The Ontological War

Richard Land, the president of the Southern Baptist’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), and Rev. C. John McCloskey III, Catholic evangelist and Opus Dei member, both hate liberals.
In an ERLC statement about its public policy battles of 2009, Land and ERLC VP Barrett Duke write:
As we predicted, we spent most of last year resisting [...]

As people become more their realselves they become less alienated ontologically, and they develop a deeper and closer bond with reality and with the natural world—the life that exists other than our own. Men and women who reach this ontological state realize that the natural world is in fact their true home, and they develop [...]

Most of the people who increase their degrees of realself start from the socialself world, being mostly their socialselves, and having mostly socialself-to-socialself relationships. Biographies show that there are a few people who apparently had a strong sense of their realselves for as long as they can remember, but most people start out life as [...]

I previously posted this to a discussion group I was on; several changes have been made here.
We need to keep in mind that there is a difference between intellectually learning something and the knowledge that comes with becoming more who one truly is. Two examples of the latter are seen in the college freshman who [...]

In the past, I may have been looking in the wrong place to find people who would be interested in realself ontology and in increasing their degrees of realself.
I started my ontological quest when I was a young adult, and I think probably everyone else does as well. But for many young men and women, [...]

I can’t remember exactly when I first started thinking about ontological questions; it was either when I was 18 or 19.
But when I was about 20 I became consumed with thinking about ontological questions and emotions. For a year or two, the whole experience felt to me as if I were driving along a dark [...]
