The Greatest Problem In The Universe (Part Two)

From the last post..... Unjust violence must eventually be answered with justified violence. This applies not just to murder, but also to some lesser crimes. In law enforcement, this is known as using the appropriate level of force to stop the criminal in the act. Nothing else will enforce moral... Sign in to see full entry.

The Greatest Problem In The Universe (Part One)

All this fuss about Muslims is wearing me out. I must retreat now to my inner sanctum, my safe house, my mantra of meditation, my place of pleasure, and that is moral philosophy. I also hope that this is of some service to you: The Greatest Problem in the Universe It takes years of experience and... Sign in to see full entry.

Socrates, Father of Liberalism and Other Disasters-- PART 2

From PART 1--.....And it will not work, because the basic premises are completely false. Evil has almost nothing to do with ignorance. Evil is moral choice, a choice to be a self-serving, abusive, destructive predator upon other humans. The young Muslim punks will take everything that stupid people... Sign in to see full entry.

Socrates, Father of Liberalsim and Other Disasters

Enough for now about Muslims. I am getting tired of Muslims, and I am sure they are getting tired of me (if any were reading). In this post, I return to my favorite subject, philosophy. I think that it is the most important subject in the world and in our personal lives. I have my own flavor and... Sign in to see full entry.

Christian Love VS Islamic Love

I thought about putting this post in Religion and Spirituality, but the struggle against Islam has become very much a political one, and cultural, and military, so this post belongs here just as much as there. Actually this post belongs in the category of Philosophy, which I have asked for many... Sign in to see full entry.

The First 3 Centuries

A glaring difference between Christianity and Islam is the history of their first three centuries. Can we judge a religion by its actions in its first three centuries? I think we can judge it well by the first century alone, but by three centuries the mold is definitely cast. The intentions and... Sign in to see full entry.

Violent Verses from the Hadith

The Koran is not the only important source of scriptures in Islam. The sayings of Mohammed himself, on his own authority, are carefully chronicled in the “Hadith.” The Prophet used to sit and talk with his Companions in a circle. His sayings and actions were carefully noted and memorized. Thousands... Sign in to see full entry.

The Verse of The Sword

The Jihadists and other hateful Muslims have plenty of scholarly justification for their violence, bigotry, and persecution of others. According to the highest Islamic legal scholars over many generations, there is a Law of Abrogation (cancellation), which says that certain verses in the Koran take... Sign in to see full entry.

A Bit More Concerning Mohammed

Should I post this, or not??? I struggled with this question for a while. I am reluctant to continue in this thread of thought, because the risk is unknown, but potentially fatal. If any Muslim radical predators read our writings here, and could figure out how to find us, they would find us and kill... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

The world is moving faster and getting more extreme in every direction... Aristotle (my favorite philosopher) would have us seek the middle ground, his Golden Mean of moderation between extremes. To do so, we must first identify the extremes... so here I go.
