Being Good “For Nothing” — Does That Make Atheist Ethics Better Than Christian?
Get the picture? Here’s the challenge: Atheistic morality is allegedly better than Christianity because Christians are looking for a reward for our goodness, while atheists are good “for nothing.” (Again, I am not saying “good for nothing.”) There are three parts to that statement: Christian goodness is motivated by a hoped-for...
“Too Stupid? Try Religion” — Skeptics Dehumanizing Christians
This month at BreakPoint I write about skeptics dehumanizing Christians. Are you a Christian? Then there’s something dreadfully wrong with you.

… I’ve left my series on “Sexism Among the Isms?” hanging for a while. I haven’t forgotten it’s waiting to be continued. It’s been weeks since I’ve been in a good situation to do the kind of study the next posts deserve, and some of the books I need...
Is Christianity Sexist? 1: Definitions
Recently I proposed that sexism is a human problem, not specific to atheism or to in fact to anything-ism. At the same time I suggested that atheism had nothing to offer by way of solving the sexism problem. No one disagreed, and I think there are both empirical and...
A Vision For Marriage In Our Culture: Ten Essentials
What will it take to recover marriage in our culture? Do we have a vision for marriage in our culture? I wrote recently on “Ten Reasons We’re Losing On Gay ‘Marriage.'” Today I want to lay out a vision for victory on marriage, in the form of ten essentials....
