Hello fellow cybercitizen. This site has experienced its first anniversary!! and I have received many comments, thankfully more pro than con. My apologies to visitors that I have not exactly had an abundance of interesting content yet. I hope to change that soon. Please come back and visit often since this site is under constant revision - I seek always to improve. Please take the time to explore all that is here. This is a serious site, intended for the benefit of those who are truly seeking to learn, including - perhaps even especially - me. If you like learning too, you should come here often. It is my intention to make this site one of the best on the net for content. Feel free to comment or suggest improvements via the guestbook (please sign it anyway) or email. Let us begin to make the world better together. You may post a message for the Atheist Preacher here, or email.
Imagine
by John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven. It's easy if you try.
No hell below us, above us only sky.
Imagine all the people living for today.
Imagine there's no countries. It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion, too.
Imagine all the people living life in peace.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.
Imagine no possessions. I wonder if you can.
No need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the people sharing all the world.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will live as one.

Hello, Cyber Citizen. Do YOU have a dream? Would YOU like to make the world better? In these pages you will learn what some of the worst problems facing our species are, and some things we can do about them.

If you are the sort of person who sees nothing wrong with the world as it is, what can I say except fine, goodbye. Live with it till you die. If you are a person of vision, however, and recognize the disparity between "what is" in the world and "what could be," then I truly hope you will join me and the others who are working to make this a better world for all of us.

Obviously, we should begin with determining what some of the worst problems are. I believe I have taken some major steps in that direction already. I have identified EGOR as a major source of most problems. EGOR is a monster of our own creation, and must very soon be destroyed or he will surely destroy us utterly. EGOR is far too complex to be completely introduced in this space. I will offer a complete introduction on following pages.

I have also begun one of the first steps in the battle plan against EGOR. It is called S.O.A.R. Are you beginning to get just a bit curious about what EGOR and S.O.A.R. could be? Here's a hint: More than 100 years ago Robert Ingersoll wrote the piece below. Does it stir your emotions? Can you agree with it? If so, stay a while. This is The Learning Place. You and I can learn from each other. You're going to die soon enough, anyway. Why not do something really good while you're here?


FREEDOM


When I became convinced that the universe is natural--that all the ghosts and gods are myths, there entered into my brain, into my soul, into every drop of my blood, the sense, the feeling, the joy of freedom. The walls of my prison crumbled and fell, the dungeon was flooded with light, and all the bolts and bars and manacles became dust. I was no longer a servant, a serf, or a slave. There was for me no master in all the wide world--not even in infinite space.
I was free--free to think, to express my thoughts--free to live to my own ideal--free to live for myself and those I loved--free to use all my faculties, all my senses--free to spread imagination's wings--free to investigate, to guess and dream and hope--free to judge and determine for myself--free to reject all ignorant and cruel creeds, all the "inspired" books that savages have produced, and all the barbarous legends of the past--free from sanctified mistakes and holy lies--free from the fear of eternal pain--free from the winged creatures of the night--free from devils, ghosts, and gods.
For the first time I was free.
There were no prohibited places in all the realms of thought--no air, no space, where fancy could not spread her painted wings--no chains for my limbs--no lashes for my back--no fires for my flesh--no master's frown or threat--no following in another's steps--no need to bow, or cringe, or crawl or utter lying words. I was free. I stood erect and fearlessly, joyously faced all words.
And then my heart was filled with gratitude, with thankfulness, and went out in love to all the heroes, the thinkers who gave their lives for the liberty of hand and brain--for the freedom of labor and thought--to those who fell on the fierce fields of war, to those who died in dungeons bound in chains--to those by fire consumed--to all the wise, the good, the brave of every land, whose thoughts and deeds have given freedom to the sons of men.
And then I vowed to grasp the torch that they had held, and hold it high,
THAT LIGHT MIGHT CONQUER DARKNESS STILL!
Robert Green Ingersoll
(1833-1899)

....................
Here's a torch for you too, friend. Will you help dispel the darkness of ignorance and superstition? At the dawn of a new millennium, will you help drag our world, at last, out of its period of Dark Ages?


There actually have been seekers here since 11/10/98!
