The following is my attempt to help people think a little more clearly on the issues around marriage, and how it should be understood.

What is marriage?

Have you ever thought about beauty? I mean really sat down and thought about what it is, where it comes from, and why it matters? I never really did until recently, so you are let of the hook, but now let us reason together.

You most likely have heard it said: “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, a sentiment that I ultimately reject. Now I do not rule out people’s preferences, but what it ultimately boils down to is, the intrinsic beauty of something, is not dependent on what people feel or think about it.

I was recently challenged in regards to my beliefs as a Christian. Now I think those challenges are worthy of a response, which I will get to in another blog. However, it should be noted that Christianity isn’t the only worldview out there making claims. The Atheists cannot just sit back and sling arrows at Christianity and think they are immune from challenges themselves. In fact for Atheism to be true, it must not only show Christianity to be false (every religion as well), but it must also then put up its own evidence for its philosophy of reality. Both Atheism and Religion make claims on reality, and they both cannot be right, perhaps wrong, but not both right at the same time in the same way.

It seems that Christianity is usually the blunt of jokes, criticisms, questions, and attacks, so that the Christian is usually just on the defensive. However, like I said before this shouldn’t be the case. The Evolutionist / Atheists believes some things about reality, and must be able to defend his or her view. It is not enough to say Christianity is wrong thus I am right, there must actually be evidence put forth on the Atheists side to explain the difficult questions in life. So I will start out with some of my own challenges to Atheism / Evolution which require their response, and then later I will respond to the challenges that were made to me. Please note that there are issues in life that must be explained and the view that explains it the best and simplest is probably the most accurate view of reality.

There has been much discussion about real diamonds vs fake diamonds and which, one should buy. I know many people who hate real diamonds and think them over priced, and not worth the investment. My discussion here is not meant to rationalize my views as much as it is intended to lay down some clear thinking on the subject for you to think about. First let us discuss why you shouldn’t buy your girl a fake diamond with out her knowledge, and then we will discuss why you should buy a real diamond. Of course this is only for people who have girls who really want real diamonds, I know that many do not care at all, so you might as well just tell them right from the start that it is fake. But if they say they don’ t care, do they really mean it?

1. She will find out! It realy is quite simple, she will find out I assure you. If you think that you can keep a life long secret, anyone you told, and all the jewlers in the world, you are delusional; WAKE UP! Hope that helped . (continue reading…)

How many of you have been broken up with over text messaging? Or how about email? Our culture has become obsessed with texting, but whats wrong with that?

I would argue that texting does have some benefits, however it can have some costly consequences to culture and human interaction. As texting becomes more and more prevalent as a primary means of communication i predict that you will see more and more Text message break ups.
