A Return to Reason and Sanity

The rational truth of God, the immortality of the soul, and the natural law as the foundation of ethics and morality presented as the antidote to the irrationality of the "new atheism", moral relativism, and cultural subjectivsim of our age. Your civil, courteous, and thoughtful comments and ideas are welcome. This blog is a forum to discuss ideas not personalities. Thank you.

New Look - New Sharper Focus

Welcome to my redesigned and re-focused blog.  The new design and the new title for the blog "Quid est Veritas?" highlights a rethinking of my efforts thus far.

In this blog, I want to address head on some of the fundamental philosophical (and theological) ideas that have not only been called into question by modern Western society - but have been flat out rejected - a rejection that has had serious implications for our culture and society.

In this blog, I will positively show that man can arrive at the knowledge of the existence of God, that man has an immortal soul, and that the natural law is the true basis of human morality and ethics.  Concurrently, I will show the irrationality (indeed the insanity) of the so called "new atheism" (which isn't really new), modern moral relativism, cultural subjectivism, and extreme materialism so characteristic of 21st century Western culture.

I invite your comments, arguments, and ideas so long as they are thoughtfully, civilly expressed.  I will make every effort to avoid overly polemical statements and ask my readers to do so as well.

Finally, ad hominem arguments are probably the weakest of all - not to mention the most distasteful.  Any such statments or arguments will be removed from the blog.

Thank you.  I look forward to your comments.
