about theseus
Once you have the Truth, the rest is just cheap whiskey.
He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord. Psalm 40:2-3
CHRISTUS VINCIT
CHRISTUS REGNAT
CHRISTUS IMPERAT
"We ought to be persuaded that the propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself has ordained." George Washington
"Is there a possibility, that the government of nations may fall into the hands of men, who teach the most disconsolate of all creeds, that men are but fire-flies, and that this all is without a father? Is this the way, to make man, as man, an object of respect? Or is it, to make murder itself, as indifferent as shooting a plover, and the extermination of the Rohilla nation, as innocent, as the swallowing of mites, on a morsel of cheese?" - John Adams, Discourses on Davila
THE MODERN "BED OF PROCRUSTES"
PROCRUSTES, or "the Stretcher," was the surname of one POLYPEMON, a Greek highway robber, whose amiable habit was to stretch or shorten the bodies of travelers who fell into his hands, so as to make them of the same length as a certain bed of his upon which it was his desire to tie them. It seems the bed of multiculturalism has been around for a long time. (Source: Punch Magazine)
"To that comfortless bed where you'd have them all bound,
As the travellers luckless who fell in the way
Of the old Attic highwayman THESEUS did slay.
Though your voice may sound loud and your thews look immense,
You may fall to the THESEUS—of Free Common Sense!"
THE VILLAGE ATHEIST/SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY
Edgar Lee Masters (1868-1950)
YE YOUNG DEBATERS over the doctrine
Of the soul's immortality
I who lie here was the village atheist,
Talkative, contentious, versed in the arguments
Of the infidels.
But through a long sickness
Coughing myself to death
I read the Upanishads and the poetry of Jesus.
And they lighted a torch of hope and intuition
And desire which the Shadow,
Leading me swiftly through the caverns of darkness,
Could not extinguish.
Listen to me, ye who live in the senses
And think through the senses only:
Immortality is not a gift,
Immortality is an achievement;
And only those who strive mightily
Shall possess it.

You'd think a guy with a PhD could figure that out. Don't know if it's sad or scary.

It happened by pure accident but it seems to be working. I had left a piece of untreated scrap wood against my deck. They seem quite content boring into it and have left my deck alone.

Agreed.
Objectivism as it relates to the ideas of a civilized government and dealing with reality suits me just fine because it seeks verifiable truths.
In keeping with the individual theme, my belief is between ME and MY God.
I believe that to deny the spirit is to deny the man.
There is nothing more sad or desperate than self delusion.
