Alex Parrish My name is Alex Parrish and I am a 44-year old natural-born American citizen (native Floridian). I have a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering with a minor in mathematics from the University of Central Florida in Orlando. With a background in technical research as well as scientific thinking and reasoning, I am not a conventional blogger/writer. I am a traditionalist who believes that we need to get our country back to the foundational principles it was built upon. Our Founding Fathers would have never wanted our country to get where we are now. And I believe, with the right people and the right plan, we can get back to where we were meant to be; a shining beacon to the nations lighting the path to a better way of life. I am also a dedicated, born-again Christian with a strong, reasoned belief in the Bible as being the infallible Word of God. I tell you this so you understand that, while I am an analytical, logical, and scientific thinker, I compare my reasoning and conclusions with what the Bible says about the subject. I believe that our Founding Fathers wanted there to be a greater involvement of Christianity and the Bible in government and the so-called “separation of church and state” was never a view in which they espoused. I will argue this case in some of the articles I will be writing and will provide evidence supporting this view as well. That being said, I will try to minimize the amount of Biblical reference in my dissertations because I realize that not everyone is affected by this style of discussion and might be turned off by it. Understand that this does not, in any way, lessen my stance that the Bible is the complete infallible Word of God. And since His Word is Truth, it is the only standard by which we should use to live our lives. Recent articles (read all articles by Alex Parrish) |
