Well I find myself asking questions to God like: "What form do you come in?" , "Do you exist?" , "What is this world we live in?" , and I really don't...
I'll get started right away. No, given the answerer is an all-knowing being, it should have no problem. All complex problems can be summarized and bro...
Give me any major philosophical work, and I guarantee it can be split up into yes/no questions. Einstein said “It can scarcely be denied that the supr...
Is it this type of god, the "omni-benevolent" kind, that is fair and equal in its treatment of its creations? And why then would life be the focus? Ju...
I started reading about him because of his hymns and advocacy for music. J.S. Bach and other composers of the north German organ school, whose composi...
From 9. The Argument of Miracles " Many years ago, at an otherwise dull convention, a distinguished philosopher explained why he had become a Christia...
Your whole post sounds like a conspiracy theory. It sounds like you're nitpicking anything you can find in the Bible to support your argument that Chr...
It seems that without scientific findings humans naturally despise the primal and claim that mankind is different from animals. I can understand that ...
You know that's interesting, you can carve your own path and describe any one experience in seemingly infinite ways. You could describe someone as sel...
I wouldn't say it's a matter of shyness. Perhaps women are just better at not needing the approval of others or needing something in their environment...
I think of philosophy as the general "pursuit of knowledge". And so there really is no such thing as abstractedness. Everything we say here applies to...

At the moment, nothing except environmental noises (a fan). Haha I've been listening to a lot of J.S. Bach recently and works by other German organist...
& @"creativesoul" You know, that's a question I've been wanting to find the answer to as well! We hear often, "Perfection isn't possible" but when I t...
