THE CRITICS EXCLAIM! “It is absolutely certain that Paul Sunstone will someday come to a rich and full understanding of God.  That is sure to be the day Our Altogether Righteous and Just Lord mercifully condemns Paul Sunstone to being eternally chained to Justin Bieber’s buttocks in the hottest regions of hell. Until that day, his opinions and views of deity cannot possibly rise above the ignorant, thoughtless slime that is his post, ‘About Your Gods’.”  —  Merriweather Sterling, Blogs of the Day, “The Daily Burtie”, Berwick-Upon-Tweed, England, UK.

(About a 5 minute read)

I sometimes get the impression that plenty of us tackle the big ideas in life almost the day we escape our cribs for the first time.

“Gurk! Life is mine to seize! I see it clearly now.  I shall be my own hero. Gerp!” Or, “Poppels! But our capacity to love is what most defines us as moral. Twurks!  What’s this?  Why, it must be what what ma-ma calls, ‘poo’.  And look!  It’s endlessly shape-able!”

The Value of an Education in the Humanities

Paul Sunstone

(About a 3 minute read)

I do not believe anyone these days should be so foolish as to get an education only in the humanities. Nowadays, you absolutely need to take a substantial number of courses in the sciences if you want anything remotely like a decent education.

Nor do I recommend that anyone these days risk being unemployable by getting an education that’s purely humanities or even combines the humanities and the sciences. I’d tell anyone who doesn’t expect to inherit a fortune to at least minor in some employable field, especially given the debt folks are going into to get an education.
