Christians Caving to “Trans”-Cultists’ Language Rules

Posted on November 26, 2019 by David E Smith

While theologians Dr. Denny Burk, Dr. Robert A. J. Gagnon, Dr. John Piper, and Pastor Douglas Wilson say Christians should not use incorrect pronouns when referring to people who pretend to be the sex they aren’t, increasing numbers of purportedly theologically orthodox Christians believe Christians should use them. They believe that refusing to use “preferred pronouns” will result in “trans”-identifying persons severing relationships. And to “woke” theologians and pastors, maintaining relationships supersedes truth.

Christian capitulation to sin will always be accompanied by theological rationalizations that will sound superficially reasonable. In a recent episode of his “Ask Me Anything” podcast, JD …

“Kindness comes from altruism, not from seeking divine reward.”
“We are here to challenge you to think for yourself.”

The Left’s Problem with Logic

Posted on June 24, 2014 by David E Smith

The Left has either a problematic inability to think analogically and logically or a Machiavellian willingness to pretend they don’t.

When I suggest that the Left’s recasting of marriage as an institution centrally constituted by subjective experiences of erotic and romantic love leads ineluctably to the legalization of incestuous marriage, the Left says I claimed homosexuality per se is …
