“We met one such man on the day of our interview at an abandoned church in Golden. Brent Goodrich stood quietly in the back of the church in Golden, eyes trained down on the floor. The RV technician from Springfield, Oregon, drove several hours with his mom to meet Archbishop Cloud, hoping to be freed of several demonic spirits the archbishop believed were attached to him.”

Gender historian admits he ‘basically just made up’ claims in transgender scholarship

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , , , ,

Dummitt also notes that part of what kept him enmeshed in gender ideology was the fact that he was never made to confront differing academic viewpoints. “Steven Pinker’s critique of social constructionism, The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature, was published in 2002 before I finished my PhD and before I published my book. Yet I hadn’t even heard of it, and no one ever suggested I might need to deal with its arguments and evidence. That alone should tell you a lot about the silo we all inhabited.”

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , , ,

As Breitbart News reported, Limbaugh even said that it was “quite telling” that Fox News did not want him to discuss his opposition to the Gang of Eight’s amnesty bill and added that “Fox News is not considered the conservative network that it used to be” to many in the heartland.

(Tony Lee – Breitbart)  Vanity Fair’s Gabe Sherman, citing four sources, reported that Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch, who has long tried to move Fox News to the center, “is already thinking about how to position the network for a post-Trump future.” Continue reading →

When it comes to understanding demons and spiritual warfare, one of the greatest works accessible to just about everyone is Lewis’ “The Screwtape Letters,” a 1942 novel that takes the form of letters penned by senior demon Screwtape to his nephew Wormwood, a junior tempter. Wormwood’s ultimate job is to ensure the damnation of a British man known only as “the patient.”  

(Tré Goins-Phillips – Faithwire)  It might sound like the start of a bad joke, but it’s the truth. Rather than walking into a bar, as the story usually goes, a skeptic and a believer have teamed up to create a new drama exploring demonic possession, spirituality, and religion. Continue reading →

“Princeton Policy Advisors estimates that 103,000 women will be raped trying to reach the U.S. from Central America in 2019. Though that figure could be much higher, as rape and other crimes against migrants skyrockets in Mexico and after they cross the border.” 

(Jerome Hudson – Breitbart)  For all the political Left’s shrieks about a so-called “War on women” and a systemic “rape culture” pervasive throughout American society, the reality that some 8 in 10 women and girls are sexually assaulted during the dangerous trek from Mexico and South America to the U.S. southern border is met mostly with silence.

Earlier this year, Kim Kardashian was on Jimmy Kimmel Live! show and was jokingly asked by its host Jimmy Kimmel, “Do you pray to Kayne or to God at this church?”  “There’s actually no praying; there’s no sermon; there’s no word; it’s just music and just a feeling,” Kardashian explained.

Christian Artists Can’t Be Forced to Make Gay Wedding Invites, Arizona Supreme Court Rules

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , , ,

“These women of deep religious faith gladly serve everyone, including those in the LGBT community; their faith simply prevents them from expressing certain messages for anyone. So this case is not about whether businesses can decline to serve an entire class of people. It is about whether artists can freely choose which messages their own art conveys.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  On Monday, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that the City of Phoenix could not use a criminal law to force a Christian arts studio to make wedding invitations for a gay wedding.

These slanderous statements were simply bizarre. ACR 99 does not clearly define so-called “conversion therapy.” It does not even mention psychologists, psychiatrists, or mental health professionals.
