On Suffering and Compassion
On Suffering and Compassion
By Joby Provido
One of the most reasonable arguments against God is the existence of suffering. The argument goes like this. Christians say God is all-loving, all-powerful, and all-knowing. If he truly is all-loving, then he’d prevent us from suffering.

With the Corruption in the Catholic Church Leadership Maybe We Should Start Praying the Full Version of the Saint Michael the Archangel Prayer
By Ralph Zuranski
On September 24th, 2018, only Tony and Wynn showed up to pray at Planned Parenthood.
