This was written for a "Spiritual Autobiography Assignment". My professor for a course titled: Religion, Media & Culture spent the first two classes mocking atheists and blaming them for the worst mass murders and wars in the world. I did some simple online research and found out he was recently ordained a deacon in the Catholic Church. This is my polite response to him via assignment. Read More »

So... Are You Jewish or Christian?

My first introduction to Messianic Judaism was several years ago while I was still in high school. One of my mom's Baptist friends gave her a Messianic Bible to pass along to me (after she heard I was dating a Jewish guy). She thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. Turns out, it was just a regular Christian Bible, with a little more Hebrew interpretation and whatnot, aimed at Jews. Read More »

I've spent the past few days debating whether or not this topic is appropriate for this website. Obviously, I decided I should post it here, rather than my personal journal. So, with that in mind, I want to put out a disclaimer now. This post is about religion. If you don't believe in religion, fine, whatever. I really don't want to debate it with you. Read More »

Question Everything
By Kiota - Posted on April 3rd, 2008
Here's the thing - I'm not American. I was born in America. I have American citizenship. I'm white and I have very little accent. But despite my appearance, I am definitely not American. I moved to Israel when I was three and spent almost my entire life there. I may seem American, but as far as American society and culture, I'm occasionally clueless. Read More »
