The main porpoise is to address and try to answer the most difficult questions about the philosophy and meaning of life, including spirituality, from a very rational and cognitive position. If presented with an honest question I promise not to dodge it no matter how complicated it might look. It's a laud secret that this generation is hungry for moral direction and, even when I don't have all the answers, I do have enough knowledge, love and patience to share my opinion.. Some years ago, like a machine gun, a lot of questions that had been bothering my intellectual hunger started falling....

The separation of church and state, a principle often invoked as a fixed and inviolable pillar of American democracy, is in reality a concept built on dynamic tension and constant reinterpretation. To truly understand this complex boundary, one must begin at its foundation, recognizing that the uniquely American formulation of separation was born from both theological conviction and pragmatic political necessity. For over 150 years, the meaning of this wall remained largely a matter of state interpretation, but that changed after World War II. Here I perform a journey throught the legal and practical consequences of misinterpretation of such a delicate mater.

The relationship between the Church and politics has long been a subject of debate. Some argue that the Church should remain separate from political life, focusing solely on spiritual matters. Yet history, Scripture, and theology suggest otherwise. The Church is not merely a private spiritual fellowship but a public witness to God’s justice and truth. If Jesus Himself confronted the political and religious institutions of His time—most notably the Sanhedrin, which functioned as both a spiritual and political authority—then the Church, as His body, inherits not only the right but the obligation to engage actively in the political sphere.

This essay is born from a deep pastoral and apologetic conviction: that the authority of God's Word isn't just a doctrinal principle, but the vital axis that sustains the church's identity, mission, and unity. As a scholar committed to theological formation and the edification of leaders in my community, I've observed that the most persistent attacks against the evangelical faith don't come from secular skepticism, but from within the church itself—from erroneous interpretations, diluted doctrines, and a growing disconnect between Scripture and life.

Are we all bound by a common moral code, or is right and wrong simply a matter of cultural perspective? Our comprehensive essay delves into the age-old debate between universalism and relativism. It explores the philosophical, empirical, and practical arguments for a universal ethic—from Kant's rationalism to recent cross-cultural scientific studies—and dissects the most significant objections to the idea. We also reveal how the concept of universal morality, particularly through Natural Law, profoundly influenced the founding principles of the United States. Read the full essay to explore the foundations of a shared humanity and the enduring questions that define our moral landscape.

The Christian tradition has long grappled with the profound mystery of divine unity and the true identity of Jesus Christ. In this essay, I offer a response to that enduring theological conversation—one rooted in the conviction that the entire biblical narrative, from Genesis to Revelation, tells the story of a single, sovereign God: Jehovah. From this perspective, Jesus is not a distinct person apart from Jehovah, but rather the incarnation of that one God, who entered human history to accomplish salvation. This view diverges from popular interpretations, including the "Jesus Only" framework, which I believe falls short by shifting the Bible’s central focus from Jehovah Himself to His earthly manifestation. What follows is a biblically grounded and logically coherent defense of this position, exploring how it addresses key doctrinal questions and sets itself apart from other major Christian theological traditions.

The discourse behind the approach to immigration law enforcement by this generation of politicians is easily refutable by the facts. When confronted with the empirical proof it just can't hold terrain. This essay was born by the obvious missinformation that most of the country has based their position on. It is not a secret that a big part of the population arrives to a conclusion without investing the appropriate time to get informed. That's why I placed a lot of effort to make the information accesible with the less time investment needed. If one reader decides to take the time to read the whole essay my job would be done.

This essay provides a comprehensive analysis of the demographic and contextual profile of mass shooters in the United States. The central thesis is that the profile of a mass shooter is not a singular demographic type but rather a complex, multi-factorial "syndrome" rooted in the convergence of demographic, psychological, behavioral, and societal factors. The analysis moves beyond superficial media portrayals to reveal a more nuanced and evidence-based understanding of these individuals. It emphasizes that while certain demographic characteristics are prevalent, they are not causal and only become meaningful when viewed in conjunction with a series of shared, non-demographic risk factors. The investigation highlights the critical roles of premeditation, suicidal ideation, and the presence of observable pre-attack warning signs, transforming the understanding of these events from random acts of violence to often preventable catastrophes.

Beyond the tragic overdose statistics lies a deeper crisis: the public's negative perception of drug rehabilitation. This misconception, fueled by a misunderstanding of relapse, skepticism towards effective treatments like methadone, and harmful media portrayals, creates a powerful barrier to recovery. Uncover the multifaceted reasons behind this stigma and discover how a shift in public understanding can pave the way for a more compassionate and effective approach to the substance abuse crisis.

Beyond a simple metaphor of exclusion, the "wall of separation" can be reinterpreted as a protective assumption that safeguards religious freedom and enables the robust participation of faith communities in public life. This perspective argues that the principle's primary purpose is not to limit the church but to shield it from government interference and potential corruption. By preventing the state from sponsoring an official religion or giving preference to certain denominations, the "wall" ensures that spiritual decisions remain free from political influence. This protective fence, rather than being an obstacle to faith, is a constitutional bulwark that preserves religious autonomy and fosters a vibrant, pluralistic society where diverse faiths can thrive without fear of government coercion or control.

The concept of the separation of church and state is a cornerstone of American democracy, yet it is not explicitly stated in the Constitution. Instead, it is an interpretation derived from a single letter penned by Thomas Jefferson in 1802. In this essay, we delve into Jefferson’s original intent for this "wall of separation" and challenge the common misinterpretation that seeks to exclude religious influence from public life. We argue that the wall was a protective measure, a safeguard for religious freedom, and that the church has a vital obligation to participate in public discourse and social change.
