Your view makes sense only if you reject God. You are free to reject what is right and good of course, but then you must accept the consequences. Good...

Your post begs the question: who is Glen Kirshner and why should anyone care what book is on his desk?

I cannot think of any concrete contributions philosophy has made to our understanding of Creation/nature. It is interesting but not very useful. Only ...

Nothing to rethink, brother. Socialism is our only hope. We must unite.

If we could rid the world of capitalism we would achieve 90% of what you are asking for, IMHO.

I suffered as you did until I stopped turning away from God. It is vanity and arrogance (that you can be anything without God) that is your problem. I...

First you should define philosophy. As way to live and make sense of the world I think think religion, in particular Christianity, is the ultimate phi...

Only an atheist could ask such a question.

It is one of his best, IMHO. Go get a copy!

How could your finite mind truly grasp the infinite love of the Creator? Impossible. I can formally manipulate 'infinity' mathematically all day long....

I love returning to his novels once and a while. One of my favorite writers.

I always find it sad (OK, and a bit funny) to see atheists contort themselves in an effort to deny the reality of the Creator. Atheism is an irrationa...

Ravenna, by Judith Herrin

We can all have eternal life through our Savior, the Christ Jesus.

Multiverses..,total speculation. When there is even one piece of observational evidence, I will take it seriously. Right now it seems to be an atheist...

I pray that my country (US) will stop provoking Russia. I support the latter in the protest against NATO expansion (bullying). I generally support Bid...

It is a fantastic lifestyle/way to work. I have been doing it for the better part of two decades, so everyone like me is catching up. I respect those ...

God Bless President Biden. We live in a very dark age and I think Biden is doing the best that can be done. The crumbling of an empire, which Biden ha...

The answer is: that is how things turned out. The Founding Fathers did not have this in mind, though many of them feared it.

Here the is situation in 2021. We know of a single universe (hello there, neighbor), of finite age. It has a history. Here we are. Neat! That is all t...

There will always be mysteries but little doubt. For example the Trinity. It is beyond the comprehension of our finite minds - but that is OK. Faith a...

Just an observation: electrons are not really 'particles' but rather localized excitations in the electron field.

I too lament the lack of accountability. We should drag all of the military leaders before Congress (more than the sideshow already held), strip them ...

I finally made time for Kierkegaard, something I have put off for so many years, don't know why... 'A Kierkegaard Anthology' edited by Robert Bretall ...

I just had to say that I much prefer, and only drive, old cars - as little technology as possible!

Hello. I think every part of Creation, every species, is universally unique and I value that intrinsically.

A depressing assessment of what is going on but one I can't find anything I disagree with. I would add that a serious consequence of the trends you hi...

Hello. Yes interesting point regarding Descartes though from what I know (not enough, surely) of his writings leads me to think he and I would have so...

In my opinion, the problem is not so much the number of people but rather how our resources are utilized. Capitalism is the problem. Unfortunately it ...

First we need computer that can actually think (though that does not stop politicians now!).

I think the mystery of existence necessarily points to something beyond our everyday experience. That is, recognizing the existence of God is the rati...

In regards to that important book on religion by James, it is the edited transcript from his Gifford Lectures. Many of these have, over the years, bee...

I am as concerned about the extinction of the majority of flora and fauna species going extinct as I am humans going that route. But ultimately the pr...

IMO, an infinite value for any physical quantity should raise some red flags. As for black holes, the infinities we get are surely just a sign that ou...

Note to self: use the 'Preview' button before posting :-) Mute? LOL

Modern medicine is obviously good. Internet? Sure...but then there is social media which, IMHO, is destroying the fabric of society. However, unlike i...

Philo of Alexandria, by Maren Niehoff A fascinating read so far.
