Philosophy (Arts & Humanities) - November 2007

i can understand the church's frustration with the super-nova as well as astronomers, philosophers, and just daily citizens. it seemed to be a general consensus that the bodies in the outer sphere were unchangeable, and i believe there is a sort of comfort that must have come along with thinking "yes, there is a heavenly body that is unchangeable and perfect".
kepler's nova changed all of this.

Are you a real person?

The word "person" originates from the latin word for an actor's mask, "persona". Per + sona, translates as "with sound". The actors mask had the property of being able to amplify the actors speech, so that all could hear it. Anyway my questions are: Do you think that we all have these masks that we use to present ourselves to others? And that these masks are constantly changing to "align" ourselves with others? Have you ever really asked,"Who's behind the mask?", "Who is it that can see the inside of the mask, but is not the mask itself?". "Who is the real "Person"?, "Is it the one behind the mask, or the one who "is" the mask?". "Why do we need these personas?" Looking forward to some interesting answers.

You won the Sperm Lottery! Do you feel important now?

Here's an interesting perspective on life I have:
I believe every single living person has won the lottery at least once! This was allowed for and done in our process of being conceived. Okay so you've never won that damn money lottery and you’re not a millionaire, that's ok that’s not what I am talking about. You are here alive today and that is freaking amazing! Let's look at the staggering odds you beat to even be born; the average sperm count in just one ejaculation of a man ranges between 120-160 million little spermies. You at one time were of but one single sperm swimming against at least 119 million sperms on a race to see who'll fertilize the egg to then be born someday. CONGRADUALATIONS, against all odds you made it. So you've actually won the lottery of life! Now if that's not mind bogging enough imagine this, you only had one shot at making it to the egg, and your only allowed to choose to shoot threw one single ejaculation out of the hundreds of ejaculations that a male will experience in his lifetime! If you were even just a little off on choosing which ejaculation wave to ride or how fast or slow to swim you would seize to exist! So once again CONGARADULATIONS YOU'VE WON THE LOTTERY OF LIFE! Now whether no matter what sperm made it, it would of still have been you but just with a different genetic gene code (male, female, handsome, gruesome) is a whole other subject in itself so let's not even get into that one HAHAHA

Which card would you apply for with bad credit, ChaseFreedom Visa, or Chase BP Visa?

I had a card from Chase before and I was 30 days past due. I pay the debt off, and now I close the account. Now I am trying to see if I can get another one. I messed up bad, and now they are going to deny me another credit card. I have so many inquiries on my credit report. I messed up again.

My credit is bad because of the 30 days past due, and now it is on my credit report. What am I going to do?

Is whether or not we have faith God's sole chriteria for judging us worthy of salvation?

If you answer no then we are not saved by faith alone.

If you answer yes, then why does every passage in the NT talking about judgement say that we will be judged by our own works, deeds, what we have done, etc...?
(Mat 24, John 15, Rom 2, Rev 20)
