Historians will look back on the this past year in disbelief. Indeed, it seems that 2020 is on the "wrong side of history." First the wildfires in Australia, then Kobe Bryant dies in a helicopter crash, then the coronavirus pandemic sweeps the globe, then humanity is sentenced to house arrest (aka, "quarantine"), then Tim Stratton graduates with a Ph.D., then mobs of violent rioters flood the streets, and then nearly everything became "racist." Speaking of the term “racist,”

Adam Mehdi Mahdavi is an Iranian-American college student who has had enough of being inundated with Critical Theory and cultural Marxism on his college campus. He has decided to fight for freedom and to fight back against this "Goliath." Mahdavi shares his story and his experience in this interview. Don't miss it! Check out this episode!

In December of 2019, I graduated with a B.A. in Philosophy from a secular university.  At this secular university, I was immersed in ideas such as critical theory and Marxism , since these views dominated the Philosophy Department.  Having become fascinated in philosophy through a crisis of faith that led me to Christian apologetics in high school, I found these views confusing and troubling at first.  Seemingly everyone around me (who was not a Christian) bought into these

"Black lives matter." That statement is objectively true, but the organization that goes by that name is evil. Monique Duson used to support the organization but now seeks to replace BLM with the Center for Biblical Unity.

Likely the first things a reader might think of from the above title is the suddenness of church closings, the innovative decisions of many to have virtual, on-line services or even worship outdoors, and possibly what some church leaders are saying back to governors or local officials who have banned either all services or have limited the size to fifty or more: “Do we obey God or man?” But that is not the focus of this essay. Rather, it is to ask the question: “Is there anyt

Who is "The Wintery Knight"? He's often referred to as the "Batman" of Christian Apologetics. This is the case because hardly anybody has seen his face unmasked or knows his true identity. One thing we do know is that despite the name "Wintery" he is a person of color. Be that as it may, he loves America and opposes the Marxist revolution growing in our society. Please join our conversation on the "FreeThink or Die" YouTube Livestream! References: Black Lives Matter concer

Many have been asking why FreeThinking Ministries has taken a detour from discussing things like free will, God's sovereignty, and arguments for the existence of God, to constantly discussing racism, critical theory, and Marxism.

The COVID-19 "quarantine" wasn't all bad. Sure, no one likes being sentenced to "house arrest," but I enjoyed spending some extra time with my wife and 17-year-old son (I did not take those moments for granted). The dreaded coronavirus, however, shut down Hollywood, movie theaters, restaurants, and sporting events. Being sequestered at home, my family and I considered other entertainment options.  A friend told me about The Walking Dead -- a series featuring survivors of a z

The Great Commission -- what is it? Any Christian worth their salt can quickly tell you about the Great Commission and can share the corresponding chapter and verses at the end of the Gospel of Matthew. Indeed, this single passage is often referenced when defining an " evangelical Christian."  There are a couple reasons why so much emphasis is placed on this short passage of Scripture. Not only is the Great Commission the last recorded personal instruction given by Jesus to

The Batman franchise directed by Christopher Nolan is not about a war of brute force against brute force. It’s about a war of ideas. That’s what makes it so intriguing, and it’s also what makes it so poignantly relevant. The physical battles in these films, and especially in the last installment, “The Dark Knight Rises” are intense to say the least. But they are galvanized by the battle for the ideas in the minds of the combatants, not just their bravado. Nolan and his writer

Question: Dear Dr. Stratton, I have a bone to pick with you. But first let me express my gratitude. I have benefited greatly from your work in theology and apologetics. You have a unique ability to take deep philosophical and academic concepts and make them accessible to the average Joe. Thank you!  Here's my problem: You seem to have left your field of expertise to publish multiple articles and videos ranging from COVID-19 to Black Lives Matter and Critical Theory. You seem

I have always found it amazing how many notable Christian mouthpieces have vociferously denied giving any credence to Marxist ideology while at the same time giving wholesale credence to Marxist ideology. What is obvious to the most thoughtful observer schooled in Marxist philosophy is obscured in the minds of those who are saturated with it. The best way to make a disciple of Marxism is to convince the student they are not a disciple of Marxism. This does not mean that every

Dear fellow white person, I am writing this letter because we seem to have suddenly and abruptly awakened to a world in which we find ourselves being shamed because of the color of our skin. Oddly enough, no matter how much you may have fought against racism in the past, in 2020 you are now labeled a "racist" simply for being born with supposed "white privilege." No matter what you say to the contrary, those wielding the sword of  (the new definition of ) "racism" will cance

If I were to ask you who the most influential philosopher of the 21st Century is, what would your answer be? The correct answer might surprise you.  It is Karl Marx. Karl Marx believed that class struggle would occur naturally on its own without the help of any social engineer. He believed the Communist Revolution was the inevitable outcome of socio-economic forces and it was only a matter of time.  He was wrong. The marxists of today believe in class struggle just like Marx
