Transgender Holy Days Encroach

March 31, 2024, Easter Sunday, coincided with transgender visibility day. The White House Press Secretary stressed it was merely a coincidence the two days overlapped this year. Yes, that’s correct, but it is not out-of-bounds to wonder if the proximity to Easter is by design. Since the new transgender observance day was established in 2009,Continue reading “Transgender Holy Days Encroach”

The Legacy of Jon Stewart: Avoiding Debate

The Search for Meaning: 1989 vs 2024

Standards I cannot alter God’s standard to suit myself. It stands aboveContinue reading “The Search for Meaning: 1989 vs 2024”

Eight months ago, a Nashville shooter killed six in a shooting spree in a Tennessee Christian school. guns-and-transgenderism-it-is-all-about-the-narrative. The shooter was transgender and the targets were Christians, a narrative difficult to spin.

Supreme Court Says (Again) You Don’t Have to Bake the Cake

Guns and Transgenderism. It’s All About the Narrative.

She said she wanted to die and knew she would die that day (I refer to this person by her actual sex, not by the preferred one). She left behind a manifesto to explain everything, butContinue reading “Guns and Transgenderism. It’s All About the Narrative.”

The Normalization of Delusion

Update June 2023: I first published this post July 2022 following the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the decision to affirm prayer at public school football.
