Many people may have heard of Margaret Sanger as the founder of The Planned Parenthood clinics, but don't know her motives. Margaret Sanger dated one of Hitler's officers, and adhered to Hitler's beliefs of purifying the Caucasian race. A program I watched on TBN, Rod Parsley's Breakthrough Ministries, stated she detested bla... More..
Sciences > Biology (Other) Are human beings still part of nature?: 1 of 16
The question has only one definite answer that's clearly seen in cemeteries across the country. Where does a human body go when dead, but back to the dust from which it came? Even if one does not believe in the divine creation of man being made from dust, one thing is for certain, in death dust or ashes is where we all return... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in Africa Genocide in Africa: 3 of 26
As the world sleeps, the land of Africa continues to weep, yet no one cares to wipe away her tears. Her old men have been dehumanized from dire poverty, alcohol, white oppression, and the inability to protect their wives, sons and daughters. Her old women, though wrinkled, frail and toothless, are still raped then murdered. H... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Archives US elections 2008: Clinton and Obama are hurting the Democratic Party: 2 of 17
This is a fantastic time for American history; having a woman as a Presidential nominee, and a black man! The Democratic Party will go down in history as being the first party with such a combination.

I would imagine most Americans believe the Bible flat out rebukes slavery, but it is not that black and white an issue.It was a common practice during the days of Moses, for slaves to be obtained during battles for the promised land of Caanan. However, there were strict guidelines about the treatment of slaves, particularly a... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Overcoming your fear of flying: 3 of 20
When I was a teen, a great aunt put me on my first flight home for the summer. It only lasted about fifty five minutes. The experience has kept me flying since, though not without some apprehensions and prayers. Then came the day to fly over the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii! Eight hours from Chicago into Oahu, non stop. Could I do... More..
Arts & Humanities > Colonial & Early American History The American Abolitionist Movement: A dangerous cause: 1 of 6
Though a very dangerous and even tragic cause, the American Abolitionist Movement saved African Americans from slavery. Despite the racism suffered at the hands of whites, and some subtle racism that still exists today, I feel blacks don't give enough credence to the whites that sacrificed their lives for them. Being an Afric... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Churches & Organizations Why Christianity is the leading religion in America: 4 of 23
No doubt America was founded on the principles of obtaining religious freedom from oppression in Europe. Particularly those that were protesting certain aspects of Catholicism, and other persecutions fled across the blue waters of the Atlantic to a land known as America. In that land one was allowed to worship as they wi... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Are people inherently good?: 15 of 83
In a world viewed from rose colored glasses, one might fool themselves into thinking mankind is inherently good. For one who strives to see only the good in humanity, they must have several pair of these rose colored glasses. Take a baby about six or seven months old. He sees a toy he wants from his sibling, and he goes after... More..
