This is a follow-on from my previous article. So I drew the conclusion that I couldn’t be a philosophical anarchist, at least a philosophically consistent one, with the following reasoning. Anarchism comes from two Greek particles, “an-” meaning “no, not, without,” a negation, and “archos” meaning “a ruler.” So it means no rulers. God is […]

Saved by faith
A commenter on my blog helped further open my eyes to the position of Rambam on how a Gentile gets a place in the world to come. I’ll quote a translation of Rambam’s words here, then I’ll tell you how I used to view it and then the view that seems to be more compelling […]
When I left Christianity, I left the idolatrous elevation of a man, whether it be Jesus or Paul. I wanted to obey God and his primary revelation in the Jewish Bible, the Torah. Throughout the path from there to where I am now, I developed a lot of skepticism. I looked for the foundation of […]
When reading some of my posts, some have been startled or surprised by the position I take with regards to the application of the seven laws for humanity. When I judge governments, cops, political systems and the such by those divine laws, when I keep putting the laws forward as the proper basis for international […]

Should I stay or should I go?
I had waned in a way, grown colder. I had had a number of negative reactions and had begun to wonder about my place on social media. Why was I even there? It felt like many had closed their ears to me and I was shouting into the wind. When my wife said she had […]

But as I’m sure you may […]

Personal opinion: I must never forget…
This doesn’t have anything to do with the Seven Laws for Gentiles. But I felt strongly about recording my present thoughts. ———- I must never forget that government schools are still a form of forceful control. For all the good people, the well-meaning people, that may work there, I still send my children there under […]
Now a secular society, a group that aims to be secular, must reject, yes, reject claims about God’s truth, his law and morality. At the very least, such ideas must be promoted as just being for private, within one’s home or just an individual subjective thing. While these thoughts are shoved into corners or actual […]

Made a new enemy
I’m going to try something new with this one. I’m just going to flow, meaning that I’m just going to talk out this article and see how it goes. The amazing thing about having an iPhone is that its speech to text functionality is really quite easy to use. So here goes. So yes, it […]
It’s like I live in a paradox. The Great Transcendent, the Supreme Being, he forms me, gives me life, provides for me day after day. I’ve got the essentials and so many luxuries in life. People in other parts of the legal fiction town I live in, the landmass, other parts of the world would […]
