I am have problems with the quote function again. Last time after a couple of days it went away, but now it seems as though it is here to stay. I can ...

Ahh, the chutzpah, the effrontery, the gall, the delusions of grandeur... Don't try to tell me that you could not at least keep the oceans clean if yo...

However, the Biblical text is revelatory - its aim is to reveal many things that are hidden. This is only your opinion of what the bible is, how you i...

Do you think you could do any better with no experience of the job? The last bloody thing I would want would to be a god. But I would bet that given h...

If it wasn't the valid word of God, then there wouldn't be any reason to struggle to get it right for 3,000 years. If it was the valid word of some go...

The funny thing about the bible is that the only people that even bother to discuss its meaning are the ones that believe it to be the word of god, an...

Once I accepted and loved myself almost unconditionally I like how you put the "almost" in there. I think that one has to put some conditions on lovin...

Just mix in something about politics and race and you'll get a nice FB discussion going. There is no way giving this kind of advise is going to get yo...

Do you think it is a necessity to wish good for the person you love (unconditionally) to claim that you love that person? But why would anyone not wis...

Each level represents a boundary that has to be breached. The top level is where you get to be creative.
September 17, 2017 at 14:55
If you look at this as a step up sort of process then it is as if you are breaking a boundary. You cannot do anything in the level above you if you ha...

Where? I failed to see anything wise in your comment. :-}
September 11, 2017 at 03:04
And who would call you an asshole? Nobody would. Everyone knows assholes are essential and important part of life. X-)

So it is possible for something to be perfect even if it is incomplete? Not worked out too well yet though has it? When are we supposed to be saved?

If we were talking about a car I would agree, but this is supposed to be a complete being, so I would guess he needs to have every single possible pro...

I guess that you are not planning on having kids soon then.
September 02, 2017 at 01:44
Maybe they are the ones that bought the old PF.
September 02, 2017 at 01:41
There is no answer to your claim that you are paying for someone else's sins. If you want to be religious, you just have to live with it. Fessing up t...
September 02, 2017 at 01:39
There is no answer to that so just confess and suck up life like a man. That way you will be reborn when the time comes, maybe anyways.
