If, in a not much distant future, humanity received the unpleasant news that a humongous asteroid is heading toward Earth, promising a collision which would wipe out all intelligent life forms, would that be considered a catastrophe? Most agree that would be the worst tragedy ever. But it would, really? I say it depends. It […]

Last week Pope Francis became news after “endorsing same-sex civil unions” during an interview for a documentary. The pope stated that “they’re children of God and have a right to a family,” and added “nobody should be thrown out or be made miserable because of it.” Despite LGBT community revered the comments and critics praised it […]

I want Wings

When I was a child I was told, like many of us, the biblical story of Adam and Eve that basically explained how God created Eve from the subtracted rib of Adam. Furthermore I was also instructed about the concept of Heaven, that was depicted as a sky high place where everything is beautiful and everybody […]

A few years ago, I returned home from the gym around 1 pm. It was Saturday, I remember. And after the good training session I had, I was tired and hungry—I want to point out that being hungry is one of the things that make me ill-tempered. The fridge was empty, and the idea of […]

Innocence

A purpose. Everything has a purpose. Pleased with the creation, God lied bellow the shadow of a leafy cedar. “Lord, you brought me here to irradiate light to your kingdom, casting away the darkness for who will come after,” said the Sun. “You know my wishes,” said God with deep voice. “You will be the […]

The Hand of God

Religious and atheists believe—consciously or unconsciously—in a higher order, a synchronicity, a universal flow or a will of divine proportions that dictates or influences in a degree the outcome of events in our ordinary lives. My grandmother—a woman of faith—used to say that “A leaf can´t move without the will of God,” and I always […]
