Let's use this page for post from the assignment "Wiki Posts." If it makes more sense to post your material in other parts of the wiki site, go ahead and do that. This page can be used to collect things that don't go elsewhere.

This is an article about Good vs. Evil. Bringing up the question "If there is an all powerful God then why doesn't this God stop evil?" This article also discusses the butterfly effect, which i find an interesting topic when it comes to good vs. evil that we have not discussed. This page also has other links to articles about good and evil.

I thought this would be an interesting article for all to read considering our topic of discussion today. I know most of us would not mind if there were women priests, but here is an article from a man discussing why women have zero chance at becoming priests.

I thought this was a very nice and concise summary of Locke's opinion on the issue of personal identity.

This Chart is very helpful if you are looking for for a couple of simple and straight-forward facts or want to compare Epicureans and Stoics easily.

This article give the three marks and talks about no-self which it refers to as "egolessness".

This short clip connects the tree falling in the forest philosophy with science. I just really thought that was a thought provoking question that was asked and this video made me think harder about it.

This video is kind of set up as an interview but one guy does all of the talking and he connects science with free will and discusses how they can and cannot be related.

This youtube video has funny animation(very creative) and explains the thoughts on the ship of theseus in more detail. I also thought this was a very thought provoking question, so I found this video helpful in thinking more about it.

This page is interesting because it gives the thoughts of each philosopher and their perspectives on good v. evil.

This is an article where Barret argues that he did not state that humans innately believe in God, but they have propensities to do so. Barret tries to keep his conspiracies straight. Grayling, a psychologist, has said some things that Barrett tries to clarify. This article is helpful because it really shows and affirms Barret's beliefs and what he is trying to tell people.

In this article Koukl discusses how evil and morality relate and he gives "answers" to many common questions about evil and morality.

This is some background information on Rev. Carlton Pearson and a summary of his main argumnets in his talk on "The Gospel of Inclusion". This is from another point of view, however.

I found this NBC News Special very interesting as it discusses how Buddhism meshes and clashes with American culture.

This article from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy really helped me understand Platonic Metaphysics a little better. It uses some concrete examples that helped clarify a few questions I had about Platonism.

This is a youtube excerpt of the documentry "Mind of a Murderer" which is related to the article "Damaged" we read last week. It discusses the psychology of serial killers and interviews psychiatrist Dorothy Lewis who was mentioned in the article as well.

I used this website in writing my Buddhism analysis paper. It has some good discussions on the concept of anatta or "no self" along with meditation.
