    What the left considers "progress" (the elimination of technology, the destruction of the 'nuclear family', the promotion of extreme and disgusting sexual deviance) has created a repulsive society where mentally-disturbed cross-dressing pedophiles are given access to children and rebranded as...

    Why are we here?

    If God willed us into existence then our existence is contingent upon God and if God is beyond material such that the closest we can come to describing his nature is spirit, then our material existence in and of itself is not the end but a means to an end.

    Why did God create evil?

    The simple answer is that God didn't create evil. Everything God created is good. Evil is not extant. Evil doesn't exist in and of itself. Evil is the absence of good, just as cold is the absence of heat, and darkness is the absence of light.

    Question for believers: Are we within God's jurisdiction?

Jurisdiction means to speak the law. So who has the ultimate right to speak the law? Is it God, or is it...
