The Indispensability of Theological Meta-Ethical Foundations for Morality “Finally, on the theistic hypothesis, God holds all persons morally accountable for their actions. Evil and wrong will be punished; righteousness will be vindicated. Good ultimately triumphs over evil, and we shall finally see that we do live in a moral universe after all.

I don't see things as possible. I see things as PLAUSIBLE. From the evidence, Epistemological reasoning, and Ontological data, it's extremely Plausible that a Supernatural causal ante...
When Empiricism Becomes Tyranny
Epistemic Autocracy In the past, the elite manipulated the population through a more mystical belief system. In particular, there was the institution of Sun worship (typified by deities such as Osiris and Set). However, as antiquity gave way to modern history, this system of control began to lose its effectiveness. During the sixteenth century, the ruling class managed to co-opt a relatively new methodology of truth discernment…Science. Over the years, they would contaminate this institution with their own virulent strains of thought, including Metaphysical Naturalism, Radical Empiricism, Malthusianism, Darwinism, Behaviorism, Radical Environmentalism, etc. Many of these paradigms were derivative of their own occult doctrines, thinly veiled to appear as objective science. All of these concepts correlat...
