Idology(idolatry-as-ideology) vs Reality. The plain cold truth is that blacks kill blacks, and cops have been saving black lives over the years by coming between blacks and blacks. Minus the presence of cops, blacks kill more blacks, as well as nonblacks in the bargain. That is the hard reality. But in 2020, Jews needed extra... Read More
Will I ever stop hating on the Catholic Church and become a believer? Maybe. But if I do, it won’t just be Hilaire Belloc, G.K. Chesterton, and Father Leonard Feeney who will have helped me kneel before the Queen of Heaven. It will also be Professor Richard Dawkins. Belloc, Chesterton, and Feeney have set me... Read More

Websites pour forth heated arguments between liberals and conservative about almost everything—or, as is becoming clear due to brain research, what seem to be arguments but in fact are genetically determined reflexes. Even before the latest results from PET scans and functional MRI, simple observation convinced the sentient that rationality was not involved in political... Read More
With all due respect to Razib Khan, whose contributions to this website I usually enjoy, there seems to be a misunderstanding about the intent of my remarks about cultural illiteracy. I was certainly not attacking religionists; nor do I believe that because a 'majority' of the population accepts a 'creationist slant' on evolution, they are... Read More
