Spotted in Alabama

Mary Magdalene 5

We drive past this every time we go up to see friends in Birmingham. Don’t you love how they try to gently persuade people to go to church down here?

Imagine No Religion

Paul O'Flaherty 14

The propaganda machine continues unabated in Birmingham, Alabama in order to pimp “The Grace Effect“, which purportes to educate us about how “The power of one life can reverse the corruption of unbelief”.

I’m going to assume that the “one life” is yet another hint at another human sacrifice to save us all from ourselves. I have not read the book.

…but when he encounters Sasha, a golden-haired orphan girl whose life has been shaped by atheistic theorists, he discovers an unlikely champion for the transforming power of grace.

Through the narrative of Sasha’s redemption, we see the false promises of socialism; the soul-destroying influence of unbelief; and how a society cultivates its own demise when it rejects the ultimate source of grace. We see, in short, the kind of world the atheists would give us: a world without Christianity—cold, pitiless, and graceless.
