“The free speech rights of the average nonbeliever would be far more secure in a Christian republic than they currently are in this epistemic fun house of ours. If you want free speech protected, not absolutely, but fairly and generally, in a way consistent with decency and good order, then you should ask the Christians. They know how to do it. Secular pagans don’t know how to do it and, moreover, have no desire to do it. It is not one of their values.”
Now All They Need is a Minister, and to Walk Into a Bar
Honoring the Image
“We respect man because we adore God. We honor man because we worship God. When we go the humanist route and honor man because we honor man, we find at the end of the day that our paltry sense of honor, suspended from its own sky hook, bolted up there to nothing whatever, is not all that distinct from dishonor. The entire human race is nothing more than the foam on the surface of an infinite ocean of chaos.”
Virgins and Volcanoes, pp. 50-51
With Roaming Warlords
“Without the pervasive influence of the gospel in society, freedom will collapse into form only, or form will deteriorate into anarchy only and you will have the free speech equivalent of a failed state.”
Internally Revealed
“An essential part of natural revelation or natural law is found within us. God does not just place His letters out there in the natural world, He also places His literacy in our hearts. His letters are out there, His literacy is in here.”
Virgins and Volcanoes, p. 50

Letter to the Editor: Interesting argument; but maybe a bit sophist?I’m not a full preterist because of passages like you use to make a standard argument against preterism under the solipsism ...
Compatibility Issues
“If religious liberty were an app, secularism is not a platform that supports it. They respect our right to speak our minds in the same way that kidnappers respect their victims’ attempts to make themselves heard outside the car trunk.”
A Rape of Nature
“Sex reassignment surgeries are to sexual health what strip mining is to landscape architecture. Every sex change operation is a rape. It is not a rape of the patient, who consented, but it is a rape of nature, which did not consent, a rape of natural law, which does not consent, a rape of the Tao, which will never consent, and an attempted rape of God’s law/word, which will someday soon descend and execute judgment on the woolly scalps of those who perpetrate such crimes (Ps. 68:21).”
Virgins and Volcanoes, p. 48
Rice-Paper Thick
“As secularism has begun to function in terms of its own premises, we can readily see that their tolerance for views other than their own is rice-paper thick.”
That’s One Way
