Forbidden Territory

The central theme of this blog is a spiritual one and seeks to couple the two cardinal faculties of mankind, faith and reason, into a seamless, mutually supporting philosophy. I believe we have succeeded; the ebooks and articles on http://timeoftheend-faithandreason.net are the result of over thirty-four years of investigation. We have applied mathematical precision to this task: that any argument put forth in these writings submit to the principal law of Mathematics, i.e. if it is a logical, understandable part of the whole ( like a piece in a jigsaw puzzle ) then then the structure holds; otherwise the entire project is flawed. The basic mathematical law I refer to states that a given Truth must hold in every conceivable instance of application: if there is but a single exception, the argument is either a conditional truth ( a reality ), or it is outrightly false.
One might ask; why bother with all this? And, quite honestly, there was a time when I couldn't have answered this question. I didn't know why this interest captured my attention so completely, except that it was exciting and fun! The actual work was sporadic, depending upon the nature and means by which the bits and pieces came to my attention, but it was always on my mind. I can't account for this except to say that I have ( had ) the sens of being taken over by some warm and loving power that seemed to be guiding my every move. As time went on and I got to see the elegant logic and beauty of this work I became willing ot be led no matter where this journey would take me.
I'm not a mystic. Didn't see Jesus, my head is not bathed in light, and the only visions I can claim are those that anyone with imagination can easily identify. This has been a purely intellectual pursuit, but over time it has given me a new faith, a new understanding, and a boundless love of life. And all this with a sense of humor. A friend once asked me if I truly love evrything. To which I replied, "I love every scorpion in the Mojave Desert." My friend looked puzzled and asked why. "Because they stay in the Mojave Desert!"
To clear up another point: I am not interested in saving the world. I have pursued this interest out of the growing belief that this is my prupose in life. It's for my spiritual advancement; I only wish to share it with others who are seeking an alternative to the Ignorance and Superstition that is at the heart of most religious belief. I recognize that there are people who are so steeped in traditional "christian" dogma that they will reject outright any and all of the ideas I represent. Fine! These people are locked up behind a wall of prejudice, drummed into their heads from earliest childhood and presented to them by self-styled authorities who ladle out a witch's brew of love and fear. And to ensure its survival the authorities have advanced the idea that it is wrong to question their beliefs, yet it is quite all right to question, even attack the beliefs of those who do not agree with them. It's called missionary work, sort of a spitiual "regime change." Of course the real reason for the ban on discussing religious matters with such as these is that it's many contradictions pose questions that have no answers. Better they not be asked.
My position is this: visit the website, read what's there, and question it to your heart's content. If this philosophy has any merit it will stand on its own; no smoke and mirros, no evasions, no convoluted explanations: just simple, straightforward facts that you can verify for yourself. Actually, I owe a debt to the "christians"; they've been handing out Bibles all over the place. Now all it takes is to open the book and read what it says, without the fancy dancing of selective interpretation. Do this and you may find that;
The Exodus was actually a reign of terror,
The Israelites didn't want to leave Egypt,
Moses was not a great teacher but a harried underling,
Isaiah did not predict the birth of Jesus, and
Jesus isn't coming back.
This is only a very short list of the truths contained in the Time of the End. Read it and maybe we can head off the fabatics who are so convinced of their noxious and oppressive belief systems that they are actively working to bring the Battle of Armageddon about. They do not for a moment believe they are wrong; and that isn't faith: it's ideaology. It isn't Truth.
The Time of the End? Could be all wrong, but that's for you to decide.
