Guns: Common Sense Response Needed in the United States




My recent feature: State of the Union Address: Commonsense Gun Response Warranted was written in response to an assignment from the Yahoo News editorial team.

A strong thank you to everyone who has been downloading my first book: Fast Fiction and Other Stuff on Amazon.com. Your response has been heartwarming. Humor, horror, mystery, adventure, travel, sports and a few selected stories are all wrapped inside this mini-tome.

Here is a special feature that highlights many of our collective childhood memories:  When Baseball Cards were King.

I always find myself thinking about those bygone days spent with elementary school friends and family members when the baseball season is being played. Don't ever forget that part of who were are today and part of who we will always be, is forever tied to who we were way back when.

Easter post: Those who doubt that Jesus existed, or is God, will always be around. That's part of the human condition.

The theory of the "Big Bang" proposes that everything magically came from nothing. Nothing existed and then suddenly everything that exists began to form. 

Sound familiar? It should. That's what people who believe in God think as well. Except we believe that God created the world. 

Secular humanists refuse to accept that idea. In their world, nothing created everything. That makes no sense and reveals their logic as infinitely flawed. Those individuals believe that the information surrounding Jesus' birth, life and death represents a "fairy tale". 

For example: A non-believer would state that money would simply appear in the empty palm of an individual, or that a house would magically appear in a field. That "logic" isn't rational.

Never forget that everyone who questions religious beliefs is an expert on one thing, their own opinion. Their ideas are steeped in emotional logic that is often sewn with bigotry. These personality types will loudly claim to be open to every possible form of "tolerance", while simultaneously attacking the ideology of others. 

See these arguments for what they are. See others for who they are and NEVER STOP challenging them (through peaceful methods) during their entire lives. 

Don't disregard, or turn away from them. If you do, they will be lost. If you remain engaged, they might welcome you into heaven some day.
