Faith Is A Right, Not A Theocracy, Senator Schumer

Posted by Connor on July 24th, 2006

In yet another showing of liberal dogmatism, Senator Charles E. Schumer said this last week, on the Senate floor, regarding people of faith: “There is a group of people of deep faith. I respect that faith. I’ve been in enough inner city black churches, working class Catholic parishes, rural Methodist houses of worship and small [...]

High Gas Prices

Posted by Connor on July 24th, 2006

According to the Energy Information Administration, the average cost of gasoline per gallon in the U.S. increased 1.4 cents over the past week to $3 a gallon. The average national price for regular unleaded gasoline increased 71 cents from one year ago and is quickly approaching the record $3.07 set last September, when Hurricane Katrina [...]

Ann Coulter on Evolution in the Classroom

Posted by Connor on July 24th, 2006

I’m reading (along with nine other books) Godless by Ann Coulter. Love her or hate her, she raises some dang good points in this book. I’m on chapter eight right now, and thought I’d share a couple passages that resonated with me: Even if evolution were true, it wouldn’t disprove God. God has performed more [...]

Brittany McComb Part 2 and the War on Religion

Posted by Connor on July 24th, 2006

Last month I wrote about Brittany McComb. Today a friend just referred me to this letter to the editor in a Las Vegas paper (home of Ms. McComb). The letter is very well written, and raises excellent points. Some are as follows:

Unitary Executive Theory—read: “Load of Crap”

Posted by Connor on July 24th, 2006

Remember in fifth grade when you learned about how our government works, and how our government is strong and moves forward because of a system of “checks and balances”? Your fifth grade teacher would be appalled to learn about a loophole used by Presidents today to circumvent those checks and balances. It’s called the “Unitary [...]

River Ribble and a Small World

Posted by Connor on July 23rd, 2006

Today in Elders Quorum, we studied lesson 14 in the Teachings of Wilford Woodruff manual, titled “Remembering Our Spiritual Heritage”. During the course of the lesson, the brother teaching shared an experience that one of his ancestors had had. He said that his ancestor was the first one to be baptized in Europe, by Heber [...]

The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America is the latest attempt to promote a sovereignty-supressing one-world government. The SPP will erase our borders with Canada and Mexico. Wait, what’s that? You haven’t heard of the SPP? You haven’t seen anything in the news? And you think that’s an accident? The SPP was a joint [...]

From The Intelligence Summit: Iran’s Hizbollah, which claims links to the Lebanese group of the same name, said on Tuesday it stood ready to attack Israeli and U.S. interests worldwide. “We have 2,000 volunteers who have registered since last year,” said Iranian Hizbollah’s spokesman Mojtaba Bigdeli, speaking by telephone from the central seminary city of [...]

Secret Combinations by Mark Hudson

Posted by Connor on July 18th, 2006

I came across the following article today by Mark Hudson, who is running for congress against Republican incumbent Rob Bishop. It is an excellent article, which summarizes and reiterates many of the items I’ve discussed in recent posts. Please, please, please read it. Secret Combinations: What Are They and Why Must We Know About Them? [...]

Satisficing, Complacency, Apathy, and the Gospel

Posted by Connor on July 17th, 2006

The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.—Plato This gnomic quote eloquently expresses the consequence of apathy. While it largely alludes to the political realm, my post will focus on the religious realm (though I seem to have a knack for intertwining the two). I believe that one of [...]

“Wisdom”

Posted by Connor on July 16th, 2006

In recent weeks I have come across several articles, blog posts, and websites that seek to tear down the faith of another. I don’t understand this at all. I don’t see what benefit there is.
