Fanatic Homeschooler Equates Longterm Nursing Care With Euthanasia
Instead, the truly pious individual takes care of such family members in their own home.
Those advocating this variety of stridency would then turn around and pitch a fit at those that would then not be able to afford to send their children to private school or be able to dedicate enough time to the pedagogy of the offspring with most of the attention going to address the increasingly complex health issues faced by the particular parent slipping into dementia or disability.
Secondly, if women are to be denied higher education as the Swansonites have suggested from time to time, how are these wives suppose to acquire this variety of expertise?
Thirdly, if the infirm needing around the clock nursing attention are suppose to be cared for in the homes of their children, what is to happen when the health of these frontline caretakers (who do not necessarily derive the same kind of endorphin high certain medical professionals seem to experience in these sorts of situations) find their own health compromised to the extent that they can neither oversee the wellbeing of their offspring nor their aging parents?

Headline reads that the swimmer that swam from Florida to Cuba vomited constantly. So do some with gallbladder disease, but you don't see them getting a media pity party. No one forced her to swim there. Is not like she was fleeing Castro's dictatorship. And why was she allowed to do this when the average American cannot travel to that island via more modernized modes of transportation?
A New Republic cover story points out that the public school system has failed non-conformist children. Does that mean students bored out of their wits because they possess a greater intellectual acuity than what the pedagogy is aimed at? Or is this code for urchins that need a swift smack on the backside because they aren’t going to listen to anyone telling them to sit still?

Best To Avoid Syria Entanglement
However, beyond a stern verbal condemnation, is it all that wise for the United States to get involved at this point?
Do we really know for certain who is the responsible party?
This conflict is not Star Wars or Lord of The Rings with clearly discernible protagonists and adversaries.
Either side could be capable of doing such a thing.
On the one hand, you have a brutal dictatorship. On the other side, the so-called “freedom fighters” have been accused of cannibalism and granting of a religious dispensation allowing for the raping of women caught up in the conflict.
Most importantly, if the Obama Administration decides to get involved militarily, does the President have the resolve to do what must be done?
For example, what if a campaign to eliminate Syrian weapons of mass destruction is conducted half-heartedly in the manner in which the President undertakes so many of his policy initiatives and America returns home before the task is completed?
Since whoever is responsible has no qualms about about killing their own people systematically and in the most horrible manners imaginable, what would prevent them from doing so to the people of the United States?
The border is pretty much a siv and, if Assad is indeed responsible as Obama is insisting to the civilized world, the President has already announced his intentions to allow that particular Middle Eastern tyrant to remain in power where the ensconced despot can plot revenge at leisure.

Spurgeon remarked that those content to be a newspaper editor, a grocer, a doctor or a king rather than become a minister did not possess the fullness of the spirit of God. But doesn't God need solid Christians in these trades and professions as well? Isn't one edging away from the oasis of sound doctrine towards the wastelands of gnosticism by downplaying the needs each of these divisions of labor specialize in addressing? The preacher is going to do you little good if you don't have the physical strength to listen to his message (these needs being met by the grocer and the doctor) and you aren't going to know whether or not it's safe to go to church without the magistrate to keep the bandits at bay and the media to expose when the government has itself become the bandit.
Martin Luther King. Jr. was not the flawless individual he is made out to be by certain segments of the American population. A number of his associations, life choices, and professed beliefs were at times highly questionable. However, to graft together the countenances of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Trayvon Martin into a single image plastered on a t-shirt as if they are of equal stature is a step too far. In his brief 39 years, Martin Luther King earned a Bachelor of Art in Sociology, a Bachelor of Divinity, and a PhD in Systematic Theology while also pastoring a church and composing numerous rhetorical works. Though academic achievement is not necessarily a determining measure of individual character, Trayvon Martin wasn’t even able to keep his nose clean enough to prevent from being kicked out of high school.

Police assure that the beating death of 88 year old Delbert Bolton had nothing whatsoever to do with race. And this makes Delbert Bolton any less dead how? To justify the lavish salaries and expense accounts of consultant diversitymongers, it is constantly pounded into our heads about institutional racism. This is the perceptual malady where we could be holding to prejudiced and biased assumptions and not even realize it. I guess these scumbags singled out an elderly white man thinking he would be able to put up a fair fight. Maybe they had such respect for the elderly that they could not bear the thought of the targeted individual enduring the deprivations of the Obama healthcare plan to be inflicted upon the chronologically advanced in the years to come. So the duo must have decided to bestow the gift and blessing of an unsolicited mercy killing.
Southern Baptist Seminarian Overreacts To The Rise Of Alternative Information Delivery Systems
Given that Mohler's program is primarily available through this particular medium, it is ironic that he would raise this complaint.
Should the discerning Christian cut back on this renowned seminarian's program if it is not so much quality of the screen time we are to be concerned with rather than quality?
As part of his argument, Mohler quotes from theologian Jacques Ellul who argued that, once a technology enters our lives, it begins to take them over.
Would Dr. Mohler have made such a complaint about the printing press and the revolution in information made available by the proliferation of economically approved.
Back then, it was also argued that works disseminated in that fashion would undermine authorities and put knowledge in the hands of those not deemed qualified to handle it.
But most importantly, without the printed word, would the Protestantism (of which Albert Mohler is one of the movement's most prominent contemporary spokesmen and thinkers) have blossomed into a viable expression of the Christian tradition?
