... utilize the relative rules of caring and nurturing, and have the youth of today continue the democratic tradition for tomorrow. All of his challenges are obtainable and realistic goals if the youth of America band together and make some serious changes.

Transcendentalism And A Belief In A "Higher Power"
... examine your
beliefs using logic and science. If you do, there is no way to prove the
existence of a higher power.
The primary argument against the existence of a Judeo-Christian all-
knowing, all-powerful, righteous God is the argument from evil. This argument
