		<description><![CDATA[Fall is a delicious, aromatic time of year. I love walking outside and drinking in the earthy combinations—the smell of moist, crunchy leaves under my feet, ripe apples wafting through the air, and wood smoke as my neighbors start up their cozy fireplaces for the winter.

		<description><![CDATA[In discussing my biblical views with some Christians—especially the one about God saving all—I’m always a little surprised how tightly they cling to every jot and tittle they’ve been taught in church (many of them not even biblical), as if their church (or they themselves) can’t be wrong about anything. Even when you suggest a way of interpreting Scripture that makes a heck of a lot more sense, people don’t want to believe that there is any chance they are wrong, so they don’t even listen to valid or reasonable points I might bring up.

		<description><![CDATA[This past January, a national revolution took place in literal Egypt. It was spearheaded and organized via a few young people and a Facebook account. Imagine a corrupt ruler overthrown and a whole country changed in a couple of weeks, all from information sharing on the Internet!
