Comes now word that Germany has (perfectly legal) barnyard brothels, where pimps get to rent out the livestock for sexual purposes. We are not surprised to find that Scripture prohibits this kind of thing. Adam searched for a helper suitable to him among the animals, and there were none. God established His image in male …
Reductio Ad Infernum
A college in Washington is allowing a man who thinks he is a woman (where? down in his heart!) to make free use of the women’s locker room. So although he is a male, his internal confusions qualify him as one of those T things that the progressives love to go on about when they …
Bluestocking Feminism
Rachel Held Evans was recently on the Today show, promoting her new book A Year of Biblical Womanhood. Rather than address the whole stunt (designed to see if, in the grand tradition of Rocky III, this particular cash cow has any milk left), I thought I would just riff off one thing she did with …
Ghoulish Gotcha
In a panicked attempt to deflect attention away from an increasingly desperate president, the Fourth Estate is trying to interest us in the purported gaffes of two Republican candidates — first Akin, and now Mourdock — on the subject of pregnancy that is the result of rape. So let’s talk about that for a minute. …
Limbering Up His Bow
The heart of sin is lawlessness. This means that sin desires to recognize no will outside of its own. There is only one will, and Nietzsche is his prophet. The cleanest shot to this result is, of course, atheism, but to think that this is the only way to get to that result is to …
Father-Driven Adoption
We live in polarized times, and it shows up in many issues. One of the unfortunate consequences of this is that if you say that a particular course of action might have any negative consequences anywhere, you must be against that course of action. You must be an enemy of it. If you think home …
A Tall Tree and a Short Rope
[Trigger warning: strident feminism pretending not to be] Sarah Moon writes here about complementarianism’s “ugly relationship with rape.” She poses two questions of us bad people, and they are as follows — first, how do we define rape? And secondly, what do we propose to do about it? Okay. I would define rape as having …
The World’s Largest Daisy Chain
There is an argument against homosexual marriage that I have offered from time to time which has been met with a strange sort of incredulity. It came up again the other night during the Q&A after my debate with Clarke Cooper, executive director of the Log Cabin Republicans, and so I thought I should jot …
Reading the Kid on the Floor
Ministers preach from the Bible, and so it is not surprising that the enemy wants to do what he can to dilute the source of all true ministerial authority. This is how we drifted from “thus saith the Lord” to “it seems to me.” Nowhere is this more evident than on the subject of feminism. …
A Silent God Would Be Silent on Rights
So I have made a distinction between certain negative rights (leave me alone in these specified areas) and positive rights (free chocolate milk for everybody). But surely it is more than how it is stated, whether negatively or positively. Couldn’t a master of circumlocution cast gay rights as a “leave me alone” issue? The answer …
