Arts & Humanities > Schools of Thought Why religions exist: 9 of 50
Whether or not you believe in God, you must believe this: religion ain't going anywhere. We as a species are hardwired to trust in a power greater than us. We all know that where man has lived on this planet so has religion. Well, where did it come from? Why did it arise? Religion exists because man will always ponder the et... More..
Relationships & Family > Marriage & Divorce (Other) Should people who are not in love get married: 4 of 21
Trying to love a spouse with whom you are not in love has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done. If you are about to get married to someone with whom you're not in love, don't! But if you are already married to someone like that, the following words are for you. You may think your thoughts about a... More..
Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues Is homosexuality natural?: 13 of 60
If from the outset I objected to the idea of two men having sexual intercourse, would you read the rest of this article? That only members of the opposite sex may reproduce others after their own kind is fairly well established. It is children born. It is body parts fitting together. It is because, no matter how far the boun... More..
Arts & Humanities > Writing (Other) Quotes on writers & writing: 4 of 18
Quotes on writing are as varied as they are insightful. A good quote on writing packs more in a few words than most of us say in a thousand. If I had to choose one indispensable quotation, I guess it would be William Faulkner's entire Nobel Prize acceptance speech in 1950. I rather suspect I am not alone in that sentiment. O... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting Methods How to raise a bright child: 2 of 9
One of the most overlooked aspects of raising a bright child is music. I don't mean putting an instrument in their hands. I don't mean trying to bring out the "prodigy" in your child by throwing them a mini-football, or teaching them martial arts. I'm talking about basic, essential things.. One of those things is playing cla... More..
Relationships & Family > Marital Conflicts Is pornography harming your relationship?: 5 of 21
There are few things in the world that are as prevalent as husbands who masturbate. Some men before marriage were frequent "self-helpers" and lived that way for 10-15 years or more; some men after marriage became just occasional "self-helpers." This is a subject that needs to be talked about. There are not many writings on t... More..
Sports & Recreation > Baseball Coaching & Skills How to throw a curve ball: 2 of 8
In 1907 the curveball king, Mordecai Brown of the Chicago Cubs, a farm boy from Terre Haute with a mutilated hand, pitched and won the decisive game in the World Series by hurling a shutout against the Detroit Tigers. He who had lost parts of two fingers on his right hand in a farm accident and is credited with mastering the... More..
Arts & Humanities > Ancient History Roman society and the rise of Christianity: 1 of 4
Any serious discussion of Roman society and the rise of Christianity is incomplete without mention of Pliny the Younger's letter at some point early in the second century to the emperor Trajan (98-117 CE). Regarding what should be the appropriate policy concerning Christians, Pliny wrote: "...this is the course I have taken ... More..
Health & Fitness > Substance Abuse & Addiction (Other) How substance abuse prevention, treatment and recovery can work together: 1 of 4
If we are supposed to take the numbers researchers put out seriously, ours is a society caught in the negative cycle of alcoholism and drug addiction that rivals the days of Joplin and Hendrix. "Meet the new boss," the Who sang, "same as the old boss." According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administratio... More..
Celebrations & Holidays > Easter Past disputes over the date of Easter: 1 of 4
I used to wonder what the big fuss over the Easter date was about. Now I know and it's, well, kinda complicated. The trouble began way back when the early Jewish believer in Christ really still felt like an integral part of Israel - by the ties of blood and law and the affection of his heart - because for some time after the...
