Zach Snyder's Batman v Superman offered a controversial dark knight that was truly beginning to fall into the darkness he claimed to fight (the extended addition makes that even more clear than the theatrical version). The Killing Joke, which is based on the 1988 story arc from Alan Moore and Brain Bolland, builds on this trajectory in a move that might rightly be called … [Read more...]
Politics & God: Should Christians be involved in Politics?
Should Christians be engaged in politics? The answer to that question is "yes!" Christians are called to participate in society as a whole.

Why Do Christians Become Atheists?
Atheism is disbelief or lack of belief in God. A minority of atheists do believe in a universal spirit or god. If we had our “questioning God” moments in our life, we would empathize with those who convert to Atheism. On the other hand, if our [Christian] life has been hunky-dory and comfortable thus far, we would be surprised, shocked, and even judgmental at those … [Read more...]

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
I bet your parents taught you that you mean something, that you're here for a reason. My parents taught me a different lesson, dying in the gutter for no reason at all...

Why Did God Kill 25 Million People? (A Brief Response To The Atheists)
It does not matter whether God killed 25 million people, those numbers do not matter. Hence 25 million is not a number to be concerned about; instead the concern is about God’s justice, “Was God just in killing a large number of people as recorded in the Old Testament?” Justice is God’s ontologically necessary attribute, so HE cannot unjustly kill even one person. … [Read more...]
Has Science Disproved Prayer?
Atheists deploy science as an instrument to negate religion. Through the deployment of science, if they prove the ineffectiveness of prayer, they believe that they could deny God’s existence. Atheists refer to verses from the Bible that apparently mandate 100% answer to prayer (Matthew 17:20, 18:19, 21:22; Luke 11:9-10). So if a less than 100% answer to prayer is observed, … [Read more...]
