Is TikTok the Ultimate Contraception?

2 days ago | breakpoint.org | John Stonestreet |G. Shane Morris

A hundred years before the invention of the television, Danish theologian and philosopher Søren Kierkegaard wrote: Suppose someone invented an instrument, a convenient little talking tube which, say, could be heard over the whole land … I wonder if the police would not forbid it, fearing that the whole country would become mentally deranged if it were used… The prescient comment was part of his criticism of the daily press, specifically how the constant stream of news inflates the importance...
A New Pope, People Turn to AI for Religion, and When is Error Heresy?

5 days ago | breakpoint.org | John Stonestreet |Maria R. Baer

Robert Prevost has been elected Pope Leo XIV. What should we be looking for in the new leader? A new law in Washington calls religious freedom into question in cases of reporting abuse. AI-fueled spiritual fantasies and psychosis are destroying families and lives. John and Maria offer a framework on discerning truth from heresy in different religions and denominations.
Messing with Imago Dei

Should we “optimize” human beings? That was the question Anna Louise Sussman addressed recently in The New York Times, describing a new process that allows fertility services to bring only the healthiest, least disease-prone children into the world. Polygenic embryo screening uses AI to find genes with statistical correlations to disorders such as diabetes, autism, heart disease, cancer, and schizophrenia.
We’ve seen the Dire Wolf Movie and It Doesn’t End Well

1 week ago | breakpoint.org | John Stonestreet |G. Shane Morris

Recently, TIME magazine announced that the biotechnology company Colossal has resurrected the dire wolf, a species that went extinct thousands of years ago. “This is Remus,” read the caption over a photo of a robust-looking white wolf. “He’s a dire wolf. The first to exist in over 10,000 years.” According to Colossal, this is a first step to resurrecting other long-extinct animals, like the woolly mammoth. As it turns out, the headline is an exaggeration.
The Papal Conclave

1 week ago | breakpoint.org | John Stonestreet |Glenn Sunshine

Today the College of Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church begins the conclave to elect a new pope. While the results matter a great deal to Catholics, they also matter for Protestants and the Orthodox. Despite the significant and irreconcilable doctrinal differences—on the role of Mary, the sacraments, Scripture, salvation, and the fundamental nature of the Church—all Christians should pray for God to intervene in who replaces Francis as pope.
A Win for Dr. Allan Josephson, ADF, and for Children

1 week ago | breakpoint.org | John Stonestreet

At some point, the world must reckon with how, over the last decade, the obviously unscientific claim that men can become women and vice versa birthed an anti-scientific movement that won the endorsement of much of the scientific and medical community in the developed world. A major part of the story is that dissent was silenced. Last week, the University of Louisville agreed to pay nearly $1.6 million in damages and attorneys’ fees to Dr. Allan Josephson.
Are Children Hell?

1 week ago | breakpoint.org | G. Shane Morris

Is happiness a good reason to have children? Well, yes and no. There’s plenty of evidence that married parents are happy. But “happiness” isn’t something most people find by seeking it. It’s a byproduct of living a meaningful—and therefore often a difficult—life. Recently, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Chappell Roan, whose real name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, remarked on a comedy podcast that in her view, parenthood is pure misery:“All of my friends who have kids are in hell,” she told the host.
SCOTUS Hears Case of Catholic Charter School, a Bombshell Study on the Abortion Pill, and the Benefits of Early Marriage

1 week ago | breakpoint.org | John Stonestreet |Maria R. Baer

Colorado and Oklahoma are two states debating the place of religion in public schools. A new study finds the risks of taking the abortion pill are drastically greater than we’ve been told. And new research debunks the supposed perils of marrying early.
Marriage Isn’t Just a Piece of Paper

1 week ago | breakpoint.org | John Stonestreet |G. Shane Morris

Even as the American marriage rate has steadily declined, the cohabitation rate has steadily grown. According to 2019 Pew Research study, more Americans have cohabitated at some point than have been married. Fifteen times more couples live together outside of marriage today than in 1960.
Persecuted Christian Women Around the World

2 weeks ago | breakpoint.org | John Stonestreet |Timothy Padgett

Back in February, the persecution watchdog organization International Christian Concern reported on a group of Iranian Christian women who had crossed the southern border into the United States. After seeking asylum as victims of religious persecution, they were deported to Panama. After a brief detainment, the women were released with permission to stay in the country for up to 90 days.
