It's more than amusing, it's odd that people construct notions of acceptability on grounds of public opinion. In fact, public opinions are managed by ideologues and most people are coerced into believing their dogma. At this point we, as a society, are constrained by this moral force formally called "public opinion." The oddity, for me, …

Dialogue in the Darkness
"What would you do boss?" said the minion. "Convince them our government system is superior to their way," replied the "bête noire (the black beast)." "You mean after two hundred years of following the le dieu d'origine éternelle (the god of eternal origin) they will now, out of the blue, chose to become imprisoned and …
Mundane Thoughts
I've given up the sublunary world of Facebook! While I do enjoy keeping up with old friends and seeing photos of babies, food, and events, it is also important for me to think and encourage others! In a days time I found hours could be wasted just scrolling Facebook to relieve boredom. Do you feel …
The Great Something
Well, that's really cool, you believe in a higher power! What kind of a higher power? I suppose it does not matter what your higher power looks like, but since it cannot be described, it could in theory be disguised as a nuclear blast or maybe an extraordinary magical gerbil.

Aggressive hostility toward the truth will come when we cannot call wrongdoing sin!
Social Conventions and The Gospel

Are Guns Going To Hell?
Are Guns going to Hell? Oh Lord, act for thy name’s sake. Truly, have our creations sinned against Thee? Surely you will call their sins to account. Those rebellious Guns, with smoke in their barrels, deceived by the evil one, they have disobeyed you! And now they are following their own thoughts, their own ways. …
How do you love?
Do you love your neighbor? What does it look like to love? Do you love like Jesus loved? Look at me, look carefully. Listen to me, listen carefully. Watch me, observe my ways. Is there something worth loving in me? What if I’m not a “good” person? I lie, I steel, and I lust. Maybe …
