& consider you naive & say if you don't know then you shouldn't experience it? Ex: I asked a question on here about politics & voting, & people said that if I don't know about voting, then I should NEVER vote. Also, the people here called me dumb & a conservative, mocking liberals, when I asked about comparing & contrasting them.

***Ex: People also feel like if I have to ask a question about pregnancy & childbirth, then I should NEVER have kids. If I don't know how to play a card game-Spades & wanna learn, then I should NEVER play. Why are people so narrow-minded & act like you don't have a right to learn, grow, & experience? & also, if I experience something new, like buying a car & get taken advantage of, then they call me stupid & say I shouldn't have ever bought that car & that I should NEVER buy or drive a car again. When I ask questions, people say, "Read the fine print" or "You answered your own question." I'm disabled with comprehension problems-why I struggled in school.

A revolutionist perhaps like Christ. You know, pardon me for saying such inane thoughts, but did Christ change anything? Has the Bible helped mankind in any way shape or form? Too many inane questions:
1. Was there goodness or free will before the Bible? Or was man a slave to evil men and women?
2. Does a man's sanity relate to the Bible in any way, shape, or form?
3. Does the Bible affect the world itself, including its value as well as the value of human life?
4. How long before the world remembers the world they live in is just a way of life made from our ancestors, then discover that its foundation is infinitely hollow?
5. We're surround by ageless inherited beliefs and inventions / technology. It has changed our life style, our fashion, but not the world. Not at all. So my final question is in a form of multiple questions.
Is change in existence?
Can perfection change?
Can imperfection change?
Can you change what is not there?
Can you change the world?

Think about it... You are one person in a room... now imagine floating above your house, then your city... getting farther and farther away as more of, "existance" comes into view. Then you are above your country, then the earth, then a few hundred million miles away Mars, Venus, Mercury and the Sun are in view... Float faster, the solar system, the next closest star (26 trillion miles away), then the next, and the next, then eventually the universe. As you continue to get farther out into empty space even the universe gets dimmer and dimmer until it's no longer visible. Its just you in nothingness.

It makes you feel pretty insiginificant doesn't it? This hole planet could just disappear and it wouldn't even amount to a drop of water hitting the ocean.

I always hear this debate of evolution vs creation. I believe in creation, but the debates make it seem like creation can't evolve!!! So what's the deal?

I am mad at my some of my cousins but I just stopped hanging out with all of them. I told my one cousin I am being fair because I don't spend time with any of them. She said it's more fair to be good with the ones that are good with you, and ignore the ones that don't treat you right. Which approach is more fair?

My mother told me this phrase earlier. What does this signify? Does she mean that if one becomes successful people will hate/be envious of his or her success? Or what?

Any help would be greatly appreciated... :)

((non-human animals))

If so, does this mean that cheating is natural?

If not, does this mean animals have higher moral standards than humans?

This is a Q for all those familliar to Plato's view of how a state should be run. I wish to hear pros and cons to some of his, to some, controversial suggestions. And the biggest question - if found good, how to apply it to modern states?

How come smaller animals get eatin by bigger animals? So they can survive? Why survive? Why does the cheetah want to live a long life if he just eats and sleeps? Why do we do what we do if the end is inevitable? Why are we interacting with each other in a huge circle of life?
