Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

Flaws in Religious Arguments You Shouldn't Ignore [ The New Atheists and their " AMAZING POWER OF RATIONAL THINKING " ]
In my high school days I remember encountering the FLAWS in communist-social theory in many textbooks , popular magazines, and newspapers. The FLAWS of religion were left untouched by oh-so-revered - " Critical Thinking ". My good teachers scorned you if you were not on your way to being a good " critical thinker " !
Decades later in a social environment shaped by WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party political ideology we find Christianity , belief in God, religion in general , daily bashed by a legion of New Atheist evangelists. But they rarely apply their " AMAZING POWER OF RATIONAL THINKING " to CAPITALISM, AMERICAN IMPERIALISM, and ISRAELI ZIONISM . Here they are guided by COMMON SENSE on how not to ruin their academic or " professional journalist " careers.
Also, from my high school days I remember one highly cogent argument against applying the thinking of Karl Marx to " OUR democracy " : " You see kids, in America we have a solid, fiercely patriotic middle class and if YOU just settle down with a good job, a wife and kids , and organized leisure activities , YOU too can obtain ' The American Dream ' of the ' Good Life ' , of HAPPY DAYS , ' NOTHING BUT BLUE SKIES ' MIDDLE CLASS HEAVEN . WATCH TV and HOLLYWOOD MOVIES for more clues here ".
NOTE : Last time I checked most working class people were Desperate in America and so many middle class Americans in free fall . But MAGA REPUBLICAN Donald Trump will save the country in his " first 100 days ". Hasn't he ?
