Drugs, Depression, and Religion
Watch this commercial for Abilify, an anti-depressant now on the market. I will relate this to Christianity shortly.

Really interesting article found on CNN: "Are White Racially Oppressed?"
Before you scoff and cower in fear at the thought of racism rearing its ugly head in America (again), read the article. Obviously I am not a white supremacist in any way, shape, or form and in no way am I saying I hold these views as my own - but the article is thought-provoking and interesting.
Comments as to how this relates to Christianity - particularly in America - and diversity of both race and religion will follow shortly.
