Lost Cell Phone In Couch

I have an old, red couch. I got it for free from a church organization about two years ago. A few people from the church moved it and some other secondhand furniture up to my fourth-floor apartment for me. With everything moved in, we all held hands as someone said a prayer for me. IContinueContinue reading “Lost Cell Phone In Couch”

Religion As a Source of Morality

A friend of mine said that the central message of religions is “don’t be a dick.” I think that the message common to all religions: Social conformity. Maybe don’t be a dick to everybody who shares your god, but certainly be a dick to everybody who has the wrong god.

I told her that I didn’t want to argue with her because we are friends who would not beContinueContinue reading “Origins of the Universe & God”

Ideology & Knowledge

There was an image on social media that I saw. It said that millennials, if they were thinking that socialism or Islam should be  the basis of our political system (how many millennials  really want a Sharia state?), that we should remember the numbers of deaths attributable to those ideologies. They said that there wereContinueContinue reading “Ideology & Knowledge”

Copernicus the Pragmatist

The early natural philosophers aimed to “save the appearances” with their epicycles, and epicycles upon epicycles, because if Aristotle was right that a circle was the most perfect shape, and that the celestial sphere was perfect, then it all the celestial objects had to be perfect circles and spheres. But there were some problems withContinueContinue reading “Copernicus the Pragmatist”
