At a young age I prayed, to what god I know not… I do know it was a better god than commonly depicted in both the Old and New Testaments of the bible. Why, that god of the christian bible was nothing, weak and impotent, compared to the one I held in high esteem… indeed,…

As many who know me are aware, my opinion of human beings in general is not very high. Like many open-minded people, however, there is a scale upon which I place people, according to the depths of their depravity and not just a high and a low. A spectrum of moral highs and lows, if…

There are many reasons that the United Nations must leave our shores. It has become a foe of the United States, as those in charge are our enemies. Our enemies eye the successes of the United States and wish to feed upon the fruits of those successes. Within the United Nations there have been calls…

(Also titled: The Nonexistent Reward) No one except the terminally ill, suffering great agony desires death. This nothing, this ending, is a primal fear in humans who have seen people just go away. If some way could be found to continue existence, most would desire it, especially if that extension promised paradise. Imagine regaining total…
