Too many voices from too many Christian denominations to decipher, so we've cut out the middle-man to study the Bible on our own in search for answers to our questions. It can speak for itself because it breaks through the fog of all that is called religion. At times, we'll include the latest scientific discoveries and even touch upon some of the weirder and more controversial portions of Scripture that most of today's Christians avoid.
