In the previous philosophical series, Developmental Theology 089, we talked about very basic ideas that can help develop an open mind, and teach us how to create our own philosophical views, overlooking prior prejudices.

A few weeks ago I asked on my blog and on twitter for Humanists willing to discuss their belief system. I was pleasantly surprised when Ryan Sutter, webmaster of humanistsofmn.org, contacted me.

This is the 21st section of my novel. If you haven’t read the first 20, you might want to start here. Electric Lights —- Minus was aware that he was unconscious. He knew he was seeing his past. He saw the memory from the third-person. He was shocked when he heard his own voice begin [...]

Today being the wonderful and dreadful February the 14th, made me tihnk I should talk about Saint Valentine a little. The Saint Valentine that we celebrate this day for is, oddly enough, unremarkable. Almost nothing is known of the man, other than his burial place.
