6/15/2010 11:04:00 PM Posted by EH. A philosophical essay written by Baron D'Holbach, otherwise known as Paul Henri Thiry, is one of the more significant works of atheist literature- At least during the Enlightenment. System of Nature. The one bit that stuck with me after reading parts of System of Nature. Was the opening paragraph of the book's preface:. What does this mean? Of our prejudices, according to our sense of truth and perception of reality, distort reality. Well, it's a bit of a tangent but I...

Life on the Hill: Drifting Toward Unschooling
http://ourfreerangelife.blogspot.com/2012/03/drifting-toward-unschooling.html
Life on the Hill. Wednesday, March 7, 2012. When I first researched homeschooling, I fell in love with the classical model presented in The Well-Trained Mind.

Life on the Hill. Tuesday, July 3, 2012. Born in the USA. When a whole nation is roaring Patriotism at the top of its voice, I am fain to explore the cleanness of its hands and purity of its heart. All that said, I am incredibly drawn to the secular values our nation was founded on. As I have begun reading the first chapters of Freethinkers: A History of American Secularism. Am I proud to be an American? There's a really great quote that's incorrectly attributed to Thomas Jefferson and that appears to ha...
