Wearing a suit at the beach on a desert island
by ozziepost injust came back home from visiting some south pacific islands.
you know how it is - balmy winds blew through the palm trees, soft white sandy beaches, azure seas.
then there were the natives - men with faces painted, spears in hand reminding us that it was only a generation ago that they were cannibals.. and they wore.....well, not much!.

A MORAL SOCIETY WITHOUT GOD OR RELIGION
by fifi40 inreligion has taught that without a belief in god and in absolute standards there is no genuine moral conduct.
but for many alive today who do not hold a belief in god, is a moral and good life possible?.
not to be confused with sin, which is essentially a religous idea defined as disobedience to god, morality concerns itself with observed consequences, so a wrong act can be determined by the effect or harm it causes to others.. for example religion teaches that in the eyes of god homosexuality is wrong.

Perfection
by purplesofa ini was talking to a friend of mine about perfection last night.. he made a comment that there was no way to have perfection, unless you made one thing and set that as perfect.
everything after that would be a copy and otherwise would always in some way fall short of perfect, the original creation.
we were talking about art.. and then he made a comment that god did not create us perfectly.
