Our Offer and Request

Pledge Drive? Collection Plate?

If you like PBS, think of this as the annual pledge drive. If you like church, think of this as the collection plate. If you don't like either link back out of this page and enjoy Bible Freedom Science Network. You are welcome to whatever we offer without charge and without guilt. Everything on this site is free for personal use and access is open to all. See my copyright notice for details on a few restrictions.

How Bible Freedom Science Network Can Help You.

We offer an alternative to both atheism and childish religion: the biblical God living in the ordinary world of quarks and stars. The nexus between these two is libertarian politics.

How You Can Help Us.

There are three threads of civilization that make us what we are: Christianity, freedom, and skeptical inquiry. This is not conventional wisdom. One friend called Bible Freedom Science a triple oxymoron. If you. like me, understand that science cannot survive without freedom and freedom cannot survive without the biblical value system, then join me in facing down the pagan, statist, anti intellectuals that dominate our media, our schools, our churches, and our politics. This does not mean a physicist needs to go to mass every day, nor that devote Christians must go all libertarian on the drug war.

It does mean that science, Christianity, and liberty are allies in the fight for the survival of our civilization. I invite you to join this battle. This flank of the battle field, the need for all three pillars of our civilization, is a weak point in our defense because we too often fight each other rather than see our common cause. Science, freedom, and Christianity have risen together but will fall together if our enemy divides us. That enemy sounds pious, gives scientists great sums of money, and invents new rights every day. It is the State, the guys with the guns, the gangs of lawyers without clients. Is government necessary? Yes. So is rat poison. It must be used. Carefully.

If you donate funds here they will be used to support essays, poetry, and blogs that braid Bible Freedom and Science together into a strong cord [Eccl. 4:9-12]. Alas, you will not be able to take a tax deduction for anything you contribute. At least not yet. Another important contribution you can make is a link to Bible Freedom Science from your web site. And you may email me with any comments that, if you permit me in your email, I will publish here.

What Comes Next?

Eventually I want Bible Freedom Science Network to be incorporated or some sort of partnership. I would also like to offer tax deductibility to donors.

This is not a church, nor a school, but a new thing that does not seem to be on the IRS radar. I am left with one option for the time being, which I have taken. I am Charles Johnsen and Bible Freedom Science Network is my personal DBA. I may say whatever I wish and so may you by email or forum on this site.

It is a dream of mine to set up a small charity to support home schooling and other alternatives to public schools. Scholarships, books, field trip support, visiting specialists in science, math, religion, and economics–there is great need and the potential for long term good. These things take money, which I do not have. This effort, it seems to me, is suited for incorporation and a non profit tax deduction.

I'm not some kid or amateur, but a fully trained professional clergyman and businessman with decades of experience (successes and failures) and honorable dealings behind me. Here is a brief biography about me. When I am able to work here full time there will be an essay every other day plus a sermon every week and perhaps a book or two in the long run. Before that level is reached, we will have contracts between us all to prevent fraud or misunderstanding. Until then I will send a full accounting by email to the contributors on request. Bible Freedom Science Network is and will be my personal DBA. I have registered a tax id number with the IRS and have registered with the State of Colorado as a charity soliciting contributions over the Internet (The name is Bible Freedom Science Network.) At any time you can see the financial in and out at the Colorado charity web site.
