Our drones defy international law with indifference on their killing spree all over the world. The oppression of the Palestinians worsens. Whistleblowers are persecuted relentlessly. The murderer of Trayvon Martin goes free. The Cuban five have been wrongfully jailed now for over 14 years! Everywhere you turn, injustice rears its ugly head. Instead of public outrage there is public ap

DO THE MATH, REASON

AND SETTLE ON EVIDENCE AND TRUTH!

 

If you are going to believe in the man-god, JC, and Christianity,

then it is imperative for you to be able to defend your belief and prove it credible!

 

DID JC DIE FOR OUR SINS?

 

Clearly, the Christian concept of JC dying for people’s sins if they will believe in him is proved to be a lie.  Nowhere in GOD’s Book of the Law (Genesis to Deut.) or in HIS WORD to HIS Prophets is anything written suggesting belief and worship in anything or anyone.  A

IS JC GOD?

 

Those who liken the CREATOR GOD to deities of images and idols are fools who follow their own wicked imaginations.  In the Hebrew Scriptures the CREATOR appeared FACE to face only to HIS Servant Moses.  To HIS other prophets, HE appeared in visions and never in similitudes, for had he

Fifty years ago, the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom was held. The march featured prominent activists, organizers, politicians and performers and 200,000-300,000 participants calling for greater civil and economic rights for African Americans. 

3828548994?profile=originalThe March, and the movement that made it happen, called into question the paradox of the United States. The strong moral framework we hold on paper to be true has always had gaps - for People of Color, women, LGBT people, poor people.

PFLEGER: BE AN EAGLE, NOT A TURKEY, CHICKEN OR BUZZARD

‘Don’t Fight the Process’

by Chinta Strausberg

Reminding his congregation that the world is full of many kinds of birds including turkeys, chickens and buzzards, Father Michael L. Pfleger Sunday urged his members to be eagles in the midst of their storms because unlike the other birds that run when faced with hurricanes, eagles fly high above to victory.

Flapping his arms to emulate an eagle, Father Pfleger bellowed, “When the storm comes, buzza

The Egyptian Tragedy?

3828548972?profile=original


Diop taught us there is no African tragedy, only comedy, thus in the end we know all shall be well for the Egyptian masses. At this hour things look bleak in the land of pharaohs. For sure the deposing of the Muslim Brotherhood regime will not bring power to the people but power to elements of the previous regime of pharaoh Mubarak in the form of the US supported military who claims it got rid of the first democratically elected president in Egyptian
