Society & Lifestyle > Racism Is racism taught or learned?: 4 of 56
In order for any one of us to learn we must first be confronted by a mode of information by which we may be taught. The first thing one quite naturally would think of is someone, perhaps, in a classroom setting, acting as a teacher or some variation of this as the case may well be. However, racism doesn't have to be, and ofte... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Deliberating on why God allows for evil: 8 of 93
OK, right from the start of this article, let's get one thing understood. God does not allow evil. God has placed man in charge of this planet and it is man who is allowing the evil which we see in our streets and homes and places of business, etc. each and every day. When God created Adam he gave him charge over this entire ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Will people eventually write their own version of the Bible, in the manner of, say, Wikipedia?: 2 of 22
Will People Eventually Write Their Own Version of the Bible, in the Manner of, Say, Wikipedia?In a sense this sort of thing is already being done. That is, people writing their own version of the Bible. There are several cults, touting their beliefs as religion, which have done exactly that. Without naming names of giving dir... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Bible: Word of God or work of the devil?: 1 of 11
I find myself, reluctantly, having to agree with at least one other Helium writer who has deemed the question at hand to be outrageous. Even considering the thought that the Bible is a work of the devil is totally and absolutely unacceptable with me! However, for the sake of this article I will attempt to do so. To a perverte...

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues What is sin?: 8 of 52
It is, or should be, a forgone conclusion that we are all literally born into sin. That is, we have no choice in the world into which we are born; it is sinful. However, we do have a choice in how we deal with that sin. We can give in to it and have a death sentence abiding within us or we can submit ourselves unto God, resis... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The masks we wear: 32 of 172
Veil of ObscurityI wear a maskonly oneOh the poignant, sodden, tears of a clownCrimson sequins against prison pallorShimmer and paint to shield my painThe cover over the existent, the genuine meThat in the bright of day I smileIn my night of foreboding abandonment I cryAnd though this facade be removableI take it not as that ...

Parenting & Pregnancy > Child Behavior & Discipline (Other) How to deal with children expressing anger: 2 of 10
How to Deal with Children Expressing AngerAll too often we, as parents, will say, "Well my son/daughter yells at me and I feel like I have been disrespected by them." How much do we, as parents, know about respect? Are all of us aware that respect is not something which is demanded of a child? That is, we do not demand that o... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues What end times might mean to you: 8 of 39
What the End Times Might Mean To YouWhen I consider all that I have been through in my entire life of 52 years thus far, and all that I will likely have to deal with in the future, I am thrilled to realize that I have more years in back of me than I do in front of me. I don't fear eventual death as I did when I was younger an... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Bible study: Wealth in the Bible: 3 of 14
I start this article with one statement which has stayed with me for the forty-two years since I first heard it - "Christian, there is nothing wrong with you having great wealth. However, there is something wrong with great wealth having you."The debate over where it is OK for Christians to be wealthy or not is one which has ... More..
