  • The Age of Human Arrogance, Part IV

    There comes a moment in every age when humanity must confront the mirror it has spent centuries avoiding. That mirror does not flatter us.

  • Of Monks and Oligarchs

    One of the things I have learned in my more than seven decades of life is that everything has its opposite. For instance, you wouldn’t know up if there was not also a down.

    Catholic Hysteria Against Pagans  What is wrong with a sacred tradition that attempts to predict the future? What dangers lurk for those who host feasts are not under Church approved?

  • Are We Having a God Problem?

    Hubble Spots Fireworks in Westerlund 2 (Image by NASA, ESA, the Hubble Heritage Team [STScI/AURA]) Is God not the ultimate human creation? The gods we inherited were designed for small populations, scattered across the earth, with narrow horizons. They concerned themselves with intimate details—how we ate, dressed, or made love.
