Science is not reality. Science is a tool to understand reality. It is not reality itself. There are other tools to understand reality, and science is not inherently superior at that end, only intuitively so. (I say this as one who loves the natural sciences a very great deal.)

No, pro-life is actually a term solely about abortion and euthanasia, the wilful taking of innocent human life. There may be positions that ought to flow from that, but that’s a separate debate, and the pro-life position is one of “don’t intentionally kill innocent people.”

#Republicans complain it takes a week or more to decide close races. Some claim it’s incompetence or malfeasance, that it's somehow the responsibility of Democrats. Compare that to Florida in 2000. That Election was decided on December 12, 2000. (1/2)

In intense physical pain right now. May have to head the emergency room myself today, though would certainly prefer not to have to. Please do pray for me. Can’t explain over Twitter what the problem is, but suffice it to say this isn’t just some average ache and pain, it’s awful.

@politicalmath Matt, this isn’t a double standard, because these people don’t accept your premises at all. The Christian students aren’t victims to them.

I’m sorry, @Uber_Support , but it is not acceptable that you suspended my @uber account, which I rely on given my wheelchair needs, for an alleged Terms and Conditions violation, with absolutely no specification of what said violation actually was. I e-mailed, but you did not say.

Today is the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. Given my past as someone raised in the Orthodox Jewish religious tradition who later converted to Christianity, and who took Paul the Apostle as my confirmation saint upon being received into the Catholic Church, today is special.

My motorized wheelchair has chosen now, when I am alone at home, of all times, to decide to stop working, so if y’all could spare a Sunday prayer that it start back up, I should appreciate it mightily, as I find this to be more than a mere nuisance to have to deal with right now.

I have an appointment today (tomorrow, if you’re west of the East Coast) with a gastroenterologist, to try to see if there’s any way he can help with my year-old swallowing difficulties. I don’t really have high hopes, but I couldn’t say no to y’all offering prayers on my behalf.
