Faith + Evidence = Integrity

May6

Truth and knowledge must begin with questions. Lack of qualified discernment creates hypocrisy and ignorance.

So… What is faith?

Perhaps it is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen /1.

What about evidence? Does faith require proof for an ultimate truth?

It occurs to me that asking the hard questions takes more courage than yielding to the common belief. I am more comfortable when faith meets truth. And, it is the search for this credibility factor that generates my own sense of integrity.

Peace be to my Brothers and Sisters.

What’s All This About?

"What am I looking at?", you might wonder.

Lots of stuff.

Meanwhile, here, I discuss events, people and things in our world - and, my (hardly simplistic, albeit inarticulate) views around them.

You'll also learn things about, well, things, like people you need to know about, and information about companies you can't find anywhere else.

So, while I harangue the public in my not so gentle way, you will discover that I am fascinated by all things arcane, curious about those whom appear religious, love music, dabble in politics, loathe the media, value education, still think I am an athlete, and might offer a recipe.

All the while, striving mightily, and daily, to remain a prudent and optimistic gentleman - and, authentic.
