manong05 I think that in friendship, even in the cyber world, one can't help getting involved emotionally in a sense. In one way or another, that "friend" became a part of our life and in being so we, in a sense, feel what they feel. I know what you mean because I have...

Appearance, intelligence, virtues and communications skills are important for every one. Men may give more importance to intelligence while women may prefer beauty. How will you list these qualities? To me intelligence is No.1....

manong05 Beauty attracts the eyes, but it's character that captures the heart. Relationships that are built on appearances alone will undoubtedly not last because eventually physical traits change in the passage of time. That said, there is absolutely nothing wrong in...

Well, what do you guys think of it? I mean, what if Mylot decided to host such single-day events, where mylot members of certain vicinities/region can get together, meet-up and just maybe punch somebody in the face for a stupid...

manong05 I think it would be fun to meet a fellow mylotter over a cup of coffee to share experiences. I am not thinking on a big scale but more of a simple event in case I meet someone who is in the immediate neighborhood or in the city where I live. One thing leads to...

Do you think the Bible should be interpreted literally or allegorically? Had a conversation about god and religion with my coworker yesterday and he told me that he believes the bible should be taken 100% literally. Just wondering...

manong05 Most Bible readers and scholars will say that it is both. There are parts of the Scriptures like express commands and historical records that are to be taken literally but there are also portions that are obviously symbolic like many records of prophecies...

manong05 Life, as I understand, is meant to be lived. But for some reasons some people find it not worth living. This is perhaps caused by sad experiences and a different outlook in life that is shaped by a faulty and limited understanding of the events and...

Now, I don't want any self righteous, sugar coated, "Oh, yes, I respect everyone all the time!" answers. I want you to really think about it! I was raised Catholic. My family has never been particularly religious, but we went...

manong05 Respect is always earned and is not legislated. Ultimately people gain other people's respect in the way they act and treat other people regardless of their religious affiliations. We may not be able to respect other people for several reasons but common...

Can scientific discovery replace religion as a means of teaching ethics?

ethics

11 responses

manong05 Science, I believe, is never meant to teach ethics and scientific discoveries raise ethical concerns that are to be addressed by "ethicists" whether secular or religious. One classic example are babies born of in vitro fertilization. What are their rights and...

Has the concept of God or a supreme being destroyed individual freedom, and free expression?

manong05 Just to have a concept of God and to be able to express one's own belief is an exercise of individual freedom and free expression in themselves. People who have a profound understanding of God and apply their belief in their day to day daily existence are the...

manong05 Yes, commnication can be both verbal and non-verbal. We can understand and communicate what we want when it comes to basic and simple things just by using gestures and other forms of non-verbal communication but it can never replace the function of language in...

I lost my cellphone to a group of snatchers while inside the bus. The modus operandi was well executed that I didn't have the faintest idea that it was being taken away. I only realized it when I got off the bus. There was a...
