I came across this work by the greek philosopher Epicurus which deals with the problem of evil and the question of God's existence also known as the Epicurus's riddle of evil.Found it real good and had to share it with you all...

epicure35 This "riddle" is an example of circuitous thinking in the search for knowledge and understanding. Of course we all question and seek for understanding re the universe, our lives, our purpose, and our creation. However, a reading of the Bible would answer...

epicure35 It is not about "religion" in politics, but rather about God, who, in the first instance, ordained government and established it according to His Word. Religion is the construct of man and his ways of looking at God, morality, the universe, etc. through...

I think everybody is entitled to HAVING an opinion. That is our right... however, I don't necessarily think we all have the same right to SHARE it unnecessarily if it is discriminatory, hateful, hurtful, or just plain rude in...

epicure35 I construed your discussion statement in a more philosophical manner. Nothing I said had to do with personal assaults of any kind. That narrow construction of "opinion" never even entered my mind, because it's not at all a part of "free speech", but rather...

epicure35 "Sharing" an opinion out loud is actually part of free speech, a supposed Constitutional right in the former America. I agree that mean-spiritedness and rudeness are not good, and it is from these "attitudes of heart" that hurt and hate can occur. However,...

epicure35 Of course any language that is new to anyone is difficult at the getgo. Russian has some 18 verb conjugations. This was told to me by my Russian foreign exchange student who said even Russians like himself had difficulty with the language. Of course no...

epicure35 You are so right re "language barriers" that cause misunderstandings. Some languages don't even have words that are equivalent or easy to translate into other languages. What you are referring to in your quote re "old dogs, new trick" is actually an idiom, a...

epicure35 If "staying positive" means having a healthy attitude based on wisdom, discernment, and focusing on what is "true,honorable, good, right, and beautiful", OK. But, if it means in any way denying the truth or righteousness of any matter, that's delusional, as...

epicure35 You should hardly be "blown away", surprised, or nonplussed in any way, shape, form, or fashion re the usurper's DEATHCARE bill. It is designed to give the sewer rat and his pond scum minions total control over our lives. It is designed to destroy our...

In light of shootings in public places, would you consider finding and purchasing body armor and bullet proof vests or backpacks or other safety gear for yourself or your kids? I don't actually think this is such a strange...

epicure35 My first line of defense re "schools" would be to homeschool any child I could. That being said, all that is left, given our ungodly, violence- prone insane liberal -ruled country is to absolutely buy any protective gear possible. HOWEVER, the problem is...
