Will vs Reality – The wretched soul
Your occasional cognitive dissonance may stem from how Christianity was presented to you. When you were told that you are a new creation, they were indeed accurate. Similarly, when they preached that you were blessed with everything necessary for life and godliness, their inspiration was evident. The divine presence within you surpasses the worldly forces. […]
Creationism vs Traducionism
In the ancient garden of Eden, Adam and Eve embarked on their journey of existence. Their mission? Multiplication, the propagation of life. Their firstborn, Cain, and then Abel, marked the dawn of humanity. Yet, within Christian circles, a profound debate rages, not about the physical act of procreation, but rather the mysterious alchemy that occurs […]

I wish you would fail!
Yes. I really do. I recall the disdain with which I treated some of my elders as I grew up. I recall, clearly, how judgemental I was towards the drunk uncles at family gatherings, how critical I was of the single parents around me. It just did not make sense to me how a whole […]
