Travelling back in time in an attempt to prevent her death results in him changing other pieces of his reality that he didn’t know could be messed with.

White Youth Pastor Gets Only 3 Years For Sexually Abusing Under Age Girl???

Image
   Jordan Baird was sentenced to a punk ass three years, plus probation, after admitting guilt to two counts of indecent acts with a child by a custodian.   Baird, during the sentencing hearing, said he takes full responsibility for his crimes. He apologized to the victim, her family, his own family and his wife.   “This was my lie. These were my mistakes,” said Baird. “I brought shame on my family and shame on my friendships.”   “Complete responsibility” is overstating it given his light sentence. On the bright side, the victim says the incident made her lose her faith!   Like we see so often, yet another religious leader uses his trust to ruin a young girls life. To make matters worse, she wasn’t the only young woman Baird targeted from the church.   Around 2014, there were other underage girls the he pursued, two of whom spoke at the sentencing hearing.   Last year, this same white youth pastor was convicted for sexually abusing M...

Book of the Day "The God Argument: The Case against Religion and for Humanism"

Image
   What are the arguments for and against religion and religious belief--all of them--right across the range of reasons and motives that people have for being religious, and do they stand up to scrutiny? Can there be a clear, full statement of these arguments that once and for all will show what is at stake in this debate?    Equally important: what is the alternative to religion as a view of the world and a foundation for morality? Is there a worldview and a code of life for thoughtful people--those who wish to live with intellectual integrity, based on reason, evidence, and a desire to do and be good--that does not interfere with people's right to their own beliefs and freedom of expression?    In The Case Against Religion , Anthony Grayling offers a definitive examination of these questions, and an in-depth exploration of the humanist outlook that recommends itself as the ethics of the genuinely reflective person.

Wannabe Terrorist Sets Self on Fire Attempting to Burn Synagogue

Image
 A white supremacist who tried to burn down a synagogue got a face full of flames as he fled the scene. Tristan Morgan was recorded on CCTV splashing fuel through a window before taking the full blast of the explosion in his face. He then calmly walked away from the scene of the anti-semitic attack, patting his singed head, and driving off in a van. The footage was played at the Old Bailey in London where Morgan was given an indefinite hospital order. The incident took place more than a year ago, but the footage was made public during his recent trial. He pleaded guilty to arson and charges relating to terrorism. If he is ever released Morgan will be subject of long-term monitoring by the police and partners. The court was told the far-right extremist with “deep-rooted anti-Semitic beliefs” laughed after he set fire to a historic synagogue. He encouraged terrorism by publishing a song entitled White Man to live-streaming website Soundcloud and having a copy of the Wh...

Strain Of The Day - Northern Lights

Image
Indica Origins: NL5 x NL2 Flowering: 45-50 days Harvest: mid October The Northern Lights (NL) is one of the most potent and famous indica strains . Even though there are a lot of copies circulating around with variations on the name, there are only 3 pure types from the original development of Northern Lights, which Sensi was lucky to acquire. Historically, the NL 1, a longer, more stretchy type with a fresh scent and good bud formulation, was the basis of the NL cross that was sold as Sensi’s Northern Lights. Currently, the NL 5 has taken over the most important role in the cross. Because NL 5 adds potency and reduces flowering time, but is not dominant in taste and smell, it also plays a starring role in the overall breeding plan at the Cannabis Castle. It has functioned as a test case for many crosses. The f1 generation is very predictable, giving uniform results and passing uniformly onto its hybrids it parents. The NL 2 contributes to the overall vigor of the ...
