This man cuts off the head of a hostage and is rightfully condemned as the epitome of wickedness. We think of him as evil to the core. We call on the government to bring justice to this murderer. We know that we cannot tolerate this kind of evil in the world. He must be stopped and we will spare no expense to make sure that he doesn't kill again. We call him "terrorist".

This man cuts off the heads of hundreds of unborn babies with no real condemnation. Some think of him as a champion of women's rights. Others choose to ignore him, pretending that he doesn't exist. To some he is not really bad, just misguided. Perhaps he has the wrong priorities but is generally a decent person. We tolerate his decapitation of innocent babies and don't spend too much time or energy trying to stop him. We call him "doctor".

Will Artificial Intelligence Destroy Mankind? Stephen Hawking Thinks It Could Happen

courtesy of freeimages.com A recent Fox news article ( read article here ) reported that physicist Stephen Hawking is worried about the development of artificial intelligence, or AI for short. [1] Hawking is apparently worried that if advances in AI continue the human race could one day become extinct. He is quoted as saying, "The development of full artificial intelligence (AI) could spell the end of the human race." The article also quotes Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla Motors. Musk is said to have told an audience at MIT that we need to be "very careful" with artificial intelligence. Fox reports that Musk "called for national and international oversight of the field". The idea of machines becoming more advanced than humans is great science fiction. It is fun and somewhat scary to contemplate the ramifications of machines being able to think for themselves. But will AI be the end of mankind? Not if you believe Bib...

Justification

Job asked, " ...how can a person be justified before God? " Job 9:2 (HCSB) . Could there be any question of greater importance? I'm a champion at justifying myself by comparing myself to others. How many times have I said, "I'm not perfect but at least I don't act like so-and-so!" But God doesn't compare my righteousness with that of others, He compares it to His own. The Bible says that it is God to whom I must one day give an account. Hebrews 4:13 So the question is not "Am I more righteous than my neighbor?" but rather "How can I be righteous enough for God?" The Bible clearly says that I am a sinner and in need of righteousness. Rom. 3:23 Rom. 3:10 Furthermore, God is holy and has no fellowship with sinners. The Bible describes this holiness as being like light and sin being like darkness. Now this is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you: God is light, and there is absolutely no d...

Obama Makes Illogical Pro-abortion Arguments

On January 22, 2016, the 43rd anniversary of the horrible Roe v. Wade decision concerning abortion in America, President Obama made a statement advocating for abortion (click here to access statement) . President Obama's statement reflects the standard talking points of pro-death abortion advocates. Let's think through his statement line by line. First he says Roe v. Wade "affirmed a woman's freedom to make her own choices about her body and her health." This is the "pro-choice" argument. The problem is that it isn't logical. No woman in America has complete freedom of choice when it comes to her own body or her own health. For instance, there are laws against drug abuse. A woman doesn't have the legal right to make her own choice about her body in this instance. The law takes that choice away. She is not allowed to abuse drugs simply because that's what she chooses to do with her body. A second reason that this is illogical ...
