Our society’s moral codes and ethics are fundamentally based on Judeo-Christianity, and since our society is slowly drifting away from religion, with nothing to replace it, we can only reach the conclusion that there is absolutely no objective truth, right or wrong, value and meaning in life. In Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, nihilism is a prominent feature, mostly…

I am a theist and I believe god does exist which many philosophers like Alfred Russel Wallace, Archbishop Selby, and Sayyid Qutb etc. They try to prove that god is not dead. But I think that the argument for God is dead because there reasons are better even though I think God is not dead.

In the late 1800’s, he bought a typewriter, mastered touch-typing, and was soon enough able to type with his eyes closed. This newfound writing tool enabled him to write again.
