Hello!
This is an idea that I thought of and thought I'd give a try. Send me (your friendly neighborhood Catholic) a question about the Catholic religion, Catholic apologetics and philosophy, and/or questions about my personal experience with Catholicism. ***I AM NOT A THEOLOGIST, and will be taking a lot of information from the Catechism and reliable Catholic authors***
Let's see how this goes!

A Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy and Thoughts of Christianity
Why do so many people on this planet believe in a divine being? Is it logical to believe in one? There are so many claims by so many religions, so which is real and logical? Religious sects cannot even agree amongst themselves on doctrines, how can there be a One true divine being then? Why do Christians believe this? Can 'evolution' and 'God' co-exist? This book uses logic and modern day examples to explain the numerous questions that may flood atheists, agnostics and Christians alike. The first section deals with the logic of a divine being, the second deals with specific issues in Christianity, and the third section contains some of the personal psalms and reflections on things that a Christian might face and struggle. Each section contains a collection of articles, some academic, some reflective, and some argumentative. As society progresses in the direction of science and technology, logic and scientific validation plays an increasing role in everyday thought processes. In the scientific and logical world, religion, faith, and beliefs get continuously challenged. Many once-faithful Christians may begin to question their Christian beliefs, or get confused on the validity of the numerous doctrines and teachings of various Christian sects. Similarly, the agnostic is thrown into confusion amongst the claims of many religions and their sects on the 'Truth'. On the other end of the spectrum, the hard-core atheist begins to question the intelligence of more than 50 % of the world population that believe in some sort of divine being(s). The book utilizes logical arguments, and expositions of modern day examples in hopes to bring a clearer picture to issues dealing with a divine creator, the search for the truth, and certain issues in Christianity.Concluida
The Interesting Book: Deeper Conversation With God
"The Cave You Fear To Enter Hold The Treasure You Seek." Are you someone who believes in something beyond our understanding-a person who says, "There's something out there, but we won't know it until we can"? Who told you that the "right moment" even exists when time itself is a construct created by humans? Honestly, I'd suggest you put this book down and not waste your time, because everyone has their own "right time" to understand what I'm trying to convey here. I recorded myself while talking about things I had never even heard of before as a non religious person with lacking GOD concept. . It was me, yet it felt like an upgraded version of myself guiding me to develop further. This version of me presented an option: What if everything you know, everything you've been, and everything you've labeled could be erased, allowing you to start over and build a completely new sense of self? HER said, "If you're not ready to understand who I am and what I'm trying to say, then 'QUIT.' Because it took immense time, pain, and experience for you to endure and evolve to reach me and sustain this communication." And so, I did. The book you'll be reading is a transcript of the audio I recorded. Interestingly, it resembles a religious text-though, believe me, I didn't intend it to. It just happened. Later, I searched for the first "God word" that corresponded with specific numbers through the transcripts, and I discovered connections to related verses across 12 major global religions, smaller religions, indigenous beliefs, new religious movements, denominations, and sects which you will find them in the book. But here's the truth: everyone is capable of understanding-once they reach the right intellectual and spiritual evolution. I assume you've decided to stay. So, what if I told you that to truly be born into real reality, you must first experience a kind of death?....Concluida
INCAPABLE - BOOK I: THE FALLEN
ONCE my mom told me that we, as humans, only fear what we do not know and that that is the sole reason for violence. We do not know what is to come of something, so in retaliation we immediately fight it off before we can ever find out; before we can ever see if there is any beauty in it. My mom is gone now. Along with any sanity we as a people have left. The year is 2193, and the world is at war. We, humans, are at war with each other only because of what we are and what we can do. We fear what we do not know, thus all we know is ignorance. The government, our democracy, our people and our world have fallen. Nothing good ever comes from being afraid of the abnormalities of others, especially when those abnormalities are amazing. The truth is, none of us are normal. Everyone's definition of normality is different, making it humanly impossible for anyone to ever accomplish the craved label of "normal". Then again, everything we have grown capable of was once described as humanly impossible. By those standards none of us are human. Not even me. A U T H O R ' S N O T E : This book is completed and there will be a second book coming out sometime next year, most likely in the summer. Please excuse any grammar issues or misspellings I have. I hope there are not many, but please consider I do all of the editing myself. Also this is a revised edition of Incapable - Book I: The Fallen. I think I have made it much better than the original story I wrote in the summer of this year and posted only a few months ago. I hope you enjoy! Happy reading. Xoxo, Miquéla P.S. I'm more than open to Q & A in the comments section or on my board if you have any questions regarding the book or just in general. :)Concluida
Immortal Hearts
"Monsters exist. Heroes died. Hell has taken over the world, put humans into slavery, killed men, women, and children, but there are still warriors, who are recruited. This is our world, where kids at the age of thirteen begin fighting the dangers that face our world; they train and at the age of eighteen they will be put out into the real world. Schools were built everywhere, and kids were moved up based on their age. My world was a little different, my brother and I were trained ever since we could walk; we were put into battle once we reached seven years old. Today my parents are transferring me and my brother to a new school, before we were homeschooled but since my dad and mom are going to be leaving for quite some time they thought it was best for us to go to a real school where we will interact with other groups."Concluida
The Science Of Reality Shifting
Challenging the cynicism of determination, both scientific and theological, is a necessity for the inquistive mind looking to break free from the chains of our current reality. All shifters seeking to shed the perpetuated self-doubts drummed into our subconscious minds that become limiting beliefs which hold back the shifter from shifting, need to read up about the science behind shifting, including Schrodinger's Cat, Hugh Everett's Many Worlds theory, simulation theory, and all the latest advances in quantum physics, to fully understand there is more to life than the here and the now. So long as society continues to view consciousness operating within fixed parameters, determined by physiology, social environment or divine plans / fate, our only experienced reality will be forever determined by outside doctrines rather than our own free will, enslaving ourselves into a lifetime of unhappiness, low self-worth and victimhood from which we struggle to escape. The paradigm shift of reality shifting, offers a means of liberating self-determination whether temporary or permanent, which was not widely accessible prior to the advent of the world wide web. To assure yourself reality shifting (quantum jumping) is real, read on, and discover how some of the sharpest minds of science validate a multiverse of many realities which you can now experience for yourselves.Concluida
Ramblings of a drunken monkey
This biography of personal philosophy was started when I was inebriated, the middle bit was done when enlightened and the ending wrote itself. I've dipped in and out of this between life, work, parenting, writing a fiction novel or two, training and healing along the whole way. These are the words that come to me about, well, everything; the way the world works and indeed doesn't work in my eyes. Whether it will work in the end remains to be seen but indeed during the two years I've been writing this the world has changed, both for the better and the worse. Wars, murder, politics, religious hysteria and mass hate has been balanced by an increase in enlightenment, acceptance of alternative therapies and widespread use of 'mindfulness' and the will for peace. In this time societies have stretched to the limits of depravity and saintliness and I presume will eventually break or twang back to an uncomfortable medium. Whilst it has been horrible to watch at times I have to admit that these extremes are necessary for a population to understand how far it can and should go, like a small child who tests at being good and bad to see it's parents reactions before settling into a balanced middle ground. The question there is, what are the parents like? Well, as I see it, Dad's a bit of a devil and Mum's an angel so I'm sure the kid will turn out alright in the end.Concluida

