These are symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease‚ which you might associate with the elderly. In the book Still Alice by Lisa Genova‚ that’s what Alice thought‚ until she was diagnosed at age 50.

“Is marriage still important in Society?” As an atheist I don’t believe marriage is still important to society. This is because (as written bellow) in this country the purpose of marriage has traditionally been used as a form of business‚ money power and survival.

Is the Bible still relevant today? Sure‚ the Bible was relevant once upon a time‚ in that long-ago era of shepherds and scribes. That story of how the Hebrew people emerged from their centuries of slavery in Egypt is a gripping account‚ but does it have any connection to my world of lightning fast e-mails and jet travel?
