    New Scientist: End of nations: Is there an alternative to countries?

    It seems to me that a Cosmopolitanism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmopolitanism system, which is based on many more smaller-size world states individually, should be quite different than a Globalisation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globalization system, which is based on lesser number of...

    Predestination

    An atheist may be too sensitive to the term God nowadays. Partly/mainly due to the God concept is not/never scientific enough. However according to Stoicism, which was the most popular philosophy during Jesus' era, the construct of God was/is a very scientific one. God, the nature and...

    Predestination

    Jesus once said the rain is falling for both good and bad guys. He also talked a parable about a farmer asked his two sons for helping work, while one promised (as believers) to help without even actually showing up at all, but the other verbally denied (as non-believers) to help finally...

    Predestination

    Here is another proof, I guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoicism Seneca was the famous stoic philosopher and advisor to emperor Nero during the years of very early Christianity. Stoic together with Epicurean philosophers were mentioned in the Acts 17:18 for their curiosity about...

    Predestination

    I think there have been numerous studies and arguments about the true existence of historical Jesus. It's amazing that one single person's verbal teachings and sayings, even without any writings, can change the whole world and human history in almost all aspects of our daily living including...
