An oxymoron combines two notions that don’t belong together. They are often humorous, as in “open secret” or “paid volunteer.” Oxys in Greek means “sharp” and moron means “dull,” so you can see how the name was coined. “Gay Christianity” is an oxymoron, and not in the least humorous! This growing movement in contemporary evangelicalism […]
One-ism or Two-ism? Question 26: God
26. What does paganism say about God? The pagan conception of God varies somewhat.

One-ism or Two-ism? Question 20-22: The Lie
20. How many truths do pagans say there are? Pagans generally hold that there is one basic truth or reality behind all the various versions of monism out there.

Black Fathers and White Fathers
by Dr. Peter Jones | April 22, 2022Part of Critical Race Theory is the assumption that racism is inevitably related to white male heterosexuality and the oppressive patriarchy that occurs under the selfish rule of powerful father-figures. Thus, the contemporary version of a “man” in U.S. society is “hyper-masculine, straight, and white…the wealthy white male property owner.” So “…we must begin to […]
