Eternal Conscious Torment?

Greetings, friends. This article is an update on my theological explorations, and my attempt to fully understand whether I can reconcile my belief in God’s sovereign control over the unfolding of all events with the Christian gospel. When Christians discuss the doctrine of hell, they usually take one of three positions: traditionalism, conditionalism, or universalism.… Continue reading

I suspected before I began reading that I would be drawn back into the Christian worldview, as the words of the Bible always communicate in a powerful way. I… Continue reading

I Don’t Even Exist

Those who are familiar with my philosophical outlook will know that I describe human beings as puppets under the control of an omnipresent God. It’s important to mention that I use the word puppets rather than the word robots to describe human beings, and there’s a significant difference between the two. Robots are pre-programmed and… Continue reading
