Answer 11

MY basic assumptions:

I am able and also NOT able

I know and also do NOT know

I am able to make fun and be depressed

I am able to be a hero and a coward

I am able to be honest and dishonest

I am able to influence others and be influenced by others

I am able to like  others and dislike others

I am able to be liked  by others and disliked by others

Within my possibilities I can explore on my own

Within my impossibilities I can explore with the help of others

I need to explore the world I live in together with the other

At the moment I pretend to know, I stop exploring

When I stop exploring I have given up on extending my knowledge and abilities

When I speak about John  or Jane as   an American, a woman, a teacher a .....

then I am talking about an object and thus about everything except John and Jane

When I make a person an object, he or she does not "exist" anymore.

My soul is the core essence of my existence as a unique living being

My mind is the interconnection with the world around me.

My body is the carrier of my mind

I accept being a human being and nothing more or less.

I accept John and Jane as human beings and nothing more or less

I accept that I am too limited in my knowledge and capacities to make any statement and  at the same time accept that every John and Jane has and is entitled to his or her own thoughts and beliefs about God, Divinity, Almighty ......

I have to make MY decisions and never can remove that responsibility and therefor I am responsible for the good and bad things I have done and will do in my life.

I will never make an object from a human being.

I respect myself  with all my possibilities and impossibilities

I respect John and Jane and.....  with all  his and her possibilities and impossibilities

I reach out to others and accept others to reach out to me

Answer 19

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?

Then he is not omnipotent.

Is he able, but not willing?

Then he is malevolent.

Is he both able and willing?

Then whence cometh evil?

Is he neither able nor willing?

Then why call him God?”

Answer 20

Although i have read all the answers and i could see that most of them are sounded familiar or close to my own beliefs itself.

     Any way, my philosophy is to keep my philosophy to my self and respect others. why? Because it's not everyone cup of tea, what you believe in is your idea not there's. Secondly, having your own principles and following them, will boost your confidence and moral of others. So, all I am going to say, It's very easy to behave like cave man, but it's takes some lot of effort and clear thinking to own a heart so big and very clear conscious.so, my motto is keep your conscious clear at all times and you have nothing to worry about, like looking over to your shoulder every two Minuit's, and i believe in peace.
