Why do good things happen to bad people? And why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? These fundamental challenges to the existing of a benevolent, all powerful deity are often dismissed by theists with the often espoused, and always misguided “free will” argument. The salient point apparently being that even though […]

Christianity as a Polytheistic Religion?
The concept of monotheism has always bothered me. Â How can someone believe in only one God? Â Even if they are deluded to the point that they believe they can communicate with a higher being, how do they know it’s the same being every time.

Whilst religion claims to know all the answers, even to questions we haven’t asked yet, science strives to improve its understanding, answering and asking questions along the way.

What if I am God?
Throughout many religions there exists a concept of some form of anti-god. Whether you name it Angra Mainyu, Satan, Asmodeus or something else, the underlying principal remains fairly consistent. This entity is there to test mankind, a personification (or at least objectification) of evil. In many cases, there is this perceived battle between good and […]
