    So is the general consensus that demon possession in the Bible was mental illness?

    Just checking in on this issue. As you know, demon possession is mentioned quite a bit in the new testament. When it's symptoms are described, it sounds a lot like autism or other forms of mental illness. Demon possession is not isolated to the New Testament, or even to Christianity, but the...

    Is belief a choice?

    Just wanted to start up a conversation on whether or not we as humans can choose to believe or disbelieve whatever we want. It seems like on the surface, the answer would be yes, but that might not be the case. A common example people use when describing how belief is involuntary is the...

    The Pope had no answer...do you?

    So the Pope went to the Philippines for the first time in 2 decades. While many of us may not care about that little fact, what I did find interesting is a question asked by a young girl that he had no answer to. The article, found on cnn.com, is posted below: "Ex-street kid weeps as she asks...

    The Problem of Evil - An In Depth Discussion

    Hello everyone. The single greatest concept I struggle with when it comes to Christianity is the problem of evil. How can an omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent God allow so much suffering in the world? I've seen a few topics here with brief discussion on this subject with mostly short...

    Hello everyone, After being a born again Christian since the age of 7 I recently deconverted from Christianity about a year and a half ago or so. It's been a struggle and there were a lot of factors that went into it. Part of me wishes I still believed but there are issues that I just have a...
