The Poached Egg Apologetics Daily Reply

by • New Evangelization • Tags: , , ,

New Catholic Apologetics Webpage:

I checked it out. Looks pretty Catholic to me: e.g., features article on 10 biblical reasons for Papal Infallibility, and even an article shared from BiltrixBoard, so it must be good! You’ll find many good apologetics resources here:

The Poached Egg Christian Worldview and Apologetics Network is a website founded and edited by Greg West, a passionate defender of Christianity committed to the cause of Christian apologetics, evangelism, and equipping others to always be ready to…

On Biltrices and Buffalos: No Bull about it, this really happened

Okay… this is not the type of thing we ordinarily see on Biltrix. Then again, what is a biltrix? Not the type of thing we see, hear, or read about every day. Sorry guys! I couldn’t resist sharing this one… (I have a soft spot in my heart for animals, particularly, canines and bovines, if you haven’t noticed…)

Here’s an except. The full article details Homeland Security’s investigation of the case and a $5,000 reward More…

Beyond Expectation: Becoming Like God Thanks To The Resurrection 2

by • The Theologian (Fr Jose LaBoy) • Tags: , , , ,

Fr Jose LaBoy

In the episode of the encounter of Christ with the disciples on their way to Emmaus we find a very enlightening lesson regarding the saving power of the Resurrection. Christ appears to them because they have lost hope in his message, since the events have destroyed, according to them, their expectations. That is why after giving an account of the death of Jesus, his “unfulfilled promises,” they say: “But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel.” (Lk 24:21) More…

Richard vs Richard: The Dawkins–Rorty Debate Reply

by • Full Contact Philosophy • Tags: , , , , , , ,

Imagine a debate between Richard Dawkins and Richard Rorty. What would it be like?

Richard Rorty, American Pragmatist

Unfortunately, we will never know for sure, since our friend Rorty went on to receive his eternal reward in the spring of 2008 — he did not believe in that eternal reward, but we should hope that he attained it anyway.

Rorty’s pragmatism, in brief, is a sort of thoroughgoing practical relativism. The core tenet of pragmatism is often described as “Whatever works.” More…

Biking for Babies vs. Bowling for Abortion Reply

by • Culture War • Tags: , ,

No joke. The National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF) has already raised $400,000 from its third annual “Abortion Bowl-aThon” to help fund what it calls “reproductive justice” (ironic that they would call it that). They hope to raise another $40,000 for abortions in Washington, DC, from their “Abortion miniature golf-a-thon.”

In stark contrast, the fourth annual “Biking for Babies” hopes to raise $40,000 for 8 pro-life organizations in the midwest: More…

Protecting unborn children from pain | LifeSiteNews 2

by • Culture War • Tags: , , ,

I’ve gotten in the habit of featuring articles published from from other sources, lately. Let me know if you think this is a good idea, and I will keep including them. Of course, the team of highly skilled Biltrix authors will continue to contribute our own trademarked Biltrix-Matter as well.

This one from LifeSiteNews is a really good one!

Like partial-birth abortion bans, fetal pain laws advance public recognition of the unborn child’s humanity and should be supported.

Atheism vs. Agnosticism: Is There Any Way to Know for Certain? 17

by • Cultural Conversion • Tags: , , , , , ,

Can anyone claim God doen’t exist?

Are agnostics just atheists who don’t want to declare their atheism? Are atheists just agnostics who don’t want to admit the possibility of a God. To be fair, we should let them speak for themselves. Here is what one renowned scientist has to say about his agnosticism:

Charles Colson’s ‘Ecumenism of the Trenches’ | NCRegister.com Reply

A good article from the National Catholic Register on the late great Chuck Colson. I think it compliments my earlier post on ecumenism this morning very nicely.

Ecumenism: Moving Beyond a Nation of Hypocrites 1

by • Culture War • Tags: , , , , ,

We Are A Christian Nation

I am going to start off saying some things that could come across as negative (because they are not positive things). My point in this article, however, is to encourage Christians to rise above all the negativity and to suggest some general lines about how to do so. The main thrust of my exhortation is that the remedy to the negative attitude towards religion is more religion, specifically, in the form of ecumenism. More…

Note: I’m a little under the weather these days, so, as you can see I’m doing a lot of reposting — articles of interest. I hope you find them useful.
