by Wesley J. Smith

It has been a very interesting experience to debate assisted suicide here in the UK.  I had in-depth exchanges with three different advocates, one a Member of the Scottish Parliament, one a bioethicist from, I believe, the University of Glasgow, and Dr. Libby Wilson, the head of an assisted . . . .

2012

by John Mark Reynolds

When I was a kid, I used to root for people to pick the next year as the date of Christ’s return. Since I really wanted to get married, I did not want the Day of Doom to come too soon.

by John Mark Reynolds

When I was a little boy, I knew pious Christians driven a bit mad by their failure to follow reason.
