Ep #43 – Nietzsche’s Natural Slaves and Masters

October 1, 2020 admin Open College with Dr. Stephen Hicks 0 Comments

July 29, 2020 admin Comments Off on EP #111b | Messy Politics

The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario has itself in a bit of an awkward situation. Information from one of their nomination processes has surfaced on the Internet.

An all-powerful, all-knowing, completely good creator of the universe would not have created an imperfect world with evil in it or would he?
