What It Was Like When The Devil Rebelled Against Heaven, According To The Bible

Nov 5, 2024 | grunge.com | William A. Fischer

If you ask a random person about the war in heaven, their mind may well jump to the story of Satan's fall. It's the story told in John Milton's "Paradise Lost," one of a disgraced angel who turned against God's plan and was cast out from heaven. But that tale never appears in the Bible as such. There are a handful of verses in the Old Testament that have been interpreted as telling the fall of Satan, which many Christians believe took place at the beginning of time.

These companies regard their culture as a strategic asset and devote serious senior management attention to its role in ensuring competitive success.

The Haunting Last Words Of Jesus

Jun 22, 2024 | grunge.com | William A. Fischer

Can a man truly be said to have last words if he escapes the grave? The dual nature of Jesus Christ — fully human, subject to wants, hunger, despair, and death, and yet fully divine and therefore eternal — is among the most difficult aspects of Christianity to wrap your mind around, for believers and skeptics alike. It demands accepting that Jesus was truly killed by crucifixion and descended into Hell and that he returned to Earth to speak to his disciples before ascending into Heaven.
What Happened To People's Bodies When The Hiroshima And Nagasaki Bombs Exploded?

Jun 19, 2024 | grunge.com | William A. Fischer

The men who dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 couldn't comprehend the devastation they had unleashed, not on a human scale. Flying overhead, they could perceive the immense mushroom clouds. Hours later, the smoke was still too thick to see anything below. Photographs taken from above when the air was clear showed how much of both cities had been leveled, but still didn't convey the cost of human life.
Strange Details About John Wayne Everyone Ignores

Jun 9, 2024 | grunge.com | William A. Fischer

Though impressionists and satirists have made it possibly the one word most associated with him, John Wayne's roles in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" and "McLintock" were the only films where he called anyone "pilgrim," most prominently in the former. It's a quirk of one of his more famous characters that got conflated with the man himself over time. And the story about Wayne and other artists who worked on "The Conqueror" developing cancer due to being downwind of nuclear testing?

Al Capone Was Buried In Chicago Before Being Moved To Hillside

Jun 2, 2024 | grunge.com | William A. Fischer

There was no grand homecoming for Al Capone when he emerged from his nearly eight-year stint in Alcatraz prison. The power he once wielded over his territory in organized crime wasn't there anymore — he'd been replaced as the boss of the Chicago Outfit as soon as he went away to prison. There was no opportunity to enjoy retirement either. Syphilis, contracted in the early days of his criminal career, advanced during his time behind bars, ravaging his body and his mind.
Grim Details About Marilyn Manson's Childhood

May 29, 2024 | grunge.com | William A. Fischer

Brian Warner has been tied to the dark for nearly his entire life. His more infamous stage name of Marilyn Manson owes half its makeup to a notorious cult leader. That choice was made, he said, to contrast the destruction of Charles Manson with the beauty of Marilyn Monroe, but it also plays into the provocative nature of his shock rock act.
The Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster was really caused by poor management

May 23, 2024 | grunge.com | William A. Fischer

It was the alpha of the U.S. space shuttle program. In 1981, the Columbia successfully completed its first mission after a two-day flight, demonstrating the safety of the remarkable and reusable new class of orbiter. Four more shuttles followed in its wake, but Columbia was never retired. It flew 27 missions over the next 20 years, running people and equipment to and from space.
