    Researchers are calling for urgent protections for corpse flowers in the Rafflesia genus, which live only in remote rainforests of Southeast AsiaMost plants in the parasitic genus Rafflesia—which contains the world’s largest flower—may be at risk of extinction, new research suggests. Often called corpse flowers or stinking corpse lilies, these blossoms are infamous for their distinctive odor of rotting flesh. Though the genus does not include the corpse flower called titan arum, known for drawing crowds to botanic gardens when it blooms once every few years, Rafflesia plants have short-lived, rancid blossoms all their own.

    A two-story display of a blood-stained Satan holding the severed head of Jesus accompanied by a tombstone reading 'Hillary's emails' has sparked outrage in the Bucktown neighborhood of New Orleans. Vic Miorana has spent months and thousands of dollars on the tombstones and bloodied body organs, but some nearby residents said he crossed the line. 'We have a little religious theme here. We wanted to make people scared, to make them a little uncomfortable,' Miorana said in WWL-TV's interview. He said he would not remove the display, despite threats and complaints from neighbors. 'It's horrible to our religion, it's blasphemy,...

She was quite serious about it.In the 1970s, I personally...

    As most Americans plan to celebrate Halloween on Monday night, many Christian parents will try to keep their children from being exposed to occultic ideas like witchcraft, demons and evil spirits. But other Christian families will embrace the time for candy, costumes and fun. Many pastors and churches urge members to avoid the annual observance altogether or suggest alternative activities like harvest festivals. However, others are less bothered by Halloween even though they acknowledge its pagan origin. In a series of interviews, The Christian Post asked pastors with children of their own about how their families approach Halloween. Most of...
