Philosophy - September 2006

In the Peirs Anthony series of novels "Incarnations in immortality" the world (both humans and metaphysical deities) came to the conclusion that God was no longer serving his purpose and ultimately voted him out of office. They came to this decision due to the outdated rules about bastards and unbaptised babies suffering eternity in hell even though they themselves had done nothing to deserve it. I'd personally vote him out of office for his complete apathy towoards what's happening on this planet, considering he's supposedly wiped out the entire human race three times as punishment for bad behavior. Do you think God is still doing his job (or anything for that matter)and if we were to impeach him, what qualities would you look for in his successor?



P.S> if philosophers can ponder time travel and whether superman can breed, they can ponder this one as well--putting it in the religion section wouldn't get me answers, it would get me rebuked,chastised and prayers for my ruination.

Lord Krishna to Arjuna, "Now listen. as regards ourselves and all these kings and others who have gathered here, it is not true to say that they will live long or meet with sure death. If you get rid of your delusion, you will realise that it is not so. What we see as birth and death are due to illusion, Maya; otherwise the entity which really exists is indestructible (101-105). Look if the wind produces ripples on the water, can we say that something is really produced? And when the wind ceases and the water becomes flat, what is it that has ceased? Think over it. "

Feminism is asserting female strengths, such as sensitivity and protection. But feminists are agressive, competitive women. These are masculine strengths.

With the advent of feminism, women began to behave more like men. Society became unbalanced. Both men and women were being aggressive and competitive.

In an attempt to readdress this imbalance, so-called 'new men' emerged. These men were more sensitive and protective - female strengths.

So, now some women are behaving like some men used to and some men are behaving like some women used to.

The feminists - the ones asserting female strengths - are men.

In the 'battle of the sexes' no one has won and no one has lost. Men and women have simply swapped sides. So we are no nearer now to winning the true 'battle' than we ever were - the battle to understand each other.

What is it about human nature that makes certain people want to pick on someone vulnerable? Is it to hide their own fears & insecurities or is it just pure evil...?

No long rants, please. Try to keep it short, and to the point.

Please explain why you think it would be important for everyone on the planet to receive this message.

Post what you like, but anyone who posts *long* passages of *any* scripture from *any* religious text will be reported!

I don't understand how to answer this. We read The Province of Philosophy by J. J. C. Smart if that helps.

When the lights are out and you can see nothing, is color really there or is it only there when you see? Since you can't see color in the dark, how do we know it's there? How do we not know it's there?

I know this is a really general question, and I apologize for that. All I know is I scream in my sleep, sometimes even bloody murder and then have not recollection of it the next morning. My husband is getting really frustrated because he'll ask me and I honestly have no idea what he is talking about. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do to stop?
