Any "ist" is necessarily different from an "ism". One can live within a communist system without being a communist. Most people living within a...
Well, people do that all the time, with or without a god. We tend to think in words, even talk to ourselves to hear those words, even when we...
Well, we have rules because, as beings with the ability to communicate with one another, we have the option to relay our experience verbally....
What if there actually is a God and this is NOT the way he wants himself depicted? What if x, what if y, what if z. We can't cater for every...
We're told God made Man in his own image. But we're told that by men. It seems as if not far more likely, given the human proclivity for...
