Philosophy:

"Religious War"... That this is a true statement, should be enough to enlighten the world.  Without revealed religions we would be able to revel in our different cultures, Instead of fighting over who's right and who's wrong...  Any nation that feels the need to war over religious views is wrong.
Seek Truth.  "The truth shall set you free." - Jesus

Government:
"Trust In God"... When we... Trust In God... we see the truth and seek freedom!  
When we seek and find freedom we no longer need to be dependent on Big Government. 
This nation was founded by people of a Natural God.
It was their belief in the natural law or the "Law of the Land" that set them free!
When you build a nation on natures law, you are building a "Mighty Nation"...
As today's Government slowly stifles our freedoms and removes God's law from our foundation,  
we can witness our nation losing its might...  Why are we letting this happen?
We became a powerful nation, because of the beliefs of our founding fathers.
Our founding fathers put their trust in God, not Religion!
It is imperative that we seek future leaders who follow the laws or nature before it is too late!

All religious divisions are corrupt...  Mark my words... 
The one true God is a natural God and has no divisions. 
God's word is the truth, therefore true and accurate observation is our only true religion.

I wonder:

How many people truly understand God's Word...  Not the words in the bible, which were picked through and chosen by the Romans, but the words of God which were the observations of wise men that had never been written or heard before.  Since the bible should be the words of wise men seeking the truth, the bible should be a work in progress and never finished.  When we write what's in our heart and what we believe to be true thru our observation we are writing Gods words.   Someday the new Romans will pick through our words and take only what they approve of for their book,  as they did for the bible.

Great Philosophers – Contemporary
More contemporary great philosophers have continued to proclaim their faith and belief in God. For example, Kierkegaard stated that “God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.” The philosophical world is full of brilliant and talented men and women who clearly believed in the existence and influence of a supernatural God. The entire spectrum of history demonstrates that philosophy and faith can be powerful allies.

Later philosophers continued to write and speak words that demonstrated their belief in, and search for, a real God. Aquinas spoke clearly in favor of reasoned faith, saying “Reason in man is rather like God in the world,” and “To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.” Descartes, who famously stated “I think; therefore I am,” also had scathing words for some of the strange views of his contemporaries -- many of whom were non-believers. He once claimed “There is nothing so strange and unbelievable that it has not been said by one philosopher or another.”

Youth is wasted on the young:

Youth are living life, without having witnessed life.

To live life after witnessing life would be phenomenal!
Not just witnessing our own lives but witnessing all life around us.

Truly the greatest gift we can give to our children is our knowledge.

Share with children your life knowledge, your wisdom.

DG.

Live your life to the fullest:

God has given us each a set amount of time...  "A lifetime".

Some have little time, and some have more, only God knows. 
Help others find peace in the time they have, while doing the same for yourself.

Teach children to spend their “Lifetime” wisely!

Albert Einstein: (1879 - 1955) 

“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”

"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." - Albert Einstein

"When asked if he believed in God, Einstein said.... "There must be something behind the energy, no doubt."

"That a man can take pleasure in marching in formation to the strings of a band is enough to make me despise him, He has only been given his big brain by mistake, a backbone was all he needed." - Albert Einstein.

“Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.”

“If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough”

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”

“If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?”

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.”

“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.”

“I have no particular talent. I am merely inquisitive.”

“The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.”

“I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - This is a somewhat new kind of religion”

“We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.”

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.”

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.

"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed. It was the experience of mystery— even if mixed with fear— that engendered religion. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, our perceptions of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most primitive forms are accessible to our minds: it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute true religiosity. In this sense, and only this sense, I am a deeply religious man."
~Albert Einstein

"I am not an atheist, and I don’t think I can call myself a Pantheist."
(This may have been, Einstein's biggest Flaw!)

Coughlin [of the Los Angeles tabloid Illustrated Daily News, in hot pursuit of asking Einstein a provocative, headline-inducing question] found the right moment while tailing the car that was speeding the couple [the Einstein's] north on the coast road to Pasadena. It had stopped to let Einstein stroll over to a small headland known as Sunset Cliffs, where he stood gazing at the sea and sky. Seizing the moment, Coughlin leaped from his car, the question on his lips, followed by Spang, his camera at the ready. "Doctor", Coughlin said, "is there a God?" Einstein stared at the water's edge some twenty feet below, then turned to his questioner. Coughlin later wrote: "There were tears in his eyes, and he was sniffing. Spang shot the picture as Einstein was hustled away before he could answer. "Well," I said, the way he reacted, he believes in God. Did you ever see such an emotional face?" Spang was standing on the edge of the headland, where the great scientist had stood. He looked down, then called me: "Come over here." I looked down and there, caught against the base of the little cliff, was a shark that must have been dead in the hot sun for several days. "Makes anybody cry", Spang said." Einstein: A Life, Denis Brian, Page 206.

Plato:  (427 BC - 347 BC)

“Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.” (This is BC time)

“I know not how I may seem to others, but to myself I am but a small child wandering upon the vast shores of knowledge, every now and then finding a small bright pebble to content myself with”

“Thinking: The talking of the soul with itself”

“Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another”

“When the mind is thinking, it is talking to itself.”

“Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.”

“I have hardly ever known a mathematician who was capable of reasoning”

"No one knows whether death, which people fear to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good."

"The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways - I to die, and you to live. Which is better God only knows."

"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light."

