By Mimi Rothschild That seems to be the question on the minds of Southern Baptist leaders over the course of the last few decades. After all, how pastors answer this question determines very important policy decisions public and personal. Take a look at a recent article in the Shenandoah Valley News Leader. While citing a [...]
I came across a saddening article today in the BP News. Tucked away amongst articles that some would consider to be more relevant, the homeschooling movement suffered a terrific blow in paragraph three. “Addressing the decision not to consider the resolution, John Sullivan said while he serves as executive director–treasurer of the Florida Baptist Convention, [...]
By Mimi Rothschild Mohler hits the nail on the head. He labels Dawkins as an evangelist for atheism. He is saying what atheists should believe but are too lazy or afraid to say in the public sphere. For instance, he says that evolution must lead to atheism. I must say I respect folks like Dawkins [...]
By Mimi Rothschild Albert Mohler’s most recent blog post is quite harrowing. In it he details a recent Wired cover story about the New Atheism movement spearheaded by such atheist luminaries as Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennet, and Sam Harris. What’s so disconcerting about so-called “New Atheism” is not its opposition to Christian values. At the [...]
By Mimi Rothschild Yet another news story has crossed my path regarding Walmart’s recent partnership with the Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. This one comes from the Birmingham Business Journal. Sidenote: Why do gays and lesbians need to have their own chamber of commerce? Thoughts? Anyway, Alabama Southern Baptists did not call for a [...]
By Mimi Rothschild Janet Baird was fed-up. But no more. The Ohio woman, after hearing the shocking confirmation directly from the mega-corporation’s international headquarters that the company is, in fact, contributing to the financial and moral agenda of the nation’s “gay” chamber of commerce, she quit. And she’s not a bit worried. “I got God [...]
By Mimi Rothschild Ok, this is the last post on the New Scientist article. I promise! The article goes on to cite E. Ray Moore of the Exodus Mandate, one of this generation’s greatest proponents of homeschooling as a tool for evangelism. “If we could get up to 30 percent of public-school students into home-schooling [...]
By Mimi Rothschild I’d like to post yet once more regarding Last week’s New Scientist fascinating article regarding the threat that homeschoolers pose to the secular science establishment. The final part of the article deals with homeschoolers’ newfound ability to effect social change through political means. Consider the following statistics: “By 2004, PHC students held [...]
By Mimi Rothschild Last week’s post from Pharyngula linked to a New Scientist article about Patrick Henry College, the HSLDA-led college in Virginia. Notoriously supportive of homeschooling, PHC and its students are a great example of how homeschoolers can enact widespread social change. Although quite a bit less biased than the aforementioned blog post, the [...]
By Mimi Rothschild A friend pointed out today’s post at Pharyngula to me this morning. Man, it really burns me when atheists like this professor try position themselves as open-minded. His solution to the evangelical “problem” is to ban homeschooling. Sounds awfully fascist to me. And yet, isn’t that the term so often thrown at [...]
