Cowardice in the Era of Trump

In theory, I’m a professional writer.

In reality, I’m a published author of three non-fiction books and several novels (only one is currently for sale) that have received some decent reviews and even won a few awards, but my writing currently doesn’t generate enough income to even feed my dogs. Fortunately, I’m very stubborn and have quite a few more stories to tell, so I don’t let the current absence of book sales discourage me. The problem is that my goal is writing detective novels that produce income, yet I seem to spend much of my time writing nonfiction essays about religion, existential science, or politics.

My writing career sort of began by accident as my first book, Divine Evolution, later explained.

When an (allegedly) brilliant academic explained on television that a computer was the product of an intelligent design but the human body was not, as a software developer with twenty years of experience producing applications that provided any sort of intelligence that an otherwise stupid, inanimate box contained, I instinctively knew his “academic” argument was utterly foolish. At the time I didn’t understand the foundation for his secular argument that every living organism on Earth is literally related by “descent with modification,” so I ended up spending months in the public library and producing over four hundred pages of detailed notes that ultimately evolved into my first (NOT self-) published book.

From this point forward, I shall not go gentle into that good night…I shall now rage and rage against the dying of the light. So help me God.

Bravo John Leonard, well said, and welcome aboard the trump train. 8>)

Darwinism — that our highly ordered universe has not come from an intelligent creator (God) but from randomness and accident — is on it’s way out with new evidence from science. Check out Stephen Meyers and Michael Behe’s books. Both are scientists who point to problems with Darwinist thought and who provide scientific evidence that suggest a creator.

Very good article, thanks for posting.

I like his eloquent rebuttals to the usual libtard profanity.

Powerful column that exposes the opposition for who they are by their behavior that seeks to squash any alternative to their accepted “truth”. I propose that all of us need to read, heed, and adopt his closing lines as an anthem.
