Please don't get me wrong. This is not the strident statement of an atheist claiming that God does not exist. It is the regretful statement of a person who has spent his life trying to find God and has failed. I started out...

bsclot Maybe we are just looking at the wrong place when we are looking for God. God said, whatever you do to the least of my brothers, you do it also unto me. Just look around my friends, we don't need to pick up an advance physics book to see the face of God. Just...

How many times do we see this statement here? I guess we're supposed to take it as a question of fact and accept it had its face value. I am having a hard time understanding exactly what it means. What is this spirit they are...

"Imagination is more important than Knowledge" by the late genius physicist Einstein. I guess this is true since no matter how knowledgeable a person is, if he doesn't have a sense of creativity, his knowledge will still be...

bsclot Well, in my own experience, a lot of knowledge is very useful only during job interviews, but during actual implementation of assigned tasks, only a little of my stock knowledge is really needed to get it done. So ironic.

As God being the supreme ruler and creator over all, I put forth the idean that God is oth evil AND good. If God is all love how could he create evil? All love has no capacity for evil, yet he created lucifer who was...

bsclot It depends on your way of thinking. If you think of good as the opposite of evil, then you can come up with that kind of idea. But if you think of goodness as if it is heat and evil as coldness, then there is no way that God created evil. Since evil will just...

bsclot Lateral thinking, thats a new concept I have learn today. Thanks. In your example, it looks like knowledge is coming first, before imagination. I guess, before we have imagined something, we were already influenced by the external environment which triggered...

bsclot Right, the only alternative to knowledge is ignorance. I guess, everything starts with imagination and knowledge comes in when dreams are to be put into reality. At least for creative art work like music or paintings, I don't think some kind of specialized...

bsclot Spirituality is not for the lazy people. There is a quote that goes "The spirit is willing, but the body is weak(or lazy)". Buddhist monks practice martial arts. Hermits stay away from civilization and commune with nature. You will be the very first lazy...

I'm just curious if there's anyone who believes in God, but doesn't believe in Christ. Do you think the 2 have to go hand in hand, or can you believe in a divine power without believing in Jesus Christ?

bsclot There are many people who believe in God but don't believe in Christ. An example would be Judaism, they rejected that Christ is the messiah. They are still waiting for the promised Messiah. Another example are the Muslims, they believe in God, but Jesus Christ...
