Studying God’s creation through modern science is in the spirit of Proverbs 25:2.

When I recorded a podcast with for my Substack, I did not expect for The New York Times to notice it and write about it. I certainly did not expect it to trigger mass psychogenic illness on the dissident right.
The responses have generally been utterly hysterical and consist of people insisting our podcast was part of some elaborate, we…

I'm not sure when it happened, but there was a great shift, and everything changed. Most days I feel a sense of dread and sadness, even if it's just in the background. It took me a while to realize it's the grief of a future lost.
I grew up in the '80s poor and from a broken family, but I remember no sense of dread. I lived in perpetual h…

Dissident right people are the biggest whimps and hypocrites in politics. These people will go after your family and try to get you fired, but the moment you criticize them they will scream bloody murder and clutch their pearls. They are the dimwit bully who gets punched in the face once and runs home crying. It cannot be stressed enough how much contempt they deserve.

If you're looking for a good group to donate to as we get toward the end of Lent, I suggest looking over the Charity Reports by the Lepanto Institute. They do a great job listing which charities to avoid, why, and which ones you can trust:

I don’t really like debunking things. I enjoy good stories and pious legends. I even think they’re still important when they’re found to be historically untrue, since they tell us something about the faithful. (Fiction is not false. That’s a misunderstanding of both fiction and falsehood.)
Latest casualty: the story of Leo XIII’s vision of Jesus and the devil which allegedly prompted the creation of the St. Michael prayer. It has no basis in fact. It doesn’t even seem to appear prior to the 1930s.
I own a building in Washington state that rents to a preschool. (MGP is my rep) You can't use the same sink for food prep as you do for washing hands, for example, so we had to install an extra sink. When we were going through the permitting process to get ready to open, the building department rep made a careless mistake that cost us an extra $10,000 and two months. They would sometimes give us incorrect information, we would follow their instructions, and then the inspector would tell us it w…
I have experience with getting wrong answers from junior employees in a building department. That is absolutely infuriating. If I act on information I received from the government agency, and then they come back and tell me, "whoops, we gave you bad info, guess you have to re-do the work", they should bear the f***ing cost for their mistake. I get why that kind of experience turns people into radically anti-regulation libertarians or Republicans.
The error is in assuming Republicans will or even want to make it better.
I'm applying lessons learned from experience.
you are stereotyping the whole republican party based on your experiences.
It's the same as Republicans say all Democrats hate America because there's a fringe of anti-western elites that also happen to be democrats.
Yes there are bad faith actors on both sides. But the vast majority of democrats AND republicans do love this country and are trying to make it better, they just disagree on the best way to do so.
It's not a stereotype, it's an evaluation of their policies as openly expressed by the top leaders in the party.
