War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

Heretical views arise when the truth is uncertain, and it is only when the truth is uncertain that censorship is invoked. The argument against the persecution of opinion does not depend upon what the excuse for persecution may be. The argument is that we, not one of us, know all truth, that the discovery of new truth is promoted by free discussion and rendered very difficult by suppression.

All knowledge of the Earth is derived from sensory data.

If there were on the Earth today any large number of humans who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years.

We do not know objects directly, inwardly, only indirectly, outwardly, through sensory data.

In all affairs it’s a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.

Sentences may be not only true or false but meaningless because of inconsistent uses of language patterns.

When the State intervenes to insure the indoctrination of some doctrine, it does so because there is no conclusive evidence in favor of that doctrine.

It is clear that thought is not free if the profession of certain opinions make it impossible to earn a living.

Dogma demands authority, rather than intelligent thought, as the source of opinion; it requires persecution of heretics and hostility to unbelievers; it asks of its disciples that they should inhibit natural kindness in favor of systematic hatred.

Bertrand Russell, Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell, British logician, philosopher, mathematician and author

Knowledge by acquaintance (experience) and knowledge by description were introduced by Bertrand Russell to designate two fundamentally different types of knowledge.

An example of knowledge by acquaintance (experience):

Orson is justified in believing that he is in pain if he is directly and immediately acquainted with hispain. Not if Orson makes an inference regarding his pain ("I must be in pain because my arm is bleeding"), but feels it as an immediate sensation ("My arm hurts!"). This direct contact with the fact and the knowledge that this fact makes a proposition true is what is meant with knowledge by acquaintance (experience).

Every other type of knowledge is knowledge by description.

George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde

This web site is not a commercial web site and is presented for educational purposes only.

This website defines a new religious ideology to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has created a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of the religion aptly named The Truth of the Way of Life - a rational religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with God through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of Life are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a “hate crime.”

This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already controls the world central banking system, mass media worldwide, the industrial military entertainment complex of America and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on cooperation. Cooperation does not occur at the point of a gun.

American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general through mass media by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior mass media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.

All views and opinions presented on this web site are the views and opinions of individual human men and women that, through their writings, showed the capacity for intelligent, reasonable, rational, insightful and unpopular thought.
