Then the Sniper turned over the dead body and looked into his brother’s eyes; which is also his enemy. The Sniper didn’t know how to respond, he was inattentive, with his parched mouth opened slightly, his face was as colorless as a ghost, he was as frozen as an ice cube. The sniper blinked a couple of times just to make sure it was real with his full-sized, brown eyes. He still had the urge to blink again, looking at his half-dead brother. A chunk of air cam out of his mouth and started to…

some research and searching. All we had do to was use a needle to extract the soul of a dying person. We decided not to kill a person but to find someone already dying at a hospital. One of the people on the list of almost dead was Laurel Lance. Laurel willingly said that we could extract her soul with the needle while she was dying. In a few minutes, Laurel had slipped into cardiac arrest. We had to extract her soul quickly; I couldn’t find the strength to do it. Sam said,” Hand me the needle,…

started by Lord Brahma; creator of the universe, Vishnu; sustains creation, and Shiva; destroyer of all evil. These three Gods are behind the creation and destruction of the world.

This is completely different from the Biblical Worldview that states that God created everything. Genesis1:1 “in the beginning God created the…

The science can be a reliable source to believe. However, as time passes there will be more technological tools that can be use to experiment the findings and clarify the doubt in the future and it might change the entire result or came up with the new theory. In this point, I am standing on the side…

What does it mean when you hear the term “restorith my soul” used? I guess before we can answer that question, we should ask several other questions first. When you or lost, what would the number one issue of importance be to you? In the worldly sense we can easily become disoriented.

Simmias claims that “we really do suppose the soul to be something of this kind,” that is, a harmony or proper mixture of bodily elements like the hot and cold or dry and moist.

Secular is evident in places/activities such as education, business, arts, sciences, government, hobbies, and entertainment. Sacred is only involved in church-related activities. However, secular/sacred…
