Continuing our series addressing questions brought up by deconstructors, one of the accusations that I've recently run across is that the Bible condones rape, specifically that Numbers 31 condones it, which I will address in this post. Of course, this is yet another dumb claim that, when looked at in context, can easily be debunked,... Continue Reading →
Mary Shelley was an interesting person. Her father was an atheist and encouraged her to adhere to his anarchist political beliefs. She had a rich education and when she was a teenager, she was the mistress, then wife of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. That meant that she had many social connections with prominent writers...

In a study published by the Lozier Institute in 2023 reviewing 1000 women ages 41-45, it was found that 67% of women considered their abortions to be "“accepted but inconsistent with their values and preferences” (43%) or “unwanted or coerced” (24%)". Meanwhile, only 33% of women in the study wanted their abortion and 60% would've... Continue Reading →
After last Friday's break from this series, we're back with another claim, though I hadn't seriously heard of this accusation until a few months ago. Did I know that some people claimed that the Bible is evil because of that gosh darn patriarchy? Yes. Did I take it seriously? No. I thought it was just... Continue Reading →
Of all of Jane Austen's books, I think Northanger Abbey gets the least recognition. If it hadn't been for the fact that my copies of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility are both annotated, I probably never would've heard about it, much less read it. However, here we are. I read Northanger Abbey and... Continue Reading →
"Trust the science." It's a phrase that we heard a lot during the COVID era. For example, we were told to "trust the science" that the vaccine worked; to "trust the science" that masks helped stop the spread; to "trust the science" that there were no dangerous side effects from the vaccine or its subsequent...

"M.J., it's Friday. Where's your usual apologetics post?" The answer is: I'm taking a short break from that this week since 1). It's the end of the month and 2). All of my other ideas for apologetics posts are more fitting for next month. Why? Because March is Women's History Month for some reason. That... Continue Reading →
It's the last week of Black History Month before we transition into Women's History Month, so it's time to talk about a book that combines those two factors: supposed racism and a good female protagonist (as well as being written by a woman). If you're tired of hearing me talk about banned books, don't worry.... Continue Reading →
I'm a junior in high school (yes, I know I'd stop saying "I'm in high school," but this is relevant to the illustration I'm about to give you). That said, one of the mandatory courses I have to take this semester is economics, a class that I initially dreaded taking, but eventually found to be... Continue Reading →
Last week for my American Literature course, I read and finished Booker T. Washington's autobiography Up from Slavery, which is the story of how he grew up, was able to go to school, and eventually founded the famous Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University). In my eyes, this book is completely unproblematic. It's his raw story... Continue Reading →
