  Media Conspiracy At The Hands Of Justified Anger People's anger at traditional media is justified. The media outlets in this country have spent decades selling filtered, watered-down news to be consumed as if it was just another piece of candy or beef jerky. The idea of news as a public service has long been abandoned to the idea of it as a "product" that is "sold" rather than reported. However, when the masses started to abandon traditional media, they went to a source that was far more destructive than anything that they would have ever received from TV. There is no validity of information on social media. The sources on social media are far more biased than anything that was ever on cable TV in the first place. Instead of finding objective sources, the masses within the realm of social media just went to mouthpieces that echoed their preconceived biases. The fact is that objective sources of information exist. It's called NPR, AP, PolitiFact and Snopes....

Turkey The international response to the earthquake that has affected Turkey has been very supportive, as it should be. There is a great humanitarian crisis there, and thus, great need for those affected. As such, it’s vital to lend a helping hand to those who have been unfortunately affected by the quakes.  With that noted, something does need to be brought up. Regardless of how we feel, when we start acting like we know what goes on in God’s Control Room, then we start to become obnoxious about our religious beliefs. The fact is that from a spiritual perspective, we don’t know why Turkey was hit. Disasters are an unfortunate part of life’s experience, regardless of one’s background. Plate tectonics are a natural process of the Earth, and thus, earthquakes are a part of life’s experience unfortunately. As like when massive hurricanes constantly strike the Philippians. The islands are in a warm climate that makes it highly susceptible to constant strikes. Florida too. Thus, for tho...

These topics are very important real world issues that affect us all in the universal setting. Regardless of one's ethnicity, gender, national identity, political or religious affiliation, the effects of these topics are universal in scope. These are topics that demand a united, interfaith response as again, it's a universal issue that is of vital addressing. Those affected by it, along with those in the community, regardless of its location, are affected by it, regardless of background. There is a massive responsibility when addressing these topics. In Regard To Forced Labor Forced labor is a massive component of the issue too. Regardless of which part of the globe you're on, people have been exploited for either sexual or labor reasons. According to the U.S. Department of State, there have been an estimated 27 million people worldwide who are exploited at any given time (and that number could even be higher too). This is a universal issue that is global in nature. M...

The reason why many have left church is because those who came to church to hear about God have instead been slammed with either politics or social commentary nonstop. Many have left because they became quick and tired of being crapped on because they didn't identify or conform to the political commentary espoused by those on the pulpit. For many preachers the world over, the pulpit became a tool to present their personal views on social and political commentary as quote "Biblical Teaching". Our spirituality is determined by our relationship with Jesus. One's stance on issues like Global Warming or Evolution is not going to determine your spirituality at all. Yet when such issues are referenced, even in passing, then they become arbitrary attributes to determine one's spirituality. Even on a topic like abortion, if one feels that it's wrong, but is also a private personal matter, they are all-of-a-sudden going to Hell. While I feel that abortion should be ...
