Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Why people believe in God: 1 of 134
People who believe in God do so because it gives them a sense of inner peace that nothing else in life does. If such beliefs in a divine and supreme being brings comfort to their lives, who are we to criticize them for it? Let them be. Besides, there is nothing inherently wrong, neither ethically nor morally, with believing i... More..
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Life: 5 of 275
Life is so fascinating and unpredictable. Day in and day out you can run into a hundred people and nothing happens. Then suddenly-bam! You run into somebody who simply blows you away, who rocks your world and sends you whirling away at a hundred miles an hour. And what do you do? How do you counter that? How do you stop yours...

Religion & Spirituality > Religious Speculations & Criticisms What's wrong with religion: 1 of 55
Let us get it right: the problem is not with religion. There is nothing wrong with religion. The problem is with us, the human race. Remember, religion did not create itself. Religion was created by human beings. All religions of the world, bar none, were created by human beings. What began as a good idea with all religions o... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Religious Speculations & Criticisms Do you need a religion to be spiritual?: 1 of 53
Religion is for the religious, not for the spiritually-inclined. It is for those who are more interested in carrying out religious rituals and rites, and looking good in the eyes of others, than in having a one-on-one relationship with the infinite intelligence of the universe, which we know as God. To be religious, all a per... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Religious Concepts (Other) What makes you believe or disbelieve in God: 1 of 36
Choice compels me to believe in God and nothing else. Not in religion or otherwise. Individually, we each must decide whether or not to believe in God. And we are free to choose as we please. But, to God it matters not whether we believe in It or not. Why do I refer to God as It? Because God is neither male or female. God has... More..
Relationships & Family > Love & Lust Do you believe in love at first sight?: 4 of 111
I believe in love at first sight, because I experienced it.It happened in 1974, in the fifth grade, on the first day of class. I was ten, and Saede, the girl I fell in love with, was only nine. The moment I saw her, I fell in love with her. Did I know what love was back then? No, I didn't. But the fact that we eventually marr... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Spiritual Insights Does God test our faith: 1 of 27
Does God test our faith? That is absurd. God has no need to test our faith. Are we not dealing with a God that knows all and sees all? Is it not obvious then that God has no need to test us? By It's very nature, God knows whether or not we possess "faith." Therefore, it becomes unnecessary for God to "test our faith" about so... More..
Arts & Humanities > Awareness & Reality How do we know that we exist?: 3 of 78
Life has a strange way of replicating itself. From the seed, comes the plant. From the womb, comes the child. From the universe, comes a galaxy. From a galaxy, comes a star. From a star, comes a solar system. From a solar system comes planet earth. Look around you, notice that everything replicates itself. Replication is a un... More..
Relationships & Family > Friends & Peers (Other) A very special friend: 1 of 24
It was a sunny day that summer in 1969. I remember it well, there was a cool breeze blowing that late afternoon while Cicadas churned a loud melodic hum all around me. The dirt under me had felt cool, and it was receptive to me as I played on the ground with my toy soldiers. Birds had been my companions that day, each chirpin... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Questioning the reality of God: 1 of 23
The god depicted by religion does not exist. Neither does the god depicted by religious texts. That this god was created by the human race is plainly obvious. On earth, only primitive human hands could have taken primitive human thoughts about the concept of God and transferred them onto cave walls and eventually onto paper. ... More..
