Send us Fan Mail Sin is one of the most mystical experiences of humanity.  We all know what it is, we all experience with it, we all wrestle with it.

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes in the world, the question dictates the answers.  As a result, it is very important that we not only ask the right questions but also be wary of trick questions out to trap us.  In this video, we examine this phenomena, going through simple but deceptive questions like "does God exist?" or "should a woman have a right over her own body?"  I hope you f...

Send us Fan Mail Heidegger said life is "being-in-the-world" and I totally agree.  It is one thing to play around and flirt with high and lofty ideas, but it is also important to acknowledge and wrestle with their physical and spiritual consequences in our lives.  Therefore, I feel it is integral that we start a social discourse platform or series on this channel to develop our understan...

Send us Fan Mail The problem of evil has managed to stand the test of time as one of the strongest arguments in the field of apologetics.  As a result, I have decided that we should approach the problem of evil as the next part of this series on The Apologist's Handbook.

Send us Fan Mail We've all seen it before. Someone claims that they are the victim, then uses the label of victimhood to justify all of their actions.  This occurs on all sides of the political spectrum and is in fact a very human thing to do.
