The Reformed Religion of Revelation and the Wiccan Religion of Choice: Part II
Five Solas
Protestant Christians believe in five Solas. They include Scripture alone which teaches salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, for the glory of God alone. These principles stem from the Word of God as properly understood by God’s people throughout the centuries. The Church holds up the whole of Scripture as the infallible, inerrant, authoritative, and sufficient Word of God. This objective revelation is to inform the thoughts and behavior of every person who is created in the image of God (namely, everyone). The revelation of God to …

The Reformed Religion of Revelation and the Wiccan Religion of Choice: Part I
October 31 is an important day for two religions in particular. Protestant Christians recognize that October 31, 1517 is generally taken to mark the beginning of the Protestant Reformation while Wiccans celebrate Samhain.
Wiccan Religion
Wicca is a Pagan religion. Pagan religions are not Judeo-Christian in origin (6). While there are no non-Pagan varieties of Wicca, there are non-Wiccan varieties of Paganism. This article will focus primarily upon Wicca, but many of the same observations can be made concerning Paganism as well.
Paul Tutéan and Estelle Daniels are the authors of Essential Wicca. Daniels, who is an …

Leaving Choosing Hats
The other blog contributors and I have been talking for some time about me taking a temporary break from the site. Under normal circumstances I am able to produce the amount of material that I do here without it cutting into my time for offline activities. However, circumstances have changed.
Recently I have been experiencing some numbness and pain in my chest. After visiting the doctor about the problem this morning and discovering some abnormalities I have decided that now is an ideal time for the aforementioned break. Unfortunately this means that a few items I wanted to address prior …

Cornelius Van Til, Westboro Baptist Church, and Steve Jobs
I am no Cornelius Van Til, but if Van Til can get away with saying that an atheist is like the little girl he saw slapping her father while sitting on his lap, then I might be able to get away with saying that a non-Christian is like “Westboro Baptist Church” tweeting their characteristic nastiness about Steve Jobs while using an iPhone.
The iPhone would be like the tools of reasoning, logic, and science. Apple users may get the other part of the analogy too quickly.
But I wrote this on a Dell.

Is Paul Baird Ashamed of Atheism?
“Every system of philosophy must tell us whether it thinks true knowledge to be possible. Or if a system of philosophy thinks it impossible for man to have a true knowledge of the whole of reality or even of a part of reality, it must give good reasons for thinking so. From these considerations, it follows that if we develop our reasons for believing that a true knowledge of God and, therefore, also of the world, is possible because actually given in Christ, we have in fact given what goes in philosophy under the name of epistemology. It will then …

Are bestialists being unfairly persecuted? – The Slippery Slope of Subjective "Standards"
…“Be they right or not, a sexual act that falls so far from the standards of Western civilisation as to end with the asphyxiation of a goat should not be negotiated with. In this author’s opinion, it should lead straight to the electric chair.”

Introduction
…Paul Baird said…
You have to remember that this didn’t used to be a hypothetical for me. I was a card carrying North European Solitary Pagan at one time, and there was some revelatory basis to my worldview so I’m not playing some devils advocate game with CBC here.
That said, the purpose of using the Pagan worldview is that, arguably, and leaving aside characters like Aleister Crowley, it is an indigenous faith of these islands, alongside Druidism and many others. That is to say it predates Christianity and shares none
