It was dead silent. Not a stir, nor a whisper. “Do you hear that?” said Vampiro. “That’s the sound of freedom.” I won’t give away what that sound was. If you haven’t seen it, I strongly encourage you to do so, and to support it

I am no defender of the Protestant tradition. I aim for the truth above all else, and if the truth is Protestant, then so be it. The five solae of the Reformation, for instance, at first glance seem to flagrantly reject, out of an adverse

I am sick to my stomach. The sudden unholy rise of Satanism, witchcraft, séances, psychic fairs, occult symbolism, and demonic rituals out of the depths of secular pop-culture is nothing short of disturbing. I’m sure you’ve seen it: Viral videos of SatanCon in Boston, the
