“Honoring the victims and survivors begins with our renewed recognition of the value and dignity of each person.”
— Barack Obama
And just like Adolf Hitler, we must be careful of our application of words like “person,” “value,” and “dignity.” If a mother-to-be chooses that she doesn’t want a child— or worse, that child might might have a debilitating issue like Down Syndrome—, the baby inside her is not a person, and she should face no bigotry for wanting to remove the clump of cells— which are of little value to her— from inside her body.
Words are dangerous and their meaning should be controlled so as to not confuse. If we allow these clumps of cells to be deemed people, America is guilty of atrocity outweighing that of Nazi Germany. Which we’re not. Because personhood is determined by persons other than the person that it is determined for. And they aren’t people.

If I can glean anything from these open letters, it’s this–maybe people (my people, Millennials) are leaving the Church because we are spoiled, selfish, uneasily satisfied, hypercritical, consumeristic and socially enlightened but biblically light-weight.
An Open Letter to All the People Writing (And Sharing) Open Letters About What’s Wrong with The Church
So many good points in this article. As a Millennial, I love hearing humbling things from other Millennials. That we are often biblically light-weight is a major problem today. Without solid apologetics or even a historical understanding of arguments against — or for — our faith, many fail to fight against the evil that is gripping our country today.

The most commonly cited figure for the total number of Jews killed is six million — around 78 percent of the 7.3 million Jews in occupied Europe at the time. Additionally, the Nazis murdered approximately two to three million Soviet POWs, two million ethnic Poles, up to 1,500,000 Romani, 200,000 handicapped, political and religious dissenters, 15,000 homosexuals, and 5,000 Jehovah's Witnesses, bringing the total genocide toll to around 11 million.
9 Things You Should Know About Auschwitz and Nazi Extermination Camps by Joe Carter
The atrocities that were committed by the Nazis are often too extreme to grasp. It’s because of evil men like Hitler that I believe America should intervene from time to time in other countries’ affairs.

I jokingly said to my coworker this morning that everyone in the world sent this to me this weekend, though it was more like a dozen or so. I’m an archer and this is awesome. Mildly dorky, but the guy is definitely talented.

Much hoopla has been made lately about design services disappearing. Studios seem to be getting swallowed up by larger corporations to help aid their in-house design teams. This has led many folks to believe the design service industry as a whole is dying.
Well, it’s not.
