  • "Yes, sometimes grouping, and "loving", requires some sacrifices of freedoms, but not freedom as a whole. It's still a choice whether or not to group or not... although most do more out of a mix of mutual benefit mixed with fear. Grouping has never indicated a lack of free will, IMO."

  • ""If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were." - Richard Bach ---I think that those who believe in God would say that this is why there is "good" and "evil." God, in the Christian sense, isn't portrayed as the GOOD who created evil, but rather that God is LOVE, and LOVE (and those things done in love) is good, while those things done without love would classify as evil. Thus, God being LOVE, showed the ultimate in love by giving man free will; a choice to act in love, or without it. He does not choose, set-aside, or sort out individuals. They, however, can choose to love or not. Thus, having said all that, God could not do without "evil", as to do so, he would have to force unbound, unconditional love... yet forced love is not TRUE love. I find no contradiction in that sense of "God." The contradictions begin to come when humans try to wrestle that vast concept into "rules and regulations"."

  • "Faith, IMO, is nothing more than a hope that the "IDEAL" of what we know to be true can really exist. For some, if there is no faith in something better out there, then what remains is death."
