    God's ''will'' and ''plan'' doesn't exist.

    You should accept that whatever you think God’s plan is for you life is all just your guesses, hopes and sometimes delusions. If this was not so you would not have been in such torment. What you need to accept is that He knows this is the case, and chooses to not relieve you from it. The big...

    Is meaning man-made?

    I think meaning is simply a word given to a mental state which is sparked off when we are aware of something that has value to us. Something has value if it serves some purpose. That is why meaning is a mental state and not something universal. The universe as a whole can only have meaning if it...

    Is meaning man-made?

    There is no such thing as objective meaning. The universe and all it contains is entirely without meaning. Innumerable things live and die in this universe without having any effect and, in an almost infinite amount of cases, without anyone even being aware of their existence. This has been...

    !!! America's 10 Most Wanted !!!

    In some previous posts I asked the question: what effect does violent games have on people? and most people said non. So at least YOU think this one might have a negative effect. The point is these games get more realistic and everyone says that's great but will not affect me. But what is also...

    !!! America's 10 Most Wanted !!!

    Here is a site you should have a look at. http://www.americas10mostwanted.com I asked the question on the game area but I think it is more relevant here. We have had shooter games where you go out and kill some computer character for some time. But now, with this game, you have to go and...

    --- America's 10 Most Wanted ---

    So, from a Christian perspective, what do you think about a game with a theme like this one? Have a look at the site: http://www.americas10mostwanted.com Killing real people (OK, in a virtual world). I suppose they are seriously bad people but does this take it a step to far? What's after...

    Seriously Folks

    You are just pushing the argument back. If our meaning lies in God then what is the meaning of God's existence? If he is his own meaning why can we not be our own meaning? If he gives meaning to us and we to him why can't we do the same with each other without the need for a god to exist? You...

    Where are they now?

    Christian teaching isn't determined by the opinions of men, but by their interpretation of scripture.

    is anger ever a useful emotion?

    nb_christseeker, I appreciate your concern for my wellbeing and asking me to safe myself from my own foolishness but I think you got it completely wrong. I wanted to answer you in private but I think it’s better if I clarify myself to everyone. I do not think God is evil but the way some...

    is anger ever a useful emotion?

    I know that but if God made humans then he also defined the fundamental rules of their minds. Then he placed the principle that we can only form strong, lasting relationships with things that are acceptable to us. Then he placed the principle that we need to reject elements in our society that...

    is anger ever a useful emotion?

    This God you describe sounds like something out a period long past. We have, in the mean time, become more civilized and I really hope that, if there is a God that he has kept up with the times. The God you describe there is one that needs to be followed in fear because he has a vicious nature...

    is anger ever a useful emotion?

    If Jesus truly became angry then it showed his humanness, not his godliness, which is fair enough, but we have to accept then that Jesus also sometimes slipped up. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying anger is bad, just that if you truly understand human nature and your prime motivator is...

    is anger ever a useful emotion?

    Anger is not the issue at all. Anger is merely a reaction and how you react on that anger is an indication of your level of self control. The real question is why do you become so angry? In this context anger is a good thing because it pops up a little flag every time something touches this...
