The Philosophy of Philosophy: Love It or Hate It

Posted on April 30, 2026 by RC

Posted on April 21, 2026 by RC

Dear Exvangelicals, I’m probably the last person you’d want to hear from, an old school evangelical. I’m more conservative politically than the most ardent President Trump fanboy. Reformed, head of my home, still affirming that marriage is only between one … Continue reading →
