• Consider the Lilies of the Field…

    …how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin…

  • If God could be killed, it’d be dead already

    “…..the philosophy of personal identity is relevant in the realm of ethics by helping us address age-old questions like whether being born is good or bad.”

  • Right Thinking

  • In Defense of the Trinity

    Are we living in the 21st Century? How do serious people honestly believe in such man made hogwash.

    Much is made these days of the concept of “mindfulness”.  It is the cure-all of the new age. Depressed? Mindfulness of your moods, letting go, will cure you. Poverty, illness, famine, death, disease will all bow to the mindful modern man. To a large extent it is wishful thinking. Mind-less bollox, if you will pardon…

  • “I” do not exist
