Who is a True Inquirer?
Remember when humans thought the Earth was the center of the Universe? Supposedly this was a god given fact. The Catholic Church had been teaching this for centuries. And I'm sure it made men feel quite good about themsleves. After all, they were the most important things in the Universe. What...

A little Thought on Truth & Faith
"On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everthing that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots-what is considered truth in the circle of one's relaties and of many good men, and what, moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more...

A Little Tidbit from Neitzche
I recently purchased The Portable Neitzche from Barnes and Nobles. It contains his four most recognized books-Thus Spake Zarathustra, Twilight of the Idols, The Antichrist and Neitzche Contra Wagner.

What's so Special About a Stiff?
Everytime I drive by a graveyard I think of all the space that is wasted. Why do we insist on wasting so much money on a corpse? Thousands are spent on a extravagent coffin that a dead person will never enjoy. And then there's the little plot of ground that's reserved for him or her. Oh and don't...

Should we allow religious courses in public schools?
I just ran across an article about a religous course based on the bible apparently offered across the country. The course paints the bible as inspired by God, bases science on the bible's creation account, teaches that Jesus fulfilled all Old Testament prophecy and considers the Bible to be...

Six Feet Deep
Verse 1 You held your hands on my head, Said you could save my soul, Well I’ve been through the fire And was cleansed without your help.
