God vs. Communism: Our search for a national identity
How a decade of racial and political turmoil, a religious president, and an activist priest shaped the religious identity of a nation.











Outsourced Spirituality: The Organized Religion
The history of Mankind is filled with numerous instances which can be seen as advancements or retreats. The advent of writing is universally seen as an advancement.











Religion is the Crack Cocaine of the Masses
With the election finally over, we can turn to the biggest social divider of our lifetime, religion.











My story: Growing up as a Jehovah's Witness
Every child raised as a Jehovah's Witness will have different circumstances. However, the intensity of pressure to conform remains constant.











The Message of All Religions (and why it's usually ignored)
In this excerpt from Mr. Shelton's forthcoming novel "The Message" (expected relase date, Fall 2009), a humorous insight is posited as to what God has tried to tell us over the last couple millennia, and why we keep screwing it up.











God is Coming
You knew it would happen sooner or later. You knew there was no escape. But do you really know why?











When God is replaced by a terrorist!
What to do when a mosque/temple is taken over by terrorists











Hope Springs Eternal!
A prayer for a sick child? You are faced with a situation that there is no known cure, not much research being done and consequently treatments and medical care are very expensive.











LOTTERY TICKETS AND AN ANGEL OF LIGHT

The Reincarnation Theory
      Do you believe in reincarnation of souls and a new physical life on the Earth after your current life? Well, nearly 80% of our population in India do believe...











The New Trends
The New Trends. The world has been on a "trend change" mode for centuries. Such changes don't come about overnight but in small doses over a period of time.











A Godfather's History of Cursing by Joe Harless
As my friends start to become parents, my wife and I have started to attend social gatherings put on for their small children. We find ourselves as the honored guests at birthday parties and...











The Titanic Effect...And The Criminal Justice System
It is both astonishing, not to mention deeply disturbing, how the serious - and potentially fatal - flaws in our current 'criminal justice' system bear a remarkable similarity to those of the ill-fated ship, the Titanic. What is equally alarming is that no one realizes just how similar until we or someone we know has a personal head-on collision with the "iceberg."











Ministerial Seduction
There are times when I am amazed of how a woman will allow herself to be so engulfed in a man to a point she does not consider the logic behind it. There is a drawing force that automatically draws a woman to a man. It gets a hold of her and takes her to another world. Some people say it was activated in the Garden of Eden when the woman became disobedient to the command of God. This hypnotic drawing force is often times misinterpreted as falling in love by some women. In reality, it is seduction – a means for a fall.











Rich Folks Games
First of all in order for rich folks to have a game, there has to be some poor folks. Rich among rich can only stand each other so long because egos are always working towards more.











An interview with God
I interviewed film stars, business personas, sports personas and whos and whos of every industry. But one fine day, I got this lifetime chance to interview the God. Iam surprised with the outcome, hope you too will.











The Truth Will Set You Free: Hurricane Katrina
As the winds gusted through Louisiana, our country viewed the tragedy from their television screens. Everybody had his or her own understanding of this historical event. Listening to people who were not near the scene but had answers to why it had to happen, I couldn't help but notice some of the Christian perspectives the most.











The Question They All Missed
One can’t help wondering why every journalist at the President’s press conference last month missed the obvious question. Which is, does the President support the separation between church and state or not?











Three Cheers For FREETHINKERS
FREETHINKERS is a must-have for anyone who values liberty in America, for secularists and the religious alike.











A Heartfelt Salute To
Like all Americans who enjoy a little politics with their entertainment, I have greatly enjoyed this NBC drama since its debut in September 1999. However, during this past season, the quality of the writing has surpassed itself, from excellent to outstanding, especially the last two episodes. I found myself wishing that the excitement of this latest Presidential election, albeit a fictional one, had been present in our actual election, which in the opinions of many left a great deal to be desired, in terms of both the candidates and the final result. If this had been a real election, the results would have been close; and for many Americans, represented a tough choice between two strong, likable and respectable candidates.











Church Violates State In Virginia
No matter how many times it has been made clear that the separation of church and state must be protected and maintained at all levels of government, it is painfully obvious that members of the Christian "right" will continue to make every effort to circumvent it or, if they can get away with it, eliminate it entirely.











The Seven Joys of Secularism
It’s impossible to count how many times secularists are told by religious folk of various faiths that we will regret our "godless" or "sinful" life sooner or later. Although I can’t speak for everyone, I can honestly report that this secular writer hasn’t experienced any regrets for my decision to trade in the unhappiness of traditional Catholicism for the joys of secularism. Since no regrets have surfaced in more than the twenty years that have elapsed since making the secular choice, it’s rather doubtful that they will surface any time in the near or distant future.











IS Money GOD?
I knelt, then genuflected before the hallowed altar. I stood up, smiled and inserted my ATM card! I confessed my PIN! It graced me with several twenties! The Fount, from which blessings flow, had sent me on my merry way with freedoms and liberties, metaphorically, bulging from my Levis! O, happy day!











WRITING FOR FREE SHOULD WE OR SHOULDNT WE?
Writing without pay is a touchy subject that has been discussed on numerous mailing lists to which I belong. More than once I have entered into a confrontation over this subject and been told by one author she would question the credibility of a writer who was writing for free. I'd like to address some of the issues that have been brought up on this subject.











Does the Pain Ever Go Away?
On the 16th anniversary of my mother's death, I found myself filled with depression. Why this year? Why after all this time was the pain still there? Most importantly, I asked myself, "Will it ever go away?"











Life After Death
Life after death is an eternal life. The life that we will never find the death anymore. It is different life from the life in the world.











Islam is not Moslem
Often non-moslem people judge moslem people as a bad people, like terrorist, brutal, etc. The judgment influences their thinking about Islam itself that Islam is a bad religion. They see the moslem, but have they seen Islam?











Jesus Christ's Sand Writing
In John Chapter 8, Christ is presented with a woman caught in adultery by the Pharisees and scribes. They presented her to Christ seeking His judgement upon her, but instead He wrote in the sand and asked one question.
