My name is Chad and my goal for participating is to find interesting philosophical and theological questions. For me the questions are more important than the answers when reflecting on the nature of reality, our place in the world, and relationship to each other. My general philosophy follows the neo-Platonic tradition which I apply to the theology of Emmanuel Swedenborg. Among Catholics, mainline Protestants, and Evangelicals, that makes me a heretic. I have no interest in defending those doctrines. If I decide to participate in political discussions I will do so from the perspective of a Pro-Life Libertarian.

hello
Welcome aboard amigo.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

"New church"? And just when I thought the old one was beginning to die out
 Welcome... Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
  Quote:In Life on Other Planets, Swedenborg stated that he conversed with spirits from Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Venus, and the moon. He did not report conversing with spirits from Uranus and Neptune, which were not yet discovered. ~ Wikipedia Pretty much sums it up. |
