Do we only exist because of conflict? Can we ever resolve our conflict?

emptychair @innertalks (23734) • Australia 15 Feb 16

Are God and Love the same thing?

FinalFlight @FinalFlight (3) • Australia 22 Jun 09

They both represent salvation. Love must have come first, the primal instinct, the one that drives everything else, so is God anthropomorphic love? Is the burning desire to see salvation for yourself and the ones around you based...
