The Ice Cream Dilemma (poll)

My last few posts have been rather heavy in terms of the subject matter, so today I thought I’d lighten the mood a little with a hopefully thought-provoking poll. Here’s a real life 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

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
