Ever wanted to know "what is the meaning of life?"? Well, wonder no more. Put simply, it is a grammatical aberration, a case of really bad syntax. Ask yourself "what is the meaning of sand" or "what is the meaning of tree" and you would realize how silly it is. Whenever someone hears the question they automatically correct it into a valid question, such as: For what purpose did god create life? For what purpose was I born? What purpose do living organisms serve? Wh...

Ever wondered what the answer is to the question "what came first, the chicken or the egg?" Well, wonder no more. There are two answers, which one you accept depends on your world-view. For the creationist: God created chickens in Genesis, not eggs, chickens. He created fully formed men, animals, fish, plants, etc, all adult. Thus the chicken came first. Could it have been an inaccuracy and god actually created eggs instead? well, no... because chicken eggs die unless they are incu...

    Everyone should have an unchanging place. A place where time has no hold, where memories can flourish EXACTLY as you remember them. A place where the laughter of childhood resonates through your veins the very moment you arrive. Some people are lucky in that their parent’s home can be this unchanging place, if they have been in the same home for a long time. Even then, it is hard because rooms get painted and bathrooms get remodeled. It is hard to find your unchanging p...

The Main Stream Media seems to agree with Congressman John the mouth Murtha when he maintains that his older constituents are "racists" and "rednecks". Of course, Murtha is older himself so if the shoe fits, wear it John. They got this idea from the Chicago Tribune, which ran an article pointing out that senior citizens are biologically bent toward bigotry. The article was titled "Older Voters Racial Bias May Have Medical Reasons" {what a crock}!!! The Tribune Claimed "For very basic physiolo...

  The stage is set by the Master —, through Benjamin Creme For many years We, your Elder Brothers, have warned men of the dangers of blindly following market forces which, themselves, are blind.

Yet the 'men of money' who built this towering edifice on shifting sands are stunned by the outcome, are at a loss to under...
