Theory on Origin of Evil
So, did you ever wonder where evil came from? How did God, making a world that was "good", end up with a world that had fallen? Well that is something I've pondered myself. In which I pondered for a long time. Finally I came up with a theory; or rather came to a certain conclusion about an existing theory of physics. Please R&R - I'm curious to know other's reactions to this?Complete

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.Complete
Inspiring Christian Stories
God created everything? The professor asked. "Yes sir", the student replied. The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are then God is evil". The student became quiet before such an answer. The professor was quite pleased with himself and boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth. Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question professor?" "Of course", replied the professor. The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?" "What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?" The students snickered at the young man's question. The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist.Complete
Nameless Love Story
Advocacy Stephen Dunn Always a little more fun on the Devil's side. I've been his advocate, have opposed what I most believed, testing if what I believed was true. It sometimes almost was; that's the best I can say. But you can bedevil yourself if you keep playing that game. You don't want to stand in a torturer's shoes for long. Still, when it comes to seeking a truth, a certain cruelty can go a long way- right through the heart of a thing to some other side. Doesn't every far-reaching truth cause a lesser truth to die? Most of us are content to stop at the heart. When I've been good's advocate, playing the less clever role, I've gone as far as good can go. Maybe some orthodoxy or some abomination lost ground for a while. Maybe not. The one time I had the Devil down, thinking he'd give, he whispered, "Remember, the punishment for being good is a life of goodness." I laughed, and he was gone.Complete
Before It's Too Late
YOLO. You Only Live Once. We always think that way. We only have one life to live so we have to live it to the fullest. Fullest in a way that we are neglecting are very own purpose of existence-to worship God.

Now, what will happen to us if our life in this world is about to end? Where are we to go? In what state of forever are we going to dwell? Forever suffering or forever happiness? Let's reflect before it's too late.Complete
Artificial Intelligence Faith Challenge - Interview with AI
In a world where artificial intelligence now embodies the vast knowledge accumulated by humanity, can it provide meaningful insights into faith? This book is not a single person's perspective but a unique interview with AI tools, exploring their responses to profound religious questions. It begins with a bold challenge found in the Quran-God's invitation for skeptics to produce a chapter like it if they doubt its divine origin. From this starting point, the discussion expands into a comparison of major faiths, theological debates, and the evolving role of AI in shaping spiritual beliefs. As AI becomes an increasingly integral part of human knowledge and decision-making, can it influence faith, challenge long-held doctrines, or simply serve as a mirror reflecting human understanding? Through this dialogue, the book navigates the intersection of technology and spirituality, inviting readers to contemplate AI's profound effects on religion and belief in future generations? Some of the interesting question answered here are: - what are the miracles associated with Quran? - are there similar miracles in Torah and Bible? - would do rather choose Islam due to these miracles if you were a human? - what percentage would you think that Islam was divine? - would you also consider becoming Atheist? - are your answers biased based on my questions? do you give same answers to Jews or Christians? - does that mean your final answer for "which religion would you choose" would be different based on the faith of person who asks? - how about Buddhism and similar faiths compared to Islam? would you choose any of them rather? - what would be your most likely choice?Complete
