Some have said that, according to Mayan calendar, the 2012 is the year that the world will come to an end.
Although people have been claiming this occurrence for years, even centuries, the events throughout the world in the past years fairly validates this claim, as the escalating incidents around the world might justifiably resemble an apocalypse.
Although like the creatures of habit, people are used to interpret everything literally, I believe Mayans have meant much profound, perhaps much potent implication to this event describing a devastation.
As known to the Mayans, it is a law of nature that after devastations, there comes a renewal, regeneration and rebirth. (more…)
Close your eyes. Then point a finger at a globe. Open them again. What do you see?
Most likely the place you are pointing at is a dictatorship.
There are 193 sovereign United Nations member states in the world. Yet the majority of these states demonstrate limited political and civil freedoms.

Harking back to Armenia in 1915 will only drive modern Turkey into China’s arms
The best thing said about the Armenian tragedy was a sermon delivered in the main church in Constantinople in 1894, more than 20 years before it happened. Patriarch Ashikyan had this to say: “We have lived with the Turks for a thousand years, have greatly flourished, are nowhere in this empire in a majority of the population. If the nationalists go on like this [they had started a terrorist campaign] they will ruin the nation.”
That Patriarch was quite right, and the nationalists shot him (and many other notables who were saying the same thing). (more…)
The existence of God is too evident to need any arguments.
Some saintly scholars have stated that God Himself is more manifest than any other being, but those who lack insight cannot see Him. Others have said that He is concealed from direct perception because of His Self-manifestation’s intensity.

This way of thinking reduces existence to what can be directly perceived and thereby blinds itself to the invisible dimensions of existence, which are far more vast than the visible. Since we must strive to remove the veil drawn by materialism and positivism, we will review briefly some of the traditional demonstrations for God’s necessary existence. (more…)
