Agnosticism, Tolerance and Perceptions of Reality

August 29th, 2012

By Dan Miller Many who visit my blog are Christians or Jews. Although I have occasionally mentioned that I am an Agnostic, it seems appropriate to explain why and what that means to me.

Are We, Our Candidates and Our Elections Racist?

July 24th, 2012

At about the same time, I suggested that Senator Obama was saying some things other politicians weren’t saying but should. Some of […]
