The Parable of the Unborn Twins

In a mother's womb were two babies. The first baby asked the other: Do you believe in life after delivery? The second baby replied: Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later. Nonsense, said the first. There is no life after delivery. What would that life be like? The second baby said: I don't know exactly, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat with our mouths. The first replied: That is absurd! Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous. The umbilical cord supplies everything we need. Life after delivery can't exist—the umbilical cord is too short. The second baby insisted: I think there is something beyond this, and maybe it's different than it is here. Maybe we won't need this physical cord anymore. The first baby: Nonsense. And moreover, if there really is life after delivery, then why has no one ever come back from there?...

change.org is a big disappointment and so is the Nobel Prize awarding body

  There has recently been a petition filed against the receiving of a Nobel prize of one, Maria Ressa of Rappler.  And when the signatories almost reached 200,000, it was taken down by change.org hence change.org is a big fake site.  It was supposed to be a platform of change, but it seems when people start petitioning against their allies, they'll shut us up.  So much for freedom of speech, they've just managed to silence the nearly 200,000 who signed and contributed to this. After years of believing that this site was legit, it is disappointing to know that the petitions you start there are only reserved for people or for events outside its circle of friends.  Maria Ressa has been seen in various forums where she painted exaggerated stories and numbers about the situation in the Philippines.   More disappointing was the Nobel organization that awarded her.  Freedom of speech was never curtailed in the Philippines during Duterte's regime.  L...

Bishop Barron Tackles Top Questions By Young People in Reddit

  Another episode by Bishop Barron that I find very informative and interesting.  In this episode, he talks about the top questions he got in 2 of his Reddit AMA (ask me anything) experience.  Click here for the link of one of those reddit sessions. The link of the Youtube video below is where he summarizes the top 3   questions and he gives very good explanation to each of them. The first question is that they ask him to prove God's existence. Does God exist?  And I liked Bishop Barron's answer by answering from the perspective of science. The second question is that why does evil and suffering exist?  And the last one is, how do you know that your religion is the right one?  I encourage you to listen for his answers to all 3 questions. Spare a few minutes and you'll be satisfied.
