Violent rape is a judgment of God upon a people. . . . Here the rape is not being perpetrated by foreign soldiers, but is the result of citizens turning on one another. Douglas Wilson
Pastor Douglas Wilson of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, and the Presiding Ministers of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches care as much for these rape victims as they do Steven Sitler’s son. Continue reading

One of the fundamental laws of life, and therefore of business, is that you get more of what you subsidize, and less of what you penalize.

And last, it should be noted (yet again) that all moral claims require a moral foundation. Misogyny is a sin because God hates it, and He will judge those guilty of unrepentant continuance in this sin on the Last Day, along with those guilty of other sins against His Word. But if there is no God, or no judgment, or no fixed moral standards, then everything reduces to a matter of personal preference. And if you are an enraged Hindu, whose personal preference was to have received a larger dowry, Melynda has outlined for us what happens then. True relativistic multi-culturalism will have to swallow an awful lot. Open wide!
