Without a doubt as the 1990s came upon people, times were changing. Women were allowed to be sexy instead of sex objects.

Bad Fathers And Their Effects Blossoms At Center Of ‘Magnolia’

Being that it’s Father’s Day, dads are often portrayed poorly in the movies.

Communion Ban Proves Christianity Is About Bullying, Control And Exclusion Rather Than Spiritual Englightenment

Chrisitanity in its modern form is a walking contradiction. It should be a religion based on inclusiveness, yet there are so many guidelines to follow to even be considered a Christian. For decades, if not centuries, organized Christianity has told people how to behave and how to act with the threat of violence or inContinue reading “Communion Ban Proves Christianity Is About Bullying, Control And Exclusion Rather Than Spiritual Englightenment”
