Yesterday I gave the emotional response to Exodus International closing up shop, now here’s the logical one. I want to preface this by saying that I do think that Alan Chambers is sincere. Also, after watching the video of his comments (skip to the 19 minute mark) to the Exodus conference telling the attendees that Exodus […]

Well, that just made my night. Exodus International is shutting down
I was walking home from work this evening when I checked my Twitter feed and saw that Alan Chambers, the president of Exodus International, the biggest and oldest ex-gay organization, had issued an apology to the LGBTQ community for the way that Exodus had hurt people. The apology came with a promise that an announcement […]
Kathryn Cooks: Part 1, Getting Started
So, before I start writing about one pot dorm cooking, I should probably go over some of the things that you’ll need. These recommendations are different than what I’d suggest if you were buying pots and pans for a full kitchen, but this is what I went looking for in order to have something to […]

Dear Evangelicals: This is why the rest of the world thinks you’re backward bigots (Or, did I just fall through a time warp to 1965?)
It’s 2013, the nation is on the verge of full marriage equality, possibly even as soon as this month, yet over on John Piper’s Desiring God blog, it seems that they’re still trying to convince readers that interracial marriage is not a sin.

It’s all well and good when the leader you like does it
During the Bush administration, I repeatedly told people that the measuring stick for a government program should not be whether you trust it in the hands of the leader you like, it should be whether you trust it in the hands of the next guy. Once you give up freedom, you have no guarantee that […]
