An inquiry into the rational roots of truth, ethics, and religious belief. Wednesday, August 15, 2012. So much to live for. That's what they say. What, exactly, is there to live for? A slow fading of mental and physical faculties as the body takes what vitality it once gave? Perhaps it's the future atrocities the human race will commit? The idiotic rhetoric of future pundits as they debate future decisions? Why is it that the beautiful produced by humanity is the product of minds most in anguish? Never m...

An inquiry into the rational roots of truth, ethics, and religious belief. Wednesday, November 28, 2012. We Win, Now What? This is something my mom and I talked about that I've been chewing on a while. You might as well call the "Pride Cycle" the "Boredom Cycle.". We talked about the effect this has today. More young people are moving back home with their parents. They don't know what to do with their lives. Is it that people became lazy all of a sudden? Do we all believe in the war on terror? When I am ...

No Answers: Truth is Dead
http://descentintonihilism.blogspot.com/2013/04/truth-is-dead.html
An inquiry into the rational roots of truth, ethics, and religious belief. Wednesday, April 3, 2013. I could go on, but in short: more information is available to more people than ever dreamed of by our ancestors, and it can travel around the world in a fraction of a second without any significant cost. Not to mention the amalgam of phisolophical thought from the last 10,000 years, which is just a drop in this ocean of information. Why do we defend those beliefs that are most suspect more than any others?

No Answers: EVERY HUMAN DESERVES EQUAL RIGHTS
http://descentintonihilism.blogspot.com/2013/04/every-human-deserves-equal-rights.html
An inquiry into the rational roots of truth, ethics, and religious belief. Friday, April 5, 2013. EVERY HUMAN DESERVES EQUAL RIGHTS. But, day by day, I start questioning what those rights are. Voting? Justice demands only that humans be treated fairly and equally, but maybe that means we all just deserve pain and death. In fact, the quickest way to satisfy justice after humanity's many hideous acts is probably to kill everyone. This is incidentally also the best way to end human suffering.

No Answers: Answers to Prayer
http://descentintonihilism.blogspot.com/2013/05/answers-to-prayer.html
An inquiry into the rational roots of truth, ethics, and religious belief. Friday, May 17, 2013. Then, there was this dude who prayed "God, give me a sign if you don't want me to rob this liquor store." Nothing happened for 10 min, so he broke in and stole the cash box as well as a couple of bottles of whiskey for himself. God answers prayers! Seriously, I understand not wanting to grant every frivolous request, but if god is a personal god, you'd think he'd be a bit more personal. We don't expect ou...

An inquiry into the rational roots of truth, ethics, and religious belief. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. It's been a while since I've written here, and I just came back and read some of my posts and am struck with how different I feel these days. I'm no optimist or anything, but I no longer feel the same as I did when writing as my pessimistic and angry past posts. Maybe I'll be there again, but for now I feel okay with living, and I feel that way pretty consistently. What has precipitated this change?

An inquiry into the rational roots of truth, ethics, and religious belief. Tuesday, July 9, 2013. Oh Say, What is Truth. My bishop approached me recently, telling me that he feels it is time for me to return to church. He is a kind and loving man who I know has nothing but the purest and best intentions toward me. His encouragement to think it over has given me occasion to review my beliefs and priorities, and I thought I would organize my thoughts here a little before replying to him. But enough about m...

An inquiry into the rational roots of truth, ethics, and religious belief. Sunday, September 30, 2012. I find that my blog makes me more self-conscious at times. For some strange reason, I actually get comments on most of my posts, and that indicates to me that people read them! While this gratifies me, it terrifies me, too. Every time I get a positive comment, I think "Awesome! Then I'll be extra NOT cool! Not that I don't want positive comment, please, praise me! Oh noooo, somebody doesn't like me!
