Or are we human because we gaze at the stars?"This is one of the many philosophical points that may arise from simply walking home one night and glacing up into the night sky only to find yourself in awe at just how small and insignificant we actually are as individuals.I think "...

Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Should the bible be taught in public schools: 2 of 27
If the Bible is relevant to the course being studied, for example one such as Christianity, then yes I do believe the Bible is a key aspect of education. However I do not agree with it being taught as a fact-based and matter-of-fact topic. I believe a far more philosophical appraoch should be taken with the Bible and you cann... More..
Arts & Humanities > Poets & Poetry Does society need poets?: 3 of 39
As Coleridge so wisely stated: "poetry is the best words in the best order".Poetry has that wonderful ability to capture the minds, hearts and emotions of absolutely everyone. The sheer number of different styles and formats means that it is almost impossible for someone not to find something that they can connect with and re... More..
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Facing the past: 8 of 89
A MOMENT CAPTUREDMarch 1949As the shadows danced across her face a single tear crept down her aged yet softened features, and with a sigh of resounding finality Claudia closed the door on her past for the very last time. She lingered upon it just a precious moment longer before feeding it to the hungry flames before her. She ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Faith and reason: Search for truth: 28 of 111
Scholasticism, the combining of reason with faith, has always seemed rather paradoxical to me. The reason being that faith and reason appear to rest on totally different premises. Reason, relies on proof, analytical, objective evidence that has been well-thought out and rationally decided on. It is the view favoured by scienc... More..

Religion & Spirituality > New Age Concepts Is God an old notion?: 6 of 14
Reading this title I was struck by two interpretations of the term 'old'.1. Old as something being ancient, that has been around for a long period of time and people have come to recognise.OR/AND2. Old as something that people are now tired of hearing about as it has been around for so long and been used to explain away anyth... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) The entrance requirements for getting into Heaven: 16 of 34
Assuming that Heaven does indeed exist, I personally am inclined to believe that faith or belief in God is not necessary as a requirement for entry into Heaven. Many would disagree with me here but I believe that the most important aspect is the moral behaviour of the individual and how they feel about their actions. Using th... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Is it against Christian principles to judge others?: 34 of 60
Christians all too often feel they have the right to judge other people when infact, Christianity is not about judging people at all. Christians should direct those that they feel to be in the wrong onto the path that they believe to be right. In a Christains eyes noone, noone, should be condemmed for what they do. Nobody is ...
