Well, that is the problem .. people all have differing explanations.. ..with perhaps the majority, deciding it's a 'mystery'. :)

..or better still:- You could have done otherwise, if you had wanted to do otherwise. This means that our destinies can actually be determined ( a destined future ), as those destinies can be formed partly by the choices we wanted to make. (as opposed to 'set') The confusion arises due to our...

A good start.. Yogi bear has it. ;) Well, we are in control of that. However.. .."yoga" in the Western world often entails a modern form of Hatha yoga and a posture-based physical fitness, stress-relief and relaxation technique, consisting largely of asanas; this differs from traditional yoga...

I believe that 'halal haggis' is available in Edinburgh :) ..but not where I live .. and I don't fancy the vegetarian haggis .. oh well. I used to make it myself .. steamed in a pudding basin .. yum. These days, I can open a tin of beans/soup. :(

You are right. One cannot make safe conclusions about a phenomena, just because you are not familiar with it. One can assume that 'flying spaghetti monsters' do not exist (with good reason), but that does not mean that one can say it is impossible for them to exist. ..and welcome to the forum. :)

Illogical .. We are talking about possibility .. even if the probability is 0.000001, it is still a possibility. Perhaps you should look up the meaning of possibility. i.e. Something is IMPOSSIBLE if there is no possibilty. ..which means that too many people believe in something impossible ...

How so? How are you able to rule out that which you cannot detect scientifically? That would assume that mankind knows all there is to know .. ..which MUST be false, surely?

Nor me .. it is quite boring. :)

..but @rocala said 'I do not need to show you any evidence. You have stated that "there is no possibility of any gods". I say that god/s are a logical possibility.' In other words, do you hold by your initial claim .. or not? i.e. there is no possibility of any gods

..should do, yes.

I realize that pain and suffering serve a purpose, and am grateful that I am not 'pain free', as I would probably not be so sympathetic of others. However, I find continual moderate pain to be depressing ( I have arthritis in my back ), and prefer to take a small dose of tramadol (ultram) to...

Hi .. you want to change your nick (username) to 'Truest' .. is that right?

-------------------- -------------------- where e = 2.71828... and i = √-1 and π = 3.14159... ..even Homer Simpson knows that! :)

Many people do .. don't you? No .. of course you don't. You think that people can become gods through demonic ritual. 😑

OK .. but satan does exist? ..and what exactly is satan?

I refer to the "original source" .. and I believe that most ancient religions have evolved into what they are today. We only have to look at more recent Abrahamic religions, to see how they have split into multiple creeds.

..and plenty of plasters! ..and/or thick socks. :)

..or, "look at the flowers and not the weeds". i.e. positive thinking Not at all easy in Winter's chill, with its aches and pains .. but we know that it will pass.

Well, let me tell you a story.. ;) As previously stated, my father was in the Royal Navy, and I had the privilege to live in Hong Kong for a few years (8-11 years old). I met many US sailors at the naval base, as I used to frequent a swimming pool there (for sailors and their families). ..but...

I know little about "the perennial", but I would say that:- 1. Most major religions are originally from the same source Some religions are clearly of man-made ideology, and don't claim to be anything other. 2. They share a common theme of a supreme creator
