On Tuesday night, I debated atheist Christopher Hitchens, author of God is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, at Virginia Commonwealth University. The topic was, “Does God Exist?” Thanks be to God (and to you for your prayers) because I don’t think the debate could have gone much better. There were several atheists who approached […]
George Weigel writing for NewsWeek points out what we’ve known as a scientific fact for decades: that human life begins at conception and any other suggested point for its beginning is arbitrary: http://www.newsweek.com/id/155564/output/print.

The moral argument. A […]
Some atheists, such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, insist that morality is simply the product of evolution. Common moral sensibilities (Don’t murder, rape, steal, etc.) help ensure our evolutionary survival. There are number of problems with this view: Rape may enhance the survival of the species, but does that make rape good? Should we […]
Both political parties have their problems, but I thought this was brilliant. http://www.townhall.com/funnies/cartoonist/MikeShelton/2007/09/1
