He exalts himself as a god because he does not hate but he also questions. <br />2) Yes there is, reincarnation gives hope regarding all the questions that surround the afterlife. It can also act as a mental and physical barrier to an individual's actions. No one wants to spend the rest of time or their reincarnation paying for negative, bad or criminal actions that occurred during their lives on Earth. Different people, mindsets, and religions will affect the reasonings behind the afterlife. <br />3) To me, the creation of our Universe is a result of the "Big Bang" theory. I, myself, believe that their is a higher power but that this power was not the reason for our existence. But that the creation of human beings created the different types of "higher powers" that guide our lives. I also believe that karma is also a huge influence in the human development and the decisions that humans make. The evolution of life from water to land, the natural selection, and evolution itself give hard proof of our existence and the formation of our world. <br />4) If I was to label myself I would probably categorize myself as Neutral Monism because even if I am not sure what it is yet, I know that there is a 3rd substance that connects Matter and Mind together.

In my opinion, the thing that you would refer to as deja vu could be something that is similar or identical to something that happened to you in you past life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16368059501784461634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-40821610917371725432018-02-02T10:35:41.384-06:002018-02-02T10:35:41.384-06:00(:(:Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16368059501784461634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-83851189528179448752018-02-02T10:35:21.759-06:002018-02-02T10:35:21.759-06:00Thanks lmaoThanks lmaoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16368059501784461634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-6715762600044959612018-01-31T21:52:15.404-06:002018-01-31T21:52:15.404-06:00Alternative quiz question: How did Parmenides and ...Alternative quiz question: How did Parmenides and Melissus percieve the world around them?

Or do you encourage them to become themselves by changing?" <br />I think that there should be a balance between both. People should always be themselves whether this means staying the same or changing. Change occurs over time regardless and I don't think anyone should be encouraged to do something they don't want to do. People should always support their friends either way. #3<br />Hannah Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10966290238188304083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-67891695156552734392018-01-31T19:30:24.895-06:002018-01-31T19:30:24.895-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Hannah Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10966290238188304083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-57149322423685467342018-01-30T10:00:39.721-06:002018-01-30T10:00:39.721-06:002.

Do you think it's possible to be a naturalist who also believes unproven religious or metaphysical claims about god(s), heaven, immortality, the soul, etc.? Or should naturalists consider themselves atheistic or agnostic, with respect to the objects of such claims?"<br />I think natural explanations have more weight, there's tangible and plausible evidence to go off of. I think naturalists can still believe in the potential of gods and so on, but can still stand by their naturalist beliefs. On my last note I don't think naturalists should be either atheist or agnostic. If they have theories about the spiritual world or completely have a naturalist stance then they should represent themselves as they please.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424920869949919690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-77651549486508890332018-01-27T23:18:24.898-06:002018-01-27T23:18:24.898-06:00What's the most memorable outdoor experience y...What's the most memorable outdoor experience you've ever had?<br /><br />Through the many outdoor experiences that I have had I definitely have many that stand out more than other, but one just comes to mind when thinking about what was the best time and had the biggest impact on me. One fall day my senior year of high school, a couple of friends and I decided to go out and explore what was all around our hometown. We had obviously known of certain places in the county through stories, but we had not had our own story to tell. So about 6 friends and I decided to explore many of the most talked about places around to see if the hype around it was worth it or was just a bunch of urban legends passed on through each generation. A lot of places were certainly interesting because we never really had an idea of what exactly we would be experiencing but we certainly do now. But this stands out to me not because of the sites alone, but the people who accompanied myself on this experience. We became even closer to each other and knew that from that point on that no matter what might happen in the near future, we would always remain friends. #8 Chandler Toddnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-8833040965921851822018-01-27T22:56:52.730-06:002018-01-27T22:56:52.730-06:00#8#8Chandler Toddnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-39710406147538890872018-01-27T22:55:43.748-06:002018-01-27T22:55:43.748-06:00Are you a good listener?

(Do you try to understand the points of view of those who disagree with your beliefs, or do you simply dismiss them as just wrong?)<br /><br /><br />I like to think that I am a good listener. I love to learn new things about really anything. If someone were to discuss a more controversial topic, I would ask them to explain the reasoning as to why they believe what they believe rather than to immediately dismiss their beliefs as wrong. I believe that in today’s time we need to become more understanding of issues that are present. Many people today I think are quick to dismiss other’s beliefs on certain topics because of different circumstances that they might have had with the issue and so are left believing only what they have been exposed to rather than the full spectrum of what it is.
