The Peppermint Latte Argument for the Existence of God
The Stream ^ | John Zmirak

…Hand me a peppermint latte, shake some fake snow over me, and point me toward flickering trees in glistening Highland Park Village. I can feel my IQ diminishing, trickling down my leg. My face is already growing a vague “Joe Biden Wandering a Summit” smile as I sniff around for some egg nog…

Have Yourself an Aztec Little Christmas

Can you imagine a “holiday season” inspired by the worship of Odin and Thor, haunted by the awareness that someday Ragnarok is coming, where all life winks out into darkness? What kind of “winter villages” would modern Aztecs have organized? “Come on, little Moctezuma, let’s go visit that pile of skulls! Or do you want to sit on the Angry Plumed Serpent’s lap?”

We know all too well, of course, the style of holiday put on by Darwinian Materialists: It’s what we endure today, with drag queens implanted in the Macy’s parade, and public displays purged by the government of any hint of their Christian origin.

Well written and makes one think. Very good!

This is one of the reasons that I love Free Republic.

I would have never found this website or this author on my own. Will now spend the next several days reading its content.

So The Stream is managed/authored by James Robison ... wow.

Pastor Robison was already famous when I met him in 1980. He preached one of the best sermons I had heard, and he did not mind my charismatic ways (this is before he announced his leaving the Baptist denomination). A godly and kind man.

Very glad to know that his ministry has continued strongly through the years.

I will download their app to my phone.

Thanks again!

This piece is very creative — full of shock-value-laden attention-getters. For that, at least, it’s an admirable piece.

The conclusion, though, that when God is all that’s left, choose God, is weak.

I choose God because I’ve investigated the Bible and its claims from every angle I know of, and came under conviction that I needed to embrace His Gospel — which I did.

The herbal tea drinker (no sugar, no cream) has said in his heart there is no god.

I think the conclusion is tongue in cheek. You and Zmirak are a lot alike if you delve into his experience of the sacred scriptures.
