Love is not a conscience thing.....love just is or it isn't. Rare, is true love and if it IS, it is to be cherished even if it is simply between a dog and its owner.
Most concepts of love can not endure the passage of time.
Then it would hold true that some souls voluntarily chose to be born of abusive parents. Does the soul gain knowledge or a higher level of existence by voluntarily choosing an existence of pain, torture, and death?
Further, could a soul choose to be born of parents that provides a life of...
I agree Melody. And while the Love is true it matters not the actions of the one in which you place that love. The ability of True love to remain true regardless of the actions levied against it is what is at stake within families, with friends, and across religious and social boundaries.
Does it matter to Judas if we don't forgive him? Likely not if he has received the forgivesness from the man he wronged. Does it matter to ourselves if we can't forgive him? Yes as Jesus asks that we do so.
I believe that it isn't necessary for anyone to 'prove' their beliefs. One should just believe. If one feels compelled to prove their beliefs, I hope, for their sake, that they are attempting to convert others. Otherwise they are trying to convince themselves.

I think that perhaps we should look what we eat squarely in the face before we eat it. Perhaps we may sense what Druidus is talking. Bite into a cow while it is restrained and staring terrified at you.
I think there are two most important questions, the one listed above and....'Are there other intelligent life forms on other planets with an idea of a God figure?'
What do the terrorists gain in the end. Assume, for instance, that all foreign troops pull out of Iraq. The terrorists have been killing indiscriminately all people who support the US and Britain including Iraqis. Do they gain control of Iraq, the oil, or the people themselves? (With...
What are the motivational factors that compels a terrorists to kill innocent men women and children?
