This is not particularly my area of expertise, but isn't that one of the benefits of polytheism? ...

Help me understand. Christians believe Jesus was a good person right. But God was mad at humans and wanted someone to be tortured to death to make him feel better about our sins so he chose to have hi ...

Holy crap!

I thought, when I first heard this, that this clip was a joke.

I went through a few of the other clips on Youtube, and some of Pastor Mannings stuff is absolutely appalling! Manning ...

Absolute truth; the type most religions claim is gained from some sort of divine authority and Probable truth; that which is most likely true and is gained by repeatable, independent observation and e ...
