Imagining Our Children into Non-Existence PDF
by Joe Capizzi, Ph.D.   
One of the consolations of the religious mindset is the release from the illusion that we can control our destinies. The release from this illusion, the believer knows, is also a relief from the pressures associated with our attempts to control our lives. Even the irreligious can come to learn this, and one of the best educations in the disillusionment of control is parenthood. Technology, however, increasingly saps parenthood of the capacity to teach this lesson. Just look at this article in the New York Times.

What Keeps Me Up at Night PDF
by Joe Capizzi, Ph.D.   
The paragraphs have the nice measured tone of a University of Chicago law professor, but they are of the same cloth as the recent allegations that American politics is listing toward theocracy. There are many such accusations, with some of them now bloated to book-length. The most popular of these books is Kevin Phillips’ American Theocracy. These types of arguments have all kinds of built-in assumptions that the authors know better than to reveal. But if you reflect, or even merely linger, over the paragraphs above, you quickly can see how ludicrous the concerns are.

GOP Policy Committee Says Marriage Amendment Needed to Stop Courts PDF
by Mark Adams   
An important Senate committee says in a new policy paper that if a Constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman is not passed, state and federal courts may eventually impose same-sex marriage. The paper says that advocates of same-sex marriage plan to challenge state marriage laws producing a patchwork of laws across the country that "will inevitably end up playing out in the courts, as same-sex marriage puts new stresses on the legal system."
