God is praised even when evil happens. Christians believe that God gave his son (John 3:16) to save the mortal race, but no mention is made of the fate of earth. What did God truly give the world? The answer will surprise many.
Christmas is considered a time of families being together, sharing drink, food, dance, and various pleasures–but this has never been the rule for all nor the fortune for everyone, as religions have held it captive, deprived it of its temporal joys, and denied the reality of peace and harmony.
Newt Gingrich declared, during an Iowa debate, that Palestinians were “invented” and never were an historical people. History, archaeology, and more proves that Gingrich is no historian and out-of-touch with reality.
The nation of Peru is impoverished and uneducated because of a corrupt government, church control of the state, poorly or untrained teachers, a venal military and police force that is an active part of drug trafficking, and most of all because of a odiously opportunistic Congress and the Fujimoristas in it–such as Martha Chavez. Alberto Fujimori went from an underpaid professor of agriculture to a multi-millionaire once he became dictator with the support of Martha Chavez–who denounces the families who mourn their dead executed by government paid assassins–and vows to dismantle a memorial to the children and young the national spy network (SIN) murdered in cold blood. No one is more cold-blooded in Peru than Martha Chavez and the Opus Dei archbishop of Lima: Juan Luis Cipriani who matches the bishop in Dan Brown’s book “DaVinci Code”.
What can be discovered in existing records is not only the absence of information for apostolic succession and the papacy, but equally important is the reality that most of what is allegedly Christian is far older than the Bible.

Suicides are the result of depression and bullying. Suicides are not spontaneous, and are a result of lack of communication, compassion, and openness. The family, religion, politics, school, and work are all factors in suicides.
The least educated, most gullible turn to fortune-tellers, star-gazers, numerologists and religious fundamentalists in quest of answers that they are too afraid to find for themselves. All religions have gazed to the stars for answers and ordained or commissioned religious leaders to provide rituals that include eating the body and drinking the blood of their crucified saviours. But why is this? This essay explains the foundations of fear and the quest for comfort in a world not known–even seeking relief from extra terrestrials.
Little is known about the man many call Peter the Fisherman–but was he real? Outside of the Bible there are no other contemporary records, and those written in the first and second centuries CE have been proven or under continued scrutiny as forgery. What is the evidence?
Psychology of Saul/St. Paul – A Study of Linguistics, Translation, Interpretation and Biblical Study
Saul of Tarsus claims that he met Jesus of the New Testament in a “blinding light” (a theophany), yet those around him neither heard nor saw anything. Most psychologists define this incident as a seizure. There was more than a physical seizure, but a psychological reworking of the New Testament to contain not the message of peace, but one of war, hate, and division.
According to the 90-year-old racist Rabbi Ovadia Yosef (born Abdullah Youssef (Hebrew: עובדיה יוסף) on September 23 1920, Basra, Iraq and now living in Jerusalem is a Mizrahi Haredi rabbi), the head of Shas’ Council of Torah Sages and a senior Sephardi adjudicator, the sole purpose of non-Jews is to serve Jews.
