Is there a Divine Creator? That has been the question debated by Mankind since the beginning of time. As Christians‚ we know that God has made everything with His mighty hands. In the 19th century‚ a theory was proposed by Charles Darwin that would change the outlook on life forever. Darwin proposed that there was no Creator at all. Perhaps we have “evolved” into the creatures we are today from a common ancestor. This topic is very important because the view of our origins can shape a whole societies’

Early Christians expected suffering. Christ had died on the cross‚ so there was no higher honor than to imitate that death through accepting martyrdom (witness by one’s blood). As the writer of 1 Peter expressed it‚ “If you suffer as a Christian‚ do not be ashamed‚ but praise God that you bear that name.” (4:16) The Roman Empire was generally pretty tolerant of other religions. So why persecute the Christians? Reasons for the persecution emerge from the record of Christianity’s first three centuries

Personally speaking the use of “anno Domini” (AD) and “before Christ” (BC)‚ always distorted my perception of history in regards to my agnostic ideology. Stemming from the Gregorian calendar‚ BC/AD is based on the historical existence of Jesus of Nazareth‚ commonly recognized as “the son of God — Jesus Christ” in Christian mythology. The use of the acronyms BC/AD insinuates and reinforces monotheistic beliefs while simultaneously excluding other religious doctrines. Taking into consideration that

Logically your behaviors‚ your actions‚ your motivations‚ should be consistent with your worldview. For example‚ a worldview of atheism‚ which is a belief that God does not exist‚ explains the creation of the universe and of life as randomness acting over a very long time. In such a worldview‚ it is easy to adopt a worldview that people can have no purpose‚ for it is by accident that

the Rye has sold more than 65 million copies‚ this may be more of an incidental association than that which Chapman had to the book. Chapman‚ as a Christian‚ was offended by Lennon’s open avowal of atheism. Chapman hoped that his deed would keep children from following Lennon down the path to atheism. As far as Hinckley goes‚ it seems that the book was simply on his coffee table. After all‚ Lee Harvey Oswald owned Catcher in the Rye as well‚ but he also owned books by Marx‚ Hitler and Orwell‚ so
