Hello guys and gals. Yesterday, a group of folks including @essentialsaltes , @JosephZ and others have enlightened me on the ethics of bypassing paywalls, a structure that news agencies use to pay their employees. I now understand that using software to bypass paywalls is unethical (both from a...

Is it immoral to bypass paywalls? This is a question that many of us internet users might have asked. I will provide a secular and theological explanation of why bypassing paywalls is immoral, though I do bypass paywalls myself, often to help others on CF get access to news from New York Times...

First of all I use the term *secular* lightly here as it's the only way in my pea size brain to encompass all worldviews that deny a transcendent source for morality or moral truths. So if it doesn't comport 1:1 please forgive me. Now to the post :). If the acceptability of your moral actions...

I have never studied the topic of capital punishment from a purely non-religious angle. After listening to Alasdair MacIntyre's recent controversial paper on human dignity I am curious to raise this topic on CF. My hunch is that MacIntyre is right, and as a corollary, when confined to...

How should a Christian react when people try to intimidate them for their views on homosexuality? How to respond without hurting feelings but stating the truth?

A little leaven leavens the whole lump. —Galatians 5:9 Secular ideals are infiltrating the church and being championed by believers. What are the greatest dangers of “leaven” we’re facing and how are you standing against them? What do you say to fellow Christians whose convictions are in...

I don't why. All I do is sit there and watch Korean dramas and Korean music videos. It's boring me out to death. There's nothing for me to do with it. I would download videos and pictures and work on it in Adobe Creative Cloud. I would rather meet them in person at Korean festivals, and fan...

Do you think following Korean and American Entertainment is like slapping Jesus in the face? My mom told me that Studying God's word and Watching kpop groups on Youtube is disrespectful to God and she said it's like slapping God and Jesus in the face here are the bible Verses John 18:22-23...

Simply put, my heart's just not into singing or listening to Christian music (or most kinds of music for that matter, especially ones with words). I do think that not having grown up in the church has made it harder for me to get into it, especially when it sounds, forgive me for saying this...

Christianity has been under cultural attack many times in history and has always asserted the truth of Christ through every medium and over any stronghold which attempts to oppose the simple truth of God Himself (2 Corinthians 10:3-6). In the past when I pursued secular religious studies and...

When I was a young Christian, I was taught that the world would one day end not long after Jesus came down from heaven to collect his followers. Being young and having an undeveloped mind, I really took this to heart and it wasn't in a good way. I feared the idea of Jesus suddenly interrupting...

The laws of physics tell us: Matter cannot be created (nor can it create itself). Question: Has anyone ever seen something come from nothing? If you have, your eyes are lying to you. Question: Do you believe something can come from nothing? If you do, you are lying to yourself. This hasn't...

When I was growing up in the 80s, I remember having a lot of the "are they or aren't they" kinds of discussions about U2's Christian faith. It was, for some reason, really important to me back then. I've been thinking back to that era recently, wondering why it was so important. What did we...
