Religious Teachings and the Conformity of Hatred

I have been witnessing a disturbing trend lately. While this is not a new trend by any means, it has been brought before me in more and more circumstances throughout my recent daily travels.

The Day the World Ended

Where were you the day the world ended? I was on a cliff, feet hanging freely, wind rustling my hair, the blue water dancing beneath me. Life was good.

The problems of spirituality and the cost of salvation
