This covers the gamut from poverty to the inner workings of ethical systems.
- Poverty and the Decline of Marriage Christian morality is far from obselete. The breakdown of marriage is the number one cause of poverty. Taxonomy of rebuttals here
- Pro-Life Judo If a fetus isn’t a person, then neither is a newborn infant. And who wants to defend legalized infanticide?
