Churches still stand because they were part of the life of all generations. This Chernobyl church is neglected, but still intact. It has not been used since the time when communists killed the priests and turned their churches into cow-sheds. But it still survives all the madness of the 20 century and will no doubt outlive all signs of this godless epoch. You see, in the long run it may be a fair trade. It's fair, but only on a long run.

Help the Fluvanna county rescue theCHIVE. As y'all know, theCHIVE exists exclusively for a good laugh but every once in a while we have to give pause to things that actually matter - this is one of those moments. I received a letter last week from one of our Chivers, Kenny George. He's part of a volunteer squad in Fluvanna County, Virginia. He wrote: I'm a loyal Chiver contacting you for help. We are one of the last all-volunteer rescue squads in the state of Virginia. We run Thanksgiving and Christmas, give up time with our families, and we're are running out of options. After I read it, I asked Kenny for some more information. Because of the rough economy, local donations have dried up and government funding has been cut.

My Story. A true fanatic. Ah, the life of a pastor’s kid! I grew up in Cambridge, Minnesota – a town of 5,000 people and 22 Christian churches. My father was (and still is) pastor of a small church. My mother volunteered to support Christian missionaries around the world. I went to church, Bible study, and other church functions every week. I prayed often and earnestly. For 12 years I attended a Christian school that taught Bible classes and creation science. I felt the presence of God. Around age 19 I got depressed, probably because I did nothing but work at Wal-Mart, download music, and watch internet porn. I read Dallas Willard’s The Divine Conspiracy, a manual for how to fall in love with God so that following his ways is not a burden, but a natural and painless product of loving God. I moved to Minneapolis for college and was attracted to a Christian group led by Mark van Steenwyk.
The seeds of doubt By this time I had little interest in church structure or petty doctrinal disputes. I tried. 6a0120a721c2d7970b0133f17599dd970b-pi (JPEG Image, 492x452 pixels) Word Clock :: Original. The Religion of The Big Lebowski | Store. The Dudespaper - Lebowski Lifestyle.

Top 10 Myths About Evolution – with Downloadable PDF | Atheism Resource. Email If you have been looking for a simple, easy to follow quick guide to evolution… we’ve got it.
Our friends at the Skeptics Society gave us permission to reprint this. Below is the text. Learn it. Original Text: 1 If Humans Came From Apes, Why Aren’t Apes Evolving Into Humans? Humans, apes, and monkeys are only distant evolutionary “cousins.” 2 There Are Too Many Gaps in the Fossil Record for Evolution to Be True In fact, there are lots of intermediate fossils. 3 If Evolution Happened Gradually Over Millions of Years Why Doesn’t the Fossil Record Show Gradual Change?
Sudden changes in the fossil record are not missing evidence of gradualism; they are extant evidence of punctuation. 4 No One Has Ever Seen Evolution Happen Evolution is a historical science confirmed by the fact that so many independent lines of evidence converge to this single conclusion. 5 Science Claims That Evolution Happens by Random Chance Natural selection is not “random” nor does it operate by “chance.”

School Bullying: A Tragic Cost of Forced Schooling and Autocratic School Governance.
Let's say you are 15 years old, or 13, or 11, and for some reason--a reason over which you have no control--you have been singled out by your schoolmates as an object for scorn and humiliation. Every day at school, for you, is another day in hell. You are called "whore," "bitch," "slut;" or "fag," "pussy," "scum;" or worse. People deliberately bump into you and knock your books out of your hands in the hallway. Nobody sits with you at lunch, or, if they do, those people are harassed until they stop sitting with you. These bullies are not the brutish looking comic-strip bullies, whom nobody likes and who steal other kids' lunch money.
No, these bullies are among the popular kids--the athletes, cheerleaders, preppies. They are popular not just with most of the other kids but also with the teachers, school administrators, and adults in the larger community. The law requires that you attend school, regardless of how you feel about it and how you are treated. What do you do? The Trouble With Bright Girls. Successful women know only too well that in any male-dominated profession, we often find ourselves at a distinct disadvantage. We are routinely underestimated, underutilized, and even underpaid. Studies show that women need to perform at extraordinarily high levels, just to appear moderately competent compared to our male coworkers. But in my experience, smart and talented women rarely realize that one of the toughest hurdles they'll have to overcome to be successful lies within.
We judge our own abilities not only more harshly, but fundamentally differently, than men do. Understanding why we do it is the first step to righting a terrible wrong. And to do that, we need to take a step back in time. Chances are good that if you are a successful professional today, you were a pretty bright fifth grade girl. Why does this happen? How do girls and boys develop these different views? Boys, on the other hand, are a handful.
Death and Dying in the Tibetan Buddhist Tradition. DEATH AND DYING IN THE TIBETAN BUDDHIST TRADITION Compiled by: Ven. Pende Hawter Contemplation and meditation on death and impermanence are regarded as very important in Buddhism for two reasons : (1) it is only by recognising how precious and how short life is that we are most likely to make it meaningful and to live it fully and (2) by understanding the death process and familiarizing ourself with it, we can remove fear at the time of death and ensure a good rebirth.
Because the way in which we live our lives and our state of mind at death directly influence our future lives, it is said that the aim or mark of a spiritual practitioner is to have no fear or regrets at the time of death. People who practice to the best of their abilities will die, it is said, in a state of great bliss. The mediocre practitioner will die happily. Even the initial practitioner will have neither fear nor dread at the time of death. There are two common meditations on death in the Tibetan tradition. 1. 2.
