    why do people pray to Mary, should'nt we only pray to God (Christ)

    There have been many high ranking saints that advocated prayers to those that have fallen asleep. Besides the catholic tradition is that Mary and James, brother of Jesus, were taken up bodily after their passing. So they might be alive, flesh and blood, to this day. On a side note God...

    God's foreknowledge, free will, and predestination.

    There is something about our decision making that is not forced by God in a clockwork fashion. This is really hard for us to grasp because we have no idea how a non-clockwork machine could be made. We at best would set a machine to output randomly (which by the way isn't truly random) and then...

    Effect The butterfly

    There are many different ways of viewing human existence as we know it but this view dramatically changes when we consider life after death.

    Origin of theism
