Is Faith Illogical?

Is Hell Really What We Think It Is?

How Should Geeks Express Criticism Of Entertainment?

A note from Paeter:

Although I would not generally refer people to the work of Ravi Zacharias now (the content about collecting was produced in September 2017) given details of his life that have surfaced recently, the quotation by Frank Boreham still stands on its own as a remark I believe is wise and worth considering.
