On the need for an Active, Aware God

15 Dec 201524 May 2018

On Moral Absolutes

15 Dec 201524 May 2018
Goldstein’s 16th argument – that morality exists outside of our existence, hence God exists – has a flaw that I don’t believe is covered under the listed flaws. One thought…

On the Folly of Paschal’s Wager

15 Dec 201524 May 2018
Goldstein’s 31st argument, named Paschal’s Wager, sounds reasonable on the surface. The gist is that it is safer to believe in God “just in case” because the upside is greater…

SITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION

I (we, actually) have multiple blogs, and at the moment most of my/our attention is going to a different blog, called the clicky space. Here is a link to the clicky space homepage.

Everything on Strangeland except the Bobbi Project (I think) is also on the clicky space. We hope to see you there!
