I think strict atheists are sad people. just my opinion
believe what you want, but there is a hope with religion
Regardless of what caused something, things work a certain way
agreed
To the ancient greeks who didn't have modern science, the idea of Titans fighting in the earth making earthquakes was acceptable
I say the logic of ancient philosophers trumps religion
But the same result occurs
that's your view, nothing wrong there
not my place to say you're right or wrong
I honestly think that Polythiestic religions do a better job explaining "How can there be evil?" than monotheistic religions
The one difference is that I don't believe in any text for faith value . I need to test it
that's cool
I think that evil exists within man itself
its not some outside force
evil tends to manifest itself through selfish actions
This is how I view the existence of evil and purpose. We are born imperfect to enjoy ourselves, to enjoy being granted personalities. We have limits which cause us to have happiness and sadness. We struggle and that gives us purpose.
Have you heard the "How can you believe in god with (Natural Disaster) right there killing people?" arguments?
Once we struggle enough we are known to be wise
I used to fly through hurricanes for a living
Of course @Khanclansith
natural dissasters is kind of my thing
As a philosophy nerd i can now argue against any cynical atheist
I was a hurricane Hunter with the US Air Force Reserves
Senator Cruz introduced a bill for Congressional term-limits.
I like that @Miss Direction
I wish it would pass too @Miss Direction
I think part of the problem in American politics is the career politician
Those limits seem austere to me; four/five terms for Senators & 12/15 terms for Representatives proves preferable to me. I don't know whether that bill will pass due to its severity or whether amendments & debate will increase the number of terms to something more passable.
Depends who it upsets
When you have many gods it becomes easier to accept that there are conflicts between them and then humans are simply the collateral damage
And how much power they wield
I though Cruz called for 4 terms for the house and 3 terms for senate
I truly wish there was no such thing as a retirement pension for politicians
One headline I read was "Cruz introduces bill that would his career!"
@Khanclansith my point is that morality is about perfect balance for raising a sane individual
cool cool @Miss Direction
You are born and are well. You're healthy and energetic but you are not educated or wise.
