    What is the Left (politically)?

    Center left means capitalism with rules and protections, strong middle class, workers rights and protections, anti monopoly, working for the common good including the poor and disabled. It runs the danger of becoming socialism, and over regulatory, and perhaps like every system corrupt at...

    Rejecting people or rejecting God.

    From what I've read of Qur'an and the Bible I have no trouble rejecting it morally. My impressions is that literally it makes no realistic sense. Studying it would be a waste of time. It says nothing good at face value. I don't really need any figurative interpretations of it. Don't need it's...

    Why are some people evil ?

    I think genuine people can be bitter and hateful. I think hatred is different then that. Malicious hatred is extreme. I can't imagine you doing that to yourself over mistakes. People find what they think are good reasons to do that. I think disappointment is as far as it should go. There are...

    What is the Nature of Life?

    Nature to me is the heart of what drives people's motivations. I wasn't referring to the biological nature.

    Why are some people evil ?

    Arrogance in the ego drives hatred. Hatred exists for no worthy, good reason. A wanton drive for superiority, and power drives arrogance to grow. Arrogance grows as often as empathy. Empathy is useful, but it's not the reason for it. Arrogance drives oppression, and corruption.

    Should Ietsism have its own sub-DIR and if so, should it be under this ‘non-theistic/non-religious belief DIR’ or another?

    I'd like to know if there are few or many ietsists. Even if there was a DIR for it it's questionable how many people would find a home there. Til then I'm hoboing it on RF.

    Why is everyone here at RF?

    I've heard of Richard Rohr. I didn't get into his teachings. He's a Catholic priest who appeared on an Oprah Winfrey show.

    Why is everyone here at RF?

    I've noticed that some debates go on forever, and maybe some people are not up to the marathon debates.

    Why is everyone here at RF?

    Glad I could oblige! My reason for the thread was to create a little civility, and help everyone find there way home safely. Lol. I'm concerned for the health of frequent posters.

    Why is everyone here at RF?

    Maybe, depends on a lot of factors I like to think that emotions are like a language but they darn sure can be wrong a lot. I think that's why objectivity was invented. People here depend on me. Gotta keep it running. I won't bicker with that! Lol.

    Why is everyone here at RF?

    Lol. I'm chained to my computer. I plugged into an end user program like Tron, and now I'm trapped in RF land. I'm looking for the MCU. So it's all work here then?

    Why is everyone here at RF?

    Morality, religion, truth, politics, debate etc. is all hot button topics to me. It's those emotions things, who can understand them lol. Agree! I don't know, I hope so. I have disabilities, but I manage my own home. I see! Maybe! I think if it comes down to bickering probably not. The...

    I agree with this! It's a drama, a play, research paper, and anything else you can think of. Thanks!

    Why is everyone here at RF?

    Awesome! I talk about stuff on RF that I don't easily talk about in person. Lucky for Secret Chief! Lol. Irrationality rules! Eternal heck if I know! Ignorance is a constant battle. An unspecified belief in a transcendent eternal reality. Self preservation? I think way too much! Lol...

    Why is everyone here at RF?

    I'm here to seek and explore. I love different perspectives and different ways of thinking, believing, questioning. I'm not here to be social, nor anti social. I have a neverending quest to discover truth and there are many diverse forums here to do that. Hindu philosophy sounds...

    Does Familiarity Breed Contempt?

    The people I'm familiar with are that way for a good reason, nothing contemptible. Those that wear on my soul, I don't like to get familiar with. I suppose no one hits the mark 100% of the time. Familiar being well acquainted on a friendly basis.
