Advent and Christmas

flyingnikolaus-joshunterHave a closer look to what christmas means. It’s not the Coca-Cola-Santa-Claus, whom we owe christmas. It was more something like a small child, that came from outside our imagination into this world with all its disharmony and questions. > more.

Bible says: “Women, keep your mouths SHUT !?”

“Christians are so fond of criticizing Islam’s position towards women, claiming that Christianity offers women freedom, respect, and equality.

> Ist die Bibel Gottes Wort ? ( Is the bible the word of God ?)
