Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Why people believe in God

11 of 134

People believe in God because believing in God creates meaning in their lives. Creating meaning in one's life is important because this meaning each and every person creates in their lives helps distract them from unavoidable existential thoughts.It is easy for people to think about the vastness and seemingly endlessness of t...

Video games are not corrupting our children, video games reflect a change in our society, a sort of change every society experiences and continues to experience until its demise. Technology changes, and with changing technology comes changing hobbies and habits.Parents see their kids stuck in front of a television screen, wit... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Honesty is the best policy

35 of 133

A better statement would be, Honesty should be the best policy.In today's world honesty is not the best policy, but in an ideal world it would be. If people were more secure with who they were, more understanding of other's intentions, and more tolerant of people's differing opinions and practices, then we would never have to... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God The true form of God

9 of 19

God has no form. God is an idea, and his form is shaped by those who believe he exists.There is no way to prove or disprove th existence of an invisible and undetectable, all-powerful being created everything and is watching us at this very moment. Because no one can prove if there is a God, people have to choose to believe h... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Do you always say "yes" when you really want to say "no"?

22 of 44

This is the silliest debate question I have ever seen! I am supporting the "Yes" side, but based on the question, if I agree that: Yes I say "yes" when I really want to say "no", then really I am supporting the No side, because according to the question, when I say Yes, I mean No.So Yes! I say Yes when I mean to say No, and t... More..

In America, God is supposed to be the creator of all things, the power that guides the lives of all living creatures. God is everywhere at all times, taking part in every act imaginable, and on top of all that, we can't even see him! Why is God invisible and undetectable to all human beings?The answer: God is not where we can... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Contemplating the existence of God

124 of 174

Based on my experience living in America, the god most people follow is one that created everything, is all powerful, and guides the lives of all human beings. God is always with us but is never seen. Based on the definition of this American god, it is silly for anyone to say God does or does not actually exist. There is no w... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Gender Issues Does biology or society have a stronger influence on the development of our gender identity?

12 of 16

The development of our gender identity is influenced by both the biological nature of a person and society, but the biology is the foundation of our gender identity.This debate is very much the same as the nature versus nurture debate. I believe that when we are born nature dictates what kind of person we will be by giving us... More..

Arts & Humanities > Ethics Are human beings capable of truly selfless acts

32 of 35

I do not believe people are capable of completely selfless acts unless they perform them without thinking about it or by mistake. A selfless act requires a person to consider the needs of others over their own needs, but a person cannot motivate themselves to perform an act of kindness without finding some benefit for themsel...
