Zippy Catholic, love him or hate him, has apparently returned to blogging, at least for now.
To an unusual degree, Zippy chases the fundamental logic of moral arguments all the way into their hidey-holes and shakes them like a dog. That's why some hate him. Okay, maybe "hate" is too strong a word, but boy do they wish he would shut up.
It was largely due to his patient exposition that I was able to sort out my own jumbled thoughts and come down firmly against torture (yes, that means waterboarding)... and understand why.
Because I am not trained in philosophy (I'm barely housebroken) Zippy and his interlocutors sometimes lose me in the sharp turns, but his blog has always been instructive and worth reading.
Welcome back, Zippy!
Hey thanks for the plug, Tim :)

I have always followed Mark Shea for this reason too, although Mark is a little less refined, he still has a convincing way of arguing, and is willing to admit error if he needs to humble his "Dork Lard" self. God Bless

i like this part of the blog:"It was largely due to his patient exposition that I was able to sort out my own jumbled thoughts and come down firmly against torture (yes, that means waterboarding)... and understand why." is very good

Wow, Propecia... pardon my saying so, but that's one unfortunate name you have there. Your parents must have had some twisted sense of humor, naming you after a male-pattern baldness cure.
I would seek counseling. You have become so disjointed in your thinking that you are leaving inane and seemingly random comments on months-old posts.
Or maybe its true what I heard about Propecia causing horrible brain cancer...
