By Filings on Wed, 12/10/25
Body

Finding Yourself Is Not the Solution to Life’s Problems

By Filings on Fri, 10/03/25
Body

“I do need to go to God’s Word. It will act as a mirror to show me my true reflection, one very different than what I would like to see. Scripture tells me that I’m a sinner, and that sin brings death. Sin, the original killer of happiness, is not my solution; it’s my problem.” - Randy Alcorn

What Horror Stories Can (and Cannot) Tell Us About the World

By Filings on Thu, 10/02/25

“Maybe we want meaning and resolution—and the kind of horror we can get back into the coffin with a stake in its heart—because we do indeed live in a universe that’s a haunted house.

By Filings on Tue, 07/08/25
Body

“as much as AI’s potential can cause harm, blaming it alone misses the point and likely makes these problems worse. Humans are the fallen ones, and that fallenness manifests in all kinds of destructive ways. Machines, strictly speaking, don’t have morals or intentions. They can only reflect ours.” - Breakpoint
