Now in its 22nd season, CBS’s powerhouse show “Survivor” still amazes audiences. Tonight’s episode is no exception. Last week’s episode featured Matt and the crew reading from the book of Matthew in the Bible while Boston Rob expresses suspicion about people who are of a like mind. This is similar to what many non-believers think…

I woke up this morning, already planning to write this story, and have been glued to the news coverage of the earthquakes and tsunami in Japan overnight. Watching the debris and devastation as the death toll rises, it does make you wonder, why?…
