    Net dating - anyone tried it?

    Some common things... There can be a variety of problems when utilizing online dating sites. Some sites expect members to subscribe "blind," meaning that users have little or no ability to search or preview the available profiles before they pay the subscription fee. A majority of dating...

    Net dating - anyone tried it?

    It's good that you had this positive experience, Chris, I get the feeling though that for every story like this, there are a hundred or more who would tell a v different story! Most of those search features on Match are pretty standard for a dating site, albeit the narrower you make your...

    Do we give enough respect to modern philosophers?

    I must admit, Chris, I have not.

    Net dating - anyone tried it?

    Wow, Chris = Congrats! You are about the only person I have ever heard speak in favour, let alone have this level of success from it. There are two kinds of site - the paid for and the free. Some of the paid for sites, including Match I believe, were investigated for what I would call sharp...

    Net dating - anyone tried it?

    Apparently millions do, and there is a lot of money in the market, and a lot of competition. I wonder if anyone on here has tried one, and what your experience was. Did you think it was worth the money? Did you meet many people from it? Were the people a bit odd - :D? What was your...

    Do we give enough respect to modern philosophers?

    As it says on the tin. There perhaps was a time, in various sophisticated cultures, in which the words of philosophers were coveted by the people. Perhaps they even helped shape the political landscape of the day. However, in a modern Western nation these days, if someone introduced...

    Can someone answer me these in simple terms?

    Hi - if at all possible, without quoting scripture, I wonder if anyone would be able to answer the following for me, in as concise a way as possible. Thank you 1) Do you believe that it is only Christians who will be considered for Heaven? 2) Do you have a good idea of what life in...

    What if..? Well, if you do, nothing happens. Things merely go on, as they are.

    So, in short, Jesus early influences were horse racers. Got it. ;)

    Meek

    Very interesting, given that the general idea of a 'utopia' is a united one, in which people like in some sort of heaven on earth. However, what me must remember is this - the 'utopia of one man is the dystopia of another'. For example, you might have an ideal world in mind which would be...

    Meek

    Again, this sounds utopian, since I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that this will be so - none. If anything, the world is a more dangerous place now, than at any other time. And even 'wicked' would be entirely subjective. Jo Stalin? Mass murderer? Sure, but even in the eyes of...

    Have they? How have they? Besides, those you mention may be dead, but there have been other despots since, other brutal state murders, terrorist murders, and simply plain old murders, each day since then. Every few seconds, someone in this world is likely being murdered. Hardly the...

    Meek

    I would love this to be so, but I am afraid that there is one small flaw - the wide variety that is human nature! Unless they invent some sort of pill that when you take it, it expels every negative, hate filled, or loathsome thought, then I am sorry, but there will always be those whose dream...

    Meek

    Which works fine - in a fantasy movie. In the real world, the well intentioned and good of heart, who happens to have no finanical clout, has no power when compared to, for example, the ruthless dictator, or business magnet. This will never change. It has always been that way, in some form...

    how many 'heavens'..?

    And, what if they do? Because they do! I mean, you need only look at how parents label their new born baby a Muslim, a Jew, a Christian, etc. Then they effectively indoctrinate them to share the same beliefs that they have been indoctrinated with. What do you do about that, to protect the...

    The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth Psalms 25:8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. 9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. Psalms 25:12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall...

    how many 'heavens'..?

    Since man walked the earth, there have been a plethora of cultures, and a plethora of religions, to go along with that. One thing unites all - an idea of a magical place that you go to, once your soul gracefully leaves your body, upon death. Now, if we are to afford respect to all, we must...

    Cult? (Buddism)

    Here's the thing. I went down to live in their town for a while. While I was there, her friend was slating the group, and how intense it was, etc. A few short weeks later, she is attending all the meetings, and chanting. This is a girl with a bit of a fractured past, a ropey present, and...

    Cult? (Buddism)

    Thanks. I don't see this lot as inclined towards a physical attack. More of a psychological one. They create a sense of guilt if you wished to disengage from their 'activities'. Steve

    Cult? (Buddism)

    S'pose we could get into a whole thing about what a cult is, and when does a cult become a cult.. Membership fees encouraged? Social pressure to attend meetings, and engage in other activities Being suprer sensitive to any challenge to their system In a v subtle way, use methods to...
