Eating soup

The law as a tool to influence cultural morality is as an effective tool as using a fork to eat soup. You stab it and stab it with very little success at the ultimate goal. The same could be said about organized religion. Albeit slightly more effective at gathering a crowd, the nature of religious cultural coercion has the same underlying problem, it is the antitheses of the voluntary essence of morality. You may coerce behavior with the threat of punishment, but you cannot coerce good will. Morality is not an action that can be coerced. Morality is good will, where action is the natural expression of a cooperative desire. The spoon cooperates with the soup and sip by sip fills the empty stomach.

Worth What You Paid

It has come to my attention that some of my previous writings and postings to Facebook have been met with some criticism in regards to the serious nature of their content. While they were offered in a spirit of conviviality and a desire to generate a meaningful interactive conversation it seams that I have misconstrued the purpose of the Facebook Social Structure. Not wanting to make too many waves I am beginning this blog to be able to offer my thoughts while not imposing them on my Facebook friends and acquaintances.

The subjects will be as wide ranging as my interests are. You are welcome to comment, criticize, and debate.

I do not care what you think. I only care that you do.

Your opinion is only your opinion
My opinion is only my opinion.

And opinions are only........
