Every once in a while I'll feel compelled to run off at the mouth (and the keyboard) about what I hold to be true. Everyone believes in something and these are things that I believe:

THE NEVER-ENDING LIST OF WHAT I BELIEVE
(Meaning that my mind won't change about most of these. You're welcome to try, but I don't think you'll be successful.)

1) That there is a GOD, that HE is a three-part Being (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), and that HE created all that there is.

2) That there are Absolute Goods and Absolute Truths.

3) That the love my wife and I share is a blessing and a real and tangible thing and not a byproduct of some psychological issue or biological need.

4) That we should all endeavor to respect public space because it makes society better for everyone.

5) That people should be responsible for the choices they make.

6) The Bachelor’s Degree has become the new “high school diploma” since you need one to even get within shouting distance of an entry level job.

7) That donuts should never be slathered in ketchup.

8) That French fries should not be eaten with mayonnaise. Hey, Europe! What happened to your taste buds?

9) That the person that decided to dip a Snickers bar in corn dog batter and deep fry it (I saw it on PBS!) should have serious psychotherapy done.

10) That men and women are different in many ways and should revel and rejoice in those differences. ¡Vive la difference! (Notice I said different. Not better or worse, just different.

11) That America, warts and all, is the best nation on this earth. Want proof? Immigration policies and issues aside (that’s a debate for another time), look at all the immigrants risking life and limb to get to this country. I don’t see other nations having this problem on the massive scale that the US does. People all over the world recognize the advantages of living in America. It’s a shame that some of her natural-born citizens don’t have the same perspective.

12) That Kevin Smith an overrated screenwriter and director. Go away, dude. Go away.
