What does an atheist do once he has lost faith in himself? Even though I could be considered an atheist or agnostic, every once in a while talking about religion like it was some sort of a mental illness, I do believe faith is important in our lives, independent of whether you believe in god or anyone else.

Palestinian education - an investment in the future or child abuse? Education is a basic human right that is often taken for granted in the western world.

Who needs healthcare in a Christian nation? Who needs healthcare in a "Christian nation"? This is a "Christian nation" -- so they say. This saviour Jesus Christ has the power to heal.

The American Republican Party as a Militant Minority Following the second election of George W. Bush in 2004, liberal Democrats experienced a deep despair. Many voiced an inclination to move to Canada. Bush’s policies continued to fail miserably leading to an economic depression and an endless war. In the 2006 election, the Democrats came to dominate Congress.
