Do you believe the sky is blue? Is it because you choose to believe, or because you can see it? If you say you believe in something does it mean you are convinced, or you choose not to question or think about it any more?

******Please read everything before answering.*****
Why don’t you believe in God? Do you hold a belief in anything of a higher power? How is life without God? I am writing a paper… I’m not a holy roller…I don’t go to church and I don’t preach. I know my life is good without him but I need to know about yours

*****please serious answers only.******

My Step-Father wrote:
We are surprised that you are getting epiphanies, like Mozes, Jesaja and Joseph. You must be special. Just kidding of course. It is sad and embarrasing to learn that a near and dear friend committed suicide.

Question1. Diference of the word epiphany?
Question2. What is the story of Mozes has to do with what I wrote?
Question3. Why is committing suicide embarrasing and for who?

I had a incling that Jesus knew of Buddha, that he had traveled to india and learned about him. Because he had alot of teachings that Buddha had, that were outside of the norm for a 13-30 year old Jewish male of his time, but not outside the norm for a indian male, or someone who been to india. So in thinking this I would often point out alot of things, but today I came across this site and it had alot of thing that are very intesesting one of which speaks on the fact that Jesus or St. Issa had spent seventeen years in India and Tibet. From age thirteen to age twenty-nine, he was both a student and teacher of Buddhist and Hindu holy men. The story of his journey from Jerusalem to Benares was recorded by Brahman historians, and today they still know him and love him as St. Issa. Their 'buddha'
This is the link to the site, I think you all should bookmark it

This a more or less accurate quote from The Brothers Karamazov, by Dostoevsky, where it was assumed rather than questionned by one character.

Please note that this is posted in the philosophy section, so it would be much appreciated if the biggots could keep their proselytism in check.

Do you ever think that your life is something that someone is just imagining and no I do not mean GOD.I am getting so sick of those answers.But someone actually thinking you up and thinking about what you should do next just like a chess game.Your getting manipulated because someone in their own mind wants you to.

OK let me make this more clear. If an omnipotent being creates something and knows what it will do before he even creates it, then he has in effect done it all himself, so the concept of true "free will" is not really valid. Get it??

people think they knows who is Jesus, but what is CHRIST? Christianity definitely in Jesus, about Jesus, around Jesus. Very delicate nuances here, be creative, smartie
