Academic Papers:

Rio Hondo College 1992

• “The Immorality of Office Politics” (Final term paper for Ethics and Morality class. This is not a paper on theology, but does have some faith-based implications: 1) As directed by my instructor, it references the 4th Commandment as one of its principles. 2) My major take away from this class was that without an all-powerful good Supreme Being, all you have is a power struggle between parties with the stronger party winning. 3) I had formally changed from agnostic to believing in Christ just about exactly a year after writing this paper.)
