		<description><![CDATA[It is a mistake to equate the rejection of &#8220;God&#8221; with the rejection of a moral code. One has only to read Sartre, Carnus or Dostoevsky to realize that atheists have a deep appreciation for what is right and wrong. Furthermore, the attitude of certain &#8220;institutionalized&#8221; religions toward sex, sexuality and celibacy is as much [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Evil Exists</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why does Evil exist? Why does God allow evil to thrive and exist? The simple answer is He wants us to be worthy of His Love.

		<title>Creation of Evil</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Who created evil? Who created the devil? Christians argue that God created EVERYTHING, that is, is the source of ALL creation.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Cumulus clouds formed heavily in the south like huge woolpacks heaped up in picturesque disorder. Under the influence of the breezes they merged together, growing darker, forming a single menacing mass. The raft lay motionless in the sluggish waveless sea.&#8221; &#8220;And in silence, they waited for the storm &#8230;..&#8221; - from Jules Verne&#8217;s Journey to [...]]]></description>
