Society & Culture - 7 August 2006

One of the reasons we are in the mess we have inflicted on Mother Earth, is because of our lack of acknowledgment to what we have been given within us. This is causing mass ignorance and selfinflated egos. This is not the way forward.

Freewill is used to make our choices and decisions during this part of life. It is not fair to our innerself to neglect this.

If we do not look within how can we really make the right decisions or be prepared to learn from our mistakes?

We cannot turn away from ourselves and try to justify our greeds and arrogance anymore.

I was thinking about taking Amanita Mascaria for first time.
How many should l take and can l just try a tiny bit first to see what it is like?
Where should l do it? and why.
Should l surround my self with things that give me piece and love?
Can l take by my self or in the bush?
My girl friend does not approve and is angry, should l take in front of her?
Would love a full desciption. l am responsible and want to broaden my awareness. Thank you.

If being gay is something that God wants us put to death for, yet he hasn't, shouldn't that mean that ignorant homophobes need to shut the hell up?

And don't say that's what we have AIDS for because AIDS is just a much a straight disease as it is a gay disease, and anyone, regardless of orientation is going to get it as long as they sleep around.
I simply don't believe that God wants us put to death for it, and I don't even believe it is still or ever was a sin( my opinion anyway), and that's why God hasn't put us to death. So, therefore, anti-gays need to mind their own business. Anyone agree?

Why is it that when someone tells you that there's billions of stars in the universe,
you believe them. But if they tell you there's wet paint somewhere you have to touch it?

I see this constantly on this board..the assumption that there is something like an organized athiest beleif system.

Simply put an athiest is someone who does not beleive in a God or Gods. That's it there is nothing more. No ritual, not dogma, no. organization, no book, no code You take two atheiest and the only thing in common between them is that they do not beleive in deities.

They do not beleive in a personified entity or entities that either created the universe or has some sort of control over them.

Athiest do beleive in higher powers, forces, and energies that influence their lives and existance but they do not personify them and lump them all into one or more deities.

Athiest do beleive in morals, ethics, and social behavior but not because some Deity tells them that they should.

Recently answered a question about masochism in relation to hell, and was wondering... what do you believe they're like?

Typically, hell is depicted as fiery, painful, evil.
Heaven, as pure, pleasurable, innocent.

But... isn't heaven a reward and hell a punishment?

So therefore, if people in heaven find sex pleasurable, would they be denied it due to the pure nature of heaven?
or if people in hell were masochists, would they be denied pain (which some believe is a part of hell) because it gives them pleasure?

I'd love to hear your opinions; I'll elaborate on my own opinions in a detail at a later time.

Thank you, ahead of time, for responding to this touchy subject, as some believe religion & politics are the two subjects that should not be discussed to avoid conflict.

If you say "God is good", you're going to hell for lying on God. That's blasphemy

God Will Kill Ethiopia

"You Ethiopians will also be slaughtered by my sword," says the LORD. And the LORD will strike the lands of the north with his fist. He will destroy Assyria and make its great capital, Nineveh, a desolate wasteland, parched like a desert. The city that once was so proud will become a pasture for sheep and cattle. All sorts of wild animals will settle there. Owls of many kinds will live among the ruins of its palaces, hooting from the gaping windows. Rubble will block all the doorways, and the cedar paneling will lie open to the wind and weather. This is the fate of that boisterous city, once so secure. "In all the world there is no city as great as I," it boasted. But now, look how it has become an utter ruin, a place where animals live! Everyone passing that way will laugh in derision or shake a defiant fist. (Zephaniah 2:12-15 NLT)

Why do people insist on using the word 'loose' when they mean 'lose'??? I see it happening everywhere! It drives me nuts! For anyone who wants to know: LOOSE is when your pants are loose, the rope is loose...lose is when you lose your job, lose your money....sheeesh!
