۞ ∞ United For Evolution ∞ ۞
As you proceed along the ascension path your life's possibilities shift and new portals of potential open for your consideration. Knowing your path in these times is difficult because it appears to be changing constantly although what you choose becomes the next step on your path. The final outcome is always your choice. As your energies shift options you did not imagine were possible for you become available. And lifelong dreams, things you have worked towards believing that they were part of your path, suddenly come to an end.
What you are learning is that as light workers who are transitioning to light beacons you have an option to follow the corded path of destiny and karma or the path of light, which is an endless flow of energy that expands outward with each step you take. Your path of healing can transition into the path of wholeness and congruence when you choose which path you will follow, the one that is not of doing but of being and you must, at some point, choose whether you will walk the corded path or the light path.
The corded path is one of destiny, karma and healing. This path does not change from lifetime to lifetime as you have a singular purpose, to heal and reconnect to your divinity and Source. It is the path you have followed from the beginning of time as you know it in the realms of polarity. It is familiar and predictable. You follow this path to heal, learn and transform and it leads you to ascension. In it you are bound to your soul group by the cords of karma, by your belief in your own separation, failure, and fear. It is a heavy path that ends when you step onto the path of light, which is a new paradigm for you and for humanity.
The path of Light is constantly changing and shifting. Each new level of awareness you achieve, each moment of self forgiveness that leads to a new, loving option for acknowledging your divinity brings you to new levels of the light path. The path of light provides you with new opportunities and possibilities once you are free from the density, karma, and fear of the corded path.
Each cord you release creates a new step on the path of light, that presents you with new options for your consideration. Every choice leads to a limitless abundance of potentials for your reality. Your willingness to be open to your limitless potential creates abundance in all things. Light creates more light in an endless flow of creation. This is your path of light.
It is the nature of the ego to want the stability and familiar certainty of the corded path, knowing what will happen next and staying grounded in the fear and pain of its wounds. The belief you must heal others, that you cannot be free and forgiven, that you are bound forever by the cords of your karmic path, prevents you from accessing the joyful freedom of the light path. But it is, like the corded path, a choice you can make at any point on your journey.
Now, at this moment in the individual and collective ascension path, you are being called to follow a different path, one that transcends fear and pain and releases you from the limitations of your karma. Following the path of light creates heaven on earth for you, where you manifest with intention and faith, aligning with your own truth, and allowing unconditional love and awareness to be your guiding light and reconnecting to your divine Source. Be true to this path, it is the one your light emanated from and is now returning to. It lights your way home, to the place in which you know your truth, unconditional love, peace and boundless joy.
And it is the light your soul seeks as its home, which is the integration of human and divine, the wholeness that allows for clear, congruent creation of the joyful, abundant life that is your birthright. It is all available to you in the path of light if you choose it.

If you are a fan of Parenthood, and haven't watched October 11th's episode (I haven't caught up to this week's yet), you may want to skip this if you don't want to deal with a little spoiler. Or not. It may not make a difference to you.
See, Crosby, the younger, hip brother, and Adam, the more uptight, responsible brother (played by Peter Krause, who I LOVED in Six Feet Under) are starting a music studio. Crosby tells Adam he really needs to loosen up when he meets with their potential client, a rapper named Mistah Ray.
Cut to Adam, looking more ridiculous than Jamie Kennedy in Malibu's Most Wanted, walking down the street after getting talked into some "fly" clothes, just like Crosby suggested. He catches a glimpse of his image in the car window and panics. He's on his way to meet the rapper/potential client, but he realizes he looks like nothing like himself. He grabs a lifeline and calls Crosby, who is closer to his house, and asks him to stop and grab him some more appropriate clothes. The somewhat flighty plan is that Adam will change in front of the rapper's house.
That's all we need to start the next chain of events. Crosby ends up to driving his sister-in-law, Kristina, to the hospital, since her water conveniently broke while the two of them were having an argument about the music studio business. And while Adam is stumbling over his words in a meeting with Mistah Ray, Crosby is holding Kristina's hand as she delivers a baby girl. Of course Adam arrives within moments, and it's a sweet emotional time, eventually wrapping up with the whole family meeting the new arrival.
So, yes, it was a touching episode, but like the princess on top of the dozens of pillow soft mattresses, a little pea was rubbing me the wrong way: Did Adam show up at the store naked? Why couldn't he just change back into the clothes he surely had on his back when he left home that morning?
Granted, I found the premise a tad unbelievable. But it didn't necessarily take away from the enjoyment of the story as a whole. After all, seeing Adam in the costume, trying to be the man who would wear the outfit, was funny. The episode was pretty heavy, so it needed a few laughs. Watching Adam hurry down the hospital hallway, pulling his pants up before he meets his baby daughter for the first time was cute, and you know that, for the Braverman family it will be a story told over and over again.
What does this have to do with writing, besides my—ahem—STUDYING storylines instead of creating my own? A few things:
- · Suspension of Disbelief is part of storytelling… Writers create worlds where vampires sparkle, romances are happily ever after—every time (if they don't, it's not a romance), the zombie apocalypse is a viable threat, and master detectives stumble upon the perfect clues. As writers, this is the thrill of perceptible imagination: on paper, we get to separate from our realities and control our fictional new world with rules of our own. Readers, too, get to escape into the words. So what if we can't hop into a wormhole and travel to the other side of the galaxy in time for dinner in real life? Our minds can, once we are immersed enough in the story.
- · …But still be believable. Even in the world of make-believe, you have to make sure what happens in your stories makes some kind of sense. It's the writer's job to create the story in such a way that a reader will find themselves believing. If you are writing an historical novel, your setting and characters have to live in that time. There may be some turns of phrases that weren't spoken in the 18th century that you could get away with, but of course a character searching for answers couldn't "google it." That's extreme, but you see my point. Your writer's group or editors will usually find less obvious inconsistencies.
Adam's trip into hip-hop fashion may not have been totally believable, but it was a useful tool for humor, for advancing the story line between Crosby and Kristina (and for allowing Crosby to witness a baby's birth, since he missed his own son's), and for showing Adam's willingness to take risks to grow the studio business.
How do you balance the unbelievable with the unfathomable in your own stories?

In a Study of more than 5,000 people, researchers have found that greater Nuts consumption is associated with lower levels of biomarkers of inflammation, a finding that may help explain the health benefits of nuts.
Five or more servings of nuts per week or substituting nuts for animal proteins tied to a healthy profile of inflammatory biomarkers, the findings showed.
"Population studies have consistently supported a protective role of nuts against cardiometabolic disorders such as cardiovascular disease and Type-2 diabetes, and we know that inflammation is a key process in the development of these diseases," said corresponding author Ying Bao from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts.
