The Abolition of Man (and Sugary Drinks) by David Fowler
|
|
| |
Two political events this week seemed to have no connection to each other, N.Y. Mayor Michael Bloomberg wanting to ban the sale of sugary drinks over 16 ounces and the U.S. House of Representatives failing to ban sex-selective abortions. But the perspective behind both is the same and together they portend what C.S. Lewis predicted back in 1947. So, let’s raise a glass of soda pop and drink to the Abolition of Man. Read more.

Judge rules that approval of mosque in Murfreesboro, TN, is void
|
|
| |
Next time you think local government elections such as those for judges and county commissioners aren't all that important, you might want to reconsider. A Rutherford County, TN, judge has ruled that the county failed to provide adequate public notice of a meeting at which the construction of a mosque in Murfreesboro, TN, was approved and therefore its approval is void. However, the judge has apparently told mosque opponents that they need to initiate a new legal action to stop its continuing construction.

Federal appellate court says critical provision in DOMA unconstitutional
|
|
| |
A federal appellate court has ruled that the provision in the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that defines marriage as being between a man and a woman is unconstitutional because it denies “married” gay couples federal benefits given to heterosexual married couples. The ruling, which will be appealed and applies only to northeastern U.S. states, did not address DOMA’s other component that protects states not having adopted same-sex “marriage” from being forced to recognize such “marriages” performed in other states. ADF attorney Dale Schowengerdt noted the fallacy in the court’s reasoning: "In allowing one state to hold the federal government, and potentially other states, hostage to redefine marriage, the 1st Circuit attempts a bridge too far. Under this rationale, if just one state decided to accept polygamy, the federal government and perhaps other states would be forced to accept it, too." |

New Gallup poll finds sexualization of our culture is continuing
|
|
| |
In a poll assessing Americans’ “moral acceptability” of various behaviors and social policies, the trend towards increased acceptance of sex outside of marriage is continuing. When asked about the acceptability of “sex between an unmarried man and woman,” 59% thought it is morally acceptable while only 38% found it morally wrong. Similarly, 54% viewed “having a baby outside of marriage” as morally acceptable whereas 42% found it morally wrong. But only 7% found as morally acceptable “married men and women having an affair” while 89% deemed that conduct morally wrong. Turning to abortion, only 38% thought it is morally acceptable while 51% deem abortion to be morally wrong. Read more poll results here. |
