Tumblr Errors
I find myself frequenting this site less and less. I am so sick of the times I attempt to access the website and I get the ridiculous errors. Coupled with the fact that my favorite features of the site (the queue, and the “publish on”) are always bugging out.

Serve in Heaven?
So the consensus on Christian views of “Heaven” and “Hell” are that believers go to Heaven and spend eternity worshiping their deity.  Non-believers go to Hell and spend eternity being punished for their failure to believe and obey. Does this not strike anyone else as a bit egotistical and totalitarian?  God makes a bunch of these creatures named humans, then demands that...

continuum: Voters favor cuts to balance the budget — yet they object to most of the cuts that could be made, a Los Angeles Times/USC Poll shows. A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From...

Anti-Libertarian Presidents →
Deciding which politician to support has long been frustrating for libertarians. Both the liberal and conservative perspectives conflict with cherished libertarian views, so few Democrats or Republicans present a package that libertarians can embrace with enthusiasm. Libertarians do find common ground with conservatives on some issues, and with liberals on others. Roughly, libertarians are...
