I see. My apologies!! I misinterpreted your comment.

Myabe i should have quoted both comments. Goodness was being discussed, not the beginnings of the universe, although such things i find quite interesting and would love to discuss. Etu Malku propsoses that darkness comes first, in which i can only surmise he/she means darkness is the opposite...

not necessarily

and...the discussion begins where? :)

Though i'm sure it has happened at some point i have never come across any mother that has killed her child and have most certainly never even heard of a case whether the mother has justified it as being her right to do so and society agreeing. Personally i believe we humans are inherently...

I maybe being a bit dense here, but i feel the ambiguity of the first post has left me slightly confused on what zero-sum games actually are...would anyone be so kind as to explain a bit more?

I agree to some extent but i believe greed is inherent, and the greater the technological manufacture of things, the more money involved; for the minority of course! As the saying goes "the knowledge of skill, gives way to the want of skill" and the knowledge of the wealthy will make others want...

Personally, i feel it's a bit demeaning to call something as profound as life merely technology, but that's just my opinion. I also think that the purpose of technology has pretty much lost its way somewhere over the years. The beginnings of technology seem more of a way to make life easier -...

Sorry for the late reply! But is your post referring to mine or someone else's?

Are you implying that living organisms are a form of technology? Seems abit of a crude way to describe it...

Just to clarify: i am not picking on religion, but am asking in regard to all philosophy. I only use religion as an example as one could think that it is the philosphy that requires the least amount of physical evidence - and thus called faith. I know how touchy such things are and i in no way...

So would you think that maybe the fear of the unknown is what leads us to seek assurance from something more powerful than ourselves? Maybe the only reason we turn to one of these many religions is possibly because we seek comfort in the lack of knowledge. The greatest vice of the wonderful...

I believe you may be taking this abit out of context. In regard to someone surviving, well, many necessities are inherent; as we are born with the "knowledge" to breathe we are also born with the knowledge to what we can and cannot eat, not to jump off a cliff, not to step into fast moving...

Just because we aren't told that the sky is blue, can we not still see the difference between the sky and say, a green tree? Things came before words. We do not need to be told that the sky is there, we are merely told what to call it.

I have just been meditating upon a rather intriguing (at least to me) thought. Imagine this scenario: you have just been born this very moment. You have no knowledge of the past. This is your first moment in existence. What would you believe? Honestly. Would you still believe there is a divine...

How should anyone know what Jesus would say upon the subject? What do YOU think? Trust in your own moral reasoning. God has given you everything you need already.

Hahaha!!! He would indeed!!

Ahh! I'm glad you think so! :)

I wouldn't say spirituality is beyond opinion. Everything is subjective to some point. Immanuel Kant has written much about reasoning. There is a good story that tells of Buddha leading several blind men to an elephant. Buddha then asked which each blind man thought was in front of him. One...

"Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power." Not buddhist but....
