A Case for the Magic Money Machine

Last updated on: May 11, 2013 at 11:30 pm By Christian Piatt

I’m no economist, so I’m expecting that someone who understands global commerce better than I will set me straight. But until then… I, like a lot of people, am concerned about American foreign debt. It threatens to compromise the overall value of our currency and is mortgaging the future of multiple generations to come. We’ve embarked on an untenable lifestyle no politician interested in re-election will press us to give up, and we show no signs of abating our appetites.... Read more

If Cheerleaders Don’t Convert You, Chuck Norris Will

Last updated on: May 10, 2013 at 5:29 pm By Christian Piatt

You know, I always hedge when people ask me where I’m from, because the second I tell them I was born and raised in Texas, all kinds of stereotypes pop up in the conversation. Yes, I can read. No, I’m not a Republican. Yes, I’m a Christian. No, not that kind. No, I don’t ride horses, own a cow, oil derek or know JR Ewing personally. And no, I do not think Texas should become its own republic. But then,... Read more

Holy Rollers and Drunk Disciples

Last updated on: May 7, 2013 at 6:03 pm By Christian Piatt

Bible Cliff’s Notes (My dog ate my Bible!) Gospel John 14:8-17, 25-27 Phillips still doesn’t get that Jesus and God “the Father” are one and the same. But Jesus gets over being annoyed pretty quickly and assures him that he (and we) can and will do even greater things than Jesus when we do them in God’s name. We’re endowed with the Holy Spirit, or the “spirit of truth,” to keep us on the path that Jesus laid out for... Read more

Rights, Power, Sexuality and the Church

Last updated on: May 7, 2013 at 5:11 pm By Christian Piatt

I found an interesting pair of articles on Huffington Post’s religion page today. First, there was a story about Newt Gingrich, who claims that, by giving equal rights to LGBT people, we are in turn denying the rights of religious organizations. Then in the second story, the Catholic Church in Ireland has threatened to excommunicate any lawmakers who vote contrary to Church teaching in an upcoming parliamentary vote on abortion. In the Gingrich story, the primary issue supposedly is that... Read more

On April 10, 2013, the Socratic Society at Oregon State University invited Todd Miles and Christian Piatt to debate on the topic; “Hell and the Love of God.” Dr. Miles took the position that hell, as a place of eternal, conscious suffering, was consistent with a God of love. Mr. Piatt took the position that a loving God was not consistent with the contemporary Christian notion of such a fate. Following is the portion where Miles and Piatt Cross-examine each... Read more
