About David Casper

I like to live, live to love, and love to like. I am a Catholic musician, blogger, speaker, apologist, and ADD-sufferer. I have ten fingers, ten toes, a goatee, and a cheap watch. I enjoy monocles, moustaches, and proper grammar. If any of these characteristics sound appealing, please feel free to inform me of that at davidcaspermusic@gmail.com. (You may contact me that way for other reasons as well.)

GODS: The Good Old Days Syndrome

Published August 12, 2013 • Written by David Casper Filed Under: Blog, Social Media and Tech, World and News, Young Adult, Youth

This week, I’ve decided to take a brief side route away from my posts about the Theology of Sound to raise public awareness of a particular disease. It’s an old disease – very old, in fact – and it has never been cured, nor will it ever be. It is not a bacteria, and hence… [Read More]

The Theology of Sound Part II: The Key to Beauty

Published July 15, 2013 • Written by David Casper Filed Under: Faith, Social Media and Tech

For Part I, click here. In Part I, we talked briefly about how we are part of creation, yet we are set apart from it, and that there is something, some quality about us that the all rest of the universe does not possess. As it turns out, there are many different ways to talk about… [Read More]

The Theology of Sound

Published July 1, 2013 • Written by David Casper Filed Under: Blog

A question for your consideration: Why does music hold such power over the human heart? Let that percolate for a minute, then read on. As a Catholic musician, I am particularly enamored with two things: theology and sound. I dive passionately into the depths of the Eschaton just as eagerly as I plunge myself headlong… [Read More]

The Silence of the Lamb

Published March 30, 2013 • Written by David Casper Filed Under: Young Adult, Youth

Ladies and gents, I think I might be clinically insane. There are many reasons I think this might be true, not the least of which is my propensity for cackling maniacally while formulating plans to take over the world, but if you’re not entirely convinced, I think I could prove my point if you just… [Read More]

What Love Is

Published January 26, 2013 • Written by David Casper Filed Under: Blog, Young Adult, Youth

Hey. Wanna try a little experiment? Search the Internet for the definition of “love” and see what you get. I tried this just recently and discovered something rather incredible. Specifically, I wanted to know what our society thinks love is. We as Catholics know that society’s understanding of love is pretty screwed-up, but I wanted… [Read More]

The ACTUAL Reason Contraception is Wrong

Published January 12, 2013 • Written by David Casper Filed Under: Blog, Family, Marriage and Love, Young Adult

Lately, I’ve been on the Internet. Depressing, I know. But I have. And in particular, I’ve noticed a widespread rash of anger directed at that crotchety old institution full of crotchety old men with crotchety old ideas: the Catholic Church. Seems there’s this thing happening out there in the “real world” (a phrase whose quotation… [Read More]

Why I Believe in Gay Equality

Published December 15, 2012 • Written by David Casper Filed Under: Blog, Marriage and Love, Young Adult, Youth

First things first: I apologize for my extended hiatus from posting blogs. Let’s just say a lot of very significant and life-changing things happened to me one after another. Second things second: I’d like to return to my regularly scheduled programming by speaking about a rather snaggly issue in our state/country/world at the moment: gay… [Read More]

Unsolicited Advice on Kissing

Published August 25, 2012 • Written by David Casper Filed Under: Young Adult, Youth

There’s something to be said for a good kiss. That said, what is to be said cannot be said because it loses something in the saying. So say what you will, but to say that you can say all that needs to be said about a good kiss is to say that you can say… [Read More]

How to Read the Bible

Published August 11, 2012 • Written by David Casper Filed Under: Blog, Young Adult, Youth

When I was a kid – probably around sixth grade or so – I decided that I wanted to read the Bible. I’d heard a lot about this Jesus fellow at church and in Sunday school, but I’d never actually just sat down and read the book He wrote. So I did. Or at least… [Read More]

How Far Is Too Far?

Published July 28, 2012 • Written by David Casper Filed Under: Youth

There are some questions that never seem to get properly answered when you ask them. “Daddy, why is the sky blue?” “Mommy, where do babies come from?” “Aunt Edna, could you help me reconcile the thermodynamic principle of entropy with the theory of evolution?” But the one that probably most frustrates high school teens, and… [Read More]

Basic Biology for the Dating Catholic

Published July 19, 2012 • Written by David Casper Filed Under: Young Adult, Youth

So you’re Catholic? Good. And so is SHE? Well, well, well. Even better. You know the “she” of whom I speak. Your heart’s beating a little faster just thinking about her. Perhaps your palms are sweating and you need to wipe down your keyboard with a Wet-Nap. But where do you start? How do you… [Read More]

The State of Your Heart

Published July 14, 2012 • Written by David Casper Filed Under: Young Adult, Youth

Attention, Catholics! Do you want to grow massively in holiness? Do you long to kindle the great flames of piety and prayerfulness in your heart? Do you want to do this easily, quickly, and effectively, in one simple step? I submit to you an answer that will likely make every young Catholic cringe in despair… [Read More]
