1. You Must To Be Couragious

Thomas Less, 11/12/201511/17/2015

Courage To Seek

“Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities… because it is the quality which guarantees all others.” Winston Churchill

So why do you need courage to simply consider the possibility of God…or Not God?

Because you can make either choice, to believe or not believe, because that choice is the easy way out.  Moreover, almost everyone who makes a choice, thinks everyone who chose the opposite is “taking the …

Thomas Less, 02/22/201604/05/2016

The_Devil_(1921)_-_Ad_1The Devil is in the details, and the more details, the more Devil.

We’ve all seen it happen. Someone tells a lie, then they have to tell a lie to support that lie,and then…and then… and then… Most of us in day-to-day life can spot when this happens.
