Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Protecting the children from religion: 3 of 22

As a person of faith here is where I stand on this issue. While I believe that we have to instill good and moral values within our children, we should never force religion down their throats. Like Richard Dawkins, I have a big problem with people calling one child a "Christian child" or a "Muslim child" or a child of any par...

this is what hell is like this is what hell feels like, being trapped within your own doings. surrounded by millions, yet living all alone. this is what hell feels like, as your mind goes in circles, to the point where you go through so much, only to find out that your back to where you started, this is what hell feels like,...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Feeling lost: 293 of 652

Standing at the edge of the world, watching the fallen angels thrust the ones you loved down the bottomless abyss of death. Cringing at the sight of such devastation, knowing that there is nothing you can do. Screaming at the top of your lungs, hoping the gods would save such souls, but your voice is muffled, drowned by the ...
Politics, News & Issues > US Leaders Judging George Bush's performance as president: 27 of 57

W is for: Worst president yet. At least as far as current reality goes. I was a Bush supporter in 2000, believing that he would be a breath of fresh air within the White House, a fellow Republican that would bring back honesty and integrity into the national arena. In 2004, I realized that his presidency went against everyth...
Society & Lifestyle > North American Culture Sacrifices of the American people: 1 of 1

As our young men and women in the military are fighting and putting their lives at risk each and every day in Iraq, the rest of us do not seem to grasp the idea that we are a nation at war. Whether you are for this war or not is of little significance when it comes to the sacrifices each and every one of us is planning to ma...
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections The case for Barack Obama's candidacy to the 2008 presidential election: 27 of 40

I intend this to be a letter to my Democratic friends. As a Republican I care very much for my country. And from my understanding, patriotism goes beyond party lines and loyalty. No matter what our political affiliations, we are all Americans. This is my case for Barack Obama. People out there do not just vote based on perso...

certainty is what i need, and certainty is what i will not get for a very long time. we grow up believing god is some bearded white man watching our every move from the heavens above, counting our every deed and our every sin that will be accounted for on judgement day. we grow up believing god is a mystery that we will neve...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Christian: 265 of 276

Fear God, Fear God Fear God, fear God, fear God they tell me, or He'll never ever ever love me! Must be His servant, must be His slave, must spread His message like ol' King Dave! Fear God, fear God, fear God they tell me, or He'll never ever ever help me! I'll sin and sin my way to hell, and fall to the bottom of that Flami...
Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology What it means to be a republican: 8 of 8

"I Too, Am A Republican..." Not every Republican supports a partisan, hawkish, anti-abortionist, anti-gay agenda. Not every Republican is a religious fundementalist who seeks to bring about the "End of Times." Not every Republican is a bigot. Not every Republican governs without abiding by the law set forth by the United Sta...
