In ancient times, claiming special powers and failing to deliver could earn you a death sentence. King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had a dream around 600 years before the appearance of Jesus, which he struggled to interpret. He summoned the help of magicians, sorcerers, astrologers, and enchanters, expecting them to interpret his dream without giving them …

The Euthyphro Dilemma Socrates and Plato once discovered what they determined to be a dilemma, which some have used to try to crack holes in the moral position that God is the grounding of our objective morality.

"Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law." ~ Romans 13:8 In the United States Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson stated: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain …
