MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGHS:

Bad Habits -

Varenicline Effective for Smoking Cessation

Varenicline is a non-nicotine drug and is thought to help smokers quit by stimulating the release of the chemical dopamine in the brain.

Cancer -

One person dies of oral cancer every hour in the United States. Only half of those diagnosed with the disease will survive more than five years, but if it's caught early enough, there's about a 90-percent chance of survival. Now you can help stop this disease, and it won't hurt a bit.

Wednesday's article, "The God of Tolerance" by Jack Kinsella, will also be linked to the Daily Update page.
 

 

EXCERPT:
 

 

Since there are so many forms of 'god', there is a popular myth that dictates there are as many ways to God as there are forms of 'god.'

It sounds logical enough, if one prefers a 'god of their own understanding' over an omnipotent God Who understands all.

A 'god of one's own understanding' could just as easily be described as the 'God I Made Up To Suit Me'.
