Many of my Christian brethren are what one would call right-wing fundamentalists. They are actively engaged in politics and strive to implement what they regard as a more Christian system into government. Many will claim that the United States was founded on Christian principles, and should continue to purport Christian principles because it is a…

The problem of doubt has arisen in the mind of almost every Christian throughout history, and in fact, non-believers sometimes have an axe to grind, namely, to persuade people to doubt their faith.

There is an array of spirituality to choose from throughout the world, in fact even throughout Christianity.
