Overview:

As of 2008-JAN-01, this web site contained 4,187 essays and menus.

We recommend the following essays as being among the most important on this site. Many deal with topics that are not covered in schools, churches, the media or religious education courses. Many are covered elsewhere in the Internet, buried under heaps of misinformation and disinformation.

This web site is one of the few locations on the Internet where you can see all viewpoints on each topic. Most religious web sites only explain belief system of the webmaster(s) or the site sponsor.
