Oh, that all makes much more sense. What defines God's 'interaction with the physical' though? I think most religious people would say that, yes, he interacts with the physical - but only in a...

Well... I see the logic behind some of what you're saying, but it still seems like you're making the same leap of faith in trying to turn the question of God's existence into a tangible, physical...

I'm sure all of us believe murder is wrong. My argument isn't that murder is permissible though - I'm arguing that there's no rational or logical reason to say it's wrong, and that anyone who...

I can appreciate that.. I'm not sure whether or not people 'need' resolutions or not, but it certainly seems to help most of us.



Of course I didn't mean to say that reason doesn't matter when...

What other points of scripture say that Jesus knew the future? He was a prophet like Isaiah, Malachi, or any other one, but he didn't personally have a magical knowledge of the future that I know of...

This is an extremely old thread, but I just now stumbled across it.

In regards to this quote: how does public interest form the rational basis for anything? What's the rational basis for caring...

This question's been on my mind lately. In some debates and discussions with friends of mine (with entirely different worldviews), I couldn't help but notice how high reason and rationality were...

Hmmm, great points. Thank you.

The reason I started writing this was for myself, first and foremost. I had some questions that were bothering me, so I figured I may be able to sort them out to...

Thanks so much for the thoughts and time, Moshea. If you don't mind me asking though, could you specify a bit more as to what you're criticizing? I can totally agree with everything you've said, but...

Hmm, that all makes lots of sense. You really have no idea how much I appreciate all this. That's a great letter you linked, and I've got lots and lots to think about and work on now. You've been...

Good thought, thanks. I hope this isn't too much to paste, but oh well:

Chapter 1

In every respect, Eli Rilke was raised well. His father was manly and pious, and would read him stories from...

First and foremost, thank you so much for your time and much-needed criticism. I really do appreciate it.



This had been my worry exactly. I don't read much fiction, so I guess crafting a...

Sorry about that! Don't know how I missed it.

Hey all,

The title's pretty self-explanatory I guess. I started writing a novel, and just thought I may as well share the start of it and see if anyone has any suggestions or corrections for me. I...

I would absolutely say so. I never picked up on this for years, but I was reading a Jewish commentary and a Rabbi brought up a brilliant little observation about Genesis 3 (the "Fall" passage).

In...

I was just thinking about theodicy, specifically from a Christian perspective. Curious what you guys have to say about this:

At its core, the problem of evil is more of an existential question...

Interesting idea there with the theory of relativity; I hadn't thought of that.

I absolutely agree with that last bit - I'm definitely not saying that everyone is right, or even that everyone...

Thank you all for replying - very interesting stuff for me to read.

I'm not sure I entirely understand the quote above that I'm replying to, so I'm sorry if I reply sloppily or kinda misguidedly....

I'm not sure if this is the sort of answer you're looking for, but here's how I understand it:

This world has some natural, perfect order - the Jewish idea of "Shalom." Everything has a proper...

I've never believed that truth itself is relative or subjective, but I've often wondered if human perception of truth very well can be. Thoughts on this?

Note: the quote below is taken from a...

As far as human actions go, it seems a little bit overzealous to immediately blame them all on God. Unless free will is cruel, (which it could be), God is neither cruel nor responsible for human...

I've always thought, more or less, that 'God' is something everyone believes in in some sort of way.
