Show Notes: The Broken Window Fallacy: if I throw a brick through someones window, is that an economic stimulus? what if I throw …
Introduction: In the aftermath of Monday’s post on Rachael Denhollander, when my Twitter feed filled up with the customary vitriol, I thought that two things really had to be done. The first is that we need to explain and understand the depth of this animus, which can only be accounted for in terms of complicity, …
The Boz: Re: Denhollander and Boz I’d like to see you apply the principles of rules-of-evidence and due-process to your statements against Boz’s previous execution of his office (such as it is, and wherever he got it) and character.

The spirit you have toward God is not turned off when you face your fellow man. Your spirit in dealing …
How old are you? I am sixty-four. A number of years ago, Christianity Today ran a feature on you entitled “The Controversialist.” Have you always been a controversialist? No, not at all. For about two-thirds of my life, it was relatively free of controversy. And in the last third of my life—where that has not …
Hollow Soul Bullets: I do believe this is one of the finest commentaries on the issues surrounding the ongoing epidemic of public school shootings that I have been privileged to read.
