January 22 2023 By dvirtue NARCISSISM: A CHRISTIAN PSYCHOLOGIST'S PERSPECTIVE

Like other human traits (both normal and disordered), narcissistic traits and symptoms are statistically on the "normal curve."

December 27 2022 By dvirtue Charity volunteer arrested, charged for silent prayer "thoughtcrime" near abortion facility

"It's abhorrently wrong that I was searched, arrested, interrogated by police and charged simply for praying in the privacy of my own mind. Censorship zones purport to ban harassment, which is already illegal. Nobody should ever be subject to harassment. But what I did was the furthest thing from harmful -- I was exercising my freedom of thought, my freedom of religion, inside the privacy of my own mind.
