Human behavior is sheepish when considering what happens in the environment. A child gets into a boarding school where there are bullies; he assumes bullying to be normal behavior. That child may turn out to be a bully himself or relent when other people get bullied. The war of liberation…

The trappings of humanity are caused by complacency, more than ignorance can be blamed. A nation is more vulnerable at the point of having achieved greater success. A nation in turmoil can be viewed as deserving criticism, but there is more hope in a nation with challenges than the one…

Let us give kudos when due. The Citizens Coalition for Change is the greatest thing ever to be emerging in this country. ZANU PF has been sustained by its usage of the term “Pasi ne opposition!” It started off with “Pasi nemadzakudzaku!” Then followed; “Pasi na Ngomo!” The “Pasi” ideology…

In Jewish records, there is no inference of Jesus ever identified as a member of the Trinity, as implied by most Christians. The Hebrew term of a Messiah denotes “the anointed one.” The custom of anointing with oil is a ritual for a special designation for priestly, royal or sometimes…

Regarded as God’s people, the Israelites were expected to purge all evil, by stoning offenders. At least two or three witnesses were necessary for the execution,…

The entire New Testament Bible is mystified in one single chapter of the Book of John, whose content clarifies everything about Christianity. In the hands of unbelievers, Christianity is a religion, whose worshippers find value in the death, rather than the resurrection of Jesus. Christianity is popular, because of falsehoods,…

Any message is conveyed through a concatenation of words, put together in a systematic pattern.
