if indeed there is some being, or force, beyond our ability to fully understand or know; a being incomprehensibly powerful, and great, then how are we to know the extent of this power? how is it possible to say we know that god is "infinitely" great? infinitely aware? seeing, and having power over all things---always---and everywhere???
couldnt god be the most powerful being of all that is, and yet, might not so great a being have limits to thier power? thier understanding? thier awareness? why is required that god be perfect, and limitless???

Well, my school finally has a Drama Club up and running; and our first show already planned for next year; but we already know that the school will suply us with little to help our cause. We've been in and out of meetings all week, trying to think of good ideas. We have a bake sale this weekend, and we've turned down the car wash because of trampy girls at our school wearing as little clothes as possible to the car wash.

So I was wondering if you guys could help us with some ideas to raise money??

Which is more true? (1) Children would be better off not to receive such a falsely bright and happy notion of life which then leads to a lifetime of disillusionment and questioning "where is my bright and happy life?" or (2) Because we create our own realities and fulfill our own prophecies, it is good to instill all positive notions of the future in children's minds? I wonder about these things because I wonder if being unhappy is a product of unrealistic expectations that I have carried from childhood. Would a hard realism have served us all better? Maybe if we were raised to expect unending struggle and hardship, we would find more value in life's natural, incidental pleasures and beauties without waiting for happiness. If, on the contrary, we manifest our hopes and dreams, then we need even MORE optimism. This haunts me as a very essential "either / or" philosophical question about life.

Historically adherents to Catholicsm are poor because it is in their teaching that only in poverty and suffering they will find salvation. That is why the people are poor and the church is the wealthiest in the world.
