Guest Post: Sustainability 365, From Young Until Old

by Matt de la Houssaye Sustainability grows each year. While there have been some setbacks, organic food, renewable energy and other areas have grown by leaps and bounds since I entered this field in the late 1990s.

The Vernal Equinox - 春分


The vernal equinox is the time when the days and the nights are of equal length and the sun shines directly on the equator, and usually falls around the 20-22 of March. In ancient times it was also called “日中”、“日夜分”、“仲春之月”. This is the time when the yin and the yang energies are in balance, and the days and nights are equal and the warm periods and the cold periods average out. And this is the day which falls directly in the middle of spring.

Six Arguments Against Religion II: Hypocrisy

Last week, I laid out the first of six arguments about religion — arguments that I have found interesting and worth exploring in depth. The first argument was that if you chose the wrong religion, you’d waste years of your life. The second argument is that religious beliefs are frequently inconsistent.

Christianity, for example, has a huge body of scripture written over the course of 3,000 years, and things don’t always square up. The Old Testament says “An eye for an eye,” and the New Testament says “turn the other cheek”; Jesus says “blessed are the peacemakers” and “I bring not peace but a sword” (is the Son of God himself not blessed? Or can some warmakers be blessed too? Or did Jesus mean something else entirely?); etc. There are various ways in which these conflicts can be resolved, but sometimes the logic gets quite pretzeled.>>Read more »
