    What’s the root of all evil?

    What we are is a people that is still evolving and that evolution has profoundly affected not just our bodies but our psyches as well. The world in which we evolved was a difficult and dagerous one and mere survival was of the highest priority. Selfishness became a part of who we are as a...

    Scientific American Endorses Joe Biden For Its First Presidential Endorsement In 175 Years

    The anti-science culture that is growing in the USA is very troubling. Some of it has been aided and abetted by big business. I refer to the resistance to tobacco as a cause of cancer and the attacks on global warming science. Sadly there are a huge number of people who have been conditioned to...

    Acceptance of the Trinity & Nicene Creed

    I grew up a traditional Roman Catholic with a Jesuit education, even a year in seminary. Today 60 years later I find the fourth century doctrines quite incomprehensible and even harmful to my spiritual evolution. Jesus pointed us in a powerful way to the creator whom he called "Father".

    Where were you on 9/11

    I was teaching a grade ten math class when I heard some commotion in the hall. I stepped outside and a student told me that an airliner had flown into one of the twin towers. I went back into the classroom and turned on the TV just in time to see the second plane hit. I was rendered speechless...

    If you were standing in a grocery line

    I too have done that many times but there are a few people in town who seem to have a sense of entitlement who will literally butt in line ahead of you. The best way to handle this is to object loudly and longly even getting the cashier or manager involved. The irony is that if I had seen them...

    What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen unfold

    Other than that, I recall the early days of TV in the 1950s when news and sports was broadcast live to air. A well known sports broadcaster was giving his report and it became obvious that he was royally drunk. At one point he picked up his basset hound and placed it on the desk in front of him...

On the other hand the present occupant of that office...

    KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS

    It is interesting that the Bible has three versions of the ten commandments but one of them is almost totally ignored and is in fact almost unknown to most Christians. I refer to the commandments listed in Exodus 34 which many scholars think was the earliest version.

    Post going around about voting/abortion

    I do not agree that abortion is everywhere and always wrong but at the same time I believe that we should adopt policies that would greatly reduce the numbers of abortions. I say this for a number of reasons. First, we do not know when the zygote/embryo/ fetus is ensouled. We cannot say with any...

    Babies and children

    According to the Doctrine of Original Sin they certainly do. This one of the several reasons that I reject that Doctrine as incompatible with God's love and compassion.

    USA 57 Years Ago Today

    It is you who seems obsessed about her being "half white" when in fact she has no white at all in her. Her mother is from India. I am impressed with her credentials, she is intelligent, well educated, experienced at all three levels of government and of high moral character. She seems to be...

    Creeds fall short when it comes to the Mystery of the GodHead

    It is my understanding that the "Apostles' Creed" reached its final form in the 7th century. The first known reference to is in AD 390.