"Our new work suggests that nuts may exert their beneficial effects in part by reducing systemic inflammation," Bao noted.
ALSO READ: Walnuts, Soybean May Prevent Risk For Diabetes
Previously Bao and her colleagues observed an association between increased nut consumption and reduced risk of major chronic diseases and even death, but few prospective cohort studies had examined the link between nut intake and inflammation.
In the current study, the research team performed a cross-sectional analysis of data from the Nurses' Health Study, which includes more than 120,000 female registered nurses, and from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, which includes more than 50,000 male health professionals.
The team assessed diet using questionnaires and looked at the levels of certain telltale proteins known as biomarkers in blood samples collected from the study participants.
They measured three well established biomarkers of inflammation — C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 6 (IL6) and tumour necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFR2).
After adjusting for age, medical history, lifestyle and other variables, they found that participants who had consumed five or more servings of nuts per week had lower levels of C-reactive protein and interleukin 6 than those who never or almost never ate nuts.
In addition, people who substituted three servings per week of nuts in place of red meat, processed meat, eggs or refined grains had significantly lower levels of biomarkers of inflammation, showed the study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Peanuts and tree nuts contain a number of healthful components including magnesium, fibre, L-arginine, antioxidants and unsaturated fatty acids such as ?-linolenic acid.

Round 5: Final statements, rebuttals, and conclusion.
Questions will be answered in the comments. Burden of proof will be shared.
I start off this debate by arguing against the Christian faith and its respective justifications, beliefs, and truthfulness, including the existence of God.
I argue that Christianity is not the truth, as goes the case for all religions. Christianity itself is a delusion, and presents many truth claims that cannot be logically or rationally defended by any evidence available. I contend that there is no foundation for the existence of God, for the truthfulness of the events in the Bible, and for the truthfulness of events asserted by the Bible.
In regards to the Bible, the events it depicts and of which Christians take as truth, there is simply no historical, archaelogical, or rational basis for such claims, especially ones undertaken by a singular, unverified book written thousands of years ago in a period of unstability and great superstition, where nobody and the faintest clue what was going on, where people turned to religion and superstition as comfort and as an attempt to satisfy the insatiable demand for knowledge. Furthermore, Christians often employ circular reasonings and arguments in asserting the truth of the Bible, as well as in attempting to explain away valid arguments presented to them. I conclude that the Bible, while still worth a read, is intelligibly just a work of fiction.
Assuming that my opponent is Christian, we would both agree that, on every page except for page 341 in the Encyclopedia of Gods, which contains over 2,500 deities, all of the deities mentioned are non-existent. However, on page 341 alone, we would not concur. My opponent, once again assuming that they are Christian, would likely vehemently disagree with me and insist emphatically the deity is real.
Here I leave you with a quote from Epicurus:
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"
I argue that Christianity is mostly false and partly true. That is, the Christian religion is mostly based on unjustifiable claims and assumptions. However, I do view King Jesus ("Christ" means "God's anointed king") as alive today, as he was 2000 years ago according to modern historical scholarship. For this reason, I classify as a Christian. However, most of Christianity is made up, including many interpretations of the different Scriptures in the Bible.
I demonstrate in this debate that Jesus is God's anointed King, and that this is not only factual but is also exciting. I will also argue that the collated texts of the Bible, if not altogether true, are the most amazing story ever told, and that those who (a) wrote the New Testament, and (b) collated the New Testament with the Old, must be very intelligent and sophisticated people.
Let me begin my argument with a long and arduous story. In the beginning, there was nothing. Then the LORD God created light. Then there was chaos in the universe. But God created order, and shaped all of the stellar and planetary bodies accordingly.
He raised up fish to swim in the depths of an often cold and unforgiving ocean. He made birds to fly free in the air about the ocean, free from its reach and yet swooping down to catch these fish, to get their wings wet.
He created man, and put him in a deep sleep, and from his side was birthed a woman, his sexual partner. He placed them in a garden. And he gave them to eat of all of the trees of the garden, of which one was the Tree of Life, and one was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Man did not eat from the Tree of Life, but rather he made himself subject to a creeping thing (the snake) and ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which God had said would kill him. He sought autonomy. And Adam died that day.
So God killed animals and made coats as a covering for Adam and his wife. He then placed an angel of holiness at the gate of the garden, with a flaming sword, such that the angel's holiness, its stark "otherness" prevented them from eating of the Tree of Life and partaking of the divine nature. Adam was dead, not in the sense of being in a grave, but like a branch: cut off from the tree of God's blessings.
Adam and Eve had a son, whose name was Abel. They had another son, whose name was Cain. Abel tended to flocks and herds, which Cain grew crops from the ground, which God had claimed to curse. Abel sacrificed of the flock to the LORD, and the LORD was pleased. But the LORD had no regard for Cain and his sacrifice. So Cain became angry with Abel, because Abel was righteous, and yet Cain was unrighteous. Cain murdered Abel.
Fast forward and we get to Noah. Noah was a regular fellow, but out of faith in God he made an ark to save his family from the flood which God was going to send on the earth, for God saw the violence and sin that is done on the earth, and judged humankind. And the water rose, but the ark held. When the waters receded, they were safe, and Noah sent out a dove to look for signs of life on the earth.
Fast forward to Abraham. The LORD said "Abraham, your offspring [singular] will bless all the nations on earth." Abraham was even prepared to sacrifice his one and only son. He made him carry the wood up a hill, not far from Jerusalem, and raised a knife to slaughter him, but thankfully God provided a sacrifice: a ram, caught in the thorns. There was a great exchange.
Fast forward to Joseph. Joseph was almost killed, and then sold into slavery, by his brothers. His brothers were jealous because their Father, Jacob, loved Joseph more than all of the them. Furthermore, Joseph exalted himself as if he were a king. Joseph eventually found himself in prison, where God brought him out and he eventually became the ruler of Egypt, wielding the full power of Pharaoh. He then stored lots of grain so as to "save many lives" when a time of harsh famine would come. He said to his brothers when they were reconciled, "You meant to harm me, but God meant it for good, to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."
Fast forward to Moses. The Israelites didn't understand that Moses was trying to free them from Egypt, so they didn't listen and they sent him into exile. When he returned, he led them over the Dead Sea by parting the water. The Israelites passed through, but the Egyptians were crushed when they attempted.
When they were in the desert, Moses struck a rock and water poured out. When he tried to strike it a second time, God judged him.
Also when they were in the desert, the people sinned, so God sent venomous snakes (hint hint) to bite them. So Moses made a bronze snake and put it on a pole. Whoever looked at the snake was healed.
Major fast forward to David. Having suffered "death", as he refers to it in his famous songs, David later became God's anointed King, the "Christ" of the Old Testament.
