The Mechanics Of How Stress Kills

It's a popular notion that stress kills. Indeed, it does. Here's how.

The human body reacts to stress, workplace-generated or otherwise, by shutting itself down as a defense mechanism in order to distance itself from the source. This it does by constricting blood flow to the heart, resulting in a heart attack, or the brain, resulting in a stroke.

Utilizing fat deposits and other artery-clogging substances such as nicotine-generated plaque already present or that which may be present in the blood, the human body creates blood flow-constricting barriers inside the artery over a period of time, resulting in clogged arteries that in turn trigger heart attacks or stroke.


In conclusion, the human body reacts to stress, whatever its form or origin, by shutting itself down as a defense mechanism, or, in other words, by committing suicide.

Creator Rights

A riddle: He creates as he likes and disposes as he likes. He brings to life as he likes and kills off as he likes. He blesses as he likes and curses as he likes. He brightens the skies above as he likes and devastates the earth below as he likes. He does as he pleases and is answerable to no one. Who is he?

Why I Do Not Go To Church Anymore

...is because the Church is heading in the opposite direction the Bible points towards, which, if the Bible, generally believed to be the Word of God (emphasis, mine), is about the salvation of one's soul in the afterlife, should be in the general direction of Heaven, wherever that might be.

And this I know, how?


Anyone who reads it, the Bible, in its pure, unadulterated, literal form will come to the same conclusion. Of course, if you listen to Church elders who tell you not to take the Bible, generally believed to be the Word of God (emphasis, mine), literally (which some folk might interpret as being told by the Church not to take the word of God seriously) (seriously?), you too will brush it aside in favor of what the Church, after a heavy-duty editorial job spanning approximately two thousand years, has extracted from it for usage in its own Church Doctrine.

But, why in Heaven's name, pun unintended, would the (so-called) holy Church do such an unholy thing in the first place, you may ask?

Approximately two thousand years ago, the disciple named Peter had a revelation and saw that winning the hearts of new converts would be almost impossible if the old ways were to be followed, the old ways Moses preached about which Jesus said he did not come to abolish but to uphold, the old ways that made the road to salvation narrow and difficult to traverse. So, what the disciple named Peter did was to do away with some of the old ways to make the road to salvation wide and easy to traverse.

Approximately two thousand years later, the Church has diligently continued the legacy the disciple named Peter left behind.

Imagine, were you a die-hard purist, the amount of damage approximately two thousand years of Church-sanctioned editorial work has done to the original contents of the Bible, generally believed to be the Word of God (emphasis, mine).

On second thoughts, perhaps I should resume going to church once again. After all, the more than two billion people doing it can't be wrong, can they?
