned "Conservative Christian" as well, though. What do you mean by "Conservative"? Is this...

    History, facts, data ... and racism in the USA

    I'm sure you're probably right, which tells to the important question of needing revival inside the church as well as outside. Where is the church caring for widows and orphans? Some are, many are not.

    History, facts, data ... and racism in the USA

    And the biblical basis for leveling the serious charge of partiality (which is the biblical name for the sin of racism) at "Republicans and Conservative Christians" is... what? This is a serious question. If you're calling me racist, then I seriously want to know what actions or words of mine...

    History, facts, data ... and racism in the USA

    The solution isn't political programs, or the government at all. The government is completely helpless to solve the problem, except to continue fighting crime. That'll help some. The solution is the gospel, because it is out of a man's heart that his words and actions flow. If the Holy Spirit...

    Trump’s Anti-Science Campaign

    Yeah, I can't get too worked up about it. Neither creationism nor evolution are scientific (their ultimate claims are not testable by scientific methods) - they're both faiths. And faith is by no means anti-intellectual. I'm not in favor of ditching the public schools. I just think they should...

    An Explanation of Confessionalism

    We've probably all heard the phrase "No creed but Christ", or "No creed but the Bible". The problem is, this simply isn't possible. If someone were to come up to you on the street and ask you what you believe (and you should be ready to answer him, 1 Pet. 3:15), what you're NOT going to do is...

    Two cyclists and a fly

    You could do the infinite summation, but it's much simpler to realize that the constant switching of direction of the fly doesn't change that it's essentially always covering 10 mph. As it'll take Jim Bob and Ellie May exactly one hour to meet, the fly will have covered 10 miles during that time.

    Best way to find jobs

    I have two pieces of advice. 1. Polish, polish, and polish your resume. Get it down to one page, and make sure that it grabs the attention. Recruiters spend all of about 10 seconds looking at a resume, so it has to hit hard. Don't use a canned format from the Internet, because recruiters see...

    Excommunication

    The churches I've been in have this exact procedure in place, just like in Matthew 18 (yes, God does have a procedure for His church in this matter). And it has happened, though not frequently. To be absolutely clear on this, the only sin that gets you excommunicated is failure to repent.
