How can religious people pretend to know precise details they couldn't possibly know?
What gives your God any more evidence of existence than all the other scores of Gods of other religions?
15 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoWhat are your beliefs concerning where society is headed?
When you look at the world around you, what do you see? If you believe it is going downhill, what are the root causes? Please explain, I will read every answer carefully.
Personally, I see sheep who are unable to think for themselves, they simply adopt other people's thoughts and conform to their environments and pick up useless habits and traditions without much thought as to why they do what they do. They allow their identities to be molded like clay by the hundreds of people with whom they come into contact, and so they go through life without ever "waking up" and taking control of the process. What separates us from animals is our ability to resist our environmental influences, but it seems that most of us have not even realized this power.
14 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoHow does your worldview today compare to your worldview 10 years ago?
3 AnswersPhilosophy9 years agoAre your beliefs truly your own? Or has society around you instilled them into your mind?
Think deep on this one. I'm estimating that over 90 percent of people are not truly independent thinkers, but they have allowed themselves to be molded like clay by the hundreds of people who have crossed their path since birth. They have not learned how to use their own minds, but instead have adopted the minds of others. They pick up useless habits from their environment without much thought as to why they do things. They mindlessly adopt universal codes without any prior questioning. Are you independent, or do you resemble sheep/robot?
I won't be surprised if all choose the former over the latter.
3 AnswersPolls & Surveys9 years agoWhat are some of the problems with the education systems of today?
Personally, I believe that they overemphasize the memorizing of useless facts and should be teaching kids to think for themselves instead of blindly following public opinion. Too much time is spent on bullshit work that is merely there to pass the time and keep the students busy. They are not taught to use their own minds, but to adopt the minds of others.
4 AnswersPhilosophy9 years agoDid you truly and independently decide on adopting your religion? Or did you simply accept it without question?
Another words, did you make a deliberate decision to adopt your religion or has your environment chosen it for you? Explain why.
13 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoHave you ever thought why people follow the crowd without ever questioning anything?
We are molded by the hundreds of people who have crossed our path since birth, we internalize our environmental influences without question. Why do we readily accept social codes, norms, and religions without ever thinking for ourselves and asking "why"?.... Why not deny others molding us like clay and instead decide to take control of our own patterns of thinking?
2 AnswersPsychology9 years agoWhat emotion do you believe causes the most detriment?
Either to oneself or to others around them. Please explain.
I would say that fear is the most destructive, because it is capable of rendering someone useless, and alot of people use aggression as a way of coping with fear, which can make them unbearable to be around.
I believe that emotions cloud reasoning, one can no longer have clear judgment or swift decision making if they leave their emotions uncontrolled. They tend to arise unnoticeably, and can leave one in a weak state.
Let me know your thoughts.

21 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoDemon appears in photograph?
So one day I was on Youtube and found this video. I have seen alot of videos and pictures about the paranormal, and this is by far the most interesting one that I have seen. The picture you will see is likely a real picture. I think that the image was to warn him he is on his way to Hell. The dog in the picture was a Hell Hound. That is what was sent to drag him to hell.
I want to see what you think of this?
