God

 If there is no #God, life and death are meaningless as they are without purpose or consequence. The how and the why are worthless pursuits.

It is impossible to accept this synopsis because to do so would mean that everything (the universe and all that it is) is for nothing. To believe that it evolved by mere chance, came from nothing, means nothing and is of no consequence, is too stretch logic to breaking point.

Everything that happens everywhere, whether it be the birth and destruction of stars or galaxies, or the way we and all living things live and die has purpose and meaning. To suggest then that the Cosmos from which life evolved is not imbued with the same meaning and purpose that is demonstrated in everything we see is to admit that logic itself is meaningless.

That makes even less sense than believing in God. If science is based on logic then science has nowhere to go since the Universe itself is apparently without logic.

A Pittance

Nothing worth a pittance will ever come from a philosophy, of spin, half truths and outright deceit

Political hypocricy

 Political hypocricy and double standards will never engender anything but a loss of respect for its practitioners

Fundamental truth

One cannot find fulfillment in superficiality nor enlightenment without struggle.

Future in the past

The future is written by what has gone before and can only be changed by what we do in the present.

Common interest is self interest

Obama et al when will you understand that national interest is only assured if the common interest is served first? This must be a self evident truth to anyone who cares to give it some thought?

Labour Party take note!

Will the Labour Party in general and Mr Ed Balls in particular please note today's further reduction in Ireland's credit rating. House prices in Ireland are down 50-70%. Jobs are at a premium and migration is at it's highest for 30 years. That is why cuts to public services are obligatory unless we wish to follow suit.

That's the nature of things!

When things are going right, they can only go wrong and visa versa. That's the nature of life.
