I just watched this talk http://www.ted.com/tedtalks/tedtalksplay...

In which dr. Barry shwartz says our society has reached the point where we have too much choice. Basically, we have so many choices in the market and in other things, such as medical care, we have no choice but to always feel guilty that we could have chosen somthing better and that it makes us afraid to make important choices, such as where to go to college.

My question, do you agree, do you think we have too manychoices in today's modern society?

I mean.. you exist correct? at one time you didn't, right? so, given logical explanations of death you will no longer exist once again right? how many universes are there? how many different places where beings exist are there? are they able to produce life? whats to stop you or anything from existing once again in some weird universe or here again on earth?

If existence of the soul cannot be proven empirically (i.e., through the scientific method) is this adequate reason to believe there is no soul? If the soul is something that cannot be demonstrated on an empirical basis, is that enough "proof" that it doesn't exist? Are the only things in the world that exist the things that can be demonstrated through the scientific method, and if something like the soul is not supported by the scientific method (observable evidence) it should be said to be non-existent? All these questions are asking the same thing.

Religion has been one of the top causes of war throughout history,and still is today.Some religous teachings actually promote violence and war. But is there a religious leader who actually promotes peace,and do His followers actually follow Him?

This question from meta physical science is very difficut to answer. If anyone can provide a satisfactory answer I will really appreciate it.

If GOD is a creation of mind (so it seems logically) does it imply that God does not exist ? If yes why yes ? If no why no ?
Please give proper and adequate reasons to explain your answer.

At least it is a good exercise for your intellect if it has not been exercised for long.
