In my case, "a handful of years compared to 350 million" is whatever I think it is.

You, praxis, are right if you are referring only to the collection of brain cells that comprise the conscious "you". But if you include your history t...

Right on, apokrisis.

Shawn says : "Antinatalists are screaming." Maybe I'm just dumb but I don't get it. I don't get the connection. Please explain.

Re - Our God is an awesome God. I assume you refer to the God Jehovah, who is 11 billion years old. Or perhaps to his son, the God Jesus Christ. Or, i...

You say: Shouldn't you be busy putting razor blades in candy? Sorry I don't get it.

Good Luck Here is what I think. I think that we human beings were not created all at once, all at one stroke. I think that we all evolved slowly over ...

The phrase "good/bad things happen to you" is too generalized for me. Good and bad are vague, wishy-washy terms that drift with the tide and shift aro...

I go with Lindsay. I think there are times in our discussions when we do not keep in mind the facts of our own basic mental existence including our in...

If you would allow me a well informed guess, permit me to use a wild, meaningles number. You are correct to, lets see, by a factor of 20 million to 1....

I tend to avoidthe word know because it smacks of an absolute. Do you realize you are talking about talking horses? Do you seriously doubt that there ...

An interestig way to put it. But we are reduced to talking about talking which is is like searching for answers by staring dow at our own naveless

I am asking a religeous question here that maybe can not be answered precisely. Maybe it can best be answered by stating opinions. Is religeon primari...

Religious and atheist thinking are totally and easily compatible as is witnessed by the "atheist" religions, Taoism and Confucianism and Buddhism

I just discovered these notes in my files. Long ago I was a follower of Lao Tzu. I even took Witter Bynner to war with me. But I have forgotten most o...

Again I might suggest that we spend more time examining questions and less on answers. The healthy thing about looking at questions is that it can be ...

My internet connections range from erratic to non existent.

I am in general agreement. I might add that difficult or obscure or overly complex answers to questions are frequentlynot the problems. The problems a...

My close friend Ray always looked puzzled when asked what religion he was. He said he didn't know what he was because he had never bothered to wonder ...

Quite true. In my own case part of the reason was that I considered that Christian morality was not good enough or detailed enough for me.

What is the difference between social truths and morals?

Hi Athena. We have been discussing myths but, unless I missed it We have not been looking at specific myths. When I grew up we had several myths for c...

That is why it is named: "Unseen"

I consider confession to be a very valuable form of mental therepy but also, I am witness, it can contribute to licentiousness. "Okay, we're forgiven,...

You are correct. I shouldn't have used the word: "eternal". I say we are 350 million years only in a very narrow sense. When I say "we" I don't mean w...
