Re: RIGHT is :

Ok if there are false gods with God powers and knowledge then they are not false gods. Since your God acknowledges that they are gods then that makes them gods. They just do not look to your God as superior and so that makes them equal.

Re: The Cause of Sorrow

Actually, without sorrow , pain , negative, there would be no need for life to evolve, adapt , change or survive. An entity of superior intellect may have planned for this but, that in no way one must be grateful or love it. It obviously had its own motives. If you choose to be grateful, then that i...

Also: If people can be recruited by just one person's words then it shows they were already ready to join. No rationa...

Re: Show THEM the money -- those truly needing it most

That they are doing anything with their earned fortune is better then nothing. You can assume the worst as most will or just accept the gesture. I think trying to plan for generations is far better then tossing it to the present. If someone said you could have $100 now or $5,000 for your grandkids, ...

Life is for discovery of self, an adventure in exploring your potential if you can, some cannot or will not. Fear of life is fear of death.

Re: Hubris and Hillary Clinton

What is the government line in interfering with religion and beliefs? Are we supposed to be the same? Not believing in god was a crime at one point, is it right to make religion a crime?

Re: Rant competition.

Fighting or not fighting is only one small part to aggressive or passive. You can have an aggressive personality without ever having a confrontation. You can be passive and have or start confrontations. The kid that wins spelling contests all the time,,, aggressive or passive? The CEO of a company ,...

Re: Rant competition.

In a family you can have aggressive and passive offspring. This is true for animals as well. You can only teach either to suppress behavior.
