We resolve, we resolve, we resolve
by Rudwaan
It’s the start that stops most of us
resolutions are dropped
as glasses are raised
in a New Year’s toast to us
most mean well

love less needless drama
and give more love to our baby’s mama
We resolve to lose

Invasion Through Conversion
"A striking example of how Christianity destroys a proud culture, by introducing "doubt". The Christian body is imperfect, we are "sinners". These beautiful people learn for the first time, that their behavior is a "sin". A bigger psychological disastrous impact is the fictitious idea of the Christian afterlife, their current world is a place of sin, they are sinners, the "real life" will start in the afterlife. Makes me think what proud people we could be, if we could

Dear Donald Trump:

But just before going on, I was pulled aside by a producer from the show who said that you were "nervous" about being on the set wi
