Beyond Reasonableness -
- Missing Link (766)  
Missing Link
Ok, so I am confused...yeah, yeah, well get used to it. Chrysler is being allowed to go into bankruptcy.

Atheistic Evolutionists Faced With Incredible Dilemma -
- Joel Hendon (16,285)  
Joel Hendon
Outspoken atheists have always been in the minority, yet they boast of being also in the minority with highest intelligence. That in itself shows disdain for anyone who disagrees with them.

War Is Natural - Peace Is An Accident -
Michael Kocis (1,052) 
Michael Kocis
I can smell the disdain for that title already, it doesn't take much to hear the chants of peace and love coming from the passive group that think, no make that believe, that mankind does have the ability to live together in harmony.

Exploring Utopia -
Sara O'Rourke (791) 
Sara O'Rourke
Our authors and creators of utopian worlds and concepts reach far and wide across the body of History; Plato inspired Thomas More, and in turn his account of Hythloday dining with the utopians gave flame to firewood for H.G.Wells and the Buckminster Fuller. What is our evident obsession with such... ( added 157 days 2 hours ago.) |

Wisdoms Role in Reality (life as we know it) -

Never Have I Felt So Broken Nor Abandoned. -
Robert Melaccio, Sr. (5,185)
Robert Melaccio, Sr.

The Demise of Truth and the Rise of Relativism. -
Robert Melaccio, Sr. (5,185)
Robert Melaccio, Sr.
Now I have written to this before but felt the prompting to write to it again. Many in today's society seemed to be perplexed as to what is truth ?

Shades of the Roman Empire? -
Robert Melaccio, Sr. (5,185)
Robert Melaccio, Sr.
Well a few years ago when I started to write I was drawn to the realities of our society today and the Late Great Roman Empire in its dying moments. The similarities are striking, although many care not to acknowledge them giving excuse or reason after reason why they don't apply.
