I spend a lot of time thinking about time. It has always fascinated me. This thing that is here one moment, and then, wait, but there is no waiting and, puff! It is gone, replaced by yet another moment of time. That's how time appears to me, as chunks of moment's moments that together make up my existence. To explain time is ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Should the US pull out its troops regardless of whether Iraq is ready to defend its people?: 24 of 164
Contrary to what those on the left would like you to believe, the terrorists we are fighting in Iraq are the very same terrorists we would be fighting here or elsewhere.

Religion & Spirituality > Churches & Organizations Understanding the open church movement in relation to traditional churches: 5 of 18
