Christianity Is Based in Truth, Not Superstition

Is Christianity a Form of Superstition?
By Al Serrato Superstition is as old as man. An incomplete picture of why things work the way they do fuels the imagination to conjure up hidden forces at work behind the scenes. Pull back the curtain and perhaps one will find an “all-powerful” being at work pulling...

Who Is Jesus, According to Other Religions?

God Behaving Badly? – Introduction

Can God Balance Mercy and Justice?
