Religion & Spirituality > Wicca & Witchcraft Magic as compared to prayer: 1 of 12

As one who has lived and studied both wicca and Christian religions, I'd say there are remarkable similarities and significant (though subtle) differences. To start, I'll discuss similarities. Both require a certain amount of time, can be two seconds or 24 hrs or even nine days (for example a novena). Both can be done at spe...
Religion & Spirituality > Catholicism Why you should confess your sins: 2 of 22

Confess sins; Hmmm, seems all Christians (catholic and protestant) believe that it's part of a healthy relationship with Christ. The only thing that varies is whether or not you need a priest to "eavesdrop" on the conversation between you (the sinner) and God. Sin is where we do something that, at least temporarily, harms ou...
Entertainment > Characters & Performances Who portrayed the Joker better: Jack Nicholson or Heath Ledger?: 1 of 7

The question is not only subjective, it`s also lacking a category... Although Jack Nicholson was the funnier one of the two in the slapstick sense of the word (not to mention more accurate to the original DC character), Heath Ledger was the more creepy and memorable. I'll write more about Heath in another article... I rememb...
Religion & Spirituality > New Age Therapies Comparing New Age healers to Christian healers: 2 of 9

Basically, these two are one and the same. The only big difference is the name we give to the "spiritual source" of the healing. For the Christian healer, they are basically (though they wouldn't put it in so many words of course) channeling Christ's healing powers through their own presence/action. In other words "acting fo...
Entertainment > Movie Genres Cartoons vs. anime: 2 of 9

Not only is this a difference of cultures (United States v. Japan), but there's a huge difference where it comes to variety... Cartoons; such as Disney & Dreamworks are very simple-light hearted comedies, whereas anime is typically much more in depth philosophical thought on morals, ethics, life, mortality, religion and the ...
Religion & Spirituality > Comparative Religion Finding the right religion: 5 of 20

Finding the "Right religion".... Now there's a touchy subject, as this can be viewed as an offensive or subjective question. Offensive, if you look at it in the sense of the absolutist; in other words "this is THE only right religion, all others are false, wrong or evil". Then there's the less offensive interpretation of thi...
Religion & Spirituality > Churches & Organizations Going to church: Is it mandatory: 11 of 39

I dislike the attitude that many have concerning "earning one`s way" to heaven, or the old barter system; "see I was extra good yesterday so I can afford to be lazy or slightly naughty today". These are attitudes that are unfortunately common in Christendom (notice I use the term Christendom instead of Christianity which is ...
Entertainment > Characters & Performances Who would win in a lightsaber duel: Darth Vader or Darth Maul?: 9 of 29

Are you kidding me? Of course Lord Vader would win in that duel. Maul doesn't have a tenth the skill with the Force that Darth Vader has. All that Darth Maul did was the straight lightsaber fight. By that I mean he didn't use display abilities with the Force to fight Obi Wan and Qui Gon Jin, he just used the double ended sab...
Religion & Spirituality > Spirituality (Other) If you were God, which of the deadly sins would you remove: 3 of 9

Wow, talk about a misleading question! First off, the seven deadly sins aren`t actions or things to do or not do, like the Ten Commandments. The seven deadly sins (Lust, greed, gluttony, jealousy, hate, envy, anger) are different types of the sinful nature that all humans are born into. This is not to...
Entertainment > Characters & Personalities Why I love Simon Cowell: 10 of 29

What's not to love about the guy? I mean, he's a breath of fresh air when it comes to his honesty. Seriously, how often do you see a guy as blatantly honest as Simon on any TV show where you have a competition. As much as I like the host of Survivor, Jeff Probst (wonderful show, by the way, and the host does a wonderful job)...
