Axioms of God and Man

Self-evident truths are undeniable. As such, these truths are authoritative: they have the power to unite the human race in a common purpose and method. Some of these truths have been the foundation of western politics, and many are found in the 'humanism' branch of philosophy, but the author believes that these predecessors have overlooked some basic ones. The author presents a more thorough overview of a set of human axioms. He also discusses how these axioms dictate how humans can (and cannot) obtain joy in this life. Topics include: the existence of God, the pleasure of ignorance, slavery, accountability, addiction, sex, drugs, murder, immorality, procreation, human co-operation, the theoretical savage state of man, the family, The Social Contract, inalienable rights, patriotism, learning by doing, learning by being, faith, assurance, sensory learning, reason beyond the senses, testimony, teaching, social belonging, joy, hell, hell-fire, sin, trust, war, repentance, grace, and salvation.
