    Israel Palestine conflict

    I would disagree with this on the premise that Zionist ideology is inherently religious even if it doesn't represent all those who hold to Judaism. Yes, it is mainly politically and racially driven, but it is completely naïve (and false) to say this conflict has nothing to do with religion...

    creative writing help

    A couple of interesting things, is you can make allusions to the printing press; the process is called stereotyping; and the sound that the press makes is written as cliche; and so perhaps you can make use of the onomatopoeia sounds and allusions to previous technology; and perhaps as some...

    dropping english extension 2

    I would drop Extension 2 English. If you aren't understanding the content, the teacher is toxic, then I would drop the subject. I will make a note, that your marks in this subject for task 1 are probably justified - remember that marks are always moderated based on external exam performance, so...

    Most effective way to study content heavy topics

    I'm of the opinion that tutoring should supplement what is done in class not be its replacement. The best way is to make notes during class. If your teacher does not provide material, then utilize textbooks and tutoring materials, but I'm on the opinion that is not that helpful to be too far...

    how to stay motivated?

    Get good rest. This involves not just sleep but some of the other activities. Study should not be a whole consuming thing. You might have to take the first 30 min after school to nap or recharge and then get back into it at 4:30/5.

    Practice Paper Advice?

    semi open book. spend slightly longer reading time then you would normally, to make sure you thoroughly understand what each question is asking, and circle the questions that you don't know how to do, or you haven't covered in class yet. For those that you don't know how to do, maybe instead of...

    Making good study notes

    A thread for suggestions on good note making practices. How to approach each of the subjects: English: Since it is a bad idea to rote learn essays, because you don't actually learn how to craft responses that fit the question. Rote learn content from the texts you studied instead. Litcharts is...

    afternoon study routine?

    This probably won't work for most people and will lead to burnout if not careful. A couple of routine notes: * Get to school early. I find school is a good conducive environment to study, and typically the school library is open at 8am; and before then, you can always find a cafe enroute to...

    Does God exist?

    It is all good, perhaps I'm missing it but I don't know exactly you think you are accusing me of. A lot of tone of what I say is lost in the fact that is a forum and not face-to-face. I actually think it is good that you have replied to some of the things that they say, especially to correct...

    Does God exist?

    Except if you convert away from Islam. Apostasy is a real issue. (Mind you not just for Islam, they are just the ones where it is more noticeable in certain parts of the world). Many MBB who convert to especially Christianity face persecution in some parts of the world.

    Does God exist?

    The inconsistent of the followers, does not help anyone. Some Muslims would regard those you mentioned as not Muslims, but that is an-inhouse debate really within Islam on what a true Muslim is. Same goes with Christians that go against the Bible (as well as 'liberal Christians'). Are they...

    Does God exist?

    strawman, most Muslims (in Australia and western countries at least, the ones I've interacted with) do not support such.

    catholic school. not all are Christians/catholic at the schools, and those that identify as such, may be nominal. mind you some 14 year old kids are just brats irrespectively.

    Does God exist?

    The leech comparison is inaccurate. The second meeting is only a relatively recent one adopted (although it is probably the best reading) but the embryo is not always suspended. The third reading, if it is a simile, then it does not convince me of the miraculous. This is putting aside that...
