Where is the kindness? This holiday season, beyond the debate of a war on Christmas, Christians (who compose about 70% of the US populace as of writing this) are supposedly celebrating the birth of their savior. A savior who professed love for all, and abhorred judgement. So, I ask again, where is the kindness? We’re seeing ...

Depression isn’t simple. It never is. True, deep depression hurts you in ways that most people can’t even fathom. Sure, the average person may feel down on occasion. The depression I’m speaking of, however, is clinical. Debilitating, painful depression isn’t simple. It’s incredibly complex, and affects the person’s life in a profound way. Allow me ...

With the 2016 election bringing forward a new Republican lead government, I thought it was high-time I approached a major issue to many Americans: Trans Rights Are Human Rights.

Secondly, allow me to cite the primary inspiration for this headline; Guy Forsyth made an excellent observation ...

I’m 32 years old as of writing this. I grew up in a small rural community. I never (thought) I met a gay person until college (and even then, it was very hush hush, due to attending a private Baptist college that had very strict rules about sexuality). I was always told by those around ...

This weekend, I’m tackling an oft-used reason in support for religion: The idea that people of faith are more moral people. The typical argument here in the US is that church attendance is a good thing for any child because it instills a strong moral compass, shaping them into stronger, more moral adults. The reality ...

I will admit, I am a bit more biased than usual in this issue, but I think most can agree that my position is valid. Recently, a new IL law was passed protecting cats & dogs from abuse by neglect in living conditions (you can read Senate Bill 125 here). While that sounds great in theory, ...
