That's it. That's the post this week. Get out there and protest. The Trump administration is kidnapping innocent people, including US citizens, including children, and deporting them without due process. That is illegal, unconstitutional, and a violation of our human rights. And they are threatening protesters
St. Anselm famously defined God as "that than which nothing greater can be thought." He had set out to defend the existence of God by the use of reason alone, and arrived at a proof by way of definition. If it does not exist, then it is not
Here's a breakdown of my four posts from this month: * Non-Christian Thoughts (5/2/25) “I have grown exhausted by the totalizing hegemony of Christianity. Christianity has the world in its stranglehold. All over the planet, billions of people worship Jesus. And this has less to do with
So if we say there is no afterlife, what then? I would venture to guess that most people hope, if not believe, that some heaven awaits us after we die. We live in a modern world, but even modernists struggle with the concept that this life is all there is,
Since I have posted in favor of Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy not once, not twice, but three times, I think it is only right that I explore the more objectionable sides of Nietzsche, the parts of his philosophy I cannot accept. I will say at the outset that all my

An ancient Hindu scripture says that Brahman, the supreme being, created "the most excellent Law (dharma). Law is the Kshatra (power) of the Kshatra, therefore there is nothing higher than the Law. Thenceforth even a weak man rules a stronger with the help of the Law, as with the
1. I once had a psychic tell me, “Your third eye is closed.” I’m not quite sure what she meant by that, but it resonated because, throughout my life, I seem to have lacked a spiritual sense. This may come as a surprise to those who know I have
In December I wrote about trying to cultivate inner peace and forgive the world for being the way it is. Two months into Trump’s presidency and I have to say, it’s not exactly going well. While I’m generally emotionally stable, I’m still suffering dark nights of
Here’s a breakdown of my three posts from this month: * No Title Deed but Justice (3/7/25) "In my reading of the Bible, the right to a piece of land is not tied to laws of private property, nor is it bestowed on anyone or any community
