Looks interesting - I'll try here:

Oh - video shows as unavailable here?

Well, speaking as a non-Muslim, I would presume that if he experienced new revelations from God that people around him did not accept, and instead insisted on keeping to older practices, then I could see that leading to disagreement. :)

That's interesting, because that criteria aligns a lot with my own personal concept of God. :) It seems like a distinction is being made between a personal and impersonal God, but the idea of a personal God seems a later development in human beliefs. My understanding is that in the paleolithic...

Hello and welcome to IO. :) Do you have a faith?

It's not the technology, it's the implementation of it that can be a problem. For example, YouTube starts with tiny subtitles - there used to be a single link to options to increase it, but now you have to navigate through a complete link tree to find the option to increase text size. It's...

Anyway, better if we stick with the topic of covid in this thread rather than politicians. :)

Just finished watching this film and really enjoyed it. It was beautifully filmed, and a couple of scenes were amazing - the above shot of the cardinals with their umbrellas, and of course that amazing shot after the window incident that looked like a renaissance painting. And one of the outdoor...

I've reverted the original post. :) And this thread seems so generally focused on a general question, rather than specifically targeted at a Baha'i POV, that I'll move it to the Belief & Spirituality board for general comments.

And here's the BBC profile on him: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0ln80lzk7ko

Mental fatigue, no doubt, I struggled just to understand what the OP was asking. :)

To be fair, it seems unlikely that people with a history of getting the booster without problem are going to have problems now - plus it still carries of the distinction of potentially reducing the severity of symptoms, much like the flu vaccine. Besides, if people didn't want to follow the...

Lol, I don't know how I messed that one up. :D

I tidied the front a little while back, but I'm not up for a big redesign at present.

This was a massive issue in the Eastern Roman Empire around the 10th century - referred to as Iconoclasm, it was an explosive debate.

I have a book on my Amazon wishlist about Hindu philosophy, but it's proving expensive and difficult to get. However, it was a somewhat random choice as I really don't know what I should be looking for in terms of reliability and coverage. Therefore can anyone here recommended any specific...

I'm afraid I don't remember more - it was all part of the hysteria that the world would end around the year 1999/2000. Nostradamus was claimed to have predicted it, so did Mother Shipton (though apparently she said 1899, but someone extended it to make it more relevant), and there was also Y2K.

Pope Francis has died: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqj42vd1rxlo By all accounts, he seems to have had a very real interest and focus on ordinary people, which made him easily likeable and popular. Of course, as one of my kids joked, because he died at Easter he'll be back in three...

No one in this thread is advocating any of those things. Don't you think it's a bit disconcerting that the only counter to the lab leak theory is to use ridicule - rather than science? :) What I find so strange is that when a lab experimenting on coronaviruses finds itself at the center of a...

The trouble with the editorial is that there is so much government money invested in health services, that if they want medical professions to subscribe to a natural cause origin for covid, they will ensure that is promoted. Also note that the Lancet editorial is exactly that - someone promoting...
