  • WHEN THE MOON GREW WINGS: A Lesson in Deception and What We Can Safely Believe

    WHEN THE MOON GREW WINGS: A Lesson in Deception and What We Can Safely Believe
    Sep 7 2025
    In 1835, a New York newspaper convinced thousands of readers that the moon teemed with bat-winged humanoids, walking beavers, and unicorns, creating the most successful media hoax in American history.

    THE CURSE WORD CHURCHES SHOULD USE MORE OFTEN
    Aug 17 2025
    Churches will preach about God's love all day long, but they won't tell you that Jesus warned about hell more than He promised heaven — or why the phrase 'go to hell' rolls off your tongue so easily but never comes from the pulpit.

    YOU CAN’T DIAGNOSE WHAT YOU DENY: Why Skeptics AND Believers Get It Wrong
    Jul 27 2025
    What If Your Biggest Problem Is Something You Don't Believe In?

    From the paranormal investigator who can't find demons because he doesn't believe in them, to the atheist missing God for the same reason, to the Christian blaming everything on spiritual warfare – we're all blind to the realities we've already decided don't exist.
