The Electric Ministry A rogue reverend on a quest for truth, exploring every realm of human knowledge to develop a practica Thanks for your support! Much Love,

Rev.

There exists no greater threat to humanity than ignorance, as well as the two worst addictions that derive from it – selfishness and pessimism. The Electric Ministry is devoted to addressing the problem of ignorance by educating the public and advocating tolerance of beliefs. The Ministry is not a religion, and espouses no specific faith of its own; its purpose is to provide knowledge. The goal is

not to convert, or change anyone's views, but rather to open the door to self-actualization by providing the tools necessary to assist one's journey into his or her inner self, regardless of where they stand on their path in life – and by encouraging everyone, of all faiths, to seek and discover truth on their own terms. The Ministry's page will be an ongoing work in progress, constantly growing and evolving as I tackle the mountain of research ahead of me, which will undoubtedly influence the final product. My goal is to help bridge the gap between science and religion, and between religions themselves, by using elements pulled from a broad spectrum of sciences and concepts including (but not limited to) philosophy, psychology, sociology, faith, theology, quantum mechanics, relativity theory, consciousness theory, neurobiology, humanism, morality, ethics, objectivity, subjectivity, altruism, logic, possibility, probability, existentialism, epistemology, ontology, metaphysics, and common sense to create a strategy for the development and/or strengthening of all morality-based belief systems on an individual level, that is congruent with both modern science as well as organized religion – and everything in between. While getting ordained was something I did on a whim, after realizing the opportunity to create a fresh, logical, and credible perspective concerning beliefs and faith, it's only natural that I see how far I can take it; because as long as the potential exists to make the world a better place by minimizing and hopefully eventually eliminating conflict amongst ourselves (and within), I don't see myself anywhere but at the front of the fray, and will do everything in my power to aid in the progression and evolution of the human race.

Herschel Concepcion's answer: I believe there is. This is one of the oldest problems in philosophy. Its deceptively simple premise has endured 2,000 years of debate, with no general consensus on a “satisfactory” (much less definitive) solution: > "The ship on which Theseus sailed with the youth....
