Whether it's about science, religion, love, children, or life in general, please share what you believe is true even if you cannot prove it.

I realize this needs A LOT of editing, but what do you think so far? Does it have a good message?

Typical question.....That pertains to anyone of any age. When you're 12 you might wonder, "What's highschool gonna be like?", when you're 15 you might wonder, "Where does my future lie, what's my career going to be, what college will I attend?", when you're 22 you might wonder, "Wow, so this is life after college...The REAL world.. What will I make of it? Will I succeed?",

27: "I've got a career...But am I really happy with it?"

29: "Oh God, I'm almost 30.....What's become of me?"

37: "Only a few years until...Soon, I will be heading into 'middle-aged'.... Sigh...Have I done everything I wanted to do before I turn 40?"

46: "I must learn to appreciate things for what they are... Will I be able to? I'm aging quickly...Is it truly inner beauty that matters?"

54: "Retirement is just around the corner...Do I have everything I need to continue living a comfortable life?"

67: "Those youngins and their fast ways...Need to learn to accept things and stop with all that high-tech nonsense.... My life, have I made my mark? Will I be remembered?"

79: "I'm blessed to have lived to this age... My family, my friends, I love them... But, being so worn and tired, what will they want with me now?"

88: "I see the light.... Am I forgiven? Will Christ take me into his Glorious Kingdom?"


So tell the 12 year old everything will sort itself out. Highschool can be great, but is also filled with temptations.. As they say, "Live Above The Influence" Not only the influence of drugs and of sex, but above the influence of letting someone control you, above the influence of doing "what's cool" just because you can, etc...

Tell the 15 year old their whole life is ahead of them... Tell them you support their choices.. Help them, support them, but don't make major decisions for them..Be beside them, set an example, this is the age they need it most...Even though they go through their stages of emotions and rebellion and acceptance, etc....Know it will pass and remember what it was like when you were their age.

Tell the 22 year old to get involved, make friends, be themselves. Tell them to chose a path in life they love, not one others have set out for them.

The the 27 year old to take a good look at themselves and to reflect upon their life.

Tell the 29 year old 30 is a "bench-mark in society", but they shouldn't think this is the end of things. Tell them one day when they're 50 they'll look back and wonder why they were so oblivious and how much wiser they are now then they were at 30.

Tell the 37 year old, if they need to do something crazy, then do it, just so long as you're not putting your life in danger...Tell them time will pass, and one day, hopefully they'll be able to say, "Well, all right then. I am 47, I might look 57, feel 77 somedays, but my heart and my mind tell me I'm 20 again. I love my age and I'm happy with it."

Tell the 45 year old what you told the one who is 37.... ;)

Tell the 54 year old that yes, they should make sure things are in order, but not to become overwhelmed or overtaken by it. Life's too short to live worrying about material posessions.

Tell the 67 year old, if you have loved and been loved, then you will be remembered. No life is a mistake or a waste, but some are more meaningful then others.

Tell the 79 year old you want to hear about them. Ask them to tell you stories of their life. Tell them how much you care and wish you could've been around during "their time".

As for the one who is near death...Pray for them...Pray that they will be delivered into God's hands...

I'm having trouble finding a good rock, pop or R&B audition song for a male. That's not from a musical. I'm a bass / baritone.

Any and all help is much appreciated.

up hundreds of noted and brilliant men (the selfsame ones who they love to quote and marvel at) in fields of thought, from biologists, scientists, inventors, philosophers, mathematecians and theoretical physicists and have them in turn look at each atheist and say "you idiot, whatever made you think i discount intelligent design, and dont you dare quote me to support your little argument!" ?

and would you personally find it equally hilarious if the apostle paul himself were to bitchslap selfproclaimed christians who give little thought and say "idiot, ill tell you like i told the corinthians, if you blindly believe, your belief is worthless, if god wanted mindless servants dont you think he could have created them?" i would, that would be HILARIOUS, whaddya think?

Isn't it insane how we go crazy for one another when we're in love.

We do these crazy things ask all these questions about the one we love.

What are your thoughts on love?

Do you believe the power of love is more powerful than anything else out there?

No one can deny the horrible elements of the holocaust. I can't help but wonder though if many of the statistics were greatly exaggerated? For instance, one would have to be somewhat suspicious of the great numbers of supposed holocaust survivors. I mean if the Nazi's were so efficient, why would whole groups of people be able to survive the entire duration of their stay in the camps. If the camps were truly "extermination camps", wouldn't you expect there to be virtually no survivors. Also, the number of 6 million Jews seems extremely high. I do however understand that it is to the Jewish people's advantage to have the highest number possible, thus keeping the crimes fresh in the world's conciousness. Any comments? I know that this is really a "forbidden" topic so please no flames, and some intelligent points please - thank you.

I think we all understand that you can have too much of a good thing. Too much bravery becomes recklessness, being too accomidating makes one a doormat, too much honesty makes one tactless, etc. But wisdom is slightly different, because it is not so much a single attribute, as it is the proper proportion of many attributes. It seems to be the very stuff of knowing how to live and interact, and so based on that, can a person have too much of it? Can a person be so wise that s/he becomes dysfunctional?

How can you be so shallow to say that your existence will finish forever, you must be a very sad person, i mean i truely believe that there is something after death, but some are just so confident that theres nothing, that death is the end of your life, your conciousness, your existence FOREVER! You will never think or breath or be alive in any form again, its sick to think such a thing. Even if you don't, at least try to, no one i know, only the most depressed people with crappy lives think such things.
