Planned Parenthood and “Situation Ethics”

July 30, 2015 | Tal Davis

In the 1960s an ordained Episcopal priest and Harvard Divinity School ethics professor named Joseph Fletcher (1905-1991) wrote a best selling book titled Situation Ethics. In his lectures and books, Fletcher (who later admitted he was an atheist) used a number of hypothetical moral dilemmas to advocate his view…

“The Life of Pi”- Take Your Kids, but Don’t Just Leave it There!

December 3, 2012 | Tal Davis

My wife and I just got home from seeing Ang Lee’s incredible new film “The Life of Pi.” I encourage you to see it and take your older children and teens (about age 10 and up – it is rated PG). I can honestly say that it is the most…

The Day After

November 7, 2012 | Tal Davis

The elections are finally over! And, whether or not your favorite candidates won, like me, on one level you are probably relieved it is all over. For the past year it seems all we heard about was how good one guy was and, more often, how bad the other guy…

“Flying Nuns” vs. “Flying Nones”?

October 12, 2012 | Tal Davis

One of the most innocuous TV shows ever made was “The Flying Nun.” It starred a very young Sally Field as a Catholic Nun who, when the wind blew under her wide brimmed habit, could lift off the ground and fly. It was cute and a little unrealistic (nuns can’t…

Life is Even More Complex Than We Thought!

September 6, 2012 | Tal Davis

A few years ago my college alma-mater conducted a public conference extolling what the organizers saw as the scientific certainty of Darwinian Evolution (DE) and the foolishness of creationism. When I found out about the symposium I wrote an email letter to the science faculty members who were listed as…

LiLo and Playboy

October 31, 2011 | Freddy Davis

As much as I see the evidence that America is a post-Christian nation, I am still often taken back by some of the expressions I see of that fact. The evidence for this is not even hidden any more. You have TV shows like Two and a Half Men which…

PETA Is at it Again

October 26, 2011 | Freddy Davis

Just when you thought PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) couldn’t get any sillier, they manage to pull it off. They already got all over president Obama for killing a fly. They have also used pornography to promote a vegan lifestyle, compared the killing to chickens to the…

Monkeys Produce Shakespeare – Not!

October 15, 2011 | Freddy Davis

Evolutionists believe that given enough time, the random actions of matter was able to produce the universe as we know it today. To make this idea a little more tangible, someone came up with the analogy that if enough monkeys were given an infinite amount of time tapping away on…

Short Term Marriage

October 5, 2011 | Freddy Davis

Just when you think you have heard it all, something else comes along. I just saw a news report that tells of a proposal being considered by Mexico City lawmakers to create adjustable marriage contracts. These contracts can be renewed when the contract expires if the couple are happy with…

Unitarianism Part 3- What does the Future Hold?

August 23, 2011 | Tal Davis

It is the best of times. It is the worst of times for the Unitarian-Universalist Association. In one sense the movement may be on the cusp of a revival. As secularism and Postmodernism continue to grow in the west the UUA may gain from the desire of some skeptics to…
