Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Bible: Word of God or work of the devil?: 4 of 36
One must wonder whether the God of the Bible is really a good' god, or an evil one. The Bible tells us that God is good, but, if it were the tome of an evil deity, would it not say that also? Instead of simply taking the Bible's word for it, we must look at the God described therein, and decide for ourselves. It is said that... More..
Health & Fitness > Bipolar Disorder Bipolar disorder: Illness or excuse?: 2 of 18
The answer to this is 'a little bit of both', I'm afraid. Bipolar disorder, more commonly known as 'Manic Depression', is a strange mental state, where the victim's emotions are unable to find a 'happy medium' - they swing from the heights of furious awareness and activity to the doldrums of the deepest depression. In severe... More..
Sciences > Physics A critique of Einstein's theory of relativity: 1 of 9
Einstein's Relativity has opened up whole new worlds of knowledge for the human race. However, the general consensus, that it is the end-all, be-all of physical theory is far from accurate. Einstein himself knew that the theories were incomplete, and even riddled with paradox, if one but knew where to look. To illustrate, le... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Christian's understanding of salvation: 5 of 44
Our conventional wisdom holds that only through embracing the name of Jesus Christ can a person be "saved". This leads to a moral dilemma, as it seems that a person's works and actions, be they good or bad, are totally irrelevant in this faith. Because of this conundrum, many people question: "If it is possible for a man to ... More..

I knew he was going to come for me. Somewhere inside, I accepted it. Still, I had been hoping that, against all odds, he would never come. I knew better, but I hoped anyway. Maybe something would happen to him before he got around to me. Maybe one of the others would get lucky. Maybe he would die in a plane crash. Maybe food... More..
Sciences > Mathematics An introduction to prime numbers: 2 of 16
Prime numbers aren't that difficult to understand: they are just numbers that can't be produced by multiplying any other whole numbers together. Take 13; 2*6 = 12, 2*7 = 14. You can't make 13 through multiplication of other numbers without using 13 to begin with (1*13). That's all a Prime is. Finding Primes isn't as difficul... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Speculations & Criticisms The case against Christianity: 1 of 8
Christianity, like all organized religions, is based on Faith. Faith itself, and the God it pertains to, is often referred to as a source of light. The metaphor is obvious: Enlightenment. By grasping the "truth", and attaining understanding, one becomes able to "see". Where once there was a dark, cloudy murk of only the phys... More..
Politics, News & Issues > News Industry Satire: The Alternative News 2007: 1 of 8
Jesus Returns! On Christmas Day, 2007, US forces were engaged in combat with insurgents in the streets of Baghdad when a sudden flash of light streaked down from the sky and crashed to earth between the embattled troops and their enemies. Standing in the center of the glowing ray of divine light was a lone man in a white flo... More..
Health & Fitness > Health Care Health care is increasingly expensive in the United States, is it time to adopt European style "universal health care"?: 3 of 21
In today's day and age, it seems no issue of importance can be discussed rationally anymore. Extremist political rhetoric has polarized our nation, to the point where anyone who doesn't think in terms of 'red' or 'blue' is considered an imbecile, a traitor, or a madman. But there are some issues that just can't wait for the ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Our economic prosperity is directly related to the recent decreases in taxes enacted by Congress: 1 of 7
In order for our 'prosperity' to be directly related to anything, we must first have prosperity. Despite what you might hear on talk radio, there is a noticeable lack of it in America today. Thus, the premise of prosperity is unsound. 'Official' unemployment figures may be low, but, remember, those numbers only count people ... More..