King Solomon:

"Give Thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people and to know good and evil."

 "Train up a child in the way that he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

“A good name is rather to be chosen than riches.”

“Start with GOD-the first step in learning is bowing down to GOD; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.”

"Slowly the sun sank, then suddenly darkness rushed down on the land like a tangible thing. There was no breathing-space between the day and night, no soft transformation scene, for in these latitudes twilight does not exist. The change from day to night is as quick and as absolute as the change from life to death." King Solomon's Mines

 “If you see oppression of the poor, and justice and righteousness trampled in a country, do not be astounded.”

“Kindness and faithfulness keep a king safe, through kindness his throne is made secure.”

"Your own soul is nourished when you are kind; it is destroyed when you are cruel."

"The Almighty gave us our lives, and I suppose He meant us to defend them, at least I have always acted on that, and I hope it will not be brought up against me when my clock strikes." King Solomon's Mines

"Out of the dark we came, into the dark we go. Like a storm-driven bird at night we fly out of the nowhere; for a moment our wings are seen in the light of the fire, and, lo! we are gone again into the nowhere." King Solomon's Mines

"Truly the universe is full of ghosts, not sheeted churchyard specters, but the inextinguishable elements of individual life, which having once been, can never die, though they blend and change, and change again forever." King Solomon's Mines

The fact that we exist proves that there is a chance of "Intelligent Life" existing in the universe...  If there is a chance, and if the universe is infinite, that brings the chance of other "Intelligent Life" existing in the universe to approximately.... 100%!

God does not intervene or show preference, he is bigger than that.  
However, if we live well we may be able to bestow some favor upon ourselves.

It's amazing how much knowledge the right bit of information can unlock.

If someone is doing something wrong, and you know what is right...
It is your duty to teach what is right.

To conform to the beliefs of others is to be enslaved by them.

We are all going to die...  Maybe not all at the same time, Though maybe that would be less painful.

Raw Passion does not stem from Love.

I'm afraid we have become a nation of educated idiots.

Few things put a smile on my face like watching the condescending get condescended.

No matter how intelligent you think you are, when you are unfriendly, rude, or disrespectful, your ignorance comes shining through.

Orchestrating a precise combination of words is like sculpting a masterpiece. (wish I could do it)

Point zero is the location of nothing and the center of everything.

A wise man will only challenge himself!

A man who feels he is superior to others, but is afraid to enjoy life... is not.

The men who think they are too important to pick up the trash and garbage around themselves, will soon become a part of the trash and garbage.

Anyone who retains wealth beyond reason, displays greed beyond reason.

Sex without love is masturbation... However, love without procreation is still love.

Unconditional love only exist, with your children and your pets.

Living Life without balance is a lopsided life.

Your mind is not one with your body, your body was created for the use of your mind.

Stress is caused by your life being out of control, Peace is achieved by accepting that your life is out of control.

With your eyes you can judge mans appearance, actions, and possessions; that leaves alot to be judged with your ears.

If the good go to heaven and the bad go to hell and both exist in this world; I must have only been half good in my previous Life.

Jesus didn’t ask his followers for 10% of their hard earned money...

Mark 12: ⁴¹ Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. ⁴² But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. ⁴³ Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. ⁴⁴ They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on."
Mark 13: ¹ As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!" ² "Do you see all these great buildings?" replied Jesus. "Not one stone here will be left on another; everyone will be thrown down."

Your life is of no consequence to the universe.

The here and now is all we have.  Our matter will eventually be recycled by the universe, and in a few 100 trillion years, if we are lucky, we will re-evolve... but likely not as humans.

I follow a conscious natural God... Not a blind Religion.

The world may end tomorrow, but at least I have today.

If you have one of something and it truly multiplies, you will never have one again.

Honest men who make a living handling other men’s money are few and far between... If one exist at all?

Money and the Internet can both lead man to the worst or the greatest things imaginable, depending on what's in that man's heart.

Man who thinks he can start at the top, will soon fall to the bottom.

The worst thing I can see about death, is losing loved ones and my future with them.

When you remove your positive energy, you will no longer be attractive.

Man who's lived in Darkness, can truly appreciate the light.

When you are tired... Rest.

In life, the shortest distance between two points, may not be the best route to take.

Fear God, love God, obey the Ten Commandments, seek the Truth, and read the words of King Solomon.

Enjoy life where you are, when you are, where you are.

You can't "Find God"...  God isn't lost, you must realize that God is everywhere.

Gods energy is the energy of all life, if Gods energy were lost, all life would end at that instant!

Never submit yourself to false witnesses, only submit to the truth which is the Word of God.

The trouble with a trophy wife is... You will always worry if the next guy is a better player...
The better player gets the trophy!

Health food is good for the body, Junk food is good for the soul...  is it better to take care of the body or of the soul?

We must practice moderation, my friends...  Moderation is the answer.

I realize now... you need structure in order to accomplish great things!

If you are confused on whether you should do something or not... 
And you believe it may be a good thing...  you should do it!

Before you do anything ask yourself this...  Let's look at this from God's perspective, with our God given ability to reason.  (Will this go against nature's law?)

We can find the true power of God deep within ourselves, through our observations and ability to reason.

If you bash deism - You bash God.

I like 72 she likes 74, so we put it on 73... that's the secret to a happy relationship. (Thermostat)

A philosopher is one who spends too much time thinking about life and not enough time living life!
