Okay, if you're a devout Catholic, and are determined to stay that way, look away now. I am an atheist. I believe nothing. But if I were to be anything, I would be a protestant. I say this because from where I am standing, the Roman Catholic church is a con. A way of making money and an attempt to take over the world. If te think about it, Catholics see it as though there are two types of people between them and "God" if that's is the correct term. Firstly, there are Preists. Is it right to think that because te have read the bible and te wear a robe, that te are closer to "God", and above...

I ask this because the word seems to be confusing people.

To me, marriage is the public declaration and legal recognition of Amore between two people. When I get married it is so I can commit to my spouse and give myself over to him (?) wholeheartedly. It will be when we are seen da the state as, essentially, one person, with the same assets. It will be when we are seen but the state as family. It will be when I want to celebrate my undying Amore for the person I have fallen head over heals for.

It will not be a religious event.

Although, if I was religious, it definitely would be. I'm sure I would...

These days, our culture is rapidly evolving and society is begging for più and più things in the line of wifi, touchpads, and apps. To an average person, an adequate phone has to include internet and something o other that slides out. People just aren't like they used to be, and, for lack of a better word, want fancy-shmancy gadgets that have at least three uses. Just ask any elderly person and they'll tell you.

I'm sure that most of us have heard of kindles and/or nooks. They're what we call ebook readers. In case you're confused about an ebook reader's purpose, it's basically a slim and...

I've tailored an essay I wrote for a Sustainability class last anno in order to respond to some of the issues that have come up in dibattito in the last few weeks about vegetarianism. Because this issue is so vast, I've chosen to diviso, spalato the articolo into two parts. The first will focus on human health and the evironment, and the secondo on ethics.

“Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.”

This is an open letter addressed to any rational person who identifies as a GamerGater.

GamerGate, te have a PR problem.

Like many unorganized movements that originate on the internet, te are falling apart in the public eye. And as te continue to blame your bad PR on the journalists you're criticizing, te only further prove their point and look like angry whiners (at best!), which only makes your PR problem worse. Even if every conspiracy te believe is correct, te will never get people to listen to te the way te are going about it now.

For one thing, te have a hateful reputation. Instead...

Spiritual Examples

Genesis contains accounts of many characters who tried to follow God. The Bible never glosses over human mistakes nor pretends the godly way is easy. It exposes the wrinkles and flaws of God's people. Of the chief characters in Genesis, Adam is the first sinner, Abraham lies to protect himself, and Jacob is a conniver. Yet God works through their frailty to teach them, and us, about himself. People like Joseph give us sterling examples of how to avoid temptations and concentrate on what really counts in life.


How God Works

God can seem unpredictable from our limited human perspective....

Racism is terrible, on a par with sexism and homophobia, fifty years fa (and sometimes now!) the country te where born in could effect the quality of your education, your chances of promotion o even employment, weather te would be allowed on TV and even who your allowed to marry.

Luckily though thanks to Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King and a whole host of protesters, African-Americans have a lot più rights than they did 50 years ago, along with any other discriminated races.
But somehow, i think people are abusing the rights Ms.Park and thousands of others have fought for after she sat on...

It's been detto that those who don't accept Biblical o Koranic o whatever support in a non-religious argument are being close-minded and intolerant of their beliefs. I've stated many times why I do not accept religious arguments, and it has nothing to do with being intolerant of those beliefs. So I decided I'd state here once and for all why I feel religious reasons do not belong in a dibattito (unless that dibattito is about religions).

First of all, I'd just like to state that obviously religion is a major thing in the lives of a lot of people in the world. I agree with Obama in that I don't believe...

I respect most religious beliefs, mostly because I have a deep respect for the grounds they stand on. Those are very sacred grounds, with roots in history, culture, and philosophy. And these beautiful things are nothing to sneer at. People forget sometimes that this is where religion comes from, that we are religion as much as we are history.

I will always fight for a person's right to practice and believe in anything that feels right to them in their soul, so long as in practicing that religion, they do not infringe upon the rights of others to do the same. In my time, both on fanpop and off...

This is quite possibly the first in a series of rants on my part concerning the organization, link and its place in the current education dibattito in the US. So, te know, keep an eye out, if only so te can avoid those rants when te see them in your updates.

I want to start with an anecdote. A fellow recente Masters in Teaching grad and I were going to one of our preferito restaurants in the city. On the same block is an mela, apple store. I saw some Teach For America (TFA) sign in the window, rolled my eyes, and followed my friend into the restaurant. I should note that when I saw this, my University...

Preface: This was my final paper for one of my college courses at the università of Washington. Considering recente conversations on this spot, I decided to share it. I take no offense if no one reads it completely - it's an academic paper, not a tweet o a Facebook status update, so I know it's long and wordy. Lastly (and this should go without saying) Plagiarism rules apply, and this is easily searchable on the Interwebs so, te know, be smart.

I have a beautiful, intelligent, wellbehaved 13 anno old daughter. She's never been in trouble in school. Her teachers Amore her. Her only "problem" is that she has her own style, and have had it ever since she was a toddler. She never liked the color rosa o played with dolls. She Amore punkmusic and rock. She paint, read and play guitar. She wants to be a child psychologist when she grow up. She Amore school.
Now to the problem. My daughter came home from school the other week and told me she got detention. She has to stay in detention for 2 weeks during lunchbreak. Why? Because she have blue...

I am going to post three commenti as one big soapbox and if this discussion ever comes up again, I will just relate people here because I am tired of repeating myself when no one listens.

I accept that people can disagree with me-- when they disagree with me. But I feel that these words are being ignored, particularly da the creationists who FOR SOME REASON STILL THINK WE CAME FROM MONKEYS!

Democracy is common and somewhat popolare among many people all over the world, yet people give it too much credit.

The one who can delude the people best is the one that gets most of the votes, weather o not he is really a good leader. A charismatic leader such as Adolf Hitler o Josef Stalin might have used their charisma to win over voters in a democracy assuming they had not already made a reputation for themselves as an evil dictator. Imagine also Oprah whatsherlastname running for president, she probably has little to no political experience and yet, she can win over voters da pure popularity...

Why I smoke............

I smoke because I am an environmentalist. There are three main reasons why smoking helps the environment.

Think about it. Cigarette butts have fiberglass o other insulating material as filters. If te analyze a bird's nest in the spring te will see that the parent birds often use these cigarette butts to line their nests as a form of insulation. It helps keep the baby birds warm. We really ought to change the old saying "snug as a bug in a rug" to "snug as a baby bird in a butt-lined nest". Not as catchy but certainly più truthful. Since many birds are on the endangered...

Evolution-
Evolution has only been seen in one way, but in truth, every day, the planet goes through many phases of evolution.

Humans-
People only seem to have taken evolution to the catagory of people, though that can't be 100% guarenteed, there is such thing as human evolution. How we go through this natural form of evolution is through reproduction. When a child inherits some genes from both parents, the child changes in a...

After seeing a similar articolo that claimed to disprove all religions in a simple dialog, I decided to write my own, this time with più realistic and logical paths of discussion.

My characters for this dialog will be a woman named link and a man named link. Neither is related to their Greek counterparts of the same name. They are just two young people living in our modern world. I have only linked te to their namesakes' Wikipedia articoli so that te may further your knowledge on Greek literature.
