I don't believe in other gods, because other gods would not contain the attributes that God would need to truly be considered God in prevailing understanding of God from a philosophical perspective (Omnipresence, Omnipotence, Omniscience, and so on). The Greek gods for example, bear a stronger...

We were never a democracy, and we are currently only nominally a republic. In reality this country sadly seems to be an oligarchy where offices are basically..when boil it down... sold to the highest bidder.

Oh no, I dislike capitalism all together as a just economic philosophy. Obviously capitalism is great at what it does, producing and creating the middle class, but life is about more than production. Unlike most capitalists, I believe government can be a helper for pressing problems when used...

Precisely, I agree there is an agenda at the top to attempt acquire all of the resources and wealth in the world. The answer to this problem is not socialism or communism, these are simply scams to get the poor and powerless to be content with their destitution. For a recent relevant example...

I selected INFJ - Other In regards to the economy, I consider myself an economic nationalist, opposing both communism and capitalism. I respect what the private sector does for the economy, but unlike the party line republicans I also see that government can also be an effective tool for...

Has anyone considered that maybe the public should be kept quiet, or at least prevented from instigating more violence? Civillians should never be fair game, but that doesn't translate to removing Assad from power. The rebels winning isn't always the best outcome, and in this case I believe the...

Catholic. I didn't really immerse myself in spirituality and deep philosophical ideas until I was in my mid-teens when I really started practicing my faith.

I'm very nostalgic, perhaps to my detriment sometimes. I feel inclined to want to bring back past times where I perceived things to be better for me, but in doing so I feel I prevent myself from moving forward.

In a hail of bullets; it makes for a great ending!

I started watching it after a friend told me I was just like the main character; I rather like it. I was told I had this odd habit of reading people, and gaining information about them based on seemingly random, intrusive, and sometimes inappropriate questions. This is something Patrick does...

Never trust the Western media, particularly American media on issues like this. They are not interested in the truth, even if they think they are. Everything they report on and how they report it is done with some sort of end game goal in mind in order to push the reader to feel one way about...
