One of the most destructive carnards concreted into the mind of greenism and environmentalism is the proposition that natural resources are fixed, finite, and limited. Once gone, they are gone forever. Therefore, conservation of said resources is a moral imperative. Statists warm to this proposition reflexively, that is, without thinking. To conserve on a grand […]

And the Left FIGHT BACK!

I stumbled across this nonsense over at Socialist Aotearoa; the same old tired slogans from the student union movement are of course today’s mantra for the grown-up ex-student flunkys who now work in the state sector or for the “real world” unions.

A common objection to belief in the God of the Bible is that a good, kind, and loving deity would never command the wholesale slaughter of nations. In the tradition of his popular Is God a Moral Monster?, Paul Copan teams up with Matthew Flannagan to tackle some of the most confusing and uncomfortable passages of Scripture.
