Debunking logical claims about the existence of deities — There is a book called Proof of God? Inquiries Into The Philosophy of Religion A Concise Introduction, and I’m going to tear it apart. This book was first written in 2011, and then updated in 2018, by my late father, Glenn Rogers. …

Are they the same movie, or did the latter rip off from the former? — The movies are not the same, and one is not a rip-off of the other — A Dark Song and From Black.
