Here’s a new one… I keep hearing about a cosmological argument for the existence of God, but I’m not sure I understand it. And when I Google it, it seems like it has been discredited by atheists anyway. Is that right? Not quite. While the cosmological argument is not my favorite argument, it is still [...]
A couple of days ago, I got a question that I would imagine some of you would have thought rather strange. It fits into this series, though, so here goes: I talked to a person today who said they were a witch, but they also said they were an atheist. Is it possible to [...]

Sorry that I can’t update here as often as I’d like to… but I’m working on it! Please continue to send in questions at tentpegsquestion@yahoo.com and I’ll get to them as soon as my new ministry lets me. Here’s a new one. My sister was wondering how the Jews did not see the parallel between the prophesy in Isaiah [...]
