It turned out to be a witness acclaimed by Christians both Roman Catholic and Protestant/evangelical. The more surprising thing would have been if it were easy, not if it were difficult.

I think Mel Gibson's problems since then are a direct Satanic attack on him for making what, in my opinion, was the greatest most influential movie made in the young 21st Century. I think Gibson fell hard because I don't think he was properly protecting himself the way he should've (Eph. 6, the whole Armour of God).

However, the greatest thing about God is that He never lets go of us or gives up on us. He always gives us 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. chances. Perhaps the Lord was using Satan to sift Gibson and for him to rid himself of whatever earthly passions he might still have. It wouldn't surprise me if Gibson came back from wherever he's come from, spiritually stronger and humbler.

Lot’s of evidence for God in the universe.

No evidence whatsoever for angels, demons, hobgoblins or the Devil before they are abstracted from the minds of human beings.

That's why I would have posted it in News/Activism. In topics , I would have checked off crime, culture, philosophy and editorial in that order.

"For example, today it is not uncommon to hear, as a famous primatologist (whose name is not important) has reported, that '[t]he Bonobo apes have sex frequently -- even with members of the same sex -- and this may be their secret to avoiding conflict.'"

--snip--

"And what do moderns give us? The Bonobo ape. Or, worse still, pop-culture icons."

Our culture is crap, and its decline is accelerating.
