		<description><![CDATA[What does it mean to have a “right”? I’ve been contemplating this over the past week in the wake of watching congress pass health care reform on C-SPAN on Sunday. My gut level reaction, based on my basic presuppositions regarding the relationship between the individual and the state, is that our society has crossed the Rubicon towards an accelerated loss of individual liberty.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=offthebox.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11753431&amp;post=137&amp;subd=offthebox&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How does our society deal with controversial ideas? For too many, the first reaction (regardless of our place on the ideological spectrum) tends to be to label those with whom we disagree in order to cast them in the worst possible light. If the ideas of those we disagree with happens to have empirical backing, another successful strategy is to simply ignore their arguments. A great example of this is Charles Murray's book, Real Education.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=offthebox.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11753431&amp;post=91&amp;subd=offthebox&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the past month in my limited free time I have been working my way through N.T. Wright’s book, Surprised by Hope. This is the first thing by Wright that I have read, and I was quite impressed. The primary theme of the book is examining the ramifications of the Christian doctrine of resurrection. Wright defends a Biblical understanding of the resurrection and debunks a lot of popular misunderstandings in the process. Given that I am currently a student in the academy, I found these arguments particularly pressing.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=offthebox.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11753431&amp;post=83&amp;subd=offthebox&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[C.S. Lewis worried that the creative aesthetic spark of the Medieval worldview had been lost in a utilitarian modern culture. It should not be a surprise that Lewis would incorporate elements of the Medieval worldview, which was both his academic specialty and passion, into his fantasy novels. Yet as Michael Ward points out in his book Planet Narnia, this aspect of Lewis’s work went unnoticed for decades and is only now beginning to be explored.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=offthebox.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11753431&amp;post=70&amp;subd=offthebox&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this final blog on Geocentrism, I will present a rebuttal to the claims of modern geocentrists. This might seem like an exercise in futility, as those who reject geocentrism as gobbledygook will already have sound reasons for doing so, and those who do accept geocentrism are likely to adhere to the theory dogmatically and are unlikely to be swayed by any reason, religious, scientific, or otherwise.  Given that one in five Americans believes this stuff, however, it’s good to have a firm grasp on the issue.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=offthebox.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11753431&amp;post=58&amp;subd=offthebox&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Taking a quick break from discussing geocentrism and galactocentrism, here's an interesting discussion on whether particular "sceince" approaches in the Christian community have helped build the atheist movement. My two cents...bad science from Christians didn't create the problem, but hasn't helped either.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=offthebox.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11753431&amp;post=48&amp;subd=offthebox&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
