A Side Bar Before I go forward with this story of the history of western thought, I must reiterate the purpose of my writing this series. I have only one purpose and that is to speak to those who are disillusioned, for whom the present state of Christianity no longer makes sense. I do not…

A good question was raised in comments, which I think deserves an elevation to the main content of this blog. The question was from a thoughtful Catholic friend, who wondered if my low esteem of the Dark Ages reflects the typical anti-Catholic bias of evangelicalism. It is true that even the term “Dark Ages” has…

One of the most common reasons that people leave Christianity is the inability to have intelligent discussions about hard questions and the anti-intellectual nature of the religion. But this has not always been that way. The human mind is a beautiful thing. In the Christian Bible, Genesis 1:27 it is written, “So God created mankind in his…

Defining Truth I have done this many times on this blog; however, once again, I must define “Truth” because it is one of the most abused words. Many blogs, podcasts, and YouTube channels use the word “truth” in their title, but with a different meaning. Religious sites use it to represent their dogmas. Political websites…

Introduction In 1966, American psychologist Abraham Maslow said, “I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.” My nail is the thirty-thousand-foot view of the grand flow of philosophical viewpoints that determine how each culture thinks.

It does not matter if you are a Christian or not, the Christian subculture has had a significant impact on the present predicament of the American culture. Donald Trump could not have influenced American politics or culture (beyond a silly reality show) without the help of American evangelicals and conservative Catholics. It was reported that…
