DTTAG #52 - Why Cain's Sacrifice Failed
Two brothers, Cain and Abel, make sacrifices to God. Only Cain's sacrifice is rejected, but it isn't clear why -- or is it? What if, instead of starting with random hypotheses, we start with the plain facts?

DTTAG #50 - Can You Be a Christian Pornstar?
Christians "should remain in the situation they were in when God called them," says the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 7. Brandi Love apparently believes this means she can safely continue working as...a pornstar?

Coach Red Pill's Life Plan Conundrum
I'm a huge fan of Coach Red Pill, but when it comes to his video about how to plan your life, there's one part of his philosophy that seems to contradict the evidence of his own experience.

The Mississippi Supreme Court Is Dead Right

The UV Light Hoax Revisited

DTTAG #30 - Review: "Universally Preferable Behaviour"
In 2007 philosopher Stefan Molyneux wrote his "Rational Proof of Secular Ethics". By his own admission, it didn't take off. Does the fault reside in his ideas, or is the packaging to blame?

Does Faith Stop at the Voting Booth?
Some secular persons will say a believer shouldn't vote one's faith. Some religious persons will say a believer shouldn't vote *at all*. What's the duty of the believer under separation of church and state when it comes to voting?

DTTAG #13 - God's Unconditional Love
Is God's love unconditional? Dennis Prager would say no, but I think that may be the result of mixing meanings of the word "love". While God may treat you unfavorably due to your sins, God only does so out of the same unconditional love by which He blesses your obedience.

Guilt, Innocence, and the BLM Riots
Often we hear that people killed by police "did nothing wrong" or "did nothing worthy of the death penalty". But is that the right way to think of guilt and innocence when it comes to police-involved killings...or the riots that may come afterwards?

Scott Adams' Loserthoughts
Scott Adams describes in his book "Loserthink" how some people's limited experience with various fields of knowledge can trap them in bubbles that keep them from interpreting reality correctly. But Scott, it turns out, is not immune from being bubbled himself.
(NOTE: I recorded this video before watching Episode 998 of Scott Adams' daily podcast, in which he admits he underestimated how serious the blowback over Joe Biden's "You Ain't Black" comment would be.)

Whose Racial Profiling Killed Ahmaud Arbery?
The shooting of 25YO black Army veteran Ahmaud Arbery by two white men in Georgia has once again raised the ugly specter of racial profiling. But are the media and angry respondents taking *all* the possible racial profiling surrounding the incident -- and the reactions to it -- into account?
