Partially so, partially not. My feelings are as organic as anyone else's. I am aware of how I think and feel at any one time. The critical word there is awareness. My emotions are not separate from myself; how could that even happen? They are my emotions and I have learned to acknowledge how I...

I think that is making it way more complicated than it needs to be. To put it succinctly, guilt is an emotion. Just like happiness or anger, etc.

Thanks everyone!

Speaking of which, back to the discussion at hand. Case in point. You could not be more wrong about what I was trying to say. In point I AM saying that making amends is the right thing to do. One does not need to feel guilty to know one has harmed another (intentionally or non intentionally)...

I have changed some. Under GK I was working on my own understanding of my opinions. Very much a newbie especially relating to the subject of this forum. One example, I wasn't any good at accepting a premise for the sake of a discussion, if I didn't agree with the premise. I've learned to do...

From an Interfaith forum that answer should be fairly straight forward, seems to me. Live by the Golden Rule. Choose love over hate. Turn the other cheek. And so on. Does this not qualify as the definition of being a decent member of society?

Wil in this case you may be being too literal in your interpretation of the Pope's words. This pope has always had an attitude that religions need to do a better job of working towards common goals. I view his statements here in the same vein. He is striving for cooperation, yes. But not...

Because of some very intuitive insight by Tea, I felt it was only proper to post this here for everyone to see. Time for a confession. I was Gordian Knot back in the day. There came a time when I felt I needed to start fresh; too much baggage with my GK. So I became DA. I have not broken any...

Time then for a confession. I was Gordian Knot back in the day. There came a time when I felt I needed to start fresh; too much baggage with my GK. So I became DA. I have not broken any forum rules; since becoming DA I have not posted anything under my old name. GK was left behind for good. As...

Kinda says it all doesn't it.

Greetings and welcome!

That's okay, we of the youthfully challenged are way behind the curve anyway. Once the old folks start using what the kids use, they mass migrate to the next latest and greatest. Whatever that might be I have no idea.

This is an interesting set of statements. There is something deeper there that hit me and I have not quite put my finger on what it is yet. For there are a good many people who believe in a God and who also believe that the 'miracles' in the Bible could not have actually happened. It may not...

Seems you are contradicting yourself. In the first post you claim that the Divine can change natural law; in the second you are saying a Divine can't change natural law. If a Divine can transcend the rules of this reality to do whatever it wants, seems to me it can make a round triangle. I...

It's a purely random chance that maintenance truck happened to be right there. Doesn't make it any less of a blessing!

His most recent role was as a Klingon warlord in a fan movie that was trying to get funding to be made. It takes place just a decade or so before the original series. They did a 20 minute or so preview which was incredible. And he was wonderful! The film is called Axanar and this preview is...

Right on the money, NJ! Best explanation I have heard in quite some time.

But they wouldn't like it labeled spiritual. Which is, I believe, Thomas' point.

Sad day when even the universities are corrupted by conservative radicals.

Just depends on which dictionary you look up online!
