    Myths of the Tribe by David Rich
    2025/04/18
    More than two centuries after the Age of Reason culminated in the French Revolution, society still operates based on assumptions and attitudes formed by our ancient myths. Propagated by organized religion, these myths not only hamper efforts to apply reason to our problems, but foster violent conflicts that threaten global security Myths of the Tribe: When Religion and Ethics Diverge illustrates the negative historical impact of our major religions and their detrimental impact on modern society. Author David Rich demonstrates how centuries’ old philosophy, doctrines, and belief systems plague our everyday lives, our political arena, and the way we function in the modern world. As relevant today as it was when first published by Prometheus Books in 1993, Myths of the Tribe has been updated in its second edition with new data reflecting our views on religion and social mores/religious holidays in the twenty-first century.

    Stormbringer: The Predator's Stone by G. R. Boden
    2025/04/10
    Abandoned at birth and shuffled through the system all her life, Cinder is on the verge of being expelled from yet another school. Despite high test scores, Cinder’s records show a penchant for fighting, defiance, impulsivity, and “an unwillingness to develop appropriate decision-making skills”―whatever that means. When a lunch-time brawl breaks out in the cafeteria, Cinder gloomily prepares for what has become all-too familiar. This fight, however, won’t end like all the others. Allfather has dispatched his Predators, an elite team of bodyguards, to bring Cinder to the Proving Grounds, where she will be broken, disciplined, trained, and given her quest directive. Cinder may be in an alternate realm full of Valkyries, dark elves, and world-encircling serpents, but she still has a chip on her shoulder the size of Thor’s hammer, and she’s not about to let Odin or any other god push her around.

    Christitutionalist Politics by Joseph M. Lenard
    2025/04/08
    Part 2 of Series so far in conjunction with ChristiTutionalist TM Politics podcast providing historical context of America's Judeo/Christian Foundations based upon Biblical Community (Free Will, Charity, etc.) vs Worldly Communism (Force, Theft, etc.) as was already tried on our Soil back during the Bradford Colony Mayflower Communal Compact and they almost all starved to death. Bradford and the Colony then pivoted to Biblical FREE WILL (Freedom) and Personal/Individual Responsibilities and Rights over Collectivist one's (that fails to take in account Human Nature and some desires to do least possible, if not avoid shirking any responsibility at all, and eventually more in Cart than can pull the Cart and ATLAS SHRUGS); Private Property ownership, again over Collectivist concept which when no-one owns no-one has direct pride and taking actual ownership of the responsibilities for; etc.; and as they say THE REST IS HISTORY as our Founders learned from that initial Failure.

Overwhelmed by the horrors of war, conflicted by religion, and ravaged by nightmares, he turns to alcohol and makes a painful choice. One particular battlefield experience, a reoccurring nightmare, and to protect his wife, he leaves her.
