This article was originally written as a point of discussion concerning online social media for my private English Communication class. Just as it was important for the youth to understand the critical dangers involved, I decided to reproduce it here for my readers. If you're wondering about the slightly different format here, that's because it was meant for students. 

In a separate article, which I will publish here within the next two days, I will provide the Discussion Points where I present twelve topical questions. Feel free to use them for your own purposes.

Book Review - The Historical Christ and the Theological Jesus (Allison Jr, Dale C, 2009)

By Khen Lim

For quest to bring a "modern" interpretation of Jesus has been going on for some time now but everytime someone or some media network attempts to give Christ a fresh coat of paint, something horrible happens.

Still for all the controversy of mixing Hollywood horror genre with Christian faith values, it was worth the trouble.

This gripping new documentary film tells the untold story of millions of women in South Asia who are abused and trampled simply because they are women.

Despite the centuries of oppression, hope is dawning as people begin reaching out to restore dignity towards women, one day at a time.

For Christians, it’s hard not to get excited with such a movie title. For many of us, this movie served up great opportunities to spread the Word to non-believers who are willing to be objective or open-minded but it seems that there have been reviews that slated the movie for various reasons but principally, they levelled on the movie’s weak arguments against atheism. There are too many and too complex issues brought up that I would raise here but suffice to say, all of them deserve some form of response here.
