One of the Christian charities in my local area is a for-profit enterprise. They are for-profit because if they were registered as a non-profit they wouldn’t be allowed to do what they do in the name of Christ. The services they offer and the requirements to receive those services are …

This is part of a series. See the index here. Hypergamy is properly defined as “marrying up” and polygamy is properly defined as “marrying multiple people.” But these terms can also both be applied more generally to any romantic relationship, including dating above one’s station (i.e. hypergamy) or dating multiple …

In “A Matter of Trust,” I pointed out how untrustworthy people are. If you don’t possess expertise on a topic, it becomes quite challenging to know who you can trust. Yet, you must be able to trust certain people, because no one man can know everything they need to know. …

Two independent essays were written at the same time. One by myself, and one by Bruce Charlton. Take the time to read them both. First is my essay (with some edits): Second is Bruce Charlton’s essay: Faith in Christ is a focus on what is good, what is positive. It …

The reality is that I’m just here to ruminate on issues. I’d like to debate, but this is an unrealistic expectation: So, instead, I am here just to spend time thinking deeply about issues, mulling them over. There is good reason for this. Consider the short essay here:
