A religion, a race of people, an enigma, these are all terms applied to the Jewish. They all work when applied to this interesting band of people, who though small in number have contributed much to the world. They have made their presence known for 5772 years according to their calendar. They date themselves back [...]
I don’t claim to know an over-arching “Meaning of Life”, but I do operate under the understanding that life should not be lived under the pretense that it is simply a “test” propagated by an invisible, intangible, Creator-God.

Pentecostals are perhaps the most entertaining and most unusual sects among many other weird Christian groups. Look under the Big Top for a glimpse of their freak show.
