What is Helium

About me - Truth Blazer

I am a happily married man who is younger than he feels and older than he remembers. I have more hair on my butt than on my head and I often smile at the irony of life. I grew up in a stable home with both parents still together after 30+ years (a miracle

Health & Fitness > Substance Abuse Recovery from substance abuse: 3 of 27
What Are We Up Against?It is a shame that so many of us focus on a symptom and not the underlying disease. As was stated in another article, the symptom is simply the "acting out" of this disease we all seem to have. It is a disease that has been called many things, i.e. addiction, depression, or ism. While many of us may be ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Why people believe in God: 18 of 134
I remember being in high school my junior year when one of my friends was radically different after I hadn't seen him all summer. He had Jesus! And boy did he want to tell everyone about it! I was drinking and partying in those days and he annoyed the crap out of me. It seemed like I had a bulls eye on my back that said "This... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) Jesus in the Koran: 2 of 14
Who is Jesus?You have a choice to make. While there are many, many different views, I will focus on the Christian and Islamic. Jesus is either who He said He is or He isn't. So lets take a look at what Jesus said and some statements from the Bible about Him:"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Wo... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism What was the cause of atheism: 4 of 25
All types of people wake up in a world that they have not created nor defined. We find ourselves in a world, in a time, in a certain place that influences and shapes us. We all want answers. We want to understand the purpose of all this. While we all may be sincere in seeking this answer, we do not all arrive at the same con... More..

This is my story...ChildhoodI did not grow up a Christian. My parents both had rough lives and were of the agnostic mindset. I did not go to church growing up (except rare visits with friend's families when I stayed the night). We celebrated holidays but in the secular fashion; Christmas was about Santa Claus, Easter about th... More..

Night TerrorI heard the gentle rapping of a tree brush against my bedroom window, awaking me from my sleep. I opened my eyes slowly to catch a glimpse of the time, but my eyes were too dim to make out the glowing red digital clock. I put my head back on the pillow and closed my eyes when suddenly I heard sounds of laughter fr... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Churches & Organizations Should Christian churches allow gays to be ordained as priests?: 27 of 127
This is absolutely, positively, the most ludicrous question ever proposed. First off, how can someone who openly sins against God and his or her self be able to lead people to this God for salvation? Sin is disobedience from God. It is the evil force that keeps us separated from God. We all have it and we all must rely on the... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Who decides American foreign policy?: 4 of 17
Ideally it is the people who decide foreign policy, but in today's world we find this not to be so. Our country is designed so that the people elect a person to represent them in the political arena. We find that politicians come to us making promises of their course of action only to later see that once they have been electe... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Can you make God change his mind?: 6 of 22
If the Bible is used for your discernment as to who God is, than He absolutely has changed His mind before by man's persuasion. Remember the story of Exodus? Moses was on the mountain receiving the law from God and the Israelites were making the golden calf and worshiping it. God became very angry and was going to destroy the... More..
Arts & Humanities > Meaning of Life Big Bang or Big Man: How in the heck did we get here?: 25 of 91
Are we really limiting ourselves in this question of our creation to an either/or? Why can't it be both?When we look at the Bible, in the book of Genesis, we find a story told to us that give us a starting point to our existence. This story was told thousands and thousands of years ago to people, no less intelligent, but quit... More..
