In what appears to have become the inescapable “issue” of gay marriage, much has been said, of sorts, in trying to put a definitive answer on whether or not such a union should occur.
While it has been understood that “religious” people would generally not be in favor of such a union, it had never occurred [...]

Deus Ex Ludus, God by the Game

I’ve always joked somewhat unthinkingly that running a Dungeons and Dragons game must be a lot like being God.
It was only when I started explaining it to Jill in the car last night that it occurred to me how much more there was to the analogy.
Of the numerous unconventional things you’d expect from our church, [...]
Question #4: is Belief in God Rational?

Reggie asks,
“Is a belief in God rational or irrational?”
But before we get into this question, let us be sure we know what we are about. We are attempting to attribute a property (that of rationality; or else, irrationality) to a particular idea (the belief in God). In this we have two qualify two things: what [...]
Question #3: What is the Most Important Thing In Life?

It always happens when you make plans that things go wrong. Updating should continue without further glitches.
My old Polymate Jennifer asks,
“Write about what you feel is the one most important thing in life.”
My answer, “Truth” will be expected by many, probably, but the far more interesting question remains: “Why?”
Ever since I have been very young, [...]
Anslem Meets Jess: More Truth and Subjectivity
Posted in Existentialism and Authenticity, God and Theology, tagged Anselm, Argument, conversations, God, Jess, ontological, proofs, restaurant, subjectivity, theology, Truth on 12 August, 2008 | 2 Comments »
The restaurant industry is a fast and free-flowing universe, with countless comments, jokes, implications, scattered conversations, and random observations lost amongst the crevices of time in between running food and taking orders.
It started with me bragging that I could prove God with a simple six-step proof in an undeniable way. I was very smug and [...]

It was a gloomy day sometime in 1640, or at least, I like to imagine it was a gloomy, quiet day in Europe when Descartes, dressed still in his nightgown, sat down in front of his softly cackling fireplace and drew his ink bottle and paper towards him to compose the Meditations on First Philosophy.

Atheism or Morality: What’ll it Be?
Posted in Ethics, God and Theology, Philosophy in General, tagged atheist, athiesm, being atheist, existentialism, France, God, Jean-Paul Sartre, Sartre, The Humanism of Existentialism on 23 December, 2007 | 10 Comments »
People talk about rights all the time; about good and evil, about right and wrong, about what one “ought” to do. Whatever society, whatever culture, wherever you go, everyone alway has something to say on the matter. The problem with this is that many of these people are atheist. But, of course, to them, [...]
Understanding God in One Easy Step
Posted in Christianity, God and Theology, tagged atheism, Christianity, CS Lewis, God, love, peace, The Screwtape Letters, Truth on 7 December, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Lately, it seems to have become fashionable to use the nature of God as an argument against God. It runs something like this:
“If there is a God, how can you claim to know the mind of God? How can any one human being understand the nature of something so infinite and incomprehensible?”
Like most incorrect [...]

Writing Scholarship essays, registering for Winter classes, and eating three solid meals a day is taking priority right now. In the near future, however, I plan to explore the following topics, and maybe splice in some posts from my old blogs.
(In no particular order)
1) Atheists Unite and Other Mundane Ethical Statements
2) Going to Hell? We’ve [...]
