Parkinson’s Disease first introduced itself to me when I was in the Philippines. My companion and I paid a visit to a married couple from church. I remember walking into the tiny makeshift house, first meeting the healthy, approximately sixty-year-old wife, and then meeting Parkinson’s victim, the husband. His mouth gaped open, [...]
Why do they hate us? Why? WHY?!
I thought I’d start off with a bit of drama. Just to get your attention.
We can find a legitimate answer by taking the emotion out of it and giving it a good analysis. Do they hate us, or do they FEAR us? [...]
Time for another Q&A. TXAtheist asked:
I have been struggling to find a reasonable answer to this question. How do atheists/agnostics get people to not despise us? In Texas I merely tell someone I am an atheist and the stereotypes just start coming. Not always, but it takes the liberal/open-minded person to [...]