Fast forward to the prophets, and we have God very angry at his people, and willing to inflict wrath on them: to make them drink hell. There are whispers about a "suffering saviour".
I'll cut the story short there as I'm about to go grab a beer and chill the flip out. My point is this: all of these stories taken from the Old Covenant scriptures are from the Jewish religion. However, they are all pictures of Jesus for when he would come. Adam, Abel, Noah, etc. are all pictures of a future Jesus.
When Jesus came, he worked as a blue collar worker for 30 years. He liked to party, evidenced by his judgemental religious critics calling him "a glutton and a drunk". But he began a healing ministry and claimed that, in himself, God's Kingdom was made manifest to the world.
And he drank the wrath of God. When the Romans crucified Jesus for claiming to be God's King, Jesus suffered hell for us. All of the sin that we have done: God punished him instead of us. Which means that we are forgiven and free. We don't have to do anything to gain this reward, according to the Bible. It is a free gift.
Which means, Jesus gives us eternal life and the the forgiveness of all of our sins. Which means, that judgemental religious people are all wrong. Jesus called himself "the resurrection and the life" and promised to raise everyone on earth physically from the dead. He is God's King.
Through the Kingdom of God, God's ruling presence is currently breaking out on earth, as Jesus manifests himself through every person who truly believes in him: that is, they trust in his sacrifice and resurrection to save us. For example, my best friend and I both believe in Jesus and his Kingdom, and have instantly healed people who are sick. Just last Sunday (anecdotal evidence, I know, but anecdotal is how humans live), he interrupted a rigid church service to present Jesus to the congregation. He announced that someone's left knee was injured, asked who it was, and said that he wanted Jesus to heal it through him. Turns out the guy was sitting right next to him, so when he sat down the guy said "it's me" and was healed.
Now I understand that I haven't presented any empirical evidence to support Christianity or any scientific studies, or anything of that matter, or historical manuscripts, etc. But I did summarise my main argument, which I will phrase as a question: "If all of the spiritual claims in Christianity are false, why is Jesus on every page of the Old Testament?" I presented a handful of mix and match stories, but literally every page of the OT has images of Jesus.
My opponent may argue that I believe these things because of wishful thinking. However, my studies of the Bible and different historical contexts do convince me that Jesus is the Christ.
Let me encourage you to study the Bible deeply and with historical background. At the very least, if you treat the texts as seamlessly integrated, you will consider it to be a beautiful story, and the Jesus that is portrays as himself amazing.
However, be aware that if you don't believe in Jesus, I still support you, alongside all other Christians who critically believe what the Bible says. You are infinitely valuable to us and worthy of complete respect. And I'm more than willing to pray for whatever my opponent wishes. All of my prayers have been answered in the past, and the ones that haven't been are prayers for the future.
If my opponent responds in the negative, I will critically analyse his/her arguments according to their logical merit, acknowledge good arguments, and explain why I think parts of the Christian religion are true. Or, if he/she convinces me otherwise, then I will instead turn to explain why they are right.
I thank my opponent for accepting my challenge.
In the following paragraphs, I have broken some into chunks to make it more convenient to read, instead of putting points, arguments, and evidence into an extensive, but long, paragraph.
Many of my arguments I will mention in the refutation of my opponents arguments, and some I may also briefly describe. All of my assertions will be fully addressed and elaborated in my definite argument in Round 3. However, if you wish, you may ask for more evidence or elaboration in the comments, which I will happily oblige to.
As my rebuttal, I will individually address your arguments, refuting them with the provision of counter evidence, and then providing some counterarguments of my own.
In your first point, you concur with my argument that the Bible is indeed untrue. You admit that "the Christian religion is mostly based on unjustifiable claims and assumptions" and that most of it is fiction. However, you go on to argue that Jesus is, according to your interpretation, God's anointed king, and then proceed to use the Bible as your source of proof. If I may, I would like to point out the incredibly contradictory fashion of which you are employing to state and support your argument. To begin with, you admit a source to be unreliable, fiction, and likely to be false, in your words, "most of Christianity is made up", then completely change your tack and use the very same work of literature, of which you had just said to be made-up, to support your new theses. I believe I am completely justified and correct in saying that one cannot use a reference to substantiate a claim when the material used for authentication has already been discredited, in this case, by the very same individual, no less. Thus, on this subject, I conclude that your first argument is invalid and unsound until further evidence is provided to validate your assertion.
In reference to your second thesis, which states that "the collated texts of the Bible, if not altogether true, are the most amazing story ever told, and that those who (a) wrote the New Testament, and (b) collated the New Testament with the Old, must be very intelligent and sophisticated people," I would like to draw your attention to a particular part of that quote, in which you say, "...if not altogether true, are the most amazing story ever told..." The first part of that statement, I am confident to say, is not an argument. It does not address my challenge in which I question the authenticity of the Bible, and instead, simply states that it is an amazing story. In fact, I am rather inclined to agree with you, as the Bible is indeed an amazing story, although, as with other books, opinions are, of course, subjective. Nonetheless, you make a statement that is irrelevant to the topic at hand and thus is an invalid argument in corroborating your position, which, as I feel the impulse to remind you, is to defend and support the Christian faith in the regards of the Bible, beliefs, and the existence of god, or a god. It regretfully pains me to inform that, so far, you have not done a very convincing job.
Addressing the second part of your second statement, in which you say, "...those who (a) wrote the New Testament, and (b) collated the New Testament with the Old, must be very intelligent and sophisticated people." I disagree with your statement. It makes a huge assumption that cannot be rightly justified, as neither you or anyone in your immediate circle of acquaintances, friends, and family were alive during the time in which the Bible was written, and thus cannot claim that the people at that time were intelligent and sophisticated. However, you attempt to do just that by supporting it, and correct me if I am wrong, with the content of a work of literature that you freely admit is mostly made up and false. Moreover, you are using a source from a poor medium, the past, and composed in a poor era, the ancient superstitious past, in a time of great instability, where religion and superstition were the only place to turn for comfort and, in a way, satisfying the human thirst for knowledge, by humans. Fallible, imperfect humans wrote the Bible. Fallible, imperfect human beings collated the many texts of the Bible, which is supposedly the infallible word of god. (It is not the infallible word of god, but we'll get to that later.) Of course, one may argue that these authors were guided by god, thus it is god's word and would be consistent and unchanged. However, this is not so. The Bible contains many internal inconsistencies, scientific inconsistencies, and stylistic differences among its authors. (I will discuss this more extensively in my actual argument. This is but the rebuttal.) How can that be so, if they were all guided by god? (This is all under the assumption he exists, for the sake of argument.) Does god have 40+ different writing styles? Furthermore, the Bible, which is supposedly god's word and an accurate historical account, contains many literary devices and techniques used by writers of fiction. Why would a historical account need to use literary techniques employed in fictional writing?
