  • Repairing America’s Three-Legged Stool

    Repairing America’s Three-Legged Stool0

    In the past four months, a friend has occasionally sent me Bible verses via email, words intended to console me when I was feeling down. Inspired by these gifts, I recently decided to begin reading the Bible for a few minutes every day, hoping for uplift and insight in the midst of our current dark

    The Systemic Racism Argument Ignores Free Will0

    In college I took a course on debating and argument. Well, to say I took the course may be a stretch; I dropped it after a few days after pushing back against the politics of my classmates and receiving this assertion from my instructor in response: “Institutional racism is a fact whether or not I
