Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Where is God?: 1 of 68

The question is controversial. If we humans as little works of God had his omniscience and shared the identity of the Father such as Jesus does, then the local autonomy and responsibility of individual beings would not exist. We humans would be just extra 'windows' for God to look through. Well, He may tune in that view anyw...
Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts Creative inspiration: Where do our ideas come from?: 1 of 50

The human body has a mind capable of imagination. Such creative thought is of the spiritual axis of our human being enabling us to detach ourselves from the solely material deliberations such as might a rock have being weathered away upon an ocean beach, to model an infinite number of ontological restructurings in which diff...
Personal Finance > Spending & Saving (Other) Federal government economic stimulus deal: How will you spend your rebate check?: 1 of 40

If I had received a federal stimulus check in this fiscal year (if it was issued it was lost in the mail) I would have used it to pay taxes. My 2008 tax bill turned out to be two-hundred dollars higher than my taxable income, and I had written to the I.R.S. when I filed my 2008 tax return and asked them to pay down the debt-...
Politics, News & Issues > International Politics (Other) The decline of the US as a world power: 1 of 38

A Republican Party without borders destroys patriotism and fundamentally is a treasonous support for globalism. A Republican Government without borders motivated to support globalist corporatism expands with an amoral quest for abstract profits directed to anyplace on Earth shareholders live. Like the Roman Republic of the w...
Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts What is the soul?: 1 of 37

What is the world/Universe and what is the soul? Such questions regarding the nature of reality build questions and answers upon the understanding of surrounding and contingent issues about what really is. Verbal issues of categorization seek to append existing ideas to comparable ideas in various categories easy to recogniz...
Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts Why the passing of time seems to accelerate as we age: 1 of 36

If time passes faster as human beings age, because of an increasing pace of acceleration of the Universe, do we notice? When younger we regard only the particular immediate perceptions of being as the given. As time passes the continuing expansion of space-time becomes noticeable, for human minds are something of a spiritual...
Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration The case against illegal immigrants' rights: 1 of 34

Adverse possession is a traditional way of taking profit, property and nations by force. Humanity socially evolved its technological place on Earth, yet the ground breaking of Cain killing the pastoral Abel is a metaphor for modern political difficulties of over-population and bad political management skills. Humanity prefer...
Religion & Spirituality > Self-Awareness & Realization Is knowledge truly power?: 2 of 63

Knowledge is power only as a coefficient to the environment and circumstance. If dropped into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean in a Houdini dive casket on a dark and stormy winter solstice night the knowledge one has wouldn't be exactly powerful. This is an example of 'the fallacy of power for telekinesis applications'. Know...
Politics, News & Issues > War & Peace Why US strategies in Iraq are failing: 1 of 25

It was a popular Democratic political tactic of protest to claim that U.S. strategies in Iraq were failing. Actually the 2003 war was a brilliant success and the nation rebuilding was a failure that needed a 'no nation left behind' remedial recovery. It wasn't until the troop surge worked after years of hard police work and ...
Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) Personal testimonies on belief: 3 of 74

Personal testimonies of belief may comprise may topics; incidents or stages in life's way-to borrow a phrase from Soren Kierkegaard- as one has faith in Jesus Christ and develops a close trust in God through experience and thought, reason and logic, and discovers the truth that God is eternal and forever young-outside and be...
