    Why does God allow suffering? Good suffering or bad suffering?

    Hi there, This was not my discovery - a friend of mine at TAFE (Technical And Further Education) coined the idea and I was so impressed I made sure he knew I would remember it. The question is: Why does God allow suffering? The return question is: Good suffering or bad suffering? It...

    Even though I am not a Christian, I have had a personal encounter with the creator. It happened along time ago, and I would say that if the light itself wanted me to comprehend it's existence, then I think that it's worth dying for.

    Is belief a choice?

    Given any proposition p, is it a matter of choice to believe that p is true (or false)? It seems to me that if I strongly believe that p is true, then I will not be able to simply choose to believe that p is false. And, likewise, if I strongly believe that p is false, then I will not be able to...

    Unsimplifiability, proves Darwin was not intent on developing a working theory...

    Hello, So yes, there are standards that have to be kept. A cohesive theory is one that sets out to complete what was undertaken, not beach halfway - in the context of Evolution, it is evident from the fact that it cannot be simplified, that Darwin was not intent on the theory culminating in...

    God's Role in Marriage?

    Hello All, Today I ran into an article that presents an idea I have never heard of: "God gives us freedom to choose if we marry and, by extension, whom we marry. There’s no biblical support whatsoever for the idea that we decide if we want to marry and, if we choose to marry, then God tells us...

    LDS Jeffrey Holland's example makes me question LDS commitment to freedom of religion and conscience

    It's kinda funny given how much the Mormon religion apparently prizes free will and freedom of religion that their leadership sometimes slips up and says things that are diametrically opposed to this publicly tolerant face. Apparently since the LDS religion means everything to their leader...

    Battle Strategy: Thankfulness

    Imagine if you will a wagon with a driver being pulled by two horses. The two horses are your mind and your emotions. The driver is your will and the cart is your body. The two horses, your mind and emotions, will take your body, the cart, wherever your will, the driver, wants to go. Simple...

    Godlessness and choice

    Most of the godless people I meet today (including agnostics and atheists in that) consider science and choice as the pillars of reality. Science defines how we look at the world and assess the validity of truth claims and choice is the basis for morality and law. I accept that there are other...

    Should education and faith be separate things or intertwined?

    Given that most of the world has a secular public system this does play into the debate over public/private/or home schooling but what I'm really asking here is whether or not a person, especially a child's faith and education about their faith should be kept separate from the rest of their...
