Isn't it just wild how some OPs answer themselves. You may think you're the majority, and you probably are. This guy who likes basketball is basically...

This is my point essentially. Let's not pretend you've never suffered. Without it, you and these "some people" are one and the same. We're just circli...

I believe soul transcends spirit, capitalized or not. Of course, I may be incorrect in my understanding, as may you. I believe the human form has a ca...

What if God in the contexts of many is not a supernatural being or entity but the simple idea of absoluteness. Do you not assume the role of God in th...

The grass is always greener on the other side. We want what we can't or at least don't have. Perhaps this is what you refer to? This is what it means ...

Nor do you have to, for it was already done for you. You can ignore the hand that fed you and is responsible for your existence, but you'll never be f...

How does your OP then? Is it not attempting to facilitate the functions of an absolute proof?
