    Here's a scary thought...

    Eh, I can’t really tell but perhaps that’s meant to be taken as sarcasm…?

    Are We Responsible for Our Inactions?

    This is surely questionable. To “inactively” watch someone drowning, is that ethically neutral, for example? A choice not to act, is nonetheless a choice and most choices involve some aspect of ethics. Humbly, Hermit

    How old will you be in Heaven?

    I’d say that in Heaven, you’d connect with all that [is and] has been - including the “souls” of your own loved ones. Humbly, Hermit

    How old will you be in Heaven?

    As it transcends any worldliness, it is likely that “heaven” be both timeless and formless. It is your “soul” (your pure being) and not your body that dwells there. Humbly, Hermit

    What Is “Heaven”?

    “Heaven” is sometimes understood as a state of being; the one that we enter upon having grasped the part that we played in the context and time-frame -in the unfolding- of our earthly lives and after having repented and forgiven ourselves for our actions prior to having been able to see it...

    Meaning of Life?

    As you do not want to discuss beliefs as such; I’d say that the society that I grew up in taught that the meaning of life was X. I lived accordingly, but came to the conclusion in my late 20s, that it felt entirely meaningless to me. So, I decided to give other ideas about the meaning of life a...

    Harris in saying Trump is a 'fascist' rhetoric shows just how pathetically desperate she is as her pathetic campaign goes down in flames.

    “Hyper” as in totalitarian, authoritarian and/or militant, perhaps? And “exclusive” + “prejudice” as in non-egalitarian and fundamental, elitist and/or sexist and/or nationalist and/or racist, maybe? I’d agree. And you see none of these traits in Trump and Trump supporters?

    Hi I am the person who study bible and science

    Perhaps not. Memory is truly not a strength of mine. Humbly, Hermit

    Hi I am the person who study bible and science

    I may well be wrong but did there not used to be something about having to partake in a few existing threads before being able to start one’s own? Humbly, Hermit

    Your chance to guide me to God!

    Hello @ElytBlank, I do not mean to pry but would like to understand a little more before entering into conversations about potential root-causes to anything, so if it’s okay: What occurred 3 years ago? When you say “God’s silence”, what do you mean, more specifically? Humbly, Hermit

    Harris in saying Trump is a 'fascist' rhetoric shows just how pathetically desperate she is as her pathetic campaign goes down in flames.

    @Twilight Hue -in your own words- what characterises fascism? In bullet-points, if you wish but sincerely, if possible. Humbly, Hermit

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    I think that you have used a good term in your question: “criteria”. The divinity of Christ is not measured by what traits they possess, nor by what results they achieve but solely by what they provide [to others]: compassion for their predicaments, the means to change their ways and divine...

    If you believe in God AND evolution, why do you believe in God?

    I believe in God because -like many others- I’ve experienced it. I believe in evolution too though. I do not see a contradiction there. My definition of God is not, however, an old fellow in the clouds. I’d define it in words if I could, but I can’t because God is not definable in language and...

    Life for me is almost meaningless without sex with people that I find feminine and attractive

    Don’t forget that that’s hormonal. It’s natural, especially at a certain age. However, that does not give us the right to act upon it unless doing so consensually. If others are not responding positively to you, you must learn to channel your urges constructively. Humbly Hermit

    Lawyer sends warning to GOP election officials with plans to refuse results

    Thanks @Clizby Wampuscat. With his wording, It’s a good thing he doesn’t write laws. but at least he’s not saying he’s abolishing elections altogether if he’s made president. Humbly, Hermit

    Lawyer sends warning to GOP election officials with plans to refuse results

    I’m relieved to say that I am not American and I don’t live there but as the US does have an awful lot of global power too, could you shed some light on what Trump meant when he promised a crowd that if they voted for him now, they’d “never have to vote again”. Because that does not sound very...

    Why does frustration the emotion exist ?

    Frustration -like all negative emotion- signalises to the self that it is time to review an attitude (held towards someone/something) that has outdone itself. To try to invoke change in that which frustrates you, is not only a waste of energy but also an overstepping of your own authority...

    Acclimating to the Akedah Lamb and Limb.

    Perhaps I’m not wording my thoughts accurately… let me try differently. I certainly see “God” as source, but I distinguish between “God” and God’s “Kingdom” (sorry, I often write in brackets such concepts that go by many different worldly terms, depending on tradition; perhaps it confuses more...

    Why don't other people care that I'm depressed ?

    Reverse those questions, @Massimo2002. Ask yourself: Do you notice when others are depressed? Do you care for them when you notice and if so, how? If your answers are “no”, then you already know roughly why others have the same approach to you, yes?
