Yes.God Exists

Yes. The Meddlesome Priest successfully defended #1. Belief in the existence of God is both rational and reasonable. #2. God is best understood as ENS QUA ENS (Being as Being), i.e. that Being, the nonexistence of which is impossible, otherwise nothing would exist. Ex nihil, nihil fit (from nothing, nothing comes to exist).


 My opponent is longtime colleague and friend in our philosophy department, professor Joseph White, who argued #1 God is a hypothesis that we no longer need becasue such ideas are old. #2. Something does come from nothing.

A Rockefeller Lost to Cannibals?

Mark McIntire Film Review: The Search for Michael Rockefeller What happens when you craft a film about a rich and sensitive young lad from an iconic American political family who disappears from the planet and it’s likely he was stabbed, beheaded and then ritually eaten by cannibals in 1968?  Better still, unlike any vampire flick, this one is true? Netflix just released such a documentary film, The Search for Michael Rockefeller, a Fraser C. Heston film from his independent studio Agamemnon Films. If you’re a fan of real unsolved mysteries as I am, then ROCKEFELLER is for you. I’ve watched it three times on NETFLIX and still cannot make up my mind about what actually happened to former Vice-President and Governor Nelson Rockefeller’s youngest boy, Michael. Heston’s film doesn’t solve the mystery. It meticulously and cleverly narrates the mystery letting you be the judge of the evidence. ROCKEFELLER is a powerful mystery with riveting twists and a dazzling WTF ending.

The Last Pope Is The Next Pope

What's next after the massive systemic cover-up of clerical pedophilia by the Catholic hierarchy? The next Geo-political earthquake is the unavoidable abolition of the Papacy itself. The Roman Catholic Church created the Papacy, and the Roman Catholic Church can abolish it. And, it will. Soon. The next Pope after octogenarian Francis I will be the last Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. Moreover, the word ‘Roman’ will be dropped from the brand name. Clerical offices of Cardinal, Archbishop and Bishop will also be extinguished. Local parish laity will choose their clerics who will be immediately accountable to them. Clerical pedophilia will soon have no place to hide. That last Pope will be from Africa. His name is Robert Cardinal Sarah of Guinea. Once elected, Cardinal Sarah will take the name ‘Pope Linus II’ after Pope Linus I the very first Pope if you exclude Saint Peter from the calculus of Popes.  There are several sound reasons why this will happen.You may recall my b

Trending Theophobia Therapy

Image
Theophobia : psychological fear of   G(g)ods   or   religion inciting irrational revulsion, rage, and even hatred against   them. Theophobes despise religious texts, artifacts, houses of worship. They are intolerant of people who believe in deities their symbols and images. Theophobes fantasize that any deity is an arbitrary, totalitarian, dictator, a menacing bogeyman floating in the sky ready to punish them. People with a long family history of religious faith or indoctrination are more likely to suffer from debilitating, delusional, and neurotic theophobia. As a card-carrying member of the liberal-progressive-Bolshevik-socialist-theophobe-Democrats (LPBSTD), I've decided to overcome my psychological illness known as theophobia. Doing so will preserve my mental health in two divisive debates today; homosexual divorce, and Climate Change. As a bonus, rejecting the popular trend called theophobia will raise my overall consciousness. Here’s how. I’ve always been in
