Health & Fitness > Diet & Weight Loss How to prevent overeating: 6 of 7
Two very simple methods are going to get you to your goal weight and they don't end in so-and-so diet. First of all, drink 2 glasses of water before every meal you eat. This may sound a ridiculous remedy but try it. The water will make you feel fuller before you overeat. Water is a well known weight-loss agent in fact; just ... More..
Sports & Recreation > Running How to develop a running habit: 20 of 23
Habits take time to build but, once established, become second nature to us. Running is not different in this regard. To begin running, first you may need to find out what it's about. Are you in shape to begin running? Is your diet right? Do you have safe routes planned or will you run within a fitness center? Most of us hav... More..
Arts & Humanities > African History The long-term consequences of the colonization of Africa: 22 of 25
Colonization will cost Africa dearly in the next few decades but hopefully Africans will overcome and decide their own destinies. The long and demoralizing subjugation of Africans under a repressive Apartheid, and similar systems, has left a hopeless effect on the mindsets of Africans. This is easy to see at one important ti...

Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God The true form of God: 17 of 19
I'm afraid when religion was describing god they all went horribly wrong somewhere; some nearer to the beginning than others. The silly belief that holds humanity as the pinnacle of all life is the rather childish, near-orgasmic brainchild of a narcissist. The view that professes to know the mind of god, assuming he has one,... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Atheists and the question of morality: 18 of 20
It seems this is the area of hazy confusion for theists about atheists. They (theists) cannot grope the fact that morals are not dependent on tabloids from god. All this is unthinkable in the narrowly derived world of the superstitious who claim to know the insight of god in matters of sexual orientation and treatment of dis... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Heaven, Hell & Afterlife What heaven means to me: 36 of 38
The gate of Heaven is a euphemism for the extent of our imagination. The wider we stretch our reality, the larger is our heaven. The more people we can touch with goodness and love, the more inhabitants. Heaven is a state of mind, not just peace of mind but rather a dynamic force that drives and consoles at will. Heaven exis... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Hinduism Understanding the concept of god in Hinduism: 18 of 19
Hindu gods shake of the serious, infallible stereotypes of monotheistic religions. They are seen as fun loving, sometimes moral, sometimes immoral characters that both live among humans and apart from humans. Hindu gods don't have the same egoistic, narcissistic approach that the gods of Christianity and Islam propagate. The... More..
Sciences > Astronomy What is an eclipse?: 19 of 20
Eclipses are rarely seen but spectacular events that are much like a cricket match: they're great to see on television but tend not to be the most exciting spectator events in the world. One thing you'll notice during a solar eclipse, besides the apparent lack of light, is that farm animals wonder back to their nests and pen... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Islam Prophet Muhammad: The ideal role model: 17 of 17
A perfect role model? Muhammad is certainly made divine in the eyes of Muslims and imitated in every aspect of his life BUT is he a suitable role model for the 21st century. I think not. First of all, let's look at Muhammad's family. He was orphaned at a young age and sent to his grandfather who died soon afterwards, he was ... More..
Sports & Recreation > Running The health risks of running: 17 of 17
For all the great benefits running offers there are some risks and sensible precautions to take before becoming immersed in it. Road running is known to be particularly hard on the knee cartilage and the more delicate intricacies of the human leg. Running on a hard surface, like a road, creates an enormous force that must be... More..
