    The four horsemen of the Apocalypse, rethought

    I’ve been recently researching the horsemen. And I’ve thought, what if we understood this wrongly. I believe that the horsemen are here, causing apocalyptic traits. And we have to destroy then, not wait for them. For all our lifetime we’ve had War, Famine, Death and Disease. Which are what the...

    Charismania (Poem and Discussion Topic)

    The words that come out of your mouth Start to blend together into a string Of never-ending syllabic cacophony The whole room becomes full Of the ritualistic utterances That confuse the newcomers And mock God's Holy Scripture People fall over and lose control The spirits manifesting in the...

    The superannuated Armageddon

    For countless years people have screamed it's the end and jumped off cliffs, spires, skyscrapers etc just to avoid the possibility of such a fate. Even now millions watched the skies waiting to see the imminent fire and brimstone rain down upon us. So what do you think? Are we at the end of...

    Committing a Sin to Benefit/Protect My Child

    Based on our current address, my child is zoned for a low ranking, underperforming, and dangerous school! After months of losing sleep trying to make the right decision, I chose to ask a friend (with an address zoned for a much better, safer school) if we could sign a fake lease agreement and...

    Is Stereotyping Necessary? What are Your Opinions?

    Why does society use it? Do you think it's a good idea? Do you think it's a bad idea? Have you ever been stereotyped because of who you are? I personally don't think it's a good idea as it can give a false idea about someone. People should get to know them before they make assumptions about...
