The eminent Orthodox theologian David Bentley Hart seems to think so. Especially in an age where if you identify yourself as a Christian people will start thinking that you certainly are an ultraconservative, hyperpatriotic and crypto-racist defender of the most intransigent form of capitalism...

For those who do not live in Europe or Russia (most of you I suppose), our temperatures are dropping these days because a freezing cold wind from Siberia named Buran is hitting us. With this said, I'll leave Conservapedia aka The Trustworthy Encyclopedia, namely the last bastion of the good...

Despite my nickname here, I've never practiced deadlift much. My experience with weights started in summer 2014 with crossfit so you understand that I deadlifted only every now and then and not too much attention was paid to sheer strength gains. After recovering from an injury I promised I...

Merry Christmas everyone, have a great day guys

Not that I have the money or the brain to apply for studying at one of those, also I'm a university student already, just wondering.

Christian scholar and medical doctor Nabeel Qureshi died of stomach cancer in Houston, TX after a lengthy and painful illness. Formerly a devout Ahmadyya, he started studying the arguments for and against Islam after discussing the issue with his best friend in college,and converted to...

Today, a bus full of Coptic Christians who were heading to a monastery was targeted by a group of gunmen, who attacked it leaving, apparently, 23 dead and several injured.

Chris Cornell of Soundgarden was today found dead in a hotel room in Detroit, after his concert. Apparently, his performance went well, so that nobody found problems with his voice that might have been due to health issues. Even though we are not certain about the cause of Cornell's death, the...

Though I've never practiced glossolalia, I've always found this phenomenon to be quite remarkable, at the point that I've studied rather seriously about it and devoted a chapter of my philosophy of language thesis for the university. I'd like to know what is your take on this issue, especially...

Happy Easter to all my fellow NB members. Have a great one :)

Today, a big lorry ran into the crowd in the city center of Stockholm, Sweden, and left at least five dead and several injured. A man has already been arrested by the police, even though apparently they're not certain that it was him who was driving the lorry. Local medias report that shootings...

Today two bombs exploded in the metro of St. Petersburg, Russia. As for now, medias are talking about 10 dead and 50 injured. The most plausible hypothesis seems to be that this attack represents a reaction from jihadi militants to the large Russian military action in Syria against Isis...

What's the most beautiful city in the world in your opinion? I mean out of the cities which are inhabited today (e.g. Pompeii wouldn't be a choice). I'm making a poll

List some of the stereotypes of your country and say how true each of them is. I'll start first: Italians are loud: this is quite correct. It doesn't mean we're always yelling around, but we generally tend to talk louder than people of other nationalities. Italians speak with their hands: true...

Everybody knows America is the land of the freedom, of the opportunity and of the strong moral values. Or at least this is how it is portrayed in my country, and I think in most others. Thus, you see hordes of people from literally every country (North Korea aside, I guess) who move to America...

After the escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran (in which the latter threatened to destroy an American military base in Bahrain, and even to launch missiles to Tel Aviv in case of American aggression) Trump defined Iran as "the number one terrorist state". At this point, Moscow (one of...

So guys, I have a huge favor to ask you. Since Bello Figo said he will release his new song as soon as "Non pago affitto" hits 10 millions views, you might want to listen to it and spread the swag with your friends who don't know him ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ookGv44MMd4

The other day I was having a discussion with a fellow NB member. We were debating about which one of these two Italian regions (pun intended) had the most beautiful seas/beaches. So here I am, invoking the impartial court of NB to emit the verdict: Sardinia VS Dalmatia I'm making a...

Happy Christmas to those who celebrate it, have a great one

I mean, they can smoke, drink and live the least healthy life you can imagine and yet they'll still look like they're in their twenties even if they're 40+. That's not fair, I'm 20 and look like I'm in my late 90s, and I'm straight edge!
