The most extreme Christians conservatives and the most extreme liberal agnostics and atheists have at least one thing in common: They won’t let solid science interfere with the decisions they have already made. This week, we’ve got a science report I wonder how certain groups from the left side of the spectrum are going to explain away.
“Male and female mouse brains could have significant differences that reach right down to the cellular level, according to a new discovery.”
“Former Texas representative and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke said that churches, charities and other religious institutions that oppose same-sex marriage should lose their tax-exempt status. This came with the promise that, if elected president, he will immediately enforce the policy through executive action. “
When James Emery White says sane reasoning is losing the day, he definitely has a point. (And if you’d prefer five articles a day instead of five a week, Dr. White’s daily list of articles is a good place to turn.)

That’s one reason I like articles that put skin on one of those names, like this one about a road built by one of the Bible’s most famous villains.
Finally, I love reading Seth Godin’s blog. It’s always a quick read and almost always interesting and helpful. Even when he writes about the best way to leave cookies in the break room.
And really finally, if you’re finding these weekly articles helpful, challenging, or even infuriating, leave a comment to let me know.
