Liberal and Illiberal Atheists

Last updated on: March 9, 2015 at 9:10 pm By Gene Veith

The London Guardian has published a fascinating in-depth article about atheism, its history and its different varieties. The author, John Gray, is himself an atheist, but he subjects what he calls today’s “evangelical atheists” to a withering critique. He especially criticizes the notion assumed by so many “new atheists” that if we just get rid of religion, the rise of science will bring “liberal” values–freedom, equality, human dignity, universal benevolence, etc. Gray shows that there is no way to get...

The higher calling of corporate mission statements

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 7:42 pm By Gene Veith

0 Comments

Thanks to David Bergquist for alerting me to an article in the Wall Street Journal about how corporate mission statements are now all about “changing the world” and other idealistic and even religious motivations (including having a “mission”), rather than just making a product. This demonstrates both people’s need for a sense of vocation and their misunderstanding about what a vocation actually entails. Read an excerpt and follow the link after the jump, then consider what I have to say... Read more

Raising little narcissists

A study purports to show how certain parenting styles can turn children into narcissists. But it distinguishes between narcissism, which is bad, and “self-esteem,” which is good. (more…) Read more

Death of a conservative

Last updated on: March 9, 2015 at 8:40 pm By Gene Veith

M. Stanton Evans, one of the founders of modern conservatism, died at age 80 in Leesburg, Virginia. Read about his importance after the jump. I urge you to read his book The Theme Is Freedom, on the historical rise of political liberty. He takes what he calls “the liberal history lesson”–that the world was in darkness and slavery until the humanists and the Enlightenment cast off the religious shackles to bring freedom into the world–and utterly refutes it. In fact,... Read more

There are two organizations of people in the news today whose level of evil staggers the imagination. ISIS in Syria and Iraq is known for its beheadings, crucifixions, and massacres of the innocent. Boko Haram in Nigeria is known for kidnapping Christian school girls and using them for sex slaves, as well as for its massacres of the innocent. Now these two groups have joined forces. Boko Haram has sworn allegiance to ISIS and the Caliphate that it is proclaiming. ... Read more

The worst book ever written about Jesus?

Gonzo archaeologist Simcha Jacobovici has published a new book: The Lost Gospel: Decoding the Ancient Text that Reveals Jesus’ Marriage to Mary the Magdalene. The reviewer in The Los Angeles Times, no less (not some conservative Christian), calls it “perhaps the worst book ever written about Jesus.” From Anthony Le Donne: Here are some of the claims that Simcha Jacobovici and Barrie Wilson make: (1) a 6th century text that never once refers to Jesus or Mary Magdalene is secretly...

We saw the movie The Kingsmen this weekend, a throwback to the over-the-top James Bond style “gentlemen spies.” It was mostly entertaining, and lots of conservatives like it because the villain is a global warming fanatic who wants to exterminate the human race to save the planet. But it included a scene in which the hero goes into a crowded church and just slaughters everybody, men and women alike, the bodies heaped up on the pews and in the chancel.... Read more
