    Does holy scripture teach a "flat Earth"?

    Nowhere does the Bible explicitly teach a coherent cosmology but on the basis of multiple unrelated verses it seems reasonable to conclude that the dominant Biblical cosmology was of a flat earth. However, the early Christian church quickly adopted the Ptolemaic cosmology of a global earth. I...

    North Sentinal Island untouched by The Gospel

    The history of the contact between those who term themselves as "civilized" and those whom they consider as "savage" has had overwhelmingly negative consequences for the "savages". They have made it very clear that they want nothing whatsoever to do with us. We need to honour that. I am reminded...

    6 Problems Christians Have with the Christian Worldview

    Christianity and even Judaism aside the first century eastern Mediterranean worldview is far different than the modern Western world view and in a great many ways there is no going back.

    Change in (US) American Christianity?

    At the time of the Revolution historians and demographers indicate that the settlers/colonists were nominally Christian in the sense that most derived from Europe. However only about 10% were actually "churched" in the sense of being members of a congregation. Many of the elite were deists...

    Tacos in heaven

    Of course there are tacos in heaven but anything that falls out just evaporates before hitting the clouds or your white robe.

    Power/Might of Satan

    Satan, if he exists, has just as much power as we allow him. God didn't create Satan, man did. Satan (ha'shaitan) occurs by name in the Old Testament in the Book of Job, and here it's clear that the angel Satan is not the Devil! The Devil is supposedly banished from the presence of God, yet in...

    President refuses to sign spending bill

    Over the course of history a number of different walls have been built at great expense --- the Great Wall of China, Hadrian's Wall, the Berlin Wall, The Iron Curtain, the Maginot Line, the Siegfried Line --- all failed and are now little more than tourist attractions. Trump's Wall is just...

    Jokes

    In Canada with a suitable change of names that would be a Newfie joke but they would probably work in something about having to paint around the potholes.

    Toblerone chocolate is Halal. Folks are mad. Next...

    Kosher and Halal are so similar that Muslims and Jews will use the other if theirs is not available. For purely business reasons (a bigger market) it is worthwhile to Toblerone to get the certification.

    Christmas: ANYTHING and EVERYTHING Remoted Related

    Maybe Mary didn't know. I recall that at one point during the ministry of Jesus, Mary and some of her other sons came to take Jesus away because they thought him insane. Did she forget being visited by angels, being miraculously impregnated, the virgin birth, the choirs of angels, the incident...

    Beliefs that Progressive Christians and Atheists Share

    I would suggest that the Bible was itself largely written in conformity to the standards of a culture that no longer exists. I refer primarily to patriarchy which is arguably the most pernicious evil that humanity has ever inflicted on itself. Aside from the misogyny of patriarchy we also see...

    Back to the moon?

    The space program has been of immense benefit to mankind in a great many completely unexpected ways. I say "Go for it" but as an international effort like the ISS. Sooner or later mankind will have to leave the womb.

    Canada's Hundred Days

    November 11, 2018 marks the one hundredth anniversary of the end of World War I. Canada fought this war from the beginning but the last hundred days was our finest hour. It began with the Canadian Corps assault at Amiens. For the first time in four years the German defences collapsed completely...

    Hatred Hidden Consumes a Person, Hatred Spread Consumes a Nation

    Hate is like a powerful acid. It corrodes the container in which it is stored as much as the object on which it is poured.

    Pope compares abortion to hiring a hit man to solve problems

    It is obvious that both the female egg and the male sperm have a form of life but no one would call either a person. When they unite to form a zygote it certainly is alive. There is a potential person there and a great many people would claim that it actually is a person. Let us grant for a...
