Deacon Duncan [Originally published July 30, 2007] Via Dr. Joan Bushwell’s Chimpanzee Refuge, we have a good example of the “superstitious” apologetic for faith in God: My relationship with God isn’t based on wishful thinking, it’s based on the fact that I actually am blessed to have a relationship with God. Basically, you must simply dismiss any [...]
Colson on how gays persecute the church
November 24th, 2011 Deacon Duncan [Originally published July 5, 2008] The Christian Post brings us this column by Chuck Colson on how the gay rights movement is really just a front for a blatant attempt to persecute Christians for their faith.

Golden Oldie: If it goose-steps like a duck…
September 10th, 2011 Deacon Duncan [Here's another encore, this one from May of 2008] Over at Discovery Institute’s “Evolution News and Views,” Senior Propagandist Jonathan West criticizes Dawkins for—are you sitting down?—comparing a rabbi’s speaking style to Hitler’s. Now, after denouncing Expelled as “wicked, evil” and an “outrage” for pointing out that Darwinism was one of the intellectual influences on [...]
How God really works
September 9th, 2011 Deacon Duncan [I have to be out of town today and tomorrow, so I thought I'd cheat and replay some old Evangelical Realism posts. This one, from August 2007, is my all-time greatest hit (according to my stats log, that is).] A blogger at passionateamerica.com has a bit of Monday Morning “humor” that (perhaps without meaning to) [...]
