I don't wanna offend anyone, but really what is the difference? We're told about these people when we're young and eventually people stop believeing in santa... WHY are we told about these people? To get us to behave. Be good and you'll get xmas presents be bad and you get coal. Be good and u go to heaven be bad and u go to hell. At five years old I was told God could see inside my head and see ALL the bad thoughts I was thinking and if I thought bad thoughts I would go to hell. Is that not CRUEL? Why do people not stop believing in God when they grow up? Why only stop believing in Santa?

Worries in life are subjective and specific to individuals. What are things you don't have to worry about and don't have to do?

I know we are conditioned to think finitely, but what about pondering those things that have no beginning and no ending?

If everyone on the planet suddenly became emotionless logical being's. What repurcussions would this have on buisness, religion, government etc? Would the reality of the ability for world peace finally be recognized as achievable?

if you have ever perceived him or her to be a bad parent. I understand and know that parenting is harder than it seems, and all that matters is that your parents--they loved you, but um...I'm 17. I’m a Capricorn with a Leo and an Aries parent. But I’ve reach a point where it's like the only thing that matters is that they loved me--and because they were my parents and they loved me, they deserve my love in return. It's like it doesn't matter whether or not they are good parents. Somehow, you have to be a bigger person and show them that you appreciate them. They weren’t really helpful to me growing up. More than helping me they seemed to use words and actions that cut, and I was a good kid...I just had fears, insecurities, and selfish wants. Anyways, one particular experience completely opened my eyes, and I used that pain to understand and grow--and I can't be more proud of the person I am right now.

I asked a question earlier
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhniL_58ULPexoCLAvjQ1R_sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20070922234720AAtEPJv

and Johnnie C gave me very good advice, but now I help another issue.

I feel like I'm one to not make many mistakes, because I always think and consider all of my actions. It’s not like I’m judging, but I’m finding it difficult to be able to tell my parents "thank you" for everything they did for me. It’s something I definitely want.

I would especially appreciate some of your insight.

P.S. I included astrological information, because it helps you to be more knowledgeable if you can help me. Astrology…some of it is bias, but it’s a good interpretation of personality. I want to be able to see.

Killings, wars, rapes, brutality, abuses continue everyday... Do you believe that some kind of 'karmic' retribution will come to those that 'cross the line' of morality? Do you believe in the judicial system to 'take care' of those that aren't moral? Are you a nihilist and consider all action to have no 'moral' value or whatsoever? If so, what's the point in being kind, moral or ethical? Are we weaklings in the face of the empty nature of the universe? Will we ever find balance as the human race?

with the hearing music thing, my memory is really crappy so i just got everything all chopped and screwed but yea, thats the gyst of what i heard.

whether u believe in heaven or not, just looking for peoples opinions.
