Dr. wrote: "when do we get some chocolate?"Are you hungry?
Do you have to be hungry to want chocolate?
Is there a wrong time to get chocolate?
Is there a wrong way to get chocolate?
Why do you ask? Have you obtained chocolate in a less than acceptable method?(Am I aware that I just asked 2 questions? Or 3? or...)
Am I too late to get chocolate with you guys? Who else likes chocolate darker than dark?
are these the types of question I need to answer with a question?
Is there a point in any of this or is it pointless?
Do I need to point out that this thread has run almost 5500 posts?
If the Bible is the most sold book, why don’t more people read it?
Mark wrote: "Have you read it?"start to finish. long ponderous confusing. people need to read the cliffs notes version first.
so question: what would you prefer to read if not the most important truth there is?
Perhaps, there is another truth? I'm not an atheist but as a writer I wonder, what is the truth?
I have come to believe that their are great mysteries in this world. I gained a strong spiritualism while writing my first novel. I have embraced the fact that I am guarded by a spirit. My advice is simple. Find something good to believe in. Believe in it with all you have. It will become reality.

No philosopher, Wmba….just older and realistic....who knows?
My name: Renaissance man, bon vivant, logical thinker.

I am a logical thinker.
Some things are provably true. Some provably false.
Godels theorem says there are things that cannot be proven either way .
A reader asked to read a book title " ATRIP TO NOWHERE?"Imagine a normal person, reading reading such a book,when asked where was nowhere? he could not give me an answer. I felt like I was exactly there.
If there is more than one Truth, if there are as many Truths as there are people, the Truths will be contradictory or else they will be incomplete. So how can there be many Truths?
Is it because there are so many people with different truths?
Is it possible that the word "truth" means something besides what you appear to think that it means?
Because there are many cultures. With many different experience, history ,& beliefs.
Truth seems to mean what you are caught.

Is that question like how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers? (can't believe I got roped into this conversation...lol?)
Justin wrote: "Is that question like how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"He would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
But where is the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
Has anyone ever actually eaten pickled peppers?
Would eating only one pickled pepper suffice?
In a way, this thread is an example of Godel's theorem: is it ever complete?

Lionel Richie or Adele, is that you?
