USA: Christian Rapper Faces Death Threats for Song Opposing Gay Marriage
Mark Felder, a Christian music artist based in Houston, Texas, is receiving death threats after the release of a song opposing homosexual lifestyles and gay marriage. Felder's song was a direct response to a popular track entitled "Same Love" released by artists Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. The highly intolerant response Felder is receiving to his music is emblematic of a prevailing culture in the United States which is increasingly critical of Christians and orthodox Christian values. ICC continues to monitor incidents of anti-Christian sentiment throughout the United States.

Teens Are Not Convinced That Sunscreen Prevents Disease
When it comes to rubbing toxic chemicals on our bodies, those who are informed can filter through the mainstream deception about our so-called "evil" sun. They're aware the sun is not our enemy and that sunscreen is a far greater risk to our health than any damage caused by the sun's rays. Apparently, teens aren't convinced about the false "sun causing cancer" message either. A University of Colorado Cancer Center study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology shows that teens are only willing to wear sunscreen to prevent wrinkles, but not to prevent disease.
