Why does God allow good? OK, I know it’s a ridiculous question. But why? We routinely—instinctively—ask why God allows evil. Why don’t we ask the opposite? Why do we think we should only experience good, and never evil? Why do we expect that if there is a God, He would be good?

Hysterical as always, the Big Bang Theory series finale was also quite moving. But the episode before the finale was, by far, the most powerful episode they’ve done in the twelve years the show’s been on the air.

I love watching those real-life murder mystery shows, like Dateline and Forty Eight Hours. But I always find myself getting sucked in, completely convinced at first that they did it, then, completely convinced they’re innocent! Part of this is due to editing, of course. But part of it is due to the fact that the evidence is never clear-cut. It’s always filled with ambiguity and open to interpretation. And this is with recent events, crimes that occurred within a few years of the show.
