I'm interested in how many people of faith understand the psychology behind their need to believe. Do you believe in God with the understanding that the belief itself is the force behind the power?

I wish people got what they deserved - instantly. Instant retribution for wrong doing, instant serendipity for righteousness. Pure justice.

There are thousands of years of written history, of which The Classical-Christian nations are really understood or need to be understood in western society. On top of that, there are thousands of "tracks" to take withing even individual natural sciences, social sciences, literature, etc. to "pick" from.

Can you give up understanding physics in order to spend more time studying history more than you already do? Would you be willing to drive into knowing everything about the history of railroad therefore giving up knowing the history of manned space exploration?

If you're like me, and you have many interests that you want to understand, how do you pick? How do you make an order of operations? I am paralyzed by knowledge -- I don't even know where to start so I end up not reading at all, because I feel like picking the first book to read is a monumentous decision, like buying a car or a house.

With women becoming more and more prominent in government and politics, how do you think the world would be different if women were the main leaders/rulers?

1. First of all, do you believe in fate and destiny?
2. Second of all, do you think that our lives our determined by fate and destiny?
3. Does God control our destiny and our choices determine our fate?
4. Would you agree with the fact that God knows what we would choose, but still gives us free will to choose for ourselves?
5. Do you believe in free-will over fate and destiny?
6. Do our lives fall only under free-will, fate and destiny, both, or somewhere in between?

with personalities, that developed as we do now but with no bodies. We live life as we do now, meet our significant others as we do now but everything was based on our inner selves? And only at the end of our lives are our faces and bodies are revealed to our mate. Can you imagine how this would change ourlives?

How does philosophy deal with the rather simple fact that it is much easier for people to understand an idea than it is to think of it- to come up with it? My intention is not just an intellectual idea, but also a tangible idea, such as a light bulb or anything like that, if you know what I mean. I will gladly welcome expansions on this subject and anything interesting related to this fascinating area (I guess it has something to do with Kant's theory of perception)
