My work is, at this very moment you are reading this, generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I was forced to shut down the professional side of my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field.
I have been a Christian since 1993 (turning to Christ at age 18). While I will always have a lot to learn - after 34 years of following Christ, I've had a lot of firsthand experience to offer some credible viewpoints on topics that are rife with myths, speculation and outright falsehood in the circles of public opinion, media and skepticism. I've put faith in Christ to the honest test over the past 9 years, and found it to be solid, evidence-based and logical. I humbly submit these essays and blog posts in the hope that you will hear a voice of reason in today's world of doubt. For a list of my personally recommended links to in-depth resources on Christian apologetics, see this page. If you have never heard what the Gospel is all about, view my The Message page.
A list of must-watches for anyone questioning Christianity
Even if these excellent factual videos don't convince you toward Christianity, they should at least bring you up to speed on the realities that go against some common "internet myths" on the subject.
Quick reference: The failure points of popular skepticism
These are what I have found are the 'fatal flaws' of popular skepticism, in other words, facts that are devastating to the claims of the most popular and vocal atheists and skeptics today.
The myths of 'organized religion'
'Organized religion' is seen by today's popular culture as a system designed to fleece followers and guilt-trip them into submission. Is that really the truth?
Determinism: naturalism's (atheism's) elephant in the room
The realities of determinism should shatter the Atheist worldview, or at least temper its perceived moral superiorities. Despite the gravity of what naturalism actually means for the world, the implications of determinism go largely undiscussed.
The skeptic's responsibility
People are free to be skeptical of anything, including Christianity. But a sincere search for truth should include disciplines that are severely lacking in today's world of skepticism, deficiencies that fall short of true logic and reason.
Variants of self-deception
If you want to value human life in a Godless universe, you'll have to pick your deception.
Arguments from personal incredulity in belief and unbelief
"Arguments from personal incredulity" are a kind of logical fallacy that befalls people of all faiths and positions, and unfortunately are used by Christians and atheists alike.
The deliberate ignorance of New Atheism (why New Atheists won't read this)
Despite the objections to Christianity/theism having sound answers that are readily available to anyone willing to do a short Google search, vocal New Atheists plow onward with their blog posts, internet radio shows and social media rants as if that information didn't exist.
Pass the Test
"Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test?" -2 Corinthians 13:5
