Have you ever asked a question, a real question that was genuinely serious, but hardly got any response?

If you're just looking for points, it doesn't matter does it. You could care less. . . . 2pts. and you're gone.

But there are some of us who enjoy posting a good question, and sometimes we have something we would really like to know, especially if there is someone who might give us an Excellent answer.
But for the really tough questions, it is as much a challenge to someone who might give it a shot, if they are up to it. But otherwise, not everyone can take on a tough question. And have the appearance of knowing what you're talking about, because it does count. It wouldn't be an important question anyway.

It just kinda sucks, that it sits there and nobody note worthy will take a jab at it. It isn't there to scare peeps, but its there coz we do want to know if there is an answer.

Isn't that what a question is for? To provoke those gears in your head to function to some extent?

But what about this soul many talk of? This does not require neural pathways as such. The soul keeps going but the dream ends?

How would you defend your humanity?

Suppose the Earth was being invaded by aliens from another planet who wanted to destroy us because they thought human beings were unimportant. After some brief interaction they reconsider and will allow us to live if someone can define humanity to them. How would you define what it means to be a human being?

What do you think of this?

I don’t hate it as much as it may seem
I know life can’t always be a dream
Someday I will once again gleam
I’m the only one on my team
Sometimes it’s hard to row this boat upstream
Only to be pulled back down stream
I want to live in my daydream
I’d be resting in the suns beam
As his love helps me further upstream
So filled with joy I want to scream
Always loveless never dreamless
Fantasy’s so seamless
Reality feels so hopeless
I pray for a day that life is no longer graceless
The man that I love no longer faceless

I have several pieces of art work that I have found in homes that were being cleaned out.?

First of all, I live in Tucson, AZ. I have found some of the art on the internet but have difficulty believing the value. I have not been able to find anything on J Shaw.

The first is the "Sheepherder" by Peter Hurd valued on-line @ $1,650.00 by McMahon Fine Art Gallery. (Lithograph)

#2 - is by J Shaw 41 - unknown title - could not find anywhere!

#3 is called "The Tinkers" by William Strang (etching)

#4 is called "Goin' Home" by Thomas Hart Benson signed in pencil. Valued on-line by Harco Gallery @ $2,700. (Lithograph)

I can't seem to find a way of attaching pictures of the art. If anyone can help, that would be appreciated!
Can you validate these values and perhaps give me some assistance in finding the art by J. Shaw.

Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

ok...let me get this straight once and for all about how God set things up for us...?

1.He created life and everything in existence.
2.Angels were part of his perfect creations.
3.oops! maybe God wasn't so perfect after all...one angel dared to
challenge him. ok, so God is flawed in creating perfection.
4.As a result of this new battle that now the devil was in competition for our souls....this is a battle God could lose! oh no! God is weaker than the devil!!
5.So now God decides to be a vengeful, jealous God and establishes rules for all his creation....."be good...or else!!". Wow, so now he's also a mean God that would send his creations gone bad to the burning ovens of the universe.

6. he sent his only son to save us from his creations gone bad. an embarrassing God, my oh my.

7. his word, rules and warnings were passed on to only the immediate apostles as another way to save us. We must follow these specific rules, this particular process and only then will you be given eternal life in heaven. If you get it wrong, if you dare make a mistake... yur done.
