    The Grand Dilemma

    Brilliant! Thanks for taking the time to share such an eloquent manner.

    Childhood Obesity

    You're absolutely right! It will undoubtedly make other kids think it's okay to make fun of fat kids. Do I think there are more effective, respectful ways to promote good health among children - with a doubt!! I mean successful in terms of generating conversation on the subject. We are...

    The Grand Dilemma

    Wow, I spent an hour writing a very thoughtful response and when I pressed send - it timed me out and erased my reply. LOL! Guess, I was being too wordy and that message wasn't meant to be. No chance of me doing that again, so let me be brief: If it's getting overwhelming thinking about all...

    Jesus Was a Buddhist Monk?

    Not to be dismissive of the original question, but I think we often get distracted and even adversarial by focusing on the man rather than the message. This is not just true of Jesus, but of all religious figures - rather than concentrating (or in some cases fixating) on the bibliographic...

    What is Satanism about?

    I know this sounds generic but it's probably going to be the same as with most (if not all) other religions, you'll find the entire spectrum of belief where each person has a different view of what their faith mean to them and how it should be manifested in their actions.

    How does one choose?

    To the original post... You can't rely on laws or traditions to dictate morality. It was once lawful to own slaves - do you believe that is moral or ethical? Probably not. We've got to genuinely search our own hearts, minds and religious/spiritual convictions to determine what's fair...

    Demonstration of free will.

    I think most of the confusion is semantic and there's actually more in common between both sides of the arguement.. I don't believe free will and fate are mutually exclusive but rather two sides of the same coin. It's all about perspective. From our individual human perspective we have...

    The assumption of evolution can cause problems

    To the original post, and sorry if this has already been mentioned... I believe the example you gave illustrates more that every action has a consequence. Anytime we alter the anatomy of any animal, no matter how slightly, there are going to be a broad range of implications.

    Could someone help me get my head around Buddhist literature?

    I agree with everything above. I'm not sure if this will add anything that hasn't already been said. But I believe in Buddhism there is much more flexibility when it comes to literature or sacred texts. As mentioned before, each sect (denomination or school of Buddhist thought) will likely...

    Childhood Obesity

    Like everything in life, the ad is good and bad. It probably does perpetuate some unjustified stereotypes about parents and larger than typical children. However, the unfortunate social reality is that an obese child will usually receive more teasing/taunting from their peers growing up. If...

    Absolute Proof Jesus Does Not Save!

    Haha, very funny! I think many of us take our religion too seriously sometimes; it should be fun and even funny. Thanks for an easy laugh..
