Post modernism, apologetics, suffering, doubt, the universe, a burrito advertisement, and a debate about the existence of God. Enjoy.

Joshua Milton Blahyi (aka "General Buttnaked"), often referred to as the "Modern Day Saul" has been held responsible for around 20,000 deaths during the Liberian Civil War. But his story doesn't end there. After a dramatic, Damascus Road-like conversion in the midst of the war, Blahyi became a drastically different man with a different outlook on his role in this country.
