Note: Today is “Giving Tuesday.” At The Catholic Thing, we don’t go in much for these new-fangled secular holy days. There’s nothing wrong with giving — if you know what you’re giving TO of course. If you’re reading this, I’m sure you already know that donating to the work of TCT has some quite definite purposes. It’s all AMDG here, all the time. So whether you believe it’s a special day today or not, we believe all days are, under God, special days. Help us to make 2024 special for the Church and the world by bringing this end-of-year fundraising to a great close. Click the button. Give, generously. – Robert Royal
Are you certain God exists? Are you certain He doesn’t? Who has the burden of proof here? Should believers have to prove that God exists? Or should atheists have to prove that He doesn’t? There are plenty of people who respond by pronouncing themselves “agnostic”: “I just don’t know.”Related posts
