How do we know that answered prayers are not simply brought about by the Faith that God will provide for us, instead of God actually providing for us because of our faith? Does it make any difference what we have faith in as long as we have faith it will happen? Is it possible to have "blind faith" without any medium (like a god) to put our faith into?

doesnt it seem like we, human beings, view strength as mind over matter, as the victory of the rational vs the primitive and carnal? What about matter over mind, why is it always viewed negatively, and associated with animalistic behavior and promiscuity and ignorance? Cant it be also argued that it is harder these days( due to our cult of rational thought and intellect) to return to our basic instincts, so therefore, strength shoud perhaps be defined as matter over mind?

Okay, there is a three-eyed rhinoceros charging towards you in the middle of the desert. Out of nowhere, an albino tiger with three green stripes around its tail and a maniacal devise covering its left eye lands on top of the rhinoceros. Earlier, the tiger had actually broke its back, right, third-from-the-right nail. Some chocolate milk had also been spilt on the tiger as it had attacked a mess hall filled with wrenches and, of course, chocolate milk in which it decided to roll in. The tiger was not fully covered in chocolate milk as a large vat of strawberry milk had fallen over and spooked it. The rhinoceros, on the other hand, actually had a fourth grade education taught to it by the indiginous people of Australia. It was also Hindu and a vegan. You have a small 9 mm pistol with seven shots in it, behind you is a box of frozen Tyson brand corndogs that are made from mechanized chicken and pork. You also have a powerfully mysterious ring. You also have 3 seconds to make up your mind

Do you think it will be worth it in the end? For eg. Just suppose they threaten your life or the lives of your loved ones, will you still stick to your principles?

I was thinking how do you know which one you are hitting or who hitting you.talking would be pointless as you would just get the run around. he/she may have so many other personalities that you may end up surrounded.

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night. You pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect man (or) woman you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car.

You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first; or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect dream lover again.

Jobs use senoirity as a why they permote people in the ranks. But when skill is not used to promote. Is it not the way we should do this because then all of the best workers and good thinkers would be in charge and all of the idiots would be doing all the work