(paragraph above continued)
Despite this, many, if not all, Christians construct and justify their beliefs, actions, and the existence of god, among other things, on that very same book, often utilizing circular arguments to vindicate such convictions. For example, when asked the question, "How do you know the Bible is the word of god?", various Christians will reply, "Because it says so in the Bible." Does one not see the circular reasoning employed here? Christians are essentially saying, "The Bible is the word of God because it says so...in the Bible..." This can be related to, for the sake of comparison, a Nigerian prince offering a lucrative business proposition via email in exchange for a mere $50,000 investment. You are, of course, reasonably skeptical, but at the end of the message, he assures you of his authenticity by saying something along the lines of, "You can trust me, the Nigerian prince, and my message, as this email, its content, and any subsequent communications are from me, and I can wholly assure you that it is legitimate." Obviously, you are relieved and now know for sure that it is legitimate and not a scam, because it says so in the email, right? Of course not. It is ridiculous to even consider the option, yet it is exactly what numerous Christians do. They wholeheartedly believe that the the Bible is the word of god, simply because it says so in the Bible.
Additionally, I have doubts about your anecdotal evidence, as it is scientifically and physically impossible to instantaneously heal someone or something. Before I refute your narrative, I apologize in advance for some assumptions I am about to take. I assume, first of all, that the person whose knee was injured was an effect of the inflammatory response. It is impossible for his knee to have healed in an instant, as the immune system does not act that fast. Furthermore, it is impossible for the chemical mediators that caused the inflammation, such as histamine, to dissipate and disperse as quickly as you have claimed, as well as the synovial fluid in the knee joint. (I have studied anatomy and physiology of the human body extensively, especially the immune system)
In your next statement, you say, "Now I understand that I haven't presented any empirical evidence to support Christianity or any scientific studies, or anything of that matter, or historical manuscripts, etc. But I did summarise my main argument, which I will phrase as a question: "If all of the spiritual claims in Christianity are false, why is Jesus on every page of the Old Testament?" I presented a handful of mix and match stories, but literally every page of the OT has images of Jesus." Unfortunately, that was the objective to this debate, to present evidence in support of your argument. It does not matter that you have summarized your main argument if you have nothing to substantiate it. Furthermore, it is only through your interpretation of the Bible that you claim there is an image of Jesus in the Old Testament. Assuming, for a moment, that the Bible is the infallible word of god, which, as I have already mentioned, it is not, and of which I will further elaborate in a later period of time, you, a fallible, imperfect human, have attempted to interpret it. How can I, how can anyone, know that the characters in the Old Testament are indeed images of Jesus without it explicitly saying so? We cannot. We can only resort to what you have done, interpretation. However, by doing that, you have added your own meaning to the Bible, which again, for the sake of argument, is supposedly god's word, and thus, you have applied your own, fallible, imperfect understanding to the allegedly perfect, infallible word of god. Thus, your question cannot be answered as it assumes certain pieces of information and is founded on the basis of your interpretations.
If you feel as I have not adequately or addressed any points at all, don't hesitate to say so in the comments, and I will hasten to sufficiently elaborate.
A latte extra :) - The story about Noah's ark is very, very, very improbable. The Wyoming, one of the largest wooden ships ever, built by a team of skilled shipwrights, manned by 14 crewmen, twisted apart in heavy seas. However, Noah's ark, built by him and his unskilled family, large enough and long enough to contain a multitude of passengers, (longer than the Wyoming) and were able to maintain and feed all the passengers, including themselves, and not only that, but to also land it safely on top of a mountain from a supposedly worldwide flood. The chances of that are astronomical, which is to say, almost impossible.
While it is true that most of Christianity is false, that does not mean that most of the Bible is false. Most of modern Christianity contains beliefs that contradict the Scriptures. For example, in the Bible, Jesus said to his disciples, "Call no man father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven" (Matt. 23:9 ESV). And yet, in the Catholic Church, worshippers frequently refer to the priests as "father". So you can see that either Christianity as a religion is partly false, or the Bible is partly false. Christianity and the Bible are sometimes at odds with each other.
As another example, the Bible teaches that God unleashed his wrath on his royal Son, the Lord Jesus, when Jesus absorbed all the sins of the world. This means that we are free from sin and get forgiveness from God. It also teaches that Jesus is physically alive today, and reigns as King in heaven, from which he will come to judge the living and the dead.
However, most of Christianity teaches that you need to do lots of good deeds to please God, and to ask "holy people" in confession boxes to forgive your sins. Christianity is teaching what the Bible goes out of it's way to "un-teach".
So when I say that Christianity is mostly false, I do NOT concede that the Bible is also false! Nor do I believe that the Bible is "the infallible Word of God", as my opponent may have assumed. I think that JESUS is the Word of God, and the Bible is just one expression of him. Other signposts include myself, other believers, miracles that we perform, etc.
On to the existence of God. Well, there is only one way that we can clearly grasp God, and that is through Jesus. Read the New Testament and you will find that Jesus claimed that "no one comes to the Father except through me."
There are certain proofs of a general god existing. For example, many physicists believe in a general god because of (a) the teleological argument, and (b) the results of the delayed-reponse quantum eraser experiment, amidst other experiments that prove that reality is not objective. About the physicists who accept these experiments as reliable, but do not accept their logical implications for the non-objectivity of existence, physicist Paul Davies says that their views are due to "metaphysical prejudice."
Michio Kaku, for example, a theoretical physicist who has debated on the side of Richard Dawkins and other New Atheists, claimed to believe in a general god, like Albert Einstein did, though this god is not personal.
But I would say that Jesus is most certainly God. Having studied the Bible in intense detail, there are thousands upon thousands of links between Old Testament and Old, New Testament and New, and NT and OT. These links can scarcely be explained by the authors working together to craft a big hoax: the geographical and chronoological distribution between the authorship of the texts is enormous.
Let me encourage anyone reading this not just to zoom through the Bible once. I did that when I first read it, and I made the mistake of interpreting it in the light of today's culture. It is an incredibly rich collection of books, with unified messages. For example, just this afternoon after self-defense practice, I was speaking with my sparring partner about how Jesus said to the Pharisees (judgemental religious hypocrites in the first-century) "I send you prophets and teachers, some of whom you will flog and kill and put out of your synagogues."
