We can make ships that float on water and planes that fly in the air. We can even use the black earth to grow everything we can possibly think of! We are almighty and all other creatures must bow down to us!
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. Simply the blind faith that causes wars, intolerance, the faith that says you are right and I am not, the faith that makes some people morons, that's the faith I do not get.

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.

Seconds after, his plane exploded in mid-air, and this was witnessed by several witnesses including a local newspaper reporter and an attorney. On board were his wife Caroline Bessette and her sister Lauren. Lauren's luggage was recovered miles from the crash site, an event that can only be caused by a mid-air explosion.
If I am a Zionist, does that mean I am anti-Palestinian? Zionist. Just the very mention of the "Z" word is enough to drive someone's blood pressure into the stratosphere. So emotive is this topic that one can be certain that discussion and debate around it can result in a a mini stroke!
GOVERNMENT ANTI-TERRORISM PARANOIA RIFE IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA As an example as to how far Governments will go in terms of their anti-terrorism paranoia we may take a recent Western Australian case as a perfect example as to how stupid and idiotic some Governments really are.
Celebrity deaths - aren't they pretty? The tasteless MJ Jokes started the very day after he died. "The autopsy determined the cause of Michael Jackson's death - he died from food poisoning. He ate some 12 year old nuts."

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. Not only that, he has the power to grant immortality. That's their hook, that's their sales pitch. John 3:16, and all that!
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. Then, in 2008, it was the Republican’s turn to feel the shock and despair of rejection as they became a minority party in a nation led by Democratic President Barack Obama.
