When I was in elem. shcool. We would always turn on the TV and watch in amazement. It just seems like NASA needs to step it up to the next level or something. No one cares anymore! I still like watching them though. Maybe it just has some sentimental value.

I love to be alone away from the influences of common people. I have grown into this feeling because I have never really related to anyone else. I drove myself crazy as a youth trying to imitate the ignorance of my social group?
Anyone else have feelings of disconnection from the main stream. I feel like I will have gone through life without anyone having come close to understanding me. I have little desire to ever have anyone understand me, I use to has a youth, but now it doesn't mean much to me. I ask this question out of curiosity, not sadness or despair.

In response to digilook's question, and a interesting experience I had today. I just started a job at a law firm after graduating college, and a fellow alumni from my college works here. He was in a fraternity (typical frat guy) and I was in a sorority (non-typical sorority girl, it was a very small college). He starts telling me how much I remind him of his sister, and all this about how my sunny personality is so great, and all that. It's wierd because we never hung out in college, but now I'd consider him my friend. Have any of you had a similar experience?

I answered a question about love being real or an illusion that came from the bible. Since the asker felt that you couldn’t prove love exists.
My answer was that Love is real. It is real chemical and physical attraction that bonds us.
That Fidelity and monogamy were illusions that came from the Bible.
She gave me best answer to put me up as the poster child for hopeless people who have lost their way.
I quote “People like her are the one's I'm talking about. The bible helps people who are hopeless. People who have lost their way. Once religion is destroyed, suicide rates will increase along with insanity. Tell me I'm wrong, and I'll continue to be right”

So as I set my path leaving suicide and insanity in my wake, I wonder:

Does love exist?
Are fidelity and monogamy illusions?
Should I tell her she’s wrong or should she continue to be right?

God is your mother's spouse?
What the?
Rationally...

So all women christians have to commit adultery?


If the 'father' has a son, yes you say that his son is Jesus....
Rationally...

Jesus is your brother.

If all christians is the children of the 'father' so the father 'have it' too much with your mother! Even with different mother!!


SO, rationally....
Christianity is irrational.


please dont call me atheist because im not an atheist (atheist is more irrational). So guess... what is my religion...?

I have been exploring how different religions reconile natural violence like volcanic eruptions and animals killing and eating other animals. The quote below comes from a Christian POV. What can you add to explain why god created such massive violence on this planet and in the universe? Thanks.

"As far as natural violence, like volcanic eruptions, lions etc., we can look to the Lord's curse of the Earth in Genesis 3:17 "Cursed is the Earth because of you."

I am agnostic and was raised Catholic. I no longer hold those beliefs or practice the religion. Nowadays I hear a lot of rumors about Catholicism from people who simply do not understand the religion at all. They seem to believe what they see in movies and make judgements based on the media and rumors instead of doing research and learning the facts for themselves.

In the additional details you will find some things I want to clear up about the Catholic religion. Is there anything else anyone would like to add?

OR perhaps their are common misconceptions you would like to clear up about your specific religion or another religion about which you are informed.

I would like to hear facts here, no rumors and no prejudice about other religions. Only truths about common misconceptions.
For example: Many people think that Wiccans are evil or devil worshipers and this is NOT true.

Wasn't it noted in the Bible in Genesis that there is male/female just like all of creation.
Don't we refer to the changes of nature as 'Mother Nature'? And the male aspect of God is more constant and unchangeable?

If you have been to any club before, you know the kind of guy I'm talking about. The guy who hits on girls old enough to be his granddaughter, who does dance moves straight out of the seventies and eighties, and trys to talk cool with outdated slang. You know the guy...

But eventually, we will all become "that guy." So I want to know now, so I will not face the behind-the-back ridicule these guys recieve: How long do I got, people???

Also, should clubs enforce an age limit or something, to keep these guys from making fools out of themselves??

God believers comment
"You can't see air but it's there"

Atheist reply
"You can see air molecules through an electron microscope"

God believer comment
"the flowers, grass, and trees is proof that god exist"

Atheists reply
"if it's that easy, I can say the super flying horse made the flowers, grass and trees. Your so called "proof" is an assumption which is not supported by anything"

God believers comment,
"well, I have faith and this conversation isn't going anywhere. I dont want to talk about it anymore."

Atheist reply,
"Good idea, quit before you lose"

Do we have a manmade spiritual caste system also, and do some people intentionally hide spiritual knowledge?
I'm sure some knowledge needs a certain knowledge base before comprehension, but I always figured that the subtle hints were like bait.
Do "they" want us to know?
Which mystic paths have a dead-end and when you get there, it's too late? Do they all connect in the same circle? They is a broad term though?
Even if you aren't into spirituality, it's no secret that these groups are still involved in decision making that affects you and your life?
Anyways, the brave new world reference, what do you think? Is it like this, maybe not the 'pneumatic" aspect LOL, but will it soon be that way also? And are you cool with this?
