2022 Forecast: Roe v. Wade Will Remain The Carrot Dangled In Front Of Conservative Christians

I’m not a gambling man, but if I had some money to put on whether the current conservative-leaning Supreme Court of the United States is going to overturn Roe v. Wade, I would put on not likely. It’ll be a close vote, 5-4, but it will remain in law. Mainly the landmark case won’t beContinue reading “2022 Forecast: Roe v. Wade Will Remain The Carrot Dangled In Front Of Conservative Christians”

Are We Becoming Too Desensitized To Religious-Related Crimes?

Let me preface this by saying this is not a declaration of guilt or an accusation against Joel Osteen for the reported $600,000 that was found in his Lakewood Church earlier this month. These monies were reported stolen in 2014. Osteen, who I really don’t care for, may not have one clue of how itContinue reading “Are We Becoming Too Desensitized To Religious-Related Crimes?”

The Religious Right Has Become Everything Its Hated

The iconic line from the Christopher Nolan Batman movie The Dark Knight has District Attorney Harvey Dent say, “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” For the most part, the Christian religious right has done this. At one point, they remained silent on politics. During the CivilContinue reading “The Religious Right Has Become Everything Its Hated”

Religious Themed Movies Play Up Negative Stereotypes

At 43 years old, I’ve never lived anywhere but the “Bible Belt” even though I’m left wondering why that belt is getting so much bigger. And over the last 25-30 years, more religious based movies have become more popular for all the wrong reasons. About 20 years ago, you could got to any house inContinue reading “Religious Themed Movies Play Up Negative Stereotypes”

Abortion Bills Are About Overthrowing Roe V. Wade

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott seems to be in a pissing contest with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on who can be the biggest asshole during a time when people want real leaders. Recently, the six-weeks abortion ban bill went into law in Texas. To say that people like Abbott and the Texas legislators who proposed andContinue reading “Abortion Bills Are About Overthrowing Roe V. Wade”

Stopping Covid Means Stopping Bad Habits

I recently saw in the news that a high school in a nearby town has over 100 cases of Covid-19 and the district is planning on switching to distance learning. I thought we’d at least make it through September but it looks like many schools may switch to distance learning before Labor Day Weekend. ItContinue reading “Stopping Covid Means Stopping Bad Habits”

Support And Loyalty Are Two Different Things In Politics

Now, that Andrew Cuomo is leaving the governor seat of New York amid sexual harassment claims, it should show the level of support versus loyalty in politics. I think the problem a lot of people, mostly in the south, feel that the 2020 election was rigged or stolen is because they’ve misunderstood advertisements for reality.Continue reading “Support And Loyalty Are Two Different Things In Politics”

Unconditional Love With Conditions Is Really Control And Abuse

I recently heard someone on TikTok say that one of the problems with organized Christianity is that unconditional love with conditions is not love. Now, I know a lot of people will criticize that but I think social media has exposed more fake Christians than we’d like to see. I don’t doubt that people haveContinue reading “Unconditional Love With Conditions Is Really Control And Abuse”
