Almost all of the socalled spiritual people are after only these 3 things :
1. Your money (Their major and the most ulterior motive)
2. Their own comfort, well being and fame, domination of
innocent or gullible people
3. Sex which will not become public or at least will not hurt their
reputation

And they will go to any extent playing tricks with you to achieve that including very lowly tricks too.

How many of you think this is true and agree with this ?
Do you know of one or more instances where such deceivers were playing such base games ? Why do they do this ?

I wonder about the quality of our lives and what we've accomplished. Was our birth worth the trouble?

Me? I think my life is more one of mistakes I've made and less one of accomplishments. Conclusion? Not worth the trouble.

I believe (like Hagel) that it is only a way of making people work hard without any humanly recompensation or benefit. It is a way in which the higher classes control the poor and exploit them saying they will get their benefit in heaven. I am not an atheist. I am just willing to believe in a large range of things. Anything is possible.

It has been suggested that although we like to think we're adults (or mature teens, at least), we're really nothing but babies, because we often expect people to cater to our whims, and don't often take initiative. Also, people waste a tremendous amount of time and resources in a misguided attempt to gain happiness and attention through pleasure.

Anyway, what do you think of this theory? Do you agree that most of the inhabitants of first-world nations are infants?

As I see it "the good" has taken a stance where its victory is ALMOST certain. It has taken a considerable lead against evil in the world.

Due to this the evils have suddenly staged up their resistance to astronomical proportions. So to make this delay of the victory of "good" against "evils" a short one I feel that all good forces of the world should forget their differences for the time being and unite. If this happens then this uncertain transitory phase will be a short one and the victory guaranteed for the "good".

Do others also feel the same or reciprocate similar thoughts, feelings and ideas ?

Have you ever noticed how some things will just come naturally to some people, but other people, regardless of age, sex, lifestyle or background, just don't get it?

I think common sense may be tied to reincarnation. Lessons that you learn in passed lives make an imprint on your soul, which you can recall in future lives. The more you learn a lesson, the stronger the imprint becomes, and the sooner it becomes common sense in future lives.

Say, you learn that fire is hot when you're 6 one life because you touch it. In your next life, whether you touch a flame or not, you'll understand that it's hot when you're 6 because that's when you learned it last time. In your next life, maybe you'll understand it when you're 5, not because you touched it again, but because your soul remembers it.

This was an answer to a post in Philosophy that surprised me.

Atheists, not scientists, believe its time to end religion. Science never proves or disproves religious origin and all unbiased scientists will cop to that. Only the hard-core atheists use science as evidence for their claims, but they are irrational about it.

The above was a great lead in for:

Then, a leading atheist, based on science, changes his position.

All world problems are important, but we would not be able to solve them if we consider them in improper order. I propose this sequence, because in the absence of love we cannot accomplish anything. And after accomplishing something, if we don't remember to make continuous progress, we will fall back to stagnancy or death.

Now if you take a faulty gene out through genetic screening ... what fills up the space that was occupied by that gene? Isn't there a thing called causuality? Like cause and effect? And is it to simple to say the effect will be there is no longer a faulty gene? How many generations before that gap gets filled?
I know ... we can't know and any answer is speculation. Which is why the question is in philosophy :-)

I believe there is only 1 side to every story, but different people have different perceptions of the actual event and interpret it in different ways.

What does everybody else think?

Regardless of whether God exists or not.
Do you believe it's possible that mankind will evolve, socially, technologically, etc., to do everything we consider worthy of a "God"?
Is human potential to build, create and discover infinite?
Or is there a limit to what we can do as species?

Does our potential have boundaries? Or can we do *anything* with the proper time, evolution and technological progress?

As a german philosopher put it:
"Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and
believers. Fellow creators the creator seeks--those who write
new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and
fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the
harvest."
-- Friedrich Nietzsche,
"Thus Spoke Zarathustra"

Is it possible?
