Friday Frivolity: The Force of Christmas

Since I posted a clip of Ben Shapiro earlier this week, I thought I’d also share this video I came across which outlines what we can learn from the way he argues:
As an aside, I disagree with the video’s author on the point about abortion. Firstly, nothing which Ben says about the unborn is not biologically, scientifically correct. Secondly, many pro-choice advocates would concede these descriptions, favouring instead the argument that the woman’s choice to end the life of her child trumps the child’s right to life.

Today’s song is “Only Jesus” by Casting Crowns:
Make it count, leave a mark, build a name for yourself
Dream your dreams, chase your heart, above all else
Make a name the world remembers
But all an empty world can sell is empty dreams
I got lost in the light but it was up to me
To make a name the world remembers
But Jesus is the only name to remember
And I, I don’t want to leave a legacy
I don’t care if they remember me
Only Jesus
And I, I’ve only got one life to live
I’ll let every second point to Him
Only Jesus
All the kingdoms built, all the trophies won
Will crumble into dust when it’s said and done
‘Cause all that really matters
Did I live the truth to the ones I love
Was my life the proof that there is only One
Whose name will last forever
Jesus is the only name x2
Jesus is the only name to remember
Jesus is the only name x2
Jesus is the only name to remember
Jesus is the only name to remember
I don’t want to leave a legacy
I don’t care if they remember me
Only Jesus
Only Jesus
My favourite non-Christian defender of the pro-life position is, without a doubt, Ben Shapiro. In the clip below he artfully (and amusingly) tests the logic of his pro-choice interlocutor…
