David and his brother, Rush, had an ordinary Mid-western childhood with parents who took them to Sunday school and church every week.  David felt he had no need to distrust Christianity but over time, he began to have his doubts. By the time he was in college, David said he wondered about philosophical questions including Who God was and what He was like.  “I thought I could bootstrap my way to an understanding of spiritual truths through my reasoning powers alone, largely unaware of the actual content of God’s special revelation in the Bible,” he says.  He couldn’t comprehend why God would establish a system of salvation whereby salvation was attained simply by believing in Him.  Without even investigating the Bible as a young adult, David had his serious doubts. At one point, David realized how foolish and arrogant it was for him to pretend to form final conclusions about the Bible and Jesus Christ when he hadn’t studied Christian doctrine or Scripture.  S...

The Pentagon is one of the most famous buildings in the world. You don't get a status like that without having some interesting facts that most people don't know about. Here are 10 of the best ones we could find. #8 is pretty crazy, I can't believe how people get from floor to floor in the building. 1.) It wasn't supposed to be for the DoD. Imgur President Franklin D. Roosevelt never intended the Pentagon to be the home of the Department of Defense. In the 1930's he commissioned another building for the War and Navy departments, but they quickly outgrew that space. That's when FDR ordered a new building that could accommodate 40,000 employees and 10,000 cars. The old War Department building is now the State Department. 2.) Bigger than the Empire State Building.  Imgur With 5,100,000 square feet of office space, the Pentagon has twice as much office space as the Empire State building in New York.   3.) The Pentagon replaced...

Let's be honest: We love the attention from being the smartest person in the room. From knowing who was the second President of the United States, to telling everyone where Kim Kardashian spent her last vacation, appearing to know everything gives you an automatic level of respect that you can't get any other way. And it's feels great to be right too! That's why you need these completely random facts in your life. You just never know when it'll be important to defeat your future social victim.  credit  viralnova

If someone were to ask you to teach them about Africa, what would you say? Would you bestow any facts upon them or would you only be able to repeat inaccurate stereotypes? Don't feel bad if it's the latter, though. We all make assumptions and judgments based on the things we have heard over the years. It's about time, though, that you learned a thing or two about this large continent. Africa is way more amazing than you probably think. 1.) Spread across the vast area of Africa, are 54 independent countries. Wikipedia 2.) The Sahara Desert is Northern Africa is the largest desert in the world. It's even bigger than the United States.  Imgur 3.) Nigeria's film industry is the second largest in the world. Producers there create more films annually than Hollywood.  Indiegogo 4.) There are more French speakers in Africa than there are in France. Wikipedia 5.) The population of Africa is expected to reach 2...

Modern medicine is  great , but sometimes your problems can be more easily solved using things you already have around the house. Granted, if you need antibiotics you should probably head to the pharmacy and pick up some penicillin. However, if you have some weird stains you need to remove or if you have smelly feet? These "cures" are for you! Save yourself a trip to the store and instead use these remedies you probably already own. 1.) Foot odor. Have stinky feet? Then wipe them down with vodka to get rid of the smell. It's weird, but it works. (In fact, vodka can remove a smelly scent from many surfaces and materials.) 2.) Headaches. Fight back against that nasty headache by putting a pencil in your mouth. It prevents you from subconsciously clenching your jaw when you're stressed, thus preventing more headaches. 3.) Blisters. While Listerine is meant for teeth, it can also be very helpful for bli...
