xanderkage @xanderkage (100) • India 8 Apr 13

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...

There is a difference in HAVING an opinion and STATING it!!

mommyboo @mommyboo (13174) • United States 4 Mar 13

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 "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,...

Misunderstandings can occur when there are language differences

stary1 @stary1 (6611) • United States 21 Feb 13

I often see misunderstandings in internet discussions that clearly are the result of a misunderstanding in languages. Whether it be the use of terms or expressions or grammar, it happens. I am encouraged to see most understand but...

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...

Would you buy body armor or bulletproof backpacks for your kids?

mommyboo @mommyboo (13174) • United States 19 Dec 12

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...

Fatcat44 @Fatcat44 (1141) • United States 31 Aug 12

What's wrong with schools today?

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 28 Aug 12

I think this article sums up a big issue. Lack of "qualified" teachers. It seems a teacher in Atlanta felt she had to cheat and give the answers to students because "‘I had to give your kids, or your students, the answers because...
