“Another thing we wanted to do, a lot of shows or movies that are in the future or the post-apocalyptic are very bleached, desaturated desert environments and we wanted to do the opposite of that.

“It's no understatement that the church has done a poor job in teaching our young people that reason and faith are not opposites, and that atheists are far from being on the side of reason. You can find on our website a chart which I use to demonstrate the various worldviews work out, and which one, Christianity, is rational. Many kids, however, who grow up huddled in a Christian environment find themselves in the university setting completely unequipped to defend the rationality of the Christian faith against the secular humanist worldview so prevalent on college campuses.” PeopleReasonDoneUseKidsChristianJobsYoungGrowsSidesChurchPoorChristianityGrowing UpEnvironmentTeachingCollegeOppositesUniversityAtheistVariousWork OutSettingRationalSettingsHumanistSecularRationalityWebsiteWorldviewCampusChristian FaithUnderstatementCollege Campus Author:Charles Colson
“Every piece of remotely responsible research that has been done in the last 20 years on this issue has shown there is no difference between children who are raised by same-sex parents and children who are raised by opposite-sex parents.

“It is a perverse faith, in that it reveres the "environment" ahead of people who live in it. It is a most ascetic superstition, in that it demands we live less happily and less freely and with less prosperity - the opposite of, say, the Protestant work ethic that helped build Ontario.” PeopleEnvironmentDemandEthicsOppositesProsperitySuperstitionsWork EthicProtestantsOntarioProtestant Work Ethic Author:Ezra Levant

“Having a child is the polar opposite experience of the awards season experience. The awards-season experience requires you to be out in the community, in the heart of the community, at the nucleus of the film community in a really committed way for about a six-month period of time. Having a child requires you to nest, to be in your home, and to create and make your home and environment that is one that is potentially very welcoming and nurturing for a child.” WayHeartChildrenHomeFilmCommunityEnvironmentMonthsPeriodsSixOppositesSeasonsCommittedWelcomeAwardsSix MonthsNestsNurturingNucleusPolar Opposites Author:Mahershala Ali
“The rich and powerful countries are trying to wreck as much as possible. You know, go off the cliff as soon as you can. Extract every drop of hydrocarbons off the ground and destroy the environment.

“If diversity is a source of wonder, its opposite - the ubiquitous condensation to some blandly amorphous and singularly generic modern culture that takes for granted an impoverished environment - is a source of dismay. There is, indeed, a fire burning over the earth, taking with it plants and animals, cultures, languages, ancient skills and visionary wisdom. Quelling this flame, and re-inventing the poetry of diversity is perhaps the most important challenge of our times.” IfsEarthCultureLanguageChallengesAnimalWonderEnvironmentFireModernSourceSkillsDiversityOppositesPlantAncientGrantedBurningFlamesOur TimeVisionariesInventingGenericPlants And AnimalsDismayModern CultureFire BurningCondensation Author:Wade Davis
“Contrary to popular belief, we do not face a choice between economy and ecology, It is often said that protecting the environment would constrain or even undermine economic growth.

“Listen, the environmental movement is not about protecting the fishes and the birds so much as recognizing that nature is the infrastructure of our communities ... If you're saying the values that drive the environmental movement are uncool and antithetical to America, then I would argue just the opposite. If you think being patriotic is not cool, I'd say that's not true either. I'd say the most patriotic thing you can do is to take care of the environment and try to live sustainably.” IfsThinkingTryingCareAmericaValuesCan DoCommunityEnvironmentMovementBirdOppositesEnvironmentalFishesTake CareArguingPatrioticRecognizingInfrastructureOur CommunityUncoolMost Patriotic Author:Robert F.
