Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Science versus religion: 5 of 35

Ever since there has only been one God, there has been fighting in his name. The holy wars only exist to claim precedence to the holy land of Jerusalem.

Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Lack of religion in schools and how it has affected children: 4 of 18

The separation of church and state has caused a chain reaction that has left our youth with no way to comprehend the mysteries of the cosmos. Government funding for schools means that the government has control over what is allowed and what must be edited out in order to be the most pleasant to the majority of people. In Ame...
Entertainment > TV News & Commentary It is time for changes in the presentation of TV news?: 2 of 4

The news has wrapped a blanket of negativity around the world. Correcting the problem starts with understanding how it has come to this point and what prevents the media from aligning with real life. The instant a television is turned on the media has control of our attention. The fascination with death serves as a hidden me...
Health & Fitness > Emotional Health & Wellbeing Listening and it's relationship with holistic health: 1 of 2

Listening is the key that can open up even the most massive of doors. It can transcend uniqueness and individuality.

Education > Educational Philosophy Accomplishment through intentional procrastination and self-induced pressure: 1 of 2

Throughout my educational history one fact has remained constant. I produce my best work under pressure.

My whole life I have been part of a power struggle that has affected every action and decision that has brought me to the point at which I am at now. The issue of genetic predisposition to obesity consumed my perspective. Being overweight was the lens through which I saw the world. I went through the majority of my life as a...
Politics, News & Issues > News (Other) How media controls the presentation of "truth" by what they do and don't show: 4 of 7

The news media in today's society has been cheapened for political gain. Instead of running in depth stories with actual detail and value, reporters strive for short clips and brief segments. Once an image is found that can be sold, it is left on repeat unattended with no concern for changing the message. War means economic ...
Religion & Spirituality > Self-Awareness & Realization Empowerment through self-discovery: 18 of 31

Learning can be a powerful tool or a crippling adversary depending on the attitude approaching it. If one wants to learn there is almost no force that can prevent it from happening and if one wishes to remain ignorant the best teacher in the world will struggle to communicate. The education process is one of self empowerment...
Hobbies & Games > Hobbies & Games (Other) Taking a chance and winning the lottery: 5 of 8

As with many things luck is in the eye of the beholder. I am a luck atheist, but I still observe its affects on others with interest. This conversation started around the subject of lottery tickets and the odds of continuously winning. Unexplainably some people's belief in their luck allows them to beat the odds on a regular...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Giving up apathy to become a good citizen: 4 of 6

Looking deep within myself I find that I am neither a good or effective citizen. My apathy towards politics has blinded me of all of its inner workings and understandings.
