I'm not sure I understand how Christ is the way to God (and the only way apparently)? Why even if I live a life as any follower of christ would, sans the belief that Christ died for me or that god exists, would I still not be worthy of heaven in gods eyes?

Wouldnt this analogy only work if it was gods' fault that we where in debt? He owns every company we are in debt too, takes all of our things and throws us out on the streets then his son comes and for decides to give us back everything but only if we give total blind devotion to him and his...

What was god's orginal plan for us? Would we have eventually learned everything that eating from the tree knowledge gave us or would we have been forever stifled in our thoughts? If the latter, what would have been the point of creating an entire race of happy robots?

I find that the hardest to keep in mind when I make quick decisions. I really can't think of anything to add. People just need to realize everything they do affects both people and nature, and while people do have a certain power over nature that other animals do not, we are still part of...

I don't know if I want to.. because I have no clue what heaven is like. If it's floating aroud on a pretty cloud for eternity then no. But if it's a place where I can expand a thought to infinity with out temptations and the weakness of a body, yes. Or heaven could be something I can't even imagine.

If you mean do I not want someone to ask me questions such as you did, then no. I'd prefer it if people did that. If you mean did I reply 'courteously and cordially' just for the purpose of you not being mad at me, that also is no. If you meant something else entirely different... then im...

My understanding of Buddhism if of the very surface level of it.. I've been reading "Buddhism: A concise introduction" by Smith and Novak and I've been googling around reading what the internet has to offer. I like the idea of not letting the six main things that often get in the way of other...

If being sane is thinking there's something wrong with being different, I'd rather be completely f*cking mental.

assuming you mean the uncertainty principle, it has to do with predicting the path of a particle. A bit different than finding its exact location or speed.

We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. - MLK Jr.

I dont know about any one else.. but I don't think I could not sin for eternity even if I did have a chance to try and stop, at least if I was still in a form resembling that of a human and tempted by all the same things. I think, untill I'm dead and shown otherwise, that nothing happens.

From what I understand of string theory, there is indeed different universes. I believe it is, at least in the case of string theory, a way to explain why gravity is not as strong as the other forces. It says that gravity can float between the different universes and the other forces...

Even though the question was what you would change about the world, almost everyone thus far have answered how they would change people. Which shows, I think, that people think of humanity as the world and changing that mindset is what I would change.

Sounds like the Schrodinger's cat paradox.. if you put a cat in a box with a poison that has a 50% chance of killing it, the cat will exist in both a dead and alive state (superposition) untill you open the box and look. Superposition is a problem in quantum physics, we can either know exactly...

Do babies have a consciousness? Untill one learns a language and can start putting together ideas, they are very much like an animal.

While looking up some info on the different types of Buddhists I came across this forum and I have decided to add what I can to this community.. and hopefully learn as well. I don't really know what to say to go about introducing my self, so I guess I'll just give the current state of who I...
