Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Thinking: 1 of 73

BROOD The god of thought sat, silently, on a sad and lonely hill. His thoughts appeared to bother him, he seemed a little ill. With heavy heart, I approach my God and asked him, "What's the prob?" Shrugging his shoulders, he said to me "I'm thinking to much, Bob." "My name's not Bob," I began. "No matter," said he, "but what... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Worship for God as a choice against worship of the Bible: 1 of 12

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning...The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who comes from the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:1-2, 14 I start out with this to make a p... More..
Arts & Humanities > Comic Books & Graphic Novels Who would win in a fight: Wolverine or Sabertooth?: 1 of 11

If Wolverine and Sabertooth got into a fight, who would win? What kind of question is that? My contention is with the word "if". Why? These two have battled on numerous occasions. Not to say that Wolverine has not taken a few losses, but by and large, he is the winner every time. Some would even argue that it is Wolverine's ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Radical love from the Christian viewpoint: 1 of 8

What is radical love? I believe Jesus answered this question over two thousand years ago. He said, "A greater love has no man than this: He who lays his life down for his friend." (John 15:13) Being willing to put someone above yourself, even up to the point of death, is as radical a love as you or I will ever see. But how i... More..
Arts & Humanities > Comic Books & Graphic Novels Is Captain America really dead?: 1 of 5

Contemplating the permanent death of Captain America, let only any popular comic book hero, is sheer folly. Do I have a conspiracy theory of what really happened? Unfortunately not. I think he is either really dead, but not forever, or not really dead at all. Allow me to show you the logic of this line of reasoning by using ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Speculations & Criticisms Pushing your religion on others: 17 of 71

Before I begin this little article, I am going to make a confession. I am a "pusher." Not of the drug-related variety, but of the religious. And I feel as if I have pretty good reasons for doing so. These I will attempt to explain in a moment. First off, however, let me show you what form my "pushing" takes. I do not run up ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Is using the word "fundie" to describe a fundamentalist Christian a form of disrespect?: 1 of 4

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." Many of us have heard this mantra shouted across the playground as children. I, for one, have said it a few times myself. Typically, it is thrown up as a shield against the very things for which it claims no defense is needed. The truth is words can wound w... More..
Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Censoring musicians, like Eminem: 8 of 24

Do we have the right to censor musicians? I suppose it all depends upon how one means to censor them. If by censor, one means to limit the ability of a musician to express themselves freely, then I would reply that this is indeed a violation of first amendment rights. Offensive or not, a person has been given the right by ou... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Economic Values Money is the root of all evil: 27 of 80

What is the root of all evil? Is it money, as some are wont to believe? Or is it, as 1 Timothy 6:10 is often misquoted as saying, the love of money? My answer is a simple, yet, succinct, no. Money is not the root of all evil. And Scripture merely informs us that the love of money is simply the root of all kinds of evil, whic... More..
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Attitude adjustments: 4 of 11

On Oranges and Pearls I've recently made a discovery. I often approach life much like I approach oranges. Sounds a little odd, doesn't it? Let me explain. You see, I like oranges. I'd even go so far as to say it's one of my five favorite fruits. And yet, I can't shake the feeling that I've passed up eating one more often tha... More..
