Three Pillars
This post is in response to some thought-provoking questions/comments posted by Mary regarding the translation of “The Three Pillars of Economics” on the Higher Law blog. I’m not trying to speak for the author of the blog, but I think Mary raises some interesting questions and makes some important observations. Since I’m never at a [...]
Who has the devil?
I’m kind of astonished about this phenomenon—more like an epidemic maybe—taking place among the critics of the Higher Law.
Take this one for example from “Mary’s Friend:”
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks, do we really need to pray about it?
That same sentiment is followed up by “Sean:”
In scripture it teaches [...]
No “Good” without God
I was catching up on some comments that have been posted on the Higher Law blog today and came across this particular one (#2) that made a statement that I’ve heard many times over the years. I’ve often thought to write a bit about this idea in general, so I figure this specific instance is [...]
Why Not?
I’ve been following a blog called The Higher Law recently. There has been much commentary on it by members of the LDS church regarding the intent of the blog and the movement behind it, and specifically regarding the author. Their contention is that the kind of revelatory direction claimed by the author, if it were [...]
The Challenge?
Ok, so obviously I never posted the challenge. I have my reasons for that, believe whatever you want. Someday I might revisit it when it’s time.
‘Nuff said.
The Challenge
In response to a challenge issued by my friend*, Craig, as part of our extended discussion at conservativefront.com, I’m working on a scientifically reproduceable process that any person can go through to prove that God exists. I guarantee that it works.
I had expected to have it ready by now, but I’ve decided to go big [...]
Socialism: The Engine of Economic Entropy
Even by my grossly over-simplified definition, entropy is the measure of the useless energy found in a system, useless energy being energy that is not available for doing work.
One of the great contributions that Newton provided for the world of science–the world in general, really–was the presentation of the Laws of Thermodynamics. The second of [...]
Friggin’ Islam
The fruits of the “grossly misunderstood and misrepresented religion of peace”* that is Islam sure bears some pretty rotten and corrupt fruit.
This is what happens when a culture of people are conditioned, by religion or politics or other, to devalue human life on a regular and systematic basis. In this case, and the case of [...]
Compelled Compassion
I’m back.
The recent comments by Barack Obama have been sufficient to wake me from a long hibernation in order that I may address the issue of distribution of wealth—i.e. socialism—that he espouses.
Recently I was involved in a conversation with a co-worker who is a legal citizen of America, but is originally from El Salvador. The [...]
Reason, Passion, and the Law
This blog is based on the notion that reason, free from passion, is dead. In other words, reason has no longevity in the search for truth without the motivating force of passion. It’s passion that drives, reason that guides. Contrary to Aristotle’s assertion that the law is “reason free from passion,” reason [...]
