    About this series

    Professor Matt Hunter is an atheist ex-minister and expert on religion, brought in by the police to advise on cases where there is a supernatural overtone. When they receive a report of strange whispers behind a blood-soaked door, they are baffled to discover a man, who will only speak in whispers under his breath, with the name Baal-barith tattooed on his chest. They have no choice but to call in Matt Hunter. Matt knows that Baal-barith is an ancient Canaanite demon and was known as the spirit of "blasphemy and murder". But as more "demons" appear around the city, the police and Matt must work quickly to find out what is behind this extraordinary situation.

      No, They Aren't Terrorists, but Stop Appeasing Antifa

      Sep 6, 2017

      The Obama Department of Homeland Security concluded that left-wing "antifa" forces were engaged in "domestic terrorist violence," according to documents obtained by Politico. Who am I to argue with the fine men and women of former President Obama's DHS? In fact, as someone who has been fighting with antifa defenders for a good while, I feel a bit like the defense lawyer in "Miracle on 34th Street" when the U.S. Post Office confirms that his client is actually Santa Claus: Hey, don't take my word for it; "terrorist violence" is the term chosen by professionals working for a Democratic White Hou

One definition of "evil" sounds so inadequate in today's culture: "morally wrong or bad; immoral; wicked: evil deeds, an evil life."

That seems to be the preferred attitude about evil today. Many of us can't fully define it, but we certainly kn
