Mike S. Adams: Life and how to live it: "1. If you want to be happy and successful, you must immediately disabuse yourself of the notion that there is no such thing as good and evil.
If, for some reason, this is difficult for you to do, take the time to visit the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. If that still does not convince you, take the time to visit Auschwitz.
2. You must also immediately disabuse yourself of the notion that good and evil are simply relative terms. There are moral absolutes and they have absolutely nothing to do with your personal feelings and perceptions.
It should be noted that people who claim to believe in moral relativism are just lying in order to make themselves appear to be morally superior to others. Their actual belief in moral absolutism is revealed when, at some point, they openly proclaim that there are no absolutes. If everything is relative, the philosophy of moral relativism can't be absolutely true.
3. Take some time every day to fine-tune your understanding of the difference between right and wrong.
Recently, a good friend of mine lost his mother to cancer. He later made a casual suggestion about the need for some sort of handbook, which could be used to sort out the difficult problems and answer the difficult questions one encounters in life.
Fortunately, such a handbook exists. It is called the Holy Bible.
No one can call himself educated if he has not read the Bible at least once. Even after several readings of the Bible some things will remain unclear. Some questions will remain unanswered. Nonetheless, upon every reading of the Bible, greater wisdom is gained. After all, life is a journey. It is not a destination.
By the same token, one should never go to a psychologist or any other counselor who is a self-proclaimed atheist or agnostic. I cannot think of a single important ... "

I find this guy to be a pompous A-hole. Calling any group of people (in this case, feminists) "not very bright" is an ignorant and bigoted view. Anyone who takes themselves too seriously should be shot. Or not. I don't really care. Because I don't take myself too seriously.
This guy's arguments are full of fallacies and subjective rhetoric. He assumes, as I'm sure he believes, that the bible is a moral compass. Most of the people in this world do NOT believe the bible is a moral compass nor even a historical text... but in his small mind this doesn't matter. HE knows the truth, and other people don't.
I do agree with him, however, that he WAS being harassed by the "feminists" in the 3 examples he gave in his previous article. I can think of no institution that would ignore such a claim. He supposes that the administration will just throw his claims aside, without ever trying. No better way to support your argument than to not field-test it!
He didn't call a group of people "not very bright," he said "most of them are not very bright." He said that "no one can call himself educated if he hasn't read the bible at least once." I think it's pretty well established that the Bible gives moral guidance to those who believe in it and for those who come to believe in it as he did. I'm not sure why his recommendation of the Bible as a guide for life is out of line. Finally, he does not "suppose that the university will just throw his claims aside," but it actually has. His columns have explained in greated depth those examples he listed.
It's always suprising to find out how differently two people can view the same thing. Thanks for the comment.
P.S. I planted some strawberries last night, thanks for the tip.
