How Might Christians Respond to the Question of Homosexual Marriage?

Last updated on: March 27, 2013 at 8:18 am   By Doug Hankins

Re-posted with permission; first posted at DougHankins.com 3/26/2013.

Red Equal Signs: Marriage Debate in the Facebook Era

Last updated on: March 27, 2013 at 8:00 am   By S. L. Whitesell

You may have noticed some fellow travelers on Facebook suddenly appearing as muted red equal signs on a bold red background. The Facebook equal sign is your perennial show of solidarity, wherein supporters will draw virtual inspiration from their concomitance whilst they click away the hours sharing pictures of baked goods on Pinterest. But what could possibly be so important that hundreds of your friends would replace their strategically attractive profile pictures, even for just a few days? Gay marriage... Read more

Christian Responses to Gay Marriage: CaPC Thoughts on Same-Sex Marriage

Last updated on: March 27, 2013 at 4:50 am   By Alan Noble

Over the years, CaPC has written about the issue of gay marriage in a number of ways. This is not a simple or easy issue for anyone to deal with, although at times we all feel it to be. The following is a list of the top posts we’ve written on same-sex marriage, starting with the overturning of Proposition 8 in California courts in 2012 to Rob Bell’s recent comments. Read, consider, pray, and share.   Is There a Better... Read more

Thomas Nagel: An Atheist loved by Creationists, yet hated by his Kin?

Last updated on: March 25, 2013 at 8:47 pm   By Christopher Hutton

Imagine if you created an amazing piece of work which would revolutionize the way we understand the world.  You write it in hopes of helping your fellow men see the world correctly.  But then suddenly, you find out that your friends hate your work, even detest it.  And your worst enemies have found your work and are commending it, which is pissing off your friends.  How would you react? Well, that’s the situation of philosopher and academic author Thomas Nagel.... Read more

The Simple Life Isn’t So Simple, Really

Last updated on: March 25, 2013 at 8:28 pm   By Jewel Evans

Almost weekly something new pops up with tips and tricks to help simplify life. A quick Internet search of “simplify your life” will yield article after article full of clues—some easy, on the surface (i.e., less clutter in your home) to more challenging, in depth (i.e, quit your anger). I subscribe to a number of magazines, Real Simple being one of them, that features at least one article a month covering this very topic. Whether it be simplifying your office space,... Read more

Each Tuesday in Music Matters, Matthew Linder explores the intersections of music, culture and faith. “All clichés are true. The years really do speed by. Life really is as short as they tell you it is. And there really is a God–so do I buy that one? If all the other clichés are true…” David Bowie Last week, Jimi Hendrix reigned in the number two spot on the Billboard 200 and this week that position is filled by David Bowie’s new... Read more
