Death is perhaps the most depressing, avoided topic that any of could think of to discuss. In fact, of the hours of Sam Harris talks I’ve listened to, I admit I stayed away from this one for quite awhile, due to the title. However I’m glad I finally took the plunge – you’ll (hopefully, as…

Read MoreThe DOMA Ruling – A victory for progress.
I would be lying if I said there wasn’t some satisfaction in seeing all of these religious fanatics utterly devastated about the DOMA ruling today. Comments like “The DOMA ruling has now made the normalization of polygamy, pedophilia, incest and bestiality inevitable. Matter of time.” from American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer and statements that the…

Think of this for a second…picture your bank account being credited with $86,400 every single morning. But, at the end of each day, it resets back to zero and you get another $86,400 to start the next morning all over again. What would you do? Would you only use half of it and let the…
