In the excerpt, which probably formed the conclusion to the dialogue, Cice...

They held that justice is neither fully natural nor fully conventional, that there is a robust virtue of justice, and that it is always better to be just than to be unjust, but it is not always better to obey the laws.

by Charles Fort (Author)Lo! Was Charles Fort's third book. In it Fort examines a multitude of scientific anomalies. Fort is widely credited to have coined the now-popular term teleportation in this book and here he ties his previous statements on what he referred to as the Super-Sargasso Sea into his beliefs on teleportation. He would later expand this theory to include purported mental and psychic phenomena in his fourth and final book Wild Talents.

by Eric Reitan (Author)Grief over the loss of those we love is one of the most painful parts of life. But Christianity has long offered consolation to those who grieve in the form of the Easter promise. Death is not the end.

But won't this promise have limits if, as Christians have traditionally believed, some of God's creatures are eternally lost? Can I really be perfectly happy in heaven if, say, ...
