What Makes People Moral

October 21, 2021 | Freddy Davis

I just read one of the most confusing articles I have ever seen. It was an interview with David DeSteno, a professor of psychology at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. By his own testimony, he believes that religion has something positive to contribute to science. So far so good, right?…

Social Science’s False Foundation

October 14, 2021 | Freddy Davis

Will Gervais is a senior lecturer in psychology at Brunel University London.

Discipleship Training – The Church’s Stepchild

October 12, 2021 | Freddy Davis

Surely you are familiar with the “Cinderella” fairy-tale. In that story, Cinderella goes to live with her evil stepmother and her three evil stepsisters. Since she is not part of the “real” family, they all treat her very badly. It seems that back in the late 1600s when the story…

What’s This “White Christian Nationalism” Thing?

October 10, 2021 | Freddy Davis

An all out push is being made by certain factions to paint Christian evangelicals as racist bigots.

Is “Atheist Chaplain” an Oxymoron?

October 7, 2021 | Freddy Davis

A recent Barna survey found that about 60% of adults under age 40 believe that Buddha, Muhammad, and Jesus are all valid paths to salvation. This is just the most dramatic finding of that survey. There are other survey elements that show the younger generation also embraces relativistic morality, and…

Progressives are Religious Zealots

September 22, 2021 | Freddy Davis

Some of her special trainings include such topics as pornography literacy and consent. Her stated goal is to teach healthy sexuality, and she does that…

Trust the Kids and Don’t Tell the Parents

September 9, 2021 | Freddy Davis

There is a movement in certain sectors to keep parents of school children from knowing what the kids are being taught, and hiding other kinds of things from them, as well. For instance, during the pandemic, kids were being taught online and there were some teachers who tried to prevent…

Discussion about the Trinity with a Unitarian – Again

September 3, 2021 | Freddy Davis

After having the discussion with the Unitarian believer that was previously posted on the MarketFaith Ministries website, I have ended up having a follow up discussion with that same person. Unitarianism is the belief that there is no Trinity – that only the Father is actually God. Jesus Christ is…
