Cancel Culture

I’ve been inspired by a friend, and there’s going to be a bit more behind this post than will immediately be apparent (in the form of a video/audio interview, but I won’t say any more than that), but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the phenomenon of ‘cancel culture’. On one level, I fully […]

Criticism does not equate to Hate

The title is perhaps the most eloquent means of conveying the message of this post. There is a tendency to believe that criticism of one’s arguments or behaviour, or criticism of a philosophy/faith, somehow translates into hatred of that person/belief/argument. I’ve encountered this kind of argument on many occasions, regarding various subjects, but on this […]

Science and Faith

At the risk of ‘poking the bear’ I’m giving serious thought to addressing several recent science vs faith posts I’ve seen online. It’s highly doubtful I’d be able to convince the author to see sense, so why would I even make the attempt? Nonetheless I’m tempted anyway.

A Whole Bunch of Important Stuff

I was going to open this post with a statement that I don’t tend to get too political on this site, but then I laughed internally, for I actually do get quite political on this site. I guess, perhaps, the framework of how and why is a little different this time. I’ll be cross-posting this […]

The pretext for this argument (this time around) concerns cases of assault upon women at festivals. One in three women have reported being sexually harassed at these […]

‘Secular’ Science

Recently David of Theology Archaeology has been publishing a few more articles to Hub Pages. I’ll give him this – he can churn out a lot of material! The one of particular interest to me at the moment is this one. I’ll be quoting it, as I go through it.  Nothing is this world is […]

Talking Past Each Other

I’m quite happy to engage in robust conversation with various people across various fields. I’ve done so with MGTOWs and MRAs. I’ve done so with gatekeeping Star Trek fans. I’ve done so with people of various conservative religious beliefs. Gun control, sports, science, you name it, I’ve gotten stuck in. In the course of doing […]

The Slander against Same-sex Relationships P2

I dare say this move will enrage certain quarters on Blogging Theology, given how much they were stung by remarks that weren’t even aimed directly at them before, but given the on-going desire by certain parties on that site to continue and perpetuate misleading arguments and drag irrelevancies into discussions, I feel I have no […]
