Ashamed to be an American
I am, once again, ashamed to be an American. We had a clear choice between a pair of decent, intelligent, democracy-loving, competent leaders (Harris and Walz) and a pair of racist, sexist, fascists who are incompetent (Trump and Vance), and yet we Americans made the wrong choice. There are two main possible reasons for this … Ashamed to be an American

To cite just four of several examples, (1) Glenn Miller; (2) Randal Rauser; (3) Trent Horn; and (4) Sean McDowell have both been extremely gracious as dialogue partner (1 & 2) or host (3&4).

After I posted my comment about the twin hypothesis, I thought to myself, “I’ll bet Steve Hays responds to this and uses the ‘Village Atheist’ tag.” My prediction was accurate. (See his post here.) In my comment, I didn’t defend the twin … Apologist Responds? Check. Uncharitable? Check. Uses Cheap Shots and Insults? Check.
