1. Manahattan: Same Time, Next Year. I think? I love Manhattan. I just spent the last 3 days there, staying in the Upper East side with a tour of the entire city, including a tour of the Statue of Liberty. But I must say, I think the entire island is the epitome of the free market economy. No... (posted by Jennifer 357 days 4 hours ago.)

2. Overwhelming Doubt I haven’t written an article for a while, mainly because I’ve been too busy trying to determine what exactly is my stand on religion, meaning very specifically the Judeo Christian God and the biblical accounts of the said... (posted by Jennifer 1 year 155 days ago.)

3. The Tao of Metaphysics Don't call me religious, call me a metaphysicist. For all of us who care about truth, metaphysics and physics top the list of self defined intrigues.

4. The Uncaused Cause Why can't there be an intelligent first cause? When speaking of the origin of life, scientists prefer to believe that life on earth began after a series of water carrying asteroids collided with our then preformed planet, or that life emerged from...

5. Shakespeare's Sister Why is it that we tend to think of Nuns as such unhappy, repressed women living in poverty with lousy purses and thick pantyhose? Meanwhile, a priest is revered, educated, and is often entertained by the patronage of the upper classes. Do nuns... (posted by Jennifer 2 years 32 days ago.)

6. Young Earth Creationists Drive Me Batty There isn't a whole lot that drives me more nutty in this world than young Earth creationists.

7. Free Will, Sin, and Suffering Why is there suffering in God's world? This question lurks behind every failure, disability, death of a loved one,and every injustice; act of violence, heartbreak, starvation, and natural disaster. But what if there is a greater good for every... (posted by Jennifer 2 years 59 days ago.)

8. Un-Earthing the Hebrew Origins of Christianity Many Christians do not recognize that the Original Church was a branch of Judaism ( hence, they are grafted into the Vine ).

9. Poetries:Lost and Found Shadows and Sunlight To live in the sun is to engage in life! It is a submission to the rules of nature; humanity is their gift. They are content, have families and they are very popular and successful ... (posted by Jennifer 3 years 62 days ago.)

10. Biblical Archaeology: Why Do We Search? I've noticed a sort of pattern emerging in my spiritual journey that I can only refer to as a "growing pains."

11. The Significance of the Four Gospels in Relation to Jewish Tradition As I study the New Testament in the Bible, one significant question that the Biblical scholars have attempted to answer has struck my attention regarding "Why only the four Gospels?" Or even why four Gospels at all, when there is only one story... (posted by Jennifer 3 years 154 days ago.)

12. Looking Back Upon Natan Sharansky's " The Case for Democracy" The book The Case for Democracy by Natan Sharansky was used by the Bush administration as pro - Operation Iraqi Liberation (OIL) propaganda based on the premise that all people want to be free from authoritarian governments. Sharansky makes a... (posted by Jennifer 3 years 183 days ago.)

13. Polarization Nation: Now Thanksgiving? Boy, am I glad that this election has been decided upon prior to Thanksgiving and not after.

14. What a Wonderful World it Could Be... The night of November 4,2008 was more than I expected. Throughout this election process I had my doubts that this win would be or could be possible. Now I can finally say, after 8 years of oppression, that I am proud to be an American. It could be... (posted by Jennifer 3 years 202 days ago.)

15. Falling for Mirages The age of globalisation has its pros and cons. We are now able to share ideas and engage in instant communication with others across the globe. This open forum has unlimited power to influence our ideologies, and has created an all inclusive... (posted by Jennifer 3 years 210 days ago.)

16. The Greatest American Tragedy I'm ashamed to be an American. I'm ashamed that close to 50% of the people in this country would - when given the opportunity to vote for a man of peace -would vote otherwise. In fact, being ashamed is too kind a word for it. The truth is that I... (posted by Jennifer 3 years 216 days ago.)

17. Politics and the Us vs Them Mentality of Hatred This election year has beheld one of the most divisive campaigns in history.

18. The Bailout Bill Failure Blame Game: Look at the Facts How any Republican in their right mind can blame the Democrats for the failure of the Bailout Bill to pass is beyond comprehension. This bill, which John McCain himself tried to pass, and that even our current President GW Bush supported, was... (posted by Jennifer 3 years 237 days ago.)

19. Prediction: An Uncontested Win for Barack Obama Now that the initial shock of the choices made for the vice presidents on both sides are solidified and behind us, or me rather; new developments in the campaigns have renewed my sense of hope that the democrats will surely win this...

20. Why I Can No Longer Support the Democratic Party I used to be an Obama fan. I used to be a Hillary Clinton supporter.

24. Will the Age of Deregulated Free Market Economy Come to A Close? At the turn of the twentieth century, Capitalism was the only economic model that ruled the world.
