    Equal Rights Amendment

    All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.

    Why do hardships have opposite effects on different people?

    I remember the saying "two men look out through the prison bars. One sees mud, the other sees stars" Why do some people look down and others look up? Maybe it's genetic, maybe it's about life experience, maybe it is at least something of a matter of personal choice. If you're looking out...

    What are some good examples

    Most of what passes for an argument on social media.

    Jigsaw Puzzles

    I like them, they just take up a lot of space while they are between being taken out of the box and put back into the box. I like them a lot more now I replaced the nasty light fitting over the dining table with one that doesn't create as much glare on glossier pieces. I know you can get things...

    Telehealth prescriptions

    I figured that was probably the case. I guess it's one way to get more people to go to church though :)

    What country

    Hard to say. I really like some offerings from India, Thailand and Japan, but wouldn't say they are universally the best.

    Drive-in theater

    I went to see the movie "Closed for the winter". Nearly froze to death in the car waiting for it to start.

    How can I believe anything?

    This is where you go back to first principles and look to figure out the nature of God. If you conclude, as the Bible teaches, that "God so loved the world" that's pretty universal. A racist might present an argument that ultimately boils down to "God so loved the world, well, except for the...

    Telehealth prescriptions

    Your pastor writes prescriptions? Seriously, I'd agree that a first prescription for opioids should require a visit in person. If they are for post-surgery pain relief then the fact the person has had surgery should be enough - presumably they were there in person for the surgery so offering...

    How can I believe anything?

    It's also good to consider the basis for having faith. When you board a plane you are trusting your life to thousands of gallons of highly flammable liquid strapped to a small metal tube. But that small metal tube has flown before, many times, and has got untold thousands of people from one...

    How can I believe anything?

    I think it's reasonable to argue "this faith lied, therefore other faiths may also lie". It's just not reasonable to argue "this faith lied, therefore other faiths are also lying".

    How can I believe anything?

    It can be hard to trust leaders in general when trusted leaders turn out to have lied to us. That said it's important not to take too broad a brush when introducing some warranted caution into your life. The fact the person who lied to you was a leader doesn't mean all leaders lie. There's a...

    Drag shows

    I think a lot depends on how "drag show" is defined. I remember as a small child I'd often go to theatrical performances that were some kind of enactment of a children's fairy tale. Often the "leading ladies" were men dressed up. It was funny - you might have a well known boxer in a fairy's...

    Why is public nudity condemned by Christians but not by the Bible Christians follow?

    For what it's worth I don't think there is anything that inherently prohibits public nudity, other than in settings where it would not be expected. To be required to walk through the streets naked would be humiliating for most people. It's not expected and not desired. I see Scriptural...

    Do you grill all year round?

    I don't grill a lot but used to attend them regularly. A friend who used to live near us would fire up the grill for any reason or no reason. We'd often have barbecues in January, where the first thing he'd do is scrape the snow off the grill before firing up the coals. I miss living near him.

    Last time you went to a show?

    A couple of friends have children in middle school, and last night my wife and I went to see their play. It was a curious storyline but given the ages of the actors and the unexpected factors (they expected the hall to be about half full but it was absolutely rammed, for instance) they did very...

    Gen Z

    It seems the whole concept of #MeToo has gotten way out of hand. Who'd have thought it? Sometimes I wonder how far you could push the limits of ignoring reality because you identify as something else. I wonder if I could earn a healthy living but identify as a poor man and claim government...

    The greatest threat

    ... combined with the stupidity of the masses. When so many people seem to think that their party is inherently right on all things and the other party is inherently wrong on all things it's hard to see a future that doesn't involve either a dictatorship or civil war somewhere down the line.

    Ash Wednesday and Repentance

    We don't hold a specific service. We have Lent themes each year but the next service other than the regular Sunday mornings for us will be Maundy Thursday. I think you meant to say that Ash Wednesday marks the start of the season of Lent?

    Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday)

    I've known it as Shrove Tuesday (aka Pancake Day) since I was a child. I wasn't aware of the tradition of confessing sins before Lent, just the idea of using up all the foody goodies on Tuesday before Lent starts on Wednesday and you don't eat such things until Easter. It's a tradition with...
