I recently discovered that my cousin is a young earth creationist — she should know better! — and I was forced to confront her when she posted an anti-science video to her Facebook page. Most of my family is moderately religious (there … Continue reading →

What the bible actually says about birth control and abortion: You can’t argue religious freedom without knowing your religion

Posted on July 6, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

Widely cited story about Jesus and the adulterous woman was not originally in the bible

Posted on July 5, 2014 by Ryren Cadora
