Reclaiming Our Understanding of Individual Rights and Liberty
You can be a citizen of the United States without being an American! As difficult as it may seem for many to understand or -- better yet -- accept, it is true. This is because being an "American" has nothing to do with this nation. When this nation was born, it was not seen as … Continue reading IMPORTANT JUXTAPOSITIONS: Citizen vs American
This may be from my blog dedicated to Scriptural World View, but it could just as easily have been posted here, under “Lessons in Logic,” or “Principles of Natural Law.”
Before I begin, I want to remind readers that this blog is dedicated to the effort to see and understand the things of this world through a Biblical worldview. This takes it for granted that readers have read the Bible or, at the very least, have an extensive knowledge of the Scriptures. Next, I want to make it perfectly clear that I am using the ‘NAZI reference’ because — hopefully — it is a clear enough example that most rational, truth-seeking and lawful people will agree that there were no ‘good’ NAZI’s.

In this post, I will argue for the way the government can properly do this without violating the Principles of Natural Law. The first thing we need … Continue reading APPLIED NATURAL LAW: The Proper Role of Govt. in Public Institutions

As I understand the idea (from reading the works of self-described secular humanists), the theory encapsulates a body of thinkers who embrace human reason and mankind's ability to perfect himself -- especially society -- through reason, especially through … Continue reading APPLIED LOGIC: The Notion of ‘Law’ and Its Implications for Secular Humanism
In my first post in this series, POINTS TO PONDER: Does the Progressive Agenda Violate the ‘Separations Clause?’, I attempt to help readers see that the Progressive movement is religious in nature: one just has to understand the roots of Progressive ideology before one begins to see how this is true. In this post, I will … Continue reading POINTS TO PONDER: The ‘Conspiracy’ We Know as the ‘Progressive’ Movement
