Revelation 16:13-14 "Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty."

Une histoire des X-Files, avec merci beaucoup á Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The Little Prince flew through outer space. He was a small blond boy in a Napoleonic uniform, but this adjective had no meaning for him, as he had never heard of Napoleon Bonaparte. The Prince lived on a small asteroid known as B 612, where there were a three tiny volcanoes, a garden full of pretty flowers, and an unfortunate clutter of unpleasant plants such as the fearsome baobabs. His only sentient companion was a talking Rose. The Prince dearly loved the Rose, yet her sharp tongue and hypochondriac obsessions were a constant trial for him, so he told her he was leaving for a short vacation. He trusted her and the other flowers to look after themselves, and he flew off into the vacuum of space, comfortably observing other planets, and occasionally visiting their inhabitants. In a series of short visits to small planets, he encountered a king with no subjects, who only issued orders such as commanding the sun

Answering Challenging Mormon Questions: a review
At a challenge from a Mormon leader I met on Quora, I wrote an analysis of a Latter Day Saints apologist treatise. Referenced work: Hickenbotham, Michael. Answering Challenging Mormon Questions. Bountiful, Utah: Horizon Publishers, 1995. On Quora.com in late 2020 or early 2021, a man named Michael Hickenbotham (b. 1947), a veteran Mormon apologist, challenged me to read his treatise regarding his church. Very little of it is of interest to atheists, as it is mainly focused on comparing Mormon doctrine regarding Jesus, angels, etc., to that of more common Christian churches. To an atheist, that is like arguing about the merits of Mara Jade versus Chelli Aphra – one fantasy work competing with another. Below are the reviews I made about the parts that atheists would care about. “Introduction.” Hickenbotham gets off to a not-so-promising start. He advises LDS missionaries to avoid debating with Gentiles. He encourages the one-sided form of proselytising, where the missionary does all

Based on Star Wars episodes The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi, written by George Lucas and his crew. To the tune of Ra-Ra-Rasputin sung by 1970s Caribbean group Boney M. There lived a certain man, in Naboo long ago He was smart and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow Most people looked at him with reverence and awe But in his dark time he was training little Maul He could speak to all Republic creatures Full of ecstasy and fire But he also was the kind of teacher The Dark Side would desire Pa, Pa, Palpatine Mentor of the Naboo Queen Jedi thought all Sith really were gone Pa, Pa, Palpatine The Dark Side’s greatest hate machine Hiding in plain sight, he carried on He ruled the Republic from his Coruscanti home And his masterstroke was an army made of clones When Separatists broke off, they went too very far Chancellor Palpatine vowed to triumph in the war Anakin fell for this wheeler-dealer When
