in the supermarket today, the old bloke in front of me was asked if he wanted any cash back from his visa."no thanks, the more i have, the more i'll spend". the checkout girl looked as if she wanted to kick his teeth down his throat and the rest of the queue shuffled around embarrassed and looked away from him as he looked around us for confirmation he was the worlds greatest wit. what similarly boring, dull and predictable remarks make you cringe/commit murder?

2.) A proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural in contrast to well established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact.
3.) Contemplation or speculation.

Faith:
1.) Confidence in a person, thing or Idea.
2.) Belief that is not based on proof
3.) Belief in ANYTHING ..code of ethics, teachings, religions
4.) The obligation of loyalty or fidelity to a person, promise etc. and the observance of it.


Ever heard the quote .. "In faith, in theroy? or In faith, in truth?

I have seen a lot of athiests on this board attack "religious" minded people for their Faith. Yet, by definition you as an athiest have a Faith too... so you are in a way attacking your own belief system.
I see the opposite too.. a lot of Christians attack athiests for their lack of faith.. when in fact they have a faith... just not

One of the greatest geniuses of our world was Albert Einstein, which rejected the concept of a personal God referred to in bible and other religions with similar beliefs. I don’t understand how anyone can believe in the bible, Qu’ran, or whatever other theistic belief based religion. Along with all of the silly stories in the bible come a load of other contradicting ideas and writings. Along with this comes the belief in a soul/free will dogmatically. I’m a psychology major and also have done enough research to conclude that religion is just a history of man trying to explain the unknowns of our world.

A historian should be able to pick up on the consistent growth of the world’s religions with the changing times and the way man adjusts the characteristics of their deity’s to suit their new found lifestyles. The history of the writing of the bible. The obvious decline of poly-theistic based cultures from history. A biologist would understand the inner most minute processes of our bodies and conclude that divine intervention has no place in the miraculous ‘curing’ of some people.

The processes of decision making is a brain process that does not involve a soul or ghost in a machine that hits the execute button. Studies, research, and other findings have documented how we make decisions and certain areas of the brain are active at the time. Strangely enough, our conscious mind becomes aware of our final decision micro-milla-seconds after our actual decision is made. Although all of the knowledge we have is subjectable in neurophysiology and the soft sciences, it is still evident that it makes a whole lot more sense than some magical soul. Everything we do just lines up with the theory’s so well that there is no room for a personal God anymore. The school of common sense would reveal what I know.

Disregarding all of the complex ideas of defense mechanisms and the nature of human beings to protect themselves from any mentally diminishing thoughts; it is evident why people still believe in the rigid and illogical concepts of God. It is the fear of the unknown, death, and mental freedom. People feel as if without a God there is no guide for their journey through life. When they are hopelessly upset and alone there is a father figure in the sky that will wipe their tears away and grant them invincibility. However, one can’t deny the justifications against these beliefs, and the logic that does not align with the concept of God. It seems that people do not apply rationalizations when it comes to their own personal and indulging beliefs.

Someone once left this quote on one of my questions; “And man created God in His Image”

they are so pushy and annoying. Like I was in Safeway and Walmart today, and it seems like almost all the short women dont move at move, like they expect you to get out of their way, even if you were there first, be it looking at something, being in a certain aisle, or just walking up the aisle...I am sick of short woma (not all, just the ones who think they are better than you) I guess since Im five foot nine and 120 pounds...I should move out of their or something.
It sure seems like short women are very bitchy!

I have been with my bf for about 5 years now, every single argument we have had supposedly it has been my fault and if not he makes it into it. He is a good father to his son, he has a great career, makes good money, and is a good man in general but when it comes to me he can care less. He's called me worthless, b***h, idiot, and so on. I take care of him, I cook, clean, wash, iron and everything else in between but somehow in his mind I am a worthless woman in his eyes. I have a great career and he puts my work down. We don't have any children together but I'm worried about what if I leave him and there is noone like him out there, as far as the career, being a great dad, family man, making good money and so on. I want to be happy but am I just whining and being selfesh or am I being reasonable? Please help me!!!
