“Those who want the government have the right to kill blasphemers are also asking for the government to have the right to kill those who rebuke their blasphemies.”
Judi Christophersen, R.I.P.
Kjell and Judi began attending Christ Church during the early years, back when we were still meeting in the body and paint shop, and I believe that this really does make them OG Kirkers. They represent ...
Levels of Light, Levels of Guilt
“Ultrasound technology was just coming in Nancy and I were expecting our third, and the level of technology at that point, speaking of smudge, was not all that great. The ultrasound image looked like a bad xerox copy of a black and white photo of a distant galaxy. But today the images are strikingly good, and you can even see that your son has his grandfather’s dimples. In short, the ‘clump of cells’ argument has now been revealed for what it is, a murderous lie, and it put a lot of people in the position of having to sin against far more light than they were yet prepared to sin against.”
Virgins and Volcanoes, p. 82
Christ, a First Table Convict
“And we should never forget that Christ was convicted on a first table offense. This should give us pause, not because it should never be applied, but rather because of how easy it is to be misapplied.”

The Ultimate Point
“Because we are smashmouth incrementalists and not of a mind to share Jerusalem with the Jebusites, we must never forget that our final objective has to remain a total ban on all human abortion.”
Virgins and Volcanoes, p. 80
Sexual Sanity
“Assume with all the cool kids that your grandparents’ sexual mores were infra dig (as the kids say today) and terminally unhip, and the end results will be dottier than a three-day convention of Dalmatian owners.”
Virgins and Volcanoes, p. 78
Reactionaries and Their Discontents
Introduction: In times of turbulent churn, one of the things you can usually anticipate is even more turbulence, especially from young men. Their reactions are often predictable, and therefore rational in one sense, while their selected scapegoat targets, upon which they vent, are often arbitrary and capricious. In other words, you can look at the …
RPM Running Hot
“The people running the world are fools. Now many of them, no doubt, did well on their GREs. The tachometer in their little red convertible of a brain can bounce nicely at the right side of the dial. But that does not change the fact that they are barreling down the wrong road late at night, a dark and stormy night actually, and the bridge right up ahead of them is out. Once they launch the whole red operation off the end of that collapsed bridge, the tachometer, such as it is, becomes largely irrelevant. One does not glance at it anymore. One has somehow lost interest.”
Virgins and Volcanoes, pp. 77-78