And then I went off on a tangent about a guy that Jesus healed in a DIFFERENT Bible text, who Jesus then sent to the Pharisees, and was able to teach these priestly men amazing things, even though he had no knowledge of God except: Jesus had healed him. Now this was a poor man, and a "sinner". And yet Jesus flipped things upside down: "sinners" teaching the self-righteous. So the Pharisees cast the man out of their synagogue. This particular episode happened exactly as a DIFFERENT author wrote in a DIFFERENT time in a DIFFERENT place, according to modern historical scholarship. There are thousands of links like this in the Bible.
Atheists and agnostics are smart, usually a lot smarter than Christians (IQ statistics), but the difference is that some Christians have access to far more information than atheists/agnostics do, through our painstaking studies of the Scriptures and of spiritual things. For this reason, among others, I do believe that we are right about what we claim.
So far I have argued (1) Christianity is mostly false, but (2) the Bible is a way of expressing Jesus, the Word, on paper, (3) God exists because Jesus is God, and (4) Jesus is God because of the confounding number of complex links in the Scriptures, amidst other proofs.
I will list my following rebuttals (A), (B), (C), etc.
(A) The Bible may or may not have internal inconsistencies. After all, it has been SLIGHTLY changed over thousands of years. I haven't found any inconsistencies, except perhaps in the height of Goliath of Gath. One book says one height, and I think that another book says another. That really doesn't bother me: it's not important. Especially since people in the ancient world used numbers instead of adjectives, sometimes. For example, 40 days can mean "a time of testing/proving" rather than "40 days". You have to understand their culture. They care more about the meaning and purpose rather than the raw facts.
(B) There are scientific inconsistencies in the Bible. For example, we all know that rods do not transform into snakes. However, if a god existed, I don't see why it couldn't transform a rod into a snake. Physicists who subscribe to the multiverse theory think that physical laws and/or constants are probably different in other universes to ours. If a god created those universes, as many physicists believe, that means that the god transcends physics, and thus can affect physics, maybe without constraint.
(C) There are stylistic differences in the Bible. This is because, as my opponent rightly says, men wrote the texts. Perhaps women too, we don't know. God didn't write the Scripture. He "breathed" it. When God's Spirit acts upon a person, the Spirit does not erase all of their social habits. He uses that person whom he loves: their culture, their imperfect skills and their passions. Jesus doesn't want us to lose our humanity: he kept his own. Jesus, I assure you, will eternally remain a middle-eastern male who likes to drink wine.
(D) Jesus uses literary techniques to reach our passions and understandings. Everyone's different, and he uses a variety of images to present himself to (a) his first-century audience, and (b) his universal audience. I like scientific papers, but I only like them because they uncover and analyse data and facts so that we can gain knowledge. If you really want to touch human passions (we have tribal origins, and also primative ape-like physical ancestors), tell them a story. Use literary techniques.
God uses every medium possible to make sure that everyone knows about the free, unearned gift of eternal life, which we receive automatically, rather than by doing.
(E) My opponent is right in arguing that Christians often use circular arguments to prove the Bible's validity. "The Bible is true because it says it's true." I could say, "My testimony in court was true because it said it's true." The jury won't buy that one. Yes, circular reasoning does NOT prove the Bible to be true.
In fact, even if you heal someone and a whole bunch of crazy stuff happens, that still doesn't prove the Bible. It could be "Psychogod" pulling the strings from his pearly palace in the 67th paradigm. There is no way to prove that the Bible is true, because some crazy trickster god could have done all these things. However, I BELIEVE that the Bible is true because it seems to currently be the most appropriate option.
(F) Science does not disprove miracles. The word "science" is like a concrete wall that some people yank up to shield themselves. I, for example, tend to yell "science" whenever my family disregards, say, global warming or the wonders of Soylent. However, this is how science works:
If A, then probably B.
Therefore, probably B.
This is called "inductive reasoning". The scientific method makes lavish use of induction. It does not conclude "certainly B", but "most probably B". If say, you get result "C" instead, then you cannot say "Hold on, B is what should probably have happened, therefore C cannot happen." Because the truth is, sometimes in life things happen which are very improbable. You cannot conclude that something cannot happen simply because it has never been often seen before.
If my opponent performed a miracle him/herself, I very much doubt that they would truly believe, for any significant length of time, that they were hallucinating, or that the person's massive swollen arm just "popped" back to normal in the space of five seconds, naturally. They would believe it was a work of a spiritual kingdom. I believe the same about the works of my brothers and sisters.
(G) I've never understood my opponent's last argument. Lots of people use it. Everyone has a different interpretation of the Bible. Well, everyone has a different interpretation of EVERYTHING. Just because there are different interpretations, doesn't mean that MINE is wrong, or can't be evidenced. Textual criticism is a thing. It makes up a huge part of science. The scientific community accepts that you can interpret what an author is communicating and in what context. Psychology, for example, which I am studying, depends on this.
Good debate! Please explore the Jesus story.
I apologize for not posting an argument. Events have come up over the past few days and I have been extremely busy, leaving me unable to post a sufficient and substantial rebuttal. I will be posting my argument in the comments at a later time. Again, I apologize for this inconvenience and I hope you will understand.

Expect some updates and changes for the 2018 GMC Yukon but not so much because the ride is already appealing and good looking as it is – or at least, that's what the company thinks. If you want a powerful SUV with the solid stance and muscular platform, this is the ideal ride to choose – not to mention that you can always load people and also cargo.
GMC Yukon has always been known as the boxy full size SUV able to accommodate many people onboard. If you take a look at the design, you are probably wondering why such a boxy design can be quite ordinary common and yet manage to sell out pretty well. For the 2018 model, the company will do some refreshed updates and changes, adding up an extra $1000 to the sales price. But they won't be doing any grandeur or extravagant work for the new 2018 GMC Yukon.
Price and Release Date
There hasn't been any official confirmation from the company about the release of the new 2018 GMC Yukon but it is predicted that the new model should be available at dealerships around the middle of 2017. The flagship Denali should be available later on, not long after the official release.
And as for the price, you should expect a slight increase despite the company's attempt to keep it stable and constant. Because of the minor changes and the inflation, expect an increase of $1000 to the base model, where the starting price should begin from $70,000. Seems to much? Well, it is due for the improved features.
As it was mentioned before, there aren't much to expect from the minor changes except for the bumpers in rear and front, the front grille, and headlamps. Yes, they are minor but they can significantly change the overall look of the ride itself. Thanks to these changes, you can have a refreshed styling and model with very little attempts. New colors are possible included for the new 2018 GMC Yukon.
Interior Cabin
Some changes are due for the interior cabin as well, focusing on the technologies and features. You can expect better safety features as well as entertainment technologies, such as WiFi connectivity, anti collision technology, navigation, airbags, rear view camera, Bluetooth, and also stability control – among the others. It is highly likely that new materials will also be included to improve comfort so you should expect chrome accents, high quality trim, and also luxurious wooden insets.
