Why I Don't Love My Husband More Than My Kids (or vice versa)

                Lately I've read some articles where people explain that our society has it backwards: instead of loving our kids so much, we should love our husbands more. After all, you chose your husband, and he'll be around when the kids are gone, but you didn't choose your kids. As people say, if we don't have a strong marriage, the kids will suffer, so loving your husband more is good for your kids. (Try to tell that to someone whose husband beats her and the kids. I'm sure the kids in that family appreciate that the wife put her husband above them.) It's also good to make sure your kids know they're not the center of the universe, as bloggers these days are convinced that everyone else is doing with their kids. From a Christian perspective, some people even say putting your husband above your kids is the "biblical" way. I don't see it that way, and let me explain why.

A Few Ramblings on the Nature of Faith

                I haven't yet watched the debate between Ken Ham and Bill Nye, but I hope to be able to do so soon. This morning, though, I felt compelled to write a note about my own understanding on what faith is and when we ought to have faith. I remember years ago watching a documentary on PBS telling why creationism was dumb. They interviewed a kid who had been raised in a Christian family and went to college, where he was taught about evolution and came to question his faith. Then the interview shifted to his parents, who basically said, "Faith isn't supposed to make sense! It's not based on logic or reasoning; you're just supposed to believe it." Let me tell you: according to that logic, faith really would be pretty dumb. So would creationism. If evidence pointed out that something was not true, and you believed it anyway, that would be pretty dumb of you.
