The Philosophical
Junk Drawer
I am a person who has always sought truth through understanding. I’ve read and listened to thousands of arguments over the years, but I’ve found many of them lacking “something.” This is a place to explore those same ideas, but in ways that make sense to me… (and maybe people like me.)
It’s all public format so that others can read and process; then push back, debate, correct, and teach me. I expect to make copious mistakes as I attempt to form new arguments and explanations, but hope that somewhere along the way, the net-net of it all is a small step forward in the logic and understanding of being human… if only my own.
Unlike most people discussing faith, I’m not seeking to “prove” or “disprove” my Christianity… I’m only seeking truth in all its forms. It just so happens that it keeps coming back to God.
