God's Word is not confined to one line of thought, one philosophy, one book, or one religion.
Adam discusses the current state of the world.
How does humanity resolve its myriad divisions to prevent its eventual social destruction?
Adam argues that rights for all Americans are not just and equal.
Every now and then, you've got to put the busywork aside and concentrate on yourself.
Regardless of our race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or citizenship, ours is to live in a manner that prevents humanity's social destruction and the human-caused ecological devastation of this planet we share.
Consumed by the fear of losing control of what they no longer control. And their longing for a time in an idyllic past that never was, right-wing conservative Republicans would rather destroy America than share it with all its citizens.
No matter the religion we practice, our philosophy, or our concept of God, the state of the world within our shared reality is the same for us all.
“We've got the power to shape our lives. No magic wands or wishing on stars. We've got to get up and put in the work!”
The Hosts examine what is real and how we can be sure.

Our responsibility is not only for ourselves but also for other people and our planet.
Adam explains that the Philosophy of the Divine Law addresses many of the existential challenges faced by our generation.
Adam asserts that though many believe everything is according to their god's plan, a god or gods are not required for things to be as they are.
Adam reminds us that Homo sapiens are not Earth's rulers, but one of its caretakers.
Adam discusses the effect the alliance of conservative and fringe GOP politicians, Christian evangelicalism, Christian nationalism, and Dominionism has had on America's republic.
Adam reminds us that our presence, time, and influence in this reality is temporary.
Adam explains that as God exists, God is unknowable and without explanation.
Many, if not most, of our greatest disappointments, result from our attempts to control what we cannot.
Everything the world's religions, mystical philosophies, and belief systems have told us about previous lives and life after death is nothing more than beliefs unsupported by testable and provable evidence.
Adam explains that to survive, as a species, we must change our focus from what might be after we die to what is while we live.
Adam discusses how the choices we make determine the quality of our lives.
Adam discusses the Philosophy of the Divine Law's primary focus: Us!
Adam discusses the importance of honest and open communication.
Hopelessly stuck in the mire of racism, bigotry, religious entitlement, and fear, we have changed, sabotaged, or reversed decisions on prayer in schools, affirmative action, voting rights, Roe v. Wade, and many others. Continuously returning to issues that keep the country divided.
“…people hold on to the mythology, superstition, and mystical beliefs endemic to their religions or belief systems. No matter how absurd or contrary they might be to the natural function of our shared reality.”
All that exists and can ever exist (regardless of whether we understand) exists because the physical laws that govern this reality support its existence.
Adam discusses the empowerment inherent in accepting the truth of the reality in which we live.
Adam examines the current attempts to suppress the truth and people's apathy toward doing anything about it.
Adam posits that Homo sapiens is an anomaly that has disrupted the Earth's natural state. That everything we have invented for our comfort and otherwise is not essential to the Earth but ourselves.
There are many reasons older people might not yet have reached their goals. Not every life is the same. Some may have earned a degree but have yet to make it work. Some might have committed crimes and served in prison. Others might have taken care of elderly or sick parents, helped to raise younger siblings, or had to work to support themselves. And yes, some simply played around until they couldn't anymore.Whatever the reason, regardless of age, again, one has not failed until one quits!
Today's presentation is about the tenets that form the foundational concept of the Philosophy of the Divine Law. The Foundation of Understanding. These ten statements outline the philosophy's methodology for living in our shared reality.
Adam talks about the current state of affairs in American life.
