“Be human in this most inhuman of ages; guard the image of man for it is the image of God. Those who are at present so eager to be reconciled with the world at any price must take care not to be reconciled with it under this particular aspect: as the nest of The Unspeakable. This is what too few are willing to see.”
Thomas Merton, Raids on the Unspeakable
“As everything in what used to be called creation becomes a commodity, human beings begin to look at one another, and at themselves, in a funny way, and they see price tags. There was a time when people spoke, at least occasionally, of ‘inherent worth’— if not of things, then at least of persons.”
Harvey Cox, The Market as God
“Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil, but as a necessity, or even a duty.”
Simone Weil
“There is nothing so threatening to systemic evil as those willing to stand against it regardless of the consequences.”
James W. Douglass, JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters
“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be with the coming of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given away in marriage, up until the very day that Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came, and swept them all away…
And they said to him, ‘Where will this happen, Lord?’ And He said to them, ‘Where death is, there will be a gathering of vultures.’”
Luke 17:26-27, 37
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

“…guard the image of man for it is the image of God.”
Never a more self aggrandizing comment made and widely mistakenly believed.
Adam was created in Gods image. Adam sinned; sin brings about a far different image than that of Perfect God. The rest of us are created in Adams image, the image of fallen man and not God. This is why we require a Savior.
Genesis 5:3 KJB… “And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:”
Noah a descendant of Seth. We are descendants of Noah.
