    A major problem in our world today is religion. In fact, lots of people are turned off to God because of religion. Many people will not consider the claims of Christ because of religion. Religion is a problem.

In penning his theological point of views there was evidence in the words and phrases that his writing abilities were a little amateurish; ...read more
