More From Epicurus

When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.

Jesus is the mediator of justice; mary obtains for us grace; for, as st. bernard, st. bonaventure, st. bernardine of siena, st. germanus, st. antoninus, and others say, it is the will of god to dispense through the hands of mary whatever graces he is pleased to bestow upon us. with god, the prayers of the saints are the prayers of his friends, but the prayers of mary are the prayers of his mother.

My musical influence is really from my father. he was a dj in college. my parents met at new york university. so he listened to, you know, motown, and he listened to bob dylan. he listened to grateful dead and rolling stones, but he also listened to reggae music. and he collected vinyl.

Evil is thus a kind of parasite on goodness. if there were no good by which to measure things, evil could not exist. men sometimes forget this, and say, there is so much evil in the world that there cannot be a god. they are forgetting that, if there were no god, they would have no way of distinguishing evil from goodness. the very concept of evil admits and recognizes a standard, a whole, a rule, an order. nobody would say that his automobile was out of order if he did not have a conception of how an automobile ought to run.

On the ground of our own goodness we cannot expect to have our prayers answered. but jesus is worthy, and for his sake we may have our prayers answered. there is nothing too choice, too costly, or too great for god to give him. he is worthy. he is the spotless, holy child, who under all circumstances acted according to the mind of god. and if we trust in him, if we hide in him, if we put him forward and ourselves in the background, depend on him and plead his name, we may expect to have our prayers answered.
Jesus Prayer Children
Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. evil is simply the absence of god. it is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of god. god did not create evil. evil is not like faith, or love that exist just as does light and heat. evil is the result of what happens when man does not have god's love present in his heart. it's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.

F you analyze it i believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. i think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals - if we were back in the days of the revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the liberals and the liberals would be the tories. the basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.
