Why Most People Would Rather Be Right Than Find the Truth

Salvation in Christianity Vs. Salvation in Buddhism
By Melissa Dougherty “Buddhism has much more to offer than Christianity does!” “How do you figure? What you’re suggesting is impossible. It’s unattainable. Isn’t that the point?” I was listening to two of my friends have a lively conversation about their beliefs, and...
Truth, Perception, and Reality
By Brian G. Chilton Is truth found in personal perceptions or is it grounded in an independent transcendent reality? Multiple businesses and even churches have used the phrase “perception is reality” when referencing the importance of meeting customer needs. If a...
Why God Does Not Need Praise
By Al Serrato Christians claim that God is a perfect Being. By perfect, of course, we mean that God has every possible attribute in an infinite and complete way. In other words, God possesses everything, lacks nothing and needs…nothing. Why then, the skeptic will...
