i was reading this book earlier and one of the storylines involved angels, except they were evil.
in the book it said that angels were out to kill ordinary people coz they weren't seen as "pure", but wouldn't that make them as bad as everyone else?

so, are angels really that "innocent"?
(i know it's just a book but it got me thinking...)

Why is it that people seem to keep posting random questions about "anything" and "everything" in the philosophy section? Questions about poems, love... current affairs etc. Why are there so many non-philosophical questions in the philosophy section? Why can't people post them in the other forums? Why do people keep posting irrelevant random question in here??? What would / do you consider to be philosophy questions??? What would make you decide to put your question in here and not else where?? How do you DECIDE what to put where??? What IS philosophy and what isn't? In your opinion....

Would Tiger Lily, Tink, or Wendy win his heart?

Christopher Robin has only one female that represents his characteristics in Winnie The Pooh. And that is Kanga (The personification of his mother?) Rabbit is obsessive compulsive, Tigger is Manic...etc...Can he ever love someone other than his mother?

Every time a man or woman tells me the origin of good is not found in religion I have to laugh so hard. I promise it will be the end of me. Though I find nothing funny about religion or people's beliefs. I laugh at those who say evil does not exist. I laugh at those who say God is nothing more than imagination. I laugh at those who will cry when they realize they are no more and no less real than God. I laugh at those who make me laugh, because they say man is not evil by nature. I laugh because they say, man is good by nature. I laugh when you say, evil does not exist, but I know goodness does.

The world is a glass half empty and half full. Ignorance is no excuse for making me laugh so hard. When I move forward, I can take a step back, if I move left, I can step right and vise versa. It is illogical for you to say one does not exist without the other.

My favorite joke is, people said you can know too little, but you can never know too much. LoL. Sure. Water can never be 2 hot

Do you see around you and visualize hollow in all which is or do you just see with your eyes?
Though my logic appears to be deranged, why does it make logical sense?
That, that is, is not. That, that is not, is. Why are they possible to say, and why would think they are impossible to exist?
What is a paradox, and a parallel universe, so on, and so on? After all science is as logical as it's believer and it's creator. Man logical hardly, we created logic. We had to define the entire world around us, thus creating it into logical data.
The world was once thought to be flat, I am now telling you it does not exist and it does.
Ironically I cannot convince you that you are not real, because I am not real.
If you don't see what I mean, you are too far behind.
Look at all my questions, read and find clues to the puzzle which reveal the truth behind all that is in existence, including all that isn't.
Logic has become truth after years of questioning each theory in our existence.

If it's too hard for you, just admit you don't know. Those that answer I want to see your honest opinion, one that comes from your heart, and share with us your thoughts. What is a perfect existence?

Mine is a world which exists and does not exist. For all that is inside is make-believe and yet seem real to each other. I believe in one where everyone has choice, but cannot choose to be more or less than others. A world where every limit is limitless and yet it has a limit. A world that knows no evil, but evil itself. A world where "nothing exists" and "nothing, exists". A world where I am God of my existence, and yet where it is possible to believe in a God higher in power, truth, good, love, and all which I could admire, so that on days I felt meaningless or weak, he'd give me strength. A world where everyone I love could experience everything I could. A world of dark light. A perfect world, with an imperfect view. That is my idea of perfection. - anything less & we'd be puppets

There are many logical conclusions through reverse logic. A.K.A. every door / possibility has a key.
1. Every day has a tomorrow, tomorrow does not exist.
2. Today comes from non-existence and ends in non-existence.
3. Look at the big picture, when the world ends, what will remain of our existence?
4. Life is an endless cycle of perfection "a perfect circle" between realms of truth and lies. Thus a prison we cannot escape, for death might equal a fate far worse.
5.Everything we believe can be seen as make-believe. A.K.A. a world of sand. We build the world around us from nothing but grains of sand. A.K.A. from scratch.
6.Reverse logic proves: That, that is, is not. That, that is not, is.
7.Everyone alive believes in something. A.K.A. "meaning" to their meaningless lives.
8. What is logical about logic?
9. What proves us to have a good nature? A.K.A. make-believe A.K.A. lies give us life
10. If everything that is made up is questioned, does that not reveal an empty existence?

I’m Bahai. We believe an educator is needed.
Education is of three kinds: material, human and spiritual. Material education is concerned with the progress and development of the body, through gaining its sustenance, its material comfort and ease. This education is common to animals and man.
Human education signifies civilization and progress - that is to say, government, administration, charitable works, trades, arts and handicrafts, sciences, great inventions and discoveries and elaborate institutions, which are the activities essential to man as distinguished from the animal.
Divine education is that of the Kingdom of God: it consists in acquiring divine perfections, and this is true education; for in this state man becomes the focus of divine blessings, the manifestation of the words,..This is the goal of the world of humanity.
Now we need an educator who will be at the same time a material, human and spiritual educator, and whose authority will be effective in all conditions...