For this new model, Yukon will be coming with V8 engine with 5.3 liter capacity that is delivering 355 bhp for the base trim. For the higher trim Denali, it will be using the V8 enngine with 6.2 liter capacity that is delivering 420 bhp, both with cylinder deactivation and direct fuel injection to improve efficiency and economy. It is paired with the new automatic eight speed transmission (no longer using the auto six speed system) with standard rear wheel driving system or the optional four wheel type. Good things should be expected from this upcoming 2018 GMC Yukon.

You Taste Food Differently When You're in a Relationship
(Link): You Taste Food Differently When You're in a Relationship
People change and adapt when they're in a relationship—and not usually in ways that make them more unique. Studies suggest that over time, romantic partners can become more similar in subtle ways. Younger couples tend to have similar levels of health the longer they've been together, and couples may even develop similar facial features—by employing the same facial muscles out of unintentional mimicry—over time.
The same phenomenon may also happen on the plate. A new study published in the journal Appetite suggests that couples may develop more similar food tastes the longer they're together.
….The longer a couple had been together, the more likely they were to share the same preferences for smell and taste. Interestingly, how happy they were in their relationship did not affect this trend.

If you are a newbie to web marketing, you will need helpful information to help you get started with earning income in this lucrative field. You can get a jump start on your affiliate marketing campaign by taking a look at the following tips.
You need to find out exactly how all orders are tracked before signing with any marketing programs. You can end up losing out on a lot of commission if you are directing orders that get placed over the phone or through the mail and they are not connected to your personal affiliate ID.
Once you have a proven success rate, it may be time to ask the program for a raise. If generating sales and using sound marketing strategies are things you are known for, the program is sure to consider a raise and whatever red carpet you want to stay on board.
Many affiliate marketers overdo it. They put their energy in too many places, they choose too many products, and they have too many promotions going at once to stay effectively competitive at any one thing. There is always room for improvement, and instead of maximum results, think more along the lines of maximum effort. Take time to think about your decision, and select the approach that you think will work best for you.
While there are affiliates that accomplish various tasks through emails, you can spend countless hours simply staring at your inbox. To minimize time spent mucking around you email, take the high points of each email and paste them to your favorite text editor or word processor. This will help you accomplish tasks faster since you will only have to refer to one document.
Carefully decide what content your site links to before adding it. Once you have your affiliate links arranged properly, you should be earning more profits.
Extremely Popular
Affiliate programs vary greatly. Some differences include the products offered and the flexibility afforded you.
Trying to market extremely popular products isn't always the best strategy. Quality is always good, but not all quality products are also extremely popular. If you choose to market a highly sought-after product, you will face intense competition from the outset. Profit may not be a possibility.
Google Ads are a smart start to any affiliate marketing program and can shorten the wait time for profits. If you are smart about choosing keywords for your ads, you can draw visitors that are interested in that keyword.
You will always suffer a loss rate as people unsubscribe from your emails, so you need to be constantly thinking of ways to replace them. To attract new customers, send high quality emails to pique their interest.
Treat your readers like personal friends. Readers who like the content you provide will research your company, and they are more likely customer candidates.
Use text services to make affiliate commissions. Although it is still cutting-edge, many affiliate sellers are actively using text messaging campaigns to update their existng customers and publicize upcoming products or offers.
In order to maximize the impact of an affiliate program, select a firm with a history of significant sales conversions. Use 1% as a guideline to determine if the conversion rate is acceptable.
Affiliate Companies
Get to know your audience when you are setting goals to become a successful affiliate marketer. You need to work to meet the needs of your readers. Know what makes your website attractive to them. Why are they visiting?
Be sure to only conduct business with affiliate companies that are fair and generous with their commission offers. As a general rule, you should stay away from companies that do not offer you at least 20 percent of the revenue generated by a sale. Higher commissions will result in repeat business from you, and the high quality affiliate companies are aware of this.
Instead of pop-up ads, move to pop-under ads. Many web browsers block pop-up ads by default, and most have options to block them. Many of your visitors will never see them. Pop-under ads that come up in the background have been shown to have a greater response rate than the much maligned pop-up ads.
When you have a sports themed website, your customers are going to come to your website seeking all things sporting related. Putting a link leading to a completely unrelated affiliate won't be nearly as effective as a link to something related to sports. The types of business you affiliate with needs to be somehow associated with the content on your site or very few people will click on your links.
To be an affiliate marketing success, you should keep up with the latest trends in the industry. Keep up to date with all the products and services that the affiliate programs you belong to offer. The field of affiliate marketing is constantly being improved with the introduction of new tools. These are designed to make the advertising on your site more captivating to your viewers.
There are many differences between affiliate programs. The different vendors offer a variety of products and levels of flexibility to the marketer.
You cannot make the assumption that if a program claims to give you 100 percent of the commission that it is a scam. It is definitely easy to research and reject plan as a scam, but pause a minute to peruse the small print. Most companies who give 100% commission, do it because they pay their affiliates the upfront sale but they keep the subscription from the clients for themselves. These can make you a lot of money, so make sure to read the fine print very carefully on offers like this.
In order to be successful at affiliate marketing and make good money, you have to use paid advertising, and one solution is Google Ads. It is important to consider the use of keyword related ads and if they will be beneficial to your internet marketing plan.
Tell your readers right from the start that you receive a commission from the your affiliate link sales. Your customers will be able to tell if you have a good affiliate link, therefore, hiding facts from them may ruin their trust in you. Being honest will encourage your visitors to make their purchases in a manner that benefits you.
Affiliate Companies
Use a little success as motivation to achieve more. Your affiliate marketing plans should be in constant forward motion. How? Create new content that will extend awareness of your business. This could be a blog, a contest, a survey or even a forum. Keeping your affiliate marketing profitable requires you to always keep generating new income streams and following up on new opportunities.
The most effective affiliate companies support affiliates and assist in cross-selling products. Affiliate companies generally know what they are doing. They understand different marketing trends and how to use it to convert potential customers into sales. The best companies provide the affiliates with this information, so that they can sell and earn more commissions.
Offering a prize or running a contest is a wonderful thing for affiliate marketers to do. Prizes or contests keep customers returning to your website and also entices them to tell others about the contest.
You should avoid using pop-ups in favor of pop-under advertising on your website. With the increasing popularity of pop up blockers chances are they will never been seen. Research indicates that pop-under ads, which load unobtrusively in your website's background, are greatly preferred by visitors, a fact that is verified by the response rate, which is much greater than that of pop-up ads.
Consider peripherals as you place affiliate links throughout your site. Get a water bottle that includes a strap so it can tag along with you easily.
