Yes, but as political creatures, in a democracy, it is important to decide what is the right thought (truth) and the right action. Our abyss is an eco...
Interesting notion floating around without bodies. Does not sound good at all. However, being one with God might mean without an ego that necessitates...
You said that so beautifully I could cry. I recently said something close to that to my daughter, telling her how sorry I am that I could not give our...
When growing up, I remember if an uninvited guest came for dinner and there was not enough to feed everyone, my mother went without dinner. As a grown...
That is sweet, and the invitation is like putting a horse at the starting gate of a race track. I have no idea how to get people interested in the fac...

:love: I love you. You are using the language that turns my heart on, virtues and arte. Once desires and fears have been brought under control, the ey...
Okay believing in evolution and being spiritual can go together. I love the subject of morality built on sound reasoning! I am perhaps even fanatical ...
You speak of history and what war did to Egypt, Athens, Roman, the Aztecs, or any civilization that is victorious in war. I am speaking of bureaucrati...
I just watched an awesome program about what can happen when we speak to our hearts and listen to our hearts. When we live in our heads, what we think...
This forum does not seem to use links so I am reluctant to do so, but you mentioned Einstein and the participant-observer role with a question about h...
I think the Germans/Prussians are pretty awesome people, and that is why I began reading about them. You missed the point of why I write about Prussia...

Burying our dead may be an emotional reaction we share with animals, and may not rely on culture, nor thoughts of an afterlife that are purely imagina...
With words, we can imagine things that were totally not imaginable before we became so technologically advanced. Our homes are full of magic! We have ...
Wow, I really like your observation! Our raw, animal instincts will always be part of us and this is what makes education for self-control and underst...
Yes, but someone in the Historium forum makes it extremely unpleasant for me so I rarely go there unless for some strange reason I have nothing better...
Conformity was very much a part of the 1950s but that does not mean a lack of independent thinking. However, your argument certainly does push for a b...
Thank you! I love how you worded the important difference between Pirard bringing us together to make a decision and Kirk moving us forward. Kirk was ...
We know Christians had a war with each other. Those who thought Jesus was the son of God, killed those who thought Jesus was God and visa versa. The p...
Interesting statement. Surely those who see everything as animated and those who are materialistic believing things are only matter, have very differe...
Most interesting. I do not mean to be argumentive but the notion of conscious, and our inability to have the consciousness of the past, intrigues me. ...
We can not have empirical information about God because we do directly experience God. Some people have died and their hearts have been restarted brin...
Our clash with China is basic east and west differences. Our clash with Russia could be the same, as it is argued they are oriental, not western. In I...
What a delicious argument. :grin: Truth often is not this or that, but it is this and that. I absolutely love how, in an argument, both people are rig...
Yes, and without men like Bill Gates (John Wayne), we do not have the industrial wealth that benefits all of us. Being able to educate and feed everyo...
That is an interesting observation. My knowledge of the change was the day all the teachers in my school were in shock. It was very frightening becaus...
Hum, what would we want in a captain of the ship or a captain of industry? Bill Gates is a take-charge person and he has accomplished a lot. We might ...
An interesting thought, but how responsible is the egoless, person? What can of leader will this person be? As we argue about communism, socialism, or...
