No COVID-19 Outdoors

Last updated on: April 16, 2021 at 7:56 pm By Kermit Zarley

In writing nonfiction books, authors thinks a lot about trying to be accurate and truthful since such screeds are so permanent. In my last book, Moses Predicted COVID-19, published July 1, 202o, I was even more focused on that because I was writing about a novel (=new) coronavirus that experts were just learning about since its inception in late 2019. Plus, I didn’t have access to libraries since they were closed due to the pandemic shutdown. But I have been... Read more

Should Liberty University Sue Its Former President Jerry Falwell Jr.?

Last updated on: April 16, 2021 at 3:35 pm By Kermit Zarley

Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, is the largest evangelical school on the planet. Yesterday, it filed a lawsuit against its former president, Jerry Falwell Jr., seeking $10 M in damages. Jerry Jr. is the son of deceased Jerry Falwell Sr., a famous Baptist pastor who founded both this school and the socio-political, but now long defunct, Moral Majority. The situation with Jerry Jr. appears to be anything but moral. Last year, Jerry Falwell Jr. resigned his presidency in the midst... Read more

Congress Is Now Considering Slavery Reparations

Last updated on: April 15, 2021 at 10:40 am By Kermit Zarley

In the midst of the growing racial tensions and constant eruptions of alleged police brutality against especially African-Americans in the U.S., the House Judiciary Committee yesterday voted to recommend for the first time the creation of a commission to consider monetary reparations to Blacks along with a “national apology” for the United States’ history of slavery. This is a necessary movement that has been a long time coming. I think its objective eventually will be accomplished. Some White Americans, especially some... Read more

Matsuyama Wins the Masters

Last updated on: April 11, 2021 at 8:14 pm By Kermit Zarley

Twenty-nine year old Hideki Matsuyama shot a one-over par 73 round today to win the Masters by one stroke over 24-year old Will Zalatoris with a 10-under par total of 278. It was his sixth win on the PGA Tour and his first major. Hideki thereby became the first Japanese male to win a major championship in professional golf. It will no doubt be a very historic occasion in Japanese sports if not Asian sports as well. For, Japan is... Read more

The Religious Creed of Benjamin Franklin

Last updated on: April 11, 2021 at 10:55 am By Kermit Zarley

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) was one of the foremost founders of the United States of America. He was born in Boston to devout Christian parents who were Puritans. As members of its famous Old South Church, they embraced Calvinist theology and so taught their children. Calvinism emphasizes divine sovereignty in human affairs to the extent that all acts in the universe, thus all human actions, are preordained, predetermined by God so that there is no such thing as the freedom of...

Hideki Matsuyama Leads the Masters

Last updated on: April 10, 2021 at 7:45 pm By Kermit Zarley

PGA Tour player Hideki Matsuyama golfed his ball brilliantly at Augusta National Golf Course today in shooting a seven-under par 65 to take a four-stroke lead into the final round tomorrow at the coveted Masters. Hideki finished at an 11-under par total of 205 for three rounds. No Japanese player has ever won any of the four major championships in professional golf, of which the Masters in one of them. So, Matsuyama–who is Japanese and does not speak English but... Read more

Justin Rose Still Leads the Masters

Last updated on: April 10, 2021 at 12:55 pm By Kermit Zarley

Justin Rose–a Brit with a perfect golf swing who the 2013 U.S. Open champion–still leads the Masters today after two rounds with an even par 72 today. It goes with his blistering 7-under par round of 65 yesterday in which he led the field on a tough day by four strokes. He had started poorly, two over par after seven holes, and then went nine under par his last eleven holes, which may be some kind of record at the... Read more

Hypocrite Trump on Boycotting Products

Last updated on: April 6, 2021 at 7:33 pm By Kermit Zarley

Earlier today, I posted about red states passing bills in their legislatures that restrict voter laws based on “the big lie” that ex-President Donald Trump and many Republicans have been foisting onto the American public that the 2020 presidential election was a fraud and that states laws needed reform to prevent this from happening again, all of which is quite untrue and that President Joe Biden won the election fair and square. Saturday, Trump sounded off about this. He told... Read more

Republicans Continue the Big Lie with Voter Suppression Laws

Last updated on: April 6, 2021 at 5:58 am By Kermit Zarley

Some red states—having a Republican governor and a Republican majority legislature—are changing their voting laws to benefit Republicans and thereby disenfranchise Democratic voters. Democrats and others are complaining that these new laws restrict voter rights. Republicans are basing these new voter laws on their notion, still propagated by former Republican President Donald Trump, that the 2020 presidential election was a “fraud,” a “hoax, and that the election was “stolen.” They argue that voter laws must be changed to prevent such...

Historian Bart Ehrman on Life After Death

Last updated on: April 4, 2021 at 10:08 pm By Kermit Zarley

Dr. Bart Ehrman is a leading historian on Christian Origins even though he is an agnostic. I’ve met him due to both of us being members of the Society of Biblical Literature. Ehrman graduated at Moody, Princeton, and is a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Since today is Easter, The Los Angeles Times has op-ed by Dr. Ehrman entitled “How Christians came to believe in heaven, hell and the immortal soul.” Ehrman begins this op-ed by correctly...
