Joe Rogan owned by a pro-life guest...

Babylon bee Founder Seth Dillon defending the pro-life position on Joe Rogan's Show. Its good to see coherent a pro-life defence represented in popular media; so often we get politicians offering incoherent policies. I honestly think that this is how we win the argument. The pro-abortion position is totally incoherent. On the March 4 Life I have found that the Pro-abortion activists screaming abuse at us never want to engage in discussion; they know their position makes no sense.  Ultimately, to advocate for abortion is to advocate for killing people. You have to say that killing some people is OK if they are weak/helpless/dependent/unplanned/unable to defend themselves/ <----One of these reasons....But ultimately you have to accept it is OK to kill people in some circumstances. We need to expose the logical fallacy of abortion.

A Time of Crisis

Everywhere, Catholics who love the faith & are usually dedicated to evangelising efforts are turning their attention to the growing scandals in the Church.

These things rarely go well on Twitter which is not the best medium for nuanced debate. With that in mind, I always try to avoid taking a position & try & listen to alternative explanations.

Ralph Martin makes some great points in this clip from a longer interview with Matt Fradd. What Ralph says here is BASIC CHRISTIAN TEACHING - it is extraordinary to see how far away we have come away from that basic message. The default situation of the human race is damnation: this is why we need to change our ways, this is why Jesus died on the Cross. God doesn't ignore or overlook our sin, He IS justice so for Him to do so would create an unresolvable paradox. Instead God has paid the price for our sin in Jesus Sacrifice, reconciling us to Him and opening a way to heaven.
