Note: This is just a series of loose thoughts written out more or less as they come, presented in the hopes that someone will find something worthwhile within them. Our society despises beauty. This may sound surprising, given how much we hear about overvaluing of physical appearance, impossible beauty standards in media, and the rest … Continue reading Second Meditation: On Beauty

To say you are Pro-This or Pro-That, or Anti-The other is to say precisely nothing about the actual content of your position: it is merely your opinion about your own opinion.
First Meditation: God the Creator
Note: This is just a series of loose thoughts written out more or less as they come, presented in the hopes that someone will find something worthwhile within them.

Thought While Reading the Summa
At our judgment, we will not only see God, but we will see His idea of us: the exemplar after which He created us. In other words, we will see with perfect clarity not only what we were in life, but what we were meant to be. For many, that knowledge will be a major … Continue reading Thought While Reading the Summa

How does it know to go after the tarantula, sting it, bury it, … Continue reading A Startling Conclusion

Why Relativism is Intolerant
I don't know about you, but I can't help noticing that people who argue that truth or morality are relative tend to be much more intolerant than those who adhere to the idea of objective values. The tolerance they boast of is purely specific: that they don't object to certain given acts (e.g. homosexuality) that … Continue reading Why Relativism is Intolerant
