In my previous post, I promised to discuss how I believe Predestination and Free Will work together. Several chapters in my book, Solid Ground, ( "The Theological Fight of the Centuries," "Predestination and Free Will," and "Why Bad Things Happen to Good People" ) and another book titled UnReformed also presented this with more Bible…
Recent comments on my blog have caused me to realize that a misunderstanding of how predestination and free will work together can be an impediment to belief. I hesitated to attempt to address this in my blog. It's a complicated subject, and Christians have been arguing (sometimes not very nicely) about it for centuries. In…
Having been on the planet for a while, I've had the occasional experience with the police. Some of those experiences have been positive, some less so.

Don't you love second hand stores? I picked up two books 30-Second Philosophies (edited by Barry Loewer) and 30-Second Economics (edited by Donald Marron) at a local Goodwill for only a couple of dollars.

Some of my earliest blog posts (books for boys, books for girls, and books to read aloud) were my recommendations of what I consider some of the best books for children, especially if I felt those books were being forgotten as the latest Harry Potter or Rick Riordan book came out and pushed these excellent…
In my last four posts (Answering the Unanswerable Part I, Part II, Part III and Part IV), I answered questions (as best I could) from atheist Club Schadenfreude who commented on a previous post about Christianity, Atheism, and Morality. As I write this, not all of the posts have been posted yet, but Club Schadenfreude…
During the previous three posts on this blog, I have been answering comments from blogger ClubSchadenFreude. She left those comments on a previous post of mine. ClubSchadenFreude is an atheist, and you can read her blog posts on WordPress. In her comments on my post, she said (among other things) this: No reason to think…
In my previous two blog posts (Part I and Part II), I decided to do my best to answer charges from blogger ClubSchadenFreude who left several long comments on a previous post of mine. ClubSchadenFreude is an atheist, and you can read her blog posts on WordPress. In her comments on my posts, she strung…
