This is about analogies used as the means or method used by many to bolster their arguments in philosophy.

Here is some useful info about what makes an argument sound"

A02.6 Soundness
It should be obvious by now that validity is about the logical connection between the premises and the conclusion. When we are told that an argument is valid, this is not enough to tell us anything about the actual truth or falsity of the premises or the conclusion. All we know is that there is a logical connection between them, that the premises entail the conclusion.
So even if we are given a valid argument, we still need to be careful before accepting the conclusion, since a valid argument might contain a false conclusion. What we need to check further is of course whether the premises are true. If an argument is valid, and all the premises are true, then it is called a sound argument. Of course, it follows from such a definition that a sound argument must also have a true conclusion.

Assuming there is a God, and we were created by him/her, the creation seems incomplete or untruthful to the creator’s talents, as we think he/she to have.

I must subject myself to the understanding of a creator artist, sculptor, etc. What I mean is this, we believe that Gods is perfect, as such would want to showcase his "talent" in his creation.

In the Bible we were created in the image of God, similar to a artist or sculptors greatest work, where they would try to remove any flaw they see in themselves, or in the case of grotesque drawings add them.

Since gods whole creation is not only a image, but soul, and mind, I must ask weather or not he added his flaws, or removed them, thus making us more perfect then "he", or are we incomplete, in which any flaws the creation has is the result of incompletion. Thus the lives we live are apart of the creation, and Prophets are the tools use in the process, to remove flaws.

I.E. Be Perfect as the father in heaven- Jesus

I've discovered a couple of years back that you have to do something that you love (not sleeping, eating, or being lazy), and waking up in the morning looking forward to doing it.

More of my precious stock of drivel for ultrascrooge to bastardise

Lost Keys
(A postmodern Haiku by Penfoldius Gobers)

Has anybody here lost their keys?
Don’t think
Don’t pat your pocket
But remember the sensation
Of wondering
When in that moment of doubt
You existed in two states and only later
Did you force reality to crystallize
And only one outcome was allowed.

Such is the nature of the realm we explore
Where we perceive the first glimpse
That the world no longer rests
On pillars of Newton and Einstein.
Where all the math turns inward
To unpick our cozy logic.

On and off
Two ways to avoid the true nature
Of a creation which is not so defined
Not compatible with human mind
Blind
As creators of our own perceptions
All we see is real
All else deception

Has anybody here lost their keys?
Don’t think
Don’t pat your pocket
But remember the sensation
Of wondering

I'm 14 years old and from Staffordshire. I have won several awards for both my work in Drama and English. I am taking GCSE Drama soon.
I am interested in script writing (I am currently writing a police drama that I will submit to the BBC)- but mainly I am interested in becoming an actor. Any advice for someone my age?

To most people (with a weak soul) is a horrible thing to experience from losing a loved one to losing someone you know like friends but death is a natural cause of life because without death there isn't anything (like someone died fighting for freedom or changing history or a new life reborn). Death is just the the way of life (GET USE TO IT) and to live with.

Personally i think that Twilight by stephenie meyer should(they are thinking about it but it isnt for sure yet)<---------that was for anyone who felt the need to be sarcastic and say that they are making it into a movie! The Pendragon series by D.J. Machale would be awesome as a movie. The Artemis Fowl series too. I like the Ranger's apprentice but i'm not sure that it is famous enough to make it.
