a thought that occurs to me is that if one has the belief that all that is real is only explicable in terms of particles and forces, and that nothing exists that is not one of these, then good and bad doesnt exist either, the same would be true for any concept for that matter.
or perhaps it is only true when reduced to the level of matter and forces, but without the moral force, meaning and purpose that such a materialist only description would entail.
after all, if death is forever, which is materialist view, then what does it matter if a seventy or seven year old enters the grave?
Snare (or anyone else), before the Big Bang did time and space exist?
Who cares??? What possible effect does it have on us. We have a reality. There is a history I can experience through books and artifacts. It's incredibly flipping cool. How can I bother to expend an iota of concern over whether a tree falling in the woods makes any sound if no one is around?

This means for reality to even exist something has to always exist.
Hogwash

I am 0.00% convinced that there is a god
i think wickedness comes from evil people.. there are many people in between the two extremes of, overly good people and overly evil persons.. i do not believe in a devil.. i think he is a concept dreampt up by evil ones to blame bad behavior, as a red herring, on anyone but themselves.. the watchtower makes up attrocious lies, brow beats good people not to better themselves,.
all the while, they are building their own empire.. they say, do not isiolate yourself.
it is not good for you.. but if you don't agree with them and their current teachings, you will be shunned, disfellowshipped.. that can and does, have earth shattering results.. so many things, i was taught as a born in, are now considered apostate teachings.
What is wickedness, and what makes people bad/evil?

it airs live at liberty university tonight at 8 pm est and will be shown in theaters tonight and in oct, one day.

I'm sorry if I burst your bubble. I just can't imagine why anyone would choose to encourage scam artists that want to fleece you. That is the nature of their talent, being appealing, saying things that sound reasonable. We have already done this. We should probably learn from our experience.

greetings, soup lovers:.
i have a huge kitchen at my disposal (not my own); vegetables, cans of this and that and spices are scattered about, prepared to go into a cauldron of minestrone i started a few days ago.
i'm preparing ahead so as to freeze the leftovers to heat up later at home over my hotplate.. nothing like a 6-burner gas range to simmer over!.
Of course! Yesterday I made a fresh pea soup with basil. One of my top favorites is a Mexican chicken soup with Poblano chiles and such.
have you ever come across words that resonate with you?
it doesn't have to be a great gem of wisdom, just something that is meaningful to you.. please share, and if you want to, tell us why it's meaningful to you.. here is something that made me nod when i first read it.... .
"fortunate are those who have learned to see, in the wild things of nature, something to be loved, something to be wondered at, something to be reverenced, for they have found the key to a never-failing source of recreation and refreshment".
"The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins." - Oli ver Wendell Holmes
“There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.” ---Sir Francis Bacon

Groan......................I love these threads............
And by the way, atheism isn't a belief, it's a lack of belief. It can only exist along side the argument of believers.
How are YOU Doe?
