Not much to tell. I'm a Christian who makes his living designing and building houses. I've been married for 30 years to a very patient woman. My kids are grown. I'm interested in just about everything, but passionate about religion/philosophy. I'm here to talk with thoughtful folks of all beliefs or none. Oh. And one more thing. I believe life is a gift. May yours be rich.

12 AntwortenReligion & Spiritualityvor 5 JahrenDo atheists ever wrestle with the concept of forgiveness?
Not giving or receiving forgiveness from people you know, but the impossibility of being forgiven for wrongs committed unknowingly or indirectly. I have to admit that when I was an atheist this didn't much bother me. It's just the way the world is. But after I became a theist, then Christian I was surprised by how freeing the belief that I could be forgiven for those things felt.
Anyway, I was just wondering if this was something any of you had thought much about.
As always, thank you for your thoughtful replies

6 AntwortenReligion & Spiritualityvor 5 JahrenIs moral knowledge possible?
My 'gut' tells me that moral claims are truth claims. People certainly tend to act as if they are. Yet I cannot seem to figure out where they get the warrant for their beliefs. Are we reduced, for example, to believing theft is wrong based on faith?
