Inherently

Isn’t man basically good?  Isn’t sin just a response to the pain that is inflicted upon us and therefore not our fault?  What would happen if a person never knew pain, disappointment, or rejection?  Wouldn’t their life be perfect?  This Hitchcock-esque mystery unfolds slowly to reveal the failure of a misguided experiment in human behavior.

Pinnochio 5000

The world is full of amazing technological wonders and delights – enough to distract any of us from our creator’s desires for us, let alone an inexperienced and untested young robot boy.  Meet Pinnochio 5000, complete with a CRCT board (“cricket”) and his father’s programming to guide him as he discovers the many temptations of the world around him.  Will his father’s instructions be enough to steer him away from trouble and bring him home again safely?
