Ice Cream Dilemma Poll Results

Hi everyone! You may remember that last Wednesday I ran a poll asking readers to vote in relation to a fabricated scenario involving ice cream. In case you missed it, this was the scenario: It’s been a hard day at work and I’m feeling drained. As I leave work, I say a prayer to thank… Continue reading

Is Christianity True?

For the purposes of this article, I take for granted a belief in the perspective of monotheism. Arguments for the existence of God are not the focus of this article, but I have discussed this matter extensively elsewhere on this blog and in my books and videos (see, for instance, this video entitled ‘How Do… Continue reading

Suffering, God, and Covid-19

Is God responsible for human suffering? This question has been a major consideration of mine ever since God revealed Himself to me and I became a Christian back in 2008. I have considered Biblical interpretations of suffering, and have also explored a range of non-Christian arguments as to why we suffer, including those from Eastern… Continue reading

Why Would God Do This?

I’ve been feeling very angry. I just have no idea why God has to make everything so hard and miserable all the time. All the sickness, depression, poverty, hospitals, fear, bad news, etc, etc, etc, every single day for years, decades, centuries. It’s so annoying. Does God really find pleasure in making us all suffer… Continue reading
