What if “this is it”? What if there is no soul that carries on beyond death. You die and you are dead, from that point no awareness, no consciousness, just nothing… a nothing you are not even aware of. Life would be considered precious. Religion offers the promise of eternal life. Paradise without end. At…

Humans do not need science, or actively reject it, when emotions override reason. Although society will not permit me to be frank, there are many instances where groups have insisted on acceptance, and even though science has not proven their existence, they demand it.

Human society possesses surprising diversity. There are humans that I have been taught to believe normal, then there are many variations. Normal has always been, in my experiences, a heterosexual relationship, committed by the rite of marriage, to the formation of a family. This seems to provide great benefit, especially to those couples who would…
