Christianity is a death sentence in Cuba? Wow. I'm usually the first to jump to Cuba's defense and criticize "American heavy-handedness" in the form of the embargo. Communism taken to the full scale is truly something...
I can resonate with you on this. The internet, for anyone insecure in...
Gave this a google search thinking that it was an idea that would be laughed at (like Christian Jazz, being the fact that often times, it's instrumental). Glad to see it's fairly active as I come late to the dubstep bus. :D
I wouldn't put her squarely in either category. Her songs do come from a very spiritual place. I'm particularly a huge fan of her Bob Marley covers which tend to be religiously driven. On the contrary however, I know some Christians (my dad for example) is not hugely accepting of Rastafari...

And where does this notion come from that Christians treat gays badly? Have any of you seen a...
This thread has actually swayed my perception of the drug trade to being in favor of legalization. However, the point that's still grinding me is how you go about the drugs that actually do have the power to kill you on just a mild overdose. Furthermore, Any limits you put in place won't satisfy...
