I’ve read that the wealth disparity in America is greater than that in Egypt, where the masses just recently rose up and took back their country. Conventional wisdom seems to be that it can’t happen here, though. Americans, it’s thought, are a complacent bunch, as long as…

My Grandmother was the most amazing person I’ve ever met. She wasn’t amazing because we agreed on everything or because she always told me what I wanted to hear. She was amazing because she was kind, hard working and passionate about the things she loved. She was intelligent and always learning, always adjusting her view point based on new knowledge she would acquire. She stood...

The Master Cleanse : A debriefing
I wanted to do a quick summary of my experience on the master cleanse. The 10 day program is suppose to cleanse your colon and body of impurities. It is a fast, a diet consisting of a cayenne pepper/maple syrup and lemonade with a daily 30 oz warm salt water flush.
Day 1 went by without much to say. I saved the salt water flush for day 2. Tired.
Day 2 I was perpetually hungry and did the salt...

Watch(upside down) Day 5 of the master cleanse. What I learned: 1) The salt water cleanse needs to be warm water. Even so, didn’t really work and is still disgusting. 2) I’m to exhausted to function. Coffee and/or tea did nothing to help with the exhaustion. 3) Apparently I was to exhausted to hold the camera in the correct orientation.
WatchDay 4 of the master cleanse. What I learned; 1) The lemonade really started to curb the hunger. 3) My sense of smell was in hyper sensitive mode.3) I’m really uncomfortable talking about pooping, which is odd because not a lot of things are embarrassing for me to talk about. 4) The salt water cleanse is incredibly disgusting.
WatchProof I drank 30 oz of salt water. Ugh. I did the salt water flush days 2-5. It stopped working on day 3 and I had to double the salt to get any results. So, day 2 I drank the 30 oz and had results within the hour. Day 3 I drank the 30 oz in the morning and had symptoms but no results. I did the flush again later on day 3 with still no results. Day 4 I doubled the salt and had mediocre results....

WatchThis was day 2 of the master cleanse. I was incredibly tired so I, against directions, added some caffeine to the mix. There was a little bit of an kick initially, but it petered out pretty fast. While I was still hungry at this time I didn’t feel physically ill, as in I didn’t have headaches or stomach aches and what not. This was also the first time I had plans to start the salt...

This article comes as Lent (the season before Easter) draws to a close, and I’m reminded of Merold Westphal’s recommendation that Christians should read atheists for Lent. He argues in Suspicion and Faith that Christians should take seriously the criticism of modern atheists—not to call core…