Demonstrating yourself using the products you are trying to markets is an effective advertising technique. write reviews of how the product helped you. Forums will also be a great place to expound upon your experiences with the products you sell. Each time you post online, include a link for your affiliate, giving your readers a way to purchase and get you more sales.
If you a selling a product online, you should provide images of the product and customer reviews. Buyers are more likely to invest in your products and become repeat purchasers if they have a sufficient amount of information available to aid in their decision to buy.
California affiliate marketers who have suspended accounts as of the first part of 2011 can again place links on their websites. Amazon is again able to participate in the program in California after the law that resulted in the dropping of clients changed. Sign up if it affected you.
Your affiliate marketing plan should include a series of small, manageable goals. That way the task bar acts as a meter for progress.
There are many online forums that are happy to share web marketing tips. You can post any questions you have, as well as viewing the ideas and work that others have shared on the message board.
By creating special websites for affiliates, you can boost your sales. If you put pride and effort into your affiliate promotions, you'll have no trouble finding good partners. With proper search engine optimization, potential affiliates who have no knowledge of your product will be able to find you.
When putting in affiliate links, think of all the accessory items you can include in your website. They might also want an mp3 player to listen to on their walks.
When choosing affiliates, it is important that you are well aware of your audience. Don't have advertisers that aren't related to your product in some way. Your targeted visitors have a specific thing in mind, and that is why they are visiting your site. Use that knowledge to your advantage and promote products that they are likely to want.
It's a good idea to offer plenty of information about your product, like screenshots, reviews, and testimonials. The more you know, the better you can help your customers, they will trust you and come back.
Another great idea is to write a short e-book, which you can then post on various document-sharing websites. This will allow you to show how knowledgeable you are in your field. It will also help bring more people to your website in order to find out additional information. Link to your business website multiple times throughout the e-book.
Think about including your clients in your internet marketing program. When someone makes a buy on your site you will want to offer them an affiliate program. Customers who ask to become an affiliate partner may be able to increase your sales. This is a great way to expand your business and raise your profits.
Keeping a broad spectrum of advertising methods can really help you stay ahead of the game. You will have some customers who find the products they purchase online. Other customers prefer the feeling of a printed brochure in their hands. Another group may be waiting for a discount offer before they decide to buy. By exploiting as many different marketing methods as you can, you'll reach a wider audience.
You should read a couple good online marketing books and implement the advice instead of just sitting on the information of many. Initially, you will need to invest time without turning a profit. You should be aware that there is a chance you can make no money. However, if you find yourself doing more research than is necessary, recognize that you are stalling. Eventually, you have to get your nose out of the books, apply a few of the tips you like best and get started.
You should pay close attention to the social media sites for your affiliate needs just as google does. They bookmark sites and produce search results with social media largely in mind. Social media sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn contain postings that interact with marketing affiliates.
Tracking Service
Before enrolling in referral programs, you should carefully review the terms and conditions. There are many companies that offer incentives to bring new affiliates on board. There are enterprises that will pay you a portion of any sales resulting from a referral. If you have found a new or untapped niche, you have a great position for affiliate marketing.
Only use an trustworthy tracking service. It's possible for affiliates to miscalculate your sales, resulting in a loss of profit for you. Using a tracking service consistently will save you the hassles of arguing with your affiliates or checking the data yourself. Even if the service costs a little bit of money, it is money well spent.
Constant communication can help affiliates build their partnership together. Free and frequent communication protects your revenue stream. Affiliates that bring in a lot of money are difficult to replace, so do everything in your power to keep them around.
By now you will have realized just how profitable internet marketing will be. These tips can help you be on your way to becoming an expert in online marketing.
Studying your partner statistics will show you which links perform well. Try a different place on your page to see how it works for you. This will allow you to tell which position is the best for your link.

How I'm using Rosenshine's principles 1 & 2 to improve my teaching of Shakespeare.
Principles of (English) Instruction Part 4: Rosenshine meets Shakespeare
How I'm using Rosenshine's principles 1 & 2 to improve my teaching of Shakespeare.
The second principle is "Present new material in small steps with student practice after each step." Do I do this? [Embarrassed pause]
The first principle is "Begin a lesson with a short review of previous learning." So do I do this? Er... sometimes.
This is a meditation (guided, ha ha) about the article 'Principles of Instruction: Research-Based Strategies That All Teachers Should Know' by Barak Rosenshine and how I might be able to apply its ideas in an English classroom.
The other day, I opened the door to my Year 9 English class and saw something unusual. The students saw it too. We all stood around and gaped at it in awe.
On using mnemonics to remember some particularly tricky metres.

text: With Cameron also having raced for Mick Hone motorcycles in Australia, Cameron and Chas decided to team up for the annual event and yesterday they both took to the track in order to get the Mick Hone Motorcycle/ Hern Engineering Suzuki GSXR set up for the race in 2 weeks. Some early tyre problems caused slow progress in the morning, but with that out of the way both riders were less than 0.5 of a second off the outright lap record at the Broadford circuit. The guys are looking to take it to the Super-Bike spec bikes as they will be on Chas's Formula Xtreme spec bike.

However, since then they have done major renovations and it has changed so much! Most of the animal enclosures are much nicer and the whole setup is much better.
We started by checking out the safari animals. We were able to get up close and personal with the giraffes.
But I have to admit that Emerson was more interested in the misters they had along the walkways. She kept saying, "rain" and holding her hands up in the air.
We walked through the snake exhibit and one of the workers had a snake out for the kids to touch. As soon as E saw it she started saying no and hiding behind my legs. How does she know snakes are scary!?
We stopped by and visited the same llama that we chatted with last year.
And we gobbled right on by the turkeys.
The meerkats were running around and having a blast. They are the.cutest.things.ever.
We stopped for a water break and then I let E ride the little safari ride.
She loved every second of it until I made her get off. Haha!
And then as we were heading towards the exit we spotted the baby goats. Emerson was obsessed with them when they were in the cage but then they took one out for her to pet and she wouldn't touch the thing.
But then they offered to let her feed it milk from a bottle.
After that, she had a new best friend!
And since she was so good at it, they let her do one more.
All in all I have to say that it was the perfect way to spend Emerson's special day. And now that we know how much fun it is, we will definitely be going back!

BackgroundSo I have been pondering for ages what to do with my old iPhone 3G, and after finding my steering lock broken on my motorcycle, I have decided to turn it into a GPS tracker to fit to my motorcycle.
Find my phone doesn't seem to work on my jailbroken device, so I have gone for my own implementation.
My solution is this. A python script on the phone will periodically query the CoreLocation subsystem for the phone location and then post the in a RESTlike manner to a django web service running on one of my websites. I won't cover the django web service in this post, but needless to say you can adapt this script to advertise the location of the phone to you in a variety of ways.
