It is such a pleasure to argue with knowledgeable people! The people posting in this thread create my ideal heaven. We are not fully understanding eac...
Out of nothing came everything. And without division, there is again nothing. When you think of the Father in heaven what do you feel? When in think o...
The area for fear and sexual arousal are close, resulting in fear intensifying sexual arousal or the reverse can happen, with fear shutting down sexua...
My focus is back to the Mother. An aesthetic or scientific appreciation of nature so not at all equal to having a relationship with our Mother. Our Mo...
I need to go back and review everything as it relates to technology and get back to you. Thank you for clarifying, and how in heck did my mind jump to...
Would you please go to our congress and the political meetings to explain that. What you said is awesome. I was a Toastmistress when women and men cou...
:lol: You both must be young to have that argument. I am lucky if I can remember a thought for 5 minutes. My thinking disappears like a puff of smoke ...
Athena wasn't a mother. She took responsibility for Hephaestus' child but stuck it in a box and left someone else responsible for it. That is like man...
I will be gone for awhile. I am making masks for the homeless. They can not get on the bus without a mask. And a couple of nurses left Oregon to work ...
You make me think. You are right about avoiding judgments. I don't doubt it is natural for humans to raid each other but others have questioned if tod...
Very good point of argument. What kind of knowledge? I would like to search for answers so do you have any mythologies in mind that I might read? I kn...
You make me think and I am loving this. Did north American natives live in societies or civilizations? Was the confederation of the North East natives...
I want to be sure you noticed I said there is a relationship between creation stories, gender dominance, and technological advancement or lack of it. ...
Wow, that is an interesting argument- "theorize about cultural differences being more important than our common human race". A main reason for startin...
Very nicely said. Any thoughts on how we shifted from turning to our earth mother for sustenance and comfort to the a jealous, revengeful, fearsome an...
Okay, I am ready to offer an explanation of why matriarchal societies did not develop technology. This is a weak argument because it appears no one ha...
Okay, that will require looking through my books to find quotes and I need some time to do that. I do think this point is an important one and should ...
Okay, as I said in response to sushi, I think only the male-dominated cultures developed technology. If we were all matriarchal, we would still be far...
:heart: I think I love you. I wish the whole world held those ideas. I think there are varying degrees in our differences. I know for sure I think dif...
If we can not agree democracy is an ideology, a complex concept, and like religion, only if the ideology is known can it be manifested, then it may be...
I am not sure of your point? Solon was before the democracy and later Socrates was told to kill himself with hemlock for questioning the gods. But Soc...
I am not sure what your point is. The North and South had bascially different people. The Puritans were not known for religious tolerance. Nor were th...
I will definitely opt for open-mindedness. I am coming from the traditional past and it was not my intent to start a battle of the sexes. I am sort of...
I don't think either sex should dominate but the example of bonobo and chimps is to question if we are doomed to war and other forms of brutality beca...
Political accountability would be nice right now. I think we are having this discussion right now because we forgot what science has to do with democr...
Democracy is a way of life. In those science labs people are consulting with each other. If we had the democratic model of industry, everyone would be...
All governments are varying degrees of democracy and autocracy. The actual form of the US government is a republic and at the moment we have a preside...
A rebellion against taxes got plenty of support, but the notion of democracy comes from Greek and Roman classics and begins with math and a notion of ...
The search for truth is universal, and it was an American value, but is no longer an American value thanks to Christianity. Democracy is built on a se...
As my Christian friend said, she is forgiving and loving. Inferring I am not because I do not believe Trump is a great father for our country and I ca...
To clarify, the question is what is the connection between science and democracy. When we prepared for WWI and WWII schools and bookmakers focused on ...
Oh yeah, our thinking changes a lot as we age, if we are in the habit of thinking. Not everyone is in the habit of thinking, but many are in the habit...
I would say sin is ignorance. It is as Cicero said, we would make the right choice if we knew what that was. Making the wrong choice is ignorance of t...
Not a joke but Wrestlemania mentality. Have you seen the video of Trump shaving a wrestler's head? He is the ring taking full part in the freak show o...
I am not sure the US is wealthy. I think it appears wealthy because everyone uses credit cards and the government runs on credit. I think we are prett...
Yeap, that is the essence of democracy. It is about what we believe, not who rules. It is totally awesome and it is not explained in the Bible. Some o...
Your words tickle me. Democracy is not a practical form of government. A republic is a more efficient form of government, and under that form of gover...
I would say teachers today do seem to be ignoring the bureaucratic mind set that was promoted soon after enacting the 1958 National Defense Education ...
Then don't do it. However, let us not deny that not everyone fits in the normal range and accept their differences are biological and not "sinful". My...
What is the source of ethics and morality? The US has always been more religious and less philosophical than Europe. Not that long ago illiteracy was ...
Who reads the constitution? Who is aware of the philosophical foundation of democracy? Who is literate in the classics that are the foundation of demo...
The Eisenhower administration put the Military-Industrial Complex in place and I think we should all heed his warning. The Military-Industrial Complex...
I think we are in a cultural crisis and that unless we return education to defending our democracy, we will lose it. No branch of government can defen...
It is not that simple. :brow: Sometimes I wonder if too much information is a bad thing. I love science but when I look at information like that, I th...
Wow, I really like that first paragraph! Perhaps I should not comment on the second one that questions "shared meaning", but... I think democracy is a...
I would love to have the authority of a moderator in my threads. Posts that are disrespectful would be returned to the author for correction. In this ...
Unfortunately, our institutions are not in agreement with what you said. In the 60'tys we began training teachers to be impersonal. Government control...
