Stopping the Killing
The topic of the death penalty this year led me to investigate the crimes people are being killed by the state for. The crimes are indeed cruel, depraved, heartless and deserving of absolute punishment. Whatever that punishment is, is up to public and government opinion. We all have our own opinions on it, but...
On Specism, Separateness and Superiority
The problem with humanity is that in our “superiority”, we have become increasingly blind to what our humanity means and is for. What is “human” is our ability to think, feel, know and act accordingly, but it’s our base wants, fears and appetites that rule and are generally our way of life and its...
Why our World is Failing

A Vegan World is God’s World
Christians really do need to learn about and embrace the vegan and animal rights movement. It’s not just about eating a plant based diet, it’s also about animal entertainment, animal clothing products, animal testing, all sin based industries that are supported by many Christians. This is sad as it’s not what Jesus would do,...

The west and its institutions has generally been the moral standard the world is judged by. Our progress, peacefulness, and prominance due to our cultural civility, our prosperity and progress have made this true for over 300 years. But lately things have changed.

On Socialism and our Economy
The Ontario government recently tabled a bill that will cut family doctor’s salaries. This is obviously a move that will please his ignorant populus driven support base, but it’s not in Ontario’s or it’s middle classes best interests. It also threatens our publicly funded healthcare system, as it may drive doctors elsewhere, or into...