Once I have the location, just pasting the coordinates into google maps will show where the phone is located.
iPhone 3G running iOS 4.2.1 Jailbroken
Python ( Cydia )
pyobjc ( Cydia )
OpenSSH ( Cydia )
Some public web server you have access to. ( I host my own, if you don't have access to one, maybe use some other nifty trick / API / twitter to send yourself the location. )
If you haven't already, jailbreak your phone. You can google that separately as I'm not going to cover the details of that. Just remember that if you need to network unlock your phone, pay special attention to the modem firmware you load. The default one that comes with 4.2.1 is not unlockable at this stage without breaking the GPS.
Once jailbroken, use cydia to install Python, Pyobjc, VIM and OpenSSH. Now that we have all the software we need, ssh into your phone, the default username is root and password is alpine.
Get the script http://pastebin.com/mHwigZXT and adapt to you needs. You need to create a web service to receive the coordinates or conjure up some other creative way. I thought about using twitter REST API via python to twit the location.
I have just setup my own django app that is logging the REST calls to a specific url with location coordinates and accuracy. You can go low-tech and just use the apache logs of your server to track your phone as-well. Just pasting the coordinates into google will show you where the phone is.
Get the script http://pastebin.com/mHwigZXT
Name the script without any extension, e.g. "location" ( I had troubles running it from launchctl as location.py )
SCP the script up to your phone : scp location firstname.lastname@example.com:/var/mobile/ ( username root passwd alpine )
SSH into your phone, chmod +x /var/mobile/location and then execute the script manually to check it. It takes a while to load all the objects and location, so be patient. 15 seconds or so at least.
To get your application to launch at boot time and to re-run the script every 15 minutes, you need to create a application plist file and put it in the right location. I have made one for you!
Get the application plist file file from http://pastebin.com/1jdb1d3d
scp that to your phone with:
scp com.my.tracker.plist email@example.com:/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
reboot the phone.
And thats that. You should now see some calls to your apache server with a URL containing the coordinates of you phone.
Remember to leave WIFI and 3G and location services enabled! ;)
I have integrated the phone into my motorcycle and even wired to up to the bike to let it charge when the bike runs. There is also a small solar panel which charges the phone slowly to extend the life.
have fun!

Because Of The Name - Poem by Billye Phillips Beck
Face of an angel, with beauty rare,
masking the pain that was hidden there.
Too many times she was abused,
bearing the burden, alone and confused.
No one willing to help or share, and
no one left that really cared.
The sad blue eyes, the childish face,
bear the scars of shame and disgrace.
Forced to feel that she's to blame,
For the story untold because of the name.
A man of the town, his beautiful wife—
no one believed he would take her life.
She begged for help but no one dared
to get involved or show they cared.
We share the guilt and we're all to blame,
when we don't believe because of the name.

I was thrown bad because it was the genus of question I expected from Emily, not Sarah. I tried to compose myself as much as I could and responded, "No, I've not in a million years done anything like that."

Don't get it as a poor excuse, but simple fact that I have a full time PhD studies on my shoulders and job aside, impose occasional shifts in a priorities. Therefore, I apologize for being absent few weeks. Very beloved and demanding Microeconomics textbook pushed me to the mental and physical limits.
However, it's time to effectively open new year. After profound browsing ex-yu online marketing communities we are coming up with a list of marketing bloggers you can utilize in order to get remarkably accurate, updated and relevant news/insights from area of digital marketing and marketing in general. So, let's roll.
- Very first on our marketing bloggers list is Istok Pavlović and his blog about digital and marketing in general. To be honest, we expect to get more regular content, but the utter true is that every single article he posts leave you speechless. Therefore, please visit his blog and get yourself injected with a proper dose of creativity and sophisticated digital marketing thinking. Profiles: Facebook, Twitter, Blog.
- Dragan Varagić. I think that you don't need much to recall this name. The name well known in internet, marketing and entrepreneurship circles in Balkan region. His outstanding blog brings very well elaborated hot topic from the world of marketing, internet, digital, entrepreneurship etc. One of the pioneers in internet marketing in Balkans. Profiles: Facebook, Twitter, Blog.
- Founder of one of the biggest and oldest online communities in Serbia and Balkans Burek forum – Ivan Minić. Occasional posting about business, marketing, digital etc. on his For The Win web site. As in case with Istok, very out-of-the-box and advanced thinking for local standards. Definitely more of this kind of people to hang around. Check his blog and business portal MojaFirma.rs. Profiles: Facebook, Twitter, Blog, MojaFirma.rs
- One of the first local podcasts about marketing, digital and internet I was following created, launched and developed by Ivan Bildi. Beside ultra fun podcast (!here!) a whole bulk of very in-depth articles mainly focused on Facebook and Facebook ads are to be found on his blog. Author of Tagovanje, every Thursday from 8pm. Strong recommendation to start following this one. Profiles: Facebook, Twitter, Blog.
- The lady who is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Balkan and Europe – Dragana Đermanović. Awarded and praised on numerous occasions. Her blog successfully covers PR, modern media and communication. If you feel like reading some very well elaborated case studies this is definitely place to hit. Profiles: Facebook, Twitter, Blog.
- Not completely marketing blog, but occasionally effectively covers topics like influence marketing, digital marketing etc which puts him in category of marketing bloggers. Zverko.rs is one of the blogs whilst reading you won't regret a second. Again, as in case of Istok and Burek, irregular posting and updating, but somehow Darko Vidić compensates on another side of equation – by quality. Follow for very critical and constructive approach and thinking. Profiles: Facebook, Twitter, Blog.
- This one is not a blog, but it is literally a whirlpool of internet marketing news, updates, hints, advices etc. –internetzarada.org forum. It might sound a bit outdated to go and dig your info in different forums, but this one is worth trying. Trust me, as someone who is doing PhD in social media and digital I definitely recommend to pay a visit or two. Profiles: Facebook, Twitter, Forum.
- One of the latest waves of people who are pushing up standards in promotion of internet marketing in Serbia – Mladen Stojanović. His blog consists of short, concise and motivating articles about internet marketing with almost exclusive focus on social media as such. Follow for interesting and helicopter view of the marketing issues. Profiles: Facebook, Twitter, Blog.
Please don't consider this list of marketing bloggers as an exhausted one. Blogs are poping up and disappearing at extraordinary pace nowadays. To be on the top constant effort is needed. When mentioning consistency, I must note that majority of the blogs lack regularity of posting articles. So far, bloggers managed to compensate public with a proper dose of high quality content but they must keep in mind the speed everything is happening today. Agility is a must. More great content is needed. Please.
In case you have to add something please feel free to comment and share it with all of us.
More news coming soon. Keep up.
