Is there a god that you refer to as "he"? If so, why?

Impact of male god on human genders

Does the MODEL of a male gender assignment to a GOD... A) Tend to give males automatic superiority over females? and B) Enable males to be lazier and more ignorant :lol: in actually developing and demonstrating their spiritual potential? Seriously, I'm asking what are the impacts to human genders, o...

Re: Islam is Right About Woman

religions make the woman a secondary citizen of the universe. Some more so than others. Sure does seem that way! Females often appear to be naturally endowed with witchy powers of perception that many males can't harness or understand, so they have sought over time to restrain and crush it with the...

Re: ANEKANTAVADA

There are many views of reality, i.e. truths. Agreed! I, personally, DON'T think there is ONE TRUTH to be known/seen, but this does NOT mean that all views are therefore truth. The human realm is full of delusion. What I've noticed is that DAM makes extreme statements (which I think is her way of t...

Re: Is Free Speech Worth Defending?

Free speech is how we expand our awareness -- however, as with all things, it's best when there is balance and discernment. Otherwise, we risk devolving into excessive noise. It's valuable when everyone has a voice. It's not valuable when people rant excessively and repeatedly, as if they're in a ps...

Re: ANEKANTAVADA

everyone is right and everyone's point of view is equally valid and true Well, first of all... How can there be "right" without wrong? And "valid" without invalid? And "true" without false? Secondly, isn't this essentially attempting to equally validate views that coul...

Re: Is Free Speech Worth Defending?

I've been kicked out of forums for defending the deep ideas within Plato's cave analogy. Those claiming to be tolerant are the most intolerant of great ideas revealing the human condition which disturb the peace so cannot be tolerated. Well, that's certainly how you like to think about it for yours...

Re: Religion? Science? Politics?

Anyone who says "the human essence be damned" in reference to the differing perspectives of some group of people is a religious extremist. And the claim that "all that matters is the agenda and everything must be sacrificed for it" can be applied to Republicans, Christians, extr...

Re: Religion? Science? Politics?

She's smarter than any one posting on this Forum. Agreed! Human beings tend to use very specific parameters to judge intelligence and reality...which blinds them from all but their most self-serving ideas.

Re: What do men and women actually really want from each other?

(rant of the moment) Your whole response is a rant based on distorted thoughts in your own head. You really didn't have to put so much energy into it... but I could tell you were enjoying your self-indulgence. :lol: if you'd watched the video you would have seen how that works for very young childr...
