About me - J.D.Curtsinger

I've been writing in some form or another since I was fifteen years old. I enjoy the process and love the escapism it provides from a world that in my opinion has gotten entirely too busy.

I enjoy reading the opinions and thoughts of others. Articles are

Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Is God an invention of man's mind or true being?Smallicon
11 of 121

It comes down to believing in the written word, namely the Bible. Did the writers of the Holy Text invent God? Did they conjure him up from imagination, and if so, why? This is certainly one of the great debates, and will fuel the fires on both sides for years to come. There have been religious zealots who by their fanatical... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Would Hillary Clinton be running for president today if she weren't married to former president Bill Clinton?Smallicon
4 of 17

Please, all you people who feel this Clinton woman is some kind of Saviour for the masses. Look at her record, not her hype. She is the wife of a former President. The wife, not the Vice President, not the Speaker of the House. She has no qualifications for the job. She's simply the wife of a former President. A President th... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) What is religion and what is it all about?
11 of 41

Sadly, it seems to me religion in the modern era is more about making money than actually serving a deity. It's all around us. From the television "slicksters" who "sell" the Lord each day, to the local pastor who cares only about the bottom line of the daycare program. Religion has gone commercial. I sat watching one of the... More..

Health & Fitness > Fitness Basics What's the best medicine? It's exercise!
3 of 9

Throughout the years I've witnessed, as many others have, a myriad of diet plans and workouts. Testimony to the many among us who seek a better way of getting, or remaining, in physical condition. I have fallen victim once or twice myself to the promise of an easier fix to my weight gain. I've kept in shape for most of my li... More..

Entertainment > Celebrity Gossip & News Should the papers be allowed to invade the privacy of celebrities
8 of 21

So, the celebrity sect among us, those we have admired for their talent and...ahem...work, are now asking us, the very peasants and bottom-feeders that put their names in lights, allowing them to live a life of luxury, and need I say, fantasy or imagined royalty,to give them some space. Or to put it bluntly, they want us to ... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Ghosts & Paranormal Phenomena Believing in ghosts
53 of 114

Imagination is strong. At times while alone in my house, I turn suddenly to see who is beside me...I swear I saw movement, but no one is there. The mind can relay messages that aren't always fact. It could have been a brief instance of passing light, or just a memory flashing through my thoughts. Then again, if you recently ... More..

Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Nightmares
50 of 91

Lying flat on my back in bed I realized I had been awakened. Not by a noise, but more so a feeling looming in the dark midnight surroundings. I was trapped, for the only exit from the small single bedroom, a flight of tightly angled stairs had now became the entrance point of something supernatural. Nasty in its temperment, ... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Brett Favre returning for another season
15 of 27

I want to write an article on Brett Favre. No I don't, I've changed my mind. Wait a minute, I'm sorry, I do want to write this article after all! I understand someone changing their mind concerning a big decision such as retirment, but who has as much wiggle room as the pro athlete? If I retire from my job I can't go back, c... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Politics (Other) Should our politicians be held to a higher moral standard?
84 of 129

Absolutely! We hold police officers to that higher standard. We expect them to uphold the law without being above it. We expect teachers to educate our children without a condescending attitude. We even hold our parents to a higher standard as they guide us through life in our youth. Do we give our elected officials a pass? ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Should fighting climate change be a priority to the next President?Smallicon
6 of 7

For a short while I was almost a rider on the climate change band wagon. At first I had a tendency to agree with what I was hearing about the damage "we" were doing to the planet. But then I started paying closer attention to exactly what was being said, and exactly who was saying it. I agree a lot of things are happening to... More..
