As a Christian, I can vouch for the group as a whole (myself included), that in general, Christians are a mess! I’ve never witnessed so many dysfunctional, obsessed, fantasy driven people in my life. There is all manner of "psychosis" going on: guilt about sin, insecurity with God, fear of hell, obsession for details, over-analysis of everything, hypocrisy, paranoia that Satan has deceived them, messiah/prophet complexes, obsession about rituals and ways of doing things, dread of being tainted by sin, shame of failing spiritually, secret knowledge that only they have been anointed...

Conservative – Traditionalist – Liberal – Lukewarm – Orthodox – Catholic
Conservatives are those who believe that the whole truth and nothing but the truth was contained in what they had been taught by parents, relatives, friends, and other instructors during their formative years. They believe whatever they learned whether it was fact, personal opinion, or error that had been commonly accepted for various periods of time, even centuries. They tend to be narrowly focused and accept the content of what they had been taught as being unchangeable and irrefutable truths. ...

I have seen many journals in the past year and a half spreading lies and uneducated assuptions about Muslims and Islam....I keep asking myself...
What is Wrong with Christians Today?
Christians number one third of the human population of six billion persons. If Christ were to return today and render that judgment that he foretold would occur when he arrived what would be his assessment of Christendom, his own kingdom? (Matthew 13:42, 43; Colossians 1:13; 2 Corinthians 5:10)
Would our Lord ask of us the following two questions? (Matthew 12:36, 37)
“Why Didn’t You Read My...

Let's face it -- English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

When it comes to taking responsibility for her failures, Sarah Palin is completely unaccountable. Her finger is always pointed at the most convenient scapegoat. Last fall, I said she was George W. Bush with lipstick; nothing is ever her fault. With her resignation, she has set a new bar for blame.
A 10 Month Accounting of Blame...
Troopergate was her brother-in-law's fault.
Walt Monegan was a rogue commissioner.
Neglecting a vetting of Palin's appointed replacement of Commissioner Monegan wasn't her fault, she didn't know Chuck Kopp had a sexual harassment charge. His 14 day...

By no means is a Chinese crackdown on organized religion unique; China has a long-standing antagonism towards religion, as evidenced by the highly publicized crack down on the Falun Gong sect a few years back, and the ongoing persecution of the Tibetans. However, unlike Falun Gong, Uighurs are not exceptionally popular in the West, and unlike the Buddhists of Tibet, have no charismatic leader in exile or celebrity converts in Hollywood to rally to their cause.
One feels the need to stress that, while this article focuses on Eastern Turkistan and the Uighur population thereof, this...

NaturalNews) A study by the Harvard Medical School of Public Health confirmed that public health officials could convince most people in the U.S. to alter their daily lives, follow government mandates and do as they are told after only a small amount of hyping that a deadly global pandemic was eminent. It documented that people tend to look to the government as a sort of Big Daddy who has their best interests at heart. People think Big Daddy will take care of them and they don't have to bother taking care of themselves. This mentality has led to an open season of government and...

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!! First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn't get tested for diabetes. Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets andWhen we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps...
