It has been suggested that each of us have our own “values” which we live by, and failing to live in accord with these values is wrong.  Scripture contrast human wisdom with God's wisdom.

“Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised?

“…casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” (I Peter 5:7 NKJV) There is great heaviness in worry and fear, dreading the future over what may go wrong.

The theory is that the Corporation charter limits its purpose to operating a specified business or in the case of non-profits a charitable purpose. In my experience certain Corporations have done… Continue reading A Soulless Entity →

I was thinking about a person who epitomizes triumph of human achievement in this world. I consulted the soulless entity (AI) for a person who had written and sang a hit song; been a successful athlete; was elected to public office; acted in a hit movie; became rich and was considered a beautiful person. Jared Leto… Continue reading The Human Champion →
