This post is directed towards those Christians that are beginning to question their faith. First of all, do not mistake your own innate predilection towards logic and reason for some evil incarnation of Satan. Unless you’ve eaten feces laden food and thereby gained a tapeworm in the brain the only thing in there is you. Whether…

Islam and Christianity are both death cults. If only you would die you might get your reward. Die in service to god and your reward increases many fold. Existence is much superior to non-existence.

The alpha male or female rules. Since time began there have been those who were “born” to lead. Whether for good or ill these individuals have directed the course of their social groups. Be it wolves or elephants or any social animal, including humans, there have always been those who were in charge, those who…
