    When did talking, as if to oneself, become a sign of mental illness?

    I wonder ... Why it seems at all delusional to think that people don't actually communicate apart from visual, or some other tech device. Belonging to a collective conscious, and what we understand about communication, I find it difficult not to acknowledge the relevancy of our unseen...

    Egyptian loanwords in the Torah

    I was thinking last night about old Hebrew and numerology, and the linguistics involved in the language. This thread caught my attention for that reason. Gematria and Jewish mysticism and the science behind the original letters and numeral association is a fascinating subject. One I know very...

    When did talking, as if to oneself, become a sign of mental illness?

    From Acme Observatory Headquarters: "The doctor now appears to be speaking to himself suggesting the patient is possibly suffering from severe schizophrenia." They don't call this "Loony" Toons for nothing.

    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    I couldn't argue the logic in that statement. The question then becomes about a designer being responsible for the associated intelligence.

    The Shepherd and the Wolf

    Gozer: "I've been sitting here for too many ages waiting for my "back rub" AND I need to pee."

    The Prospect of Going to Hell

    I've held that to be true for a few decades now, that hell equates to the grave. It's also referenced as burning trash heap, among other things. The application of the terms as defined in differing ways, applied to an intended and particular context is a study in and of itself. The basics...

    The Prospect of Going to Hell

    We all choose from our own pool of preference and necessity, so I can understand why many choose less inquiry and study, over more. I have no ambition to learn how to become a professional beekeeper, but I like bees enough to explore the study, if only a little. I remember

    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    The mechanics of life and how each part, piece, element, etc. effects the operation of its many other parts connected to one another, I would think qualifies as something worth investigation if answers and truth are to be considered. Scientific terms are now utilized in some circles, which in...

    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    The term puts you and other people like you off enough that you seem so hesitant to accept its usage that it appears you'd rather the term just "go away" as if it's irrelevant. I feel the same way sometimes (irrelevant), so if this is your stance, then I shouldn't take you very seriously as an...

    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    Depends on who's standing next to me and where we are, I guess.

    Let's TALK about Paul...

    It's the difference between sin and disobedience ... The difference between a spirit of truth and not adhering to an enacted law of the land. Sin isn't necessarily about the laws of the land, but more so about truth and our ability to differentiate truth from error as people and our willingness...

    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    I would agree, actually. How many times would a broken clock be correct if given an infinite amount of time to tell time as a broken clock? I would suggest a broken clock tells correct time correctly as a broken clock for infinity, if not destroyed first with rust and corruption, in which case...

    Just for the brave among us -- analyze a Trump speech.

    Of course, and it is because of the condition of our world, the accusations, some warranted others not, that I employ a security necessary and proceed with caution mentality. I envision or i have envisioned how I must have appeared in times past when living on the streets. A leper maybe, or...

    Building Bridges to the Unity of Humanity

    The earth we live upon and the sun we revolve around, represents one body of the many other heavenly bodies that have a place in the heavens. I prefer to acknowledge these men: Jesus, Bahaullah, Plato, Socrates, Newton, Einstein, and those like them as master teachers. This is due to the...

    Just for the brave among us -- analyze a Trump speech.

    I'm homeless myself. I am required to take caution. I'm also a journalist and a photographer, but I really don't have the credentials so that doesn't truly matter. I'm also the type of fool who would choose the title fool, standing on my concern in contrast to your own.

    Just for the brave among us -- analyze a Trump speech.

    To be cautious as citizens or not to be cautious as citizens? To be cautious as immigrants or not to be cautious as immigrants? To be cautious as government employee's or not to be cautious as government employees? To be cautious as people or not to be cautious as people? What is your...

    Building Bridges to the Unity of Humanity

    I was informed they were suggesting bridging the divides between nations for the intent of peaceful relations, although how this is to be accomplished is left a vague concept. I suggested I would resist effort to limit our rights as a people in the United States, established in our constitution...

    Just for the brave among us -- analyze a Trump speech.

    Some were stated to be rapists, others were stated to be rapists and torturers, others still were stated to be rapists, torturers, and murders, and each crime I'm sure also separated between them as single-crimes committed, individually. To be cautious means to be careful. This is already...

    Building Bridges to the Unity of Humanity

    So, what of our households, national, religious, or otherwise, and how we choose to honor truth as we live it in peace? I wouldn't be on board with limited rights guaranteed by our constitution, and our households typically have our own set of rules and regulations.
