THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

If you believe in the Abrahamic God
If you believe in the Abrahamic God - and why would you believe in or worship any other if you wished to worship a deity? - then you would be concerned that 2.2 billion Christians in the world are practising idolatry and blasphemy. Christianity has in any case failed and therefore needs to be replaced because religion serves the purpose of being a moral system and the basis of our laws. Whether or not you believe in God, you should want just and permanent laws based on eternal and universal principles to keep your group in existence and apart from others. The nation is the biggest group we can join that is small enough to care but enough to matter. As a moral and political philosopher, I can only conclude that theocracy governed by the principles of Secular Koranism is the only rational and moral choice for rational and moral gentiles who wish to enjoy the benefits of the rule of law and the spiritual benefits of having the option of believing in the most powerful being conceivable.
