I don’t believe for a second…

…that Zachary King was a “satanist high wizard”. Sorry, but I just don’t buy such claims without firm documentation. I hail from the world of Evangelicalism and I remember the career of Mike Warnke, which you can read all about here: I also hail from the Catholic world and I remember the credulity with which […]

A reader has a question about the Fall and its effects

He writes: Hey I have a question about the Fall – I can understand that humans were given immortality and freedom from the troubles of the world by God as a preternatural gift, and we lost it through the sin of our First Parents. What I cannot imagine is how creation itself was changed by […]

Rebecca Hamilton Brings the Truth

…again: Euthanasia is medical murder. It is also, in an increasing number of locations around the globe, legalized murder. In the midst of the debate about whether or not it should be legal for your doctor to kill you, including murdering you without your knowledge or permission, we have the do-it-yourself death pushers. Dr Philip […]

Compare and Contrast: Christianism vs. the Gospel

Christianism is a false gospel of violent, faithless, misogynous, white spite that believe only in earthly power but uses Christian forms and imagery to seduce the faithful away from the gospel. The gospel is, you know, the gospel: faith in Jesus Christ who took up his cross, abjured violence, and died for his enemies. Jesus […]

Love is so Poignant and Beautiful in Grief

David Alexander writes a beautiful tribute to his mother, who entered eternal life on November 6, 2016: Our mother taught us the redemptive value of suffering. You never know how much you need God, until you uncover the veil of delusion, and realize that all is not well. No one needed God more than our […]

Let us grant, for argument’s sake, that the death penalty is indeed a just and proportionate response to […]
