Being and Becoming Daniel Natal Among the pre-Socratic Greek philosophers, two heavyweights stand out: Heraclitus and Parmenides. These two were antagonists. One believed that “all was flux” and evolution, while the other believed in fixed definitions for things. In other words, one believed in Being, while the other believed in Becoming. The conflict right now in Western civilization is based on this bifurcation . . . a clash whose stress cracks opened up as early as the 19th Century when clergymen argued with Darwinists. One group believed in Being [i.e., God, the Supreme Being] while the other group believed in evolution (hence Becoming). Find out how these two belief-systems have shaped the war between conservatives and progressives. https://thenewamerican.com/being-and-becoming/ It's not too long, give it a watch: "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | ||

Thanks for posting this. It is very concise and insightful. It makes it clear why our society is degrading so dramatically. ____________________________ "It is easier to fool someone than to convince them they have been fooled." Unknown observer of human behavior. | |||