Encyclopaedia Caelumnica
A second companion work to my Tales of the Divine Universe series. It is not essential reading to understand that series but I thought they may be interest to some. They are essentially me showing my working as to how I built different aspects of the Divine Universe in my head, hopefully allowing me to keep it coherent and avoid any of those annoying incidents where the world becomes contradictory. What will be published here will be my detailed notes put into a parodic essay/encyclopaedic form purporting to be from scholars of Caelum. The knowledge here is not necessarily representative as to what is known on Caelum at the time of the events in the first books in the series but will hopefully give some insight (alongside the side stories in The Divine Universe: A True History) into what is going on in the world. Hopefully some of you will enjoy seeing it, and maybe you'll even agree it has helped create a coherent magical/mystical system. I intend to add to this over time as I manage to turn my inchoate handwritten scribbles into something intelligible as lore of the Divine Universe. may add to them over time as I develop further lore, or further questions about them arise which I need to answer to my own satisfaction in order to be able to write the main story. I hope someone other than me may enjoy exposure to my process for creating another world. Please feel free on any of my works to offer criticism, offer feedback or request clarifications additions to this or any other work which would be helpful or enjoyable.
Exodus
Two Priests must join forces to exorcise one of the many Demons plaguing the land of Rome. It all begins when a child is possessed by a powerful Demon, and must be stopped by an Exorcist. ____ This is a short story inspired from a literal Roblox game that me and my good friend played, as well as some movies and my current knowledge of Catholicism, and Demonology. It's funny, but this wasn't meant to be very serious until I realized I could make a very long story on it, so this is essentially a One Shot to see if anyone likes it. Please let me know what you think of the story. Depending on how people like this, I could create an official version of Exodus, making this short story into an arc for the official version.

Realities
What is real? I know what I saw and experienced, but THEY say it isn't real, that it never happened. THEY say that I'm here for my own good. Who are THEY? Why do they get to decide? I'm so tired I just want to go home...how can I go home?Concluida
