Pray for a Miracle

There is too much suffering in the world. There is the suffering that makes the headlines; conflict in Iraq and Syria or the Ebola virus for instance. Then there is the suffering that we don’t read about in the newspapers; the homeless woman in central London or the young man with cancer. Every day there… Continue reading

Truth Beyond Christianity: There is no free will

The first thing to make clear is that I have every respect for Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, and people of all faiths and no faith. Our beliefs, whatever they are, are God-given. It is even correct to say that God gives atheists their unbelief, as strange as that may sound. But the purpose of this… Continue reading
