Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues If God is so powerful, why does evil exist: 6 of 71
The existence of evil seems to be contradictory to the existence of an all powerful loving god, and yet evil does exist. So, based on some people's failed logic, they assume that if evil exists, then either God does not, or God is thus evil. The reason that I say this is flawed logic is because these people take the assumptio... More..
Food & Drink > Bread & Baking Recipes Recipes: Good cookies: 7 of 50
I have tweaked this recipe for years to achieve perfection. This is a large recipe, but that is because you need a lot to satisfy the cravings that they instill. Every time I make these, there are never any left, no matter the size of the crowd. If you just want to make them for at home, rolling the dough into balls and freez... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Should the Bible continue to be used for swearing-in ceremonies and in courtrooms?: 40 of 254
No amount of swearing on any object is going to stop someone from lying if that is their intent, as the swearing itself can be a lie. Nor will any amount of swearing prove beyond any doubt to those listening that the one swearing is telling the truth. This is sufficient justification to do away with the need to swear upon any...

Religion & Spirituality > Heaven, Hell & Afterlife What happens after we die?: 14 of 53
Whatever happens after death should have no impact on how one's life is lived. Some religions attempt to bribe and/or scare people into living "properly" by using ideas of an afterlife of paradise, or one of unending torture. Those that do not believe in a god will tell you that there is nothing after death. Who is right and ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God How do I know that God exists?: 20 of 75
Throughout the ages man has attempted to prove that God exists, but how can you reliably prove that something you can not see exists? How can man prove the existence of something beyond himself? It does not lie in man's ability nor is it his duty to prove the existence of God. It remains solely with God to prove his own exist... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Do mandatory seat belt laws violate individual rights?: 10 of 33
Seat belt laws only violate the individual rights of people that lack the intelligence to make rational decisions for their own safety. For those that have the capacity to make those rational decisions, seat belt laws are just redundancies. Statistics have shown that wearing a seat belt will, more often than not, save a perso...

Sciences > Social Science (Other) 'Six degrees of separation' explained: 2 of 6
"Six Degrees of Separation" is the idea that we are all connected to each other through people we know to a degree of no more than six people. That means that every person I know is one degree from me, every person they know is two degrees from me, and so on. So, if I know 100 people who all know 100 different people who all ... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Teen Challenges Should teens have coed sleepovers?: 6 of 13
It is hard to pick a side in this debate. Part of me wants to side with "No" simply because when you think on the surface, it sounds like a highly volatile situation: a boy, a girl (or boys and girls), alone, sleeping, and hormones. This sounds like a recipe for disaster. You can almost hear the cries of the baby nine months ... More..
