preach it. we like giving names to things, to people, to places, to ideas, to forces (such as gravity). it makes sense of the chaos. but what if God ISN'T american, male, white, human? what then? who is....? i guess that's why God says "I am." forgive me for the limiting pronoun i'm about to use but...he is truly unknowable. and yet we like to package him down and use him to push our agendas. humans are hilarious...and cruel. anyway, profound thoughts, ben.

thanks. the lord of creation has given us more questions than answers. i think that's what seperates us from the animals, is that we have the ability to solve problems. animals don't ask why, the just do. we, on the other hand, see the why, come up with an answer, and then question it all over again. and then write about it in our livejournals.

scientific questions are answered all the time but philosophical questions are never answered, and that's the whole point

the scientific brain wants answers (they're the end-result of work)
the philosophical brain is satisfied with questions (because it never wants to stop working)

and that's why the word "philosopher" means "lover of knowledge"

well, i think even scientific answers often create more questions too.

Awesome

You are an awesome thinker and believer. You understand a lot more than you realize.......such feelings. How come someone as deep and understanding as you is not in the ministry!?
