An alternative to secular Christmas music: That Detroit Soul!

Posted on December 23, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

It’s that time of year again when ex-Christian non-believers must accept the shackles of their former religious upbringings. While December 25 — to us — is just another day on the calendar, no more worthy of special treatment than December … Continue reading →

Should Christians bring back the beard?

Posted on December 22, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

Religions in Battlestar Galactica: Which one is right?

Gearing up for war on Xmas: New weapon ensures victory
