		<title>We Who Shun Chaos for Community</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have the greatest opportunity the world has ever seen, as long as we remain honest — which will be as long as we can keep the attention of our people alive.
— Thomas Jefferson
Let&#8217;s get out of here, you and me.
Let&#8217;s run up a tab, get a boat, ruin our credit scores and never return. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Human Nature of God</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.
— Abraham Lincoln
Faith is the conclusion we draw from the understanding that man is not something that merely is, but is instead something constantly becoming. To become requires faith, because why would we try to do more than just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Revisions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I’m chasing my history and finding discrepancies between who I am and who I’ve thought I should become.
I fashioned myself in the image of a spirited warrior from the start, but so many scars later and I don’t know what I’ve gained from all of these fabrications. I was the toddler seeking diplomacy to avoid [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gone the Prodigal Son: Marx, the Prodigal Son/the Bastard (5 of 5)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Marx’s fuzziness allows him to stand directly on the line between ruthless and revolutionary, but he makes sure to leave enough open to interpretation that you can’t tell whether he would have been expressly against the Gulag or understood it as a necessary transient evil in the course of industrializing a nation that jumped the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gone the Prodigal Son: Marx and Rousseau, the Better Brother (4 of 5)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rousseau, the Better Brother
If there is any (likeable) philosopher who might give Marx some love, it’s Rousseau. Where Rousseau believes we are determined by our culture, Marx says it is our class. The General Will, which Rousseau claims is for the “good of all”, may as well be for the good of the Party for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gone the Prodigal Son: Marx and St. Augustine, the Spoiling Mother (3 of 5)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[St. Augustine, the Spoiling Mother
St. Augustine helped forge the primary Christian model as one of foregoing earthly pursuits in better interest of God. I believe his conception had a peculiar impact on the beginnings of Communism and public sentiment during the Bolshevik revolution. According to Pontuso, the Orthodox Church before the revolution “had given a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gone the Prodigal Son: Marx and Plato, the Father at Odds (2 of 5)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Plato, the Father at Odds
Plato created the prototype for all political philosophy and suggested states with his Republic. For Marx to have even set out to write his considerations of political economy owed much to Plato’s groundbreaking, and that they both wrote works on ideal governments is at least one thing they share completely in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gone the Prodigal Son: Analyzing Marx through Plato, Augustine and Rousseau (1 of 5)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some families are united through history by their influences and distortions on one another, and some men are born bastards apart from the prestige of their progenitorial design. If Karl Marx is the youngest child in a family of philosophers, then he rebels against father Plato; finds solace in the comfort of mother St. Augustine; [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Social Determinism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Social determinism is a dangerous excuse for not trying. 
While it’s true that we are all born with the burden or gift of our respective histories, these histories alone cannot dictate success or failure. That is to say, the pre-conceptional past encourages making choices that we might consider more immediately viable, but it does not [...]]]></description>

		<title>A first analysis of Job</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just had a thought this morning: What if Job and not Adam had been the common natural father of humanity? In the Book of Job, Job loses everything but faith in God&#8217;s will. His wife even tempts him at one point to curse God, but he instead retreats to prayer to apologize to God [...]]]></description>
