Politics, News & Issues > Climate Change When royalty takes a stand on global warming

2 of 4

When royalty takes a stand on global warming. That begs the question who and what is royalty? Are we limited to Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses? Are we allowed to include the so called social elite? I am not sure whether Al Gore would be considered royalty, but he was vice president of the United States, and ran for... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Reasons not to believe in God

113 of 188

I personally am not prepared to say whether or not I believe in a God. A friend of mine once made a statement on this matter that has given me cause to reflect on the subject over the years. His statement was this. "Man created God in his own image, because he needed a way to justify his own hatred and prejudice towards oth... More..

Pets & Animals > Animal Rights & Issues Is it morally wrong to use mice or dogs in medical research?

35 of 48

Is it morally wrong to use mice or dogs in medical research?I think not. Those that believe it is morally wrong point out that animals are God's creations too. While this is true, the bible says that God created man in his own image. It does not say that God created the animals in his own image. The bible also says that the... More..

Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Caring for a unicorn

Ah yes, Caring for a unicorn... Not much different than caring for cattle, deer, or elk really.Anyone that has ever hunted or raised beef for a living is quitefamiliar with the process. The internal organs are very much the same. Once the slaughtering, or in hunting terms "gutting" of theanimal is done, he is hung by his hin... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Death of a loved one

Her name is Linda. In my eyes a more beautiful woman has never graced the Earth with the touch of her soul. Linda's passing really didn't come as a big shock to us, she knew she had a genetic liver disease. For several years it had pretty much lain dormant, but when the sleeping beast awoke, it woke with a rampage. She knew ... More..

I have never actually done this, but I have thought it would be quite comical.On Easter in the small town where I live, the city boils and decorates Easter Eggs and distributes them in the town park for kids to go Easter Egg hunting. The thought has occurred to me over the past few Easters, how funny it would be to acquire a ... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) If Jesus were on the earth today, would he be a Republican or a Democrat

George W. Bush named Jesus as his favorite political philosopher at the December 13, 1999 Republican debate in Des Moines. I am having trouble figuring out where Bush and Jesus have anything in common. The Pharisees were the conservative politico-religious party at the time of Jesus. In my honest opinion, the Republican Part... More..

We all have decisions to make in life. We all have goals and dreams. Last month I lost a loved one to cancer. Throughout the ordeal, she never showed as much concern for herself as she showed for her loved ones and family, both how they would take her passing and how it would effect their lives. I am sure John Edwards and hi... More..
