The news is so sad and depressing. The fighting. wars, poverty and torture. The bad news nearer to home of (again) poverty, racial tension, muggings, murder. Even the less serious happenings like councils doing their very best to ban Christmas, bit by bit. Fearful of offending our ethnic 'friends' while we are seriously offended by being made to feel like second class citizens in our own country.

The waste of human life through illness or accident, especially the very young, tugs on our heartstrings. Cruelty to animals and abuse of children makes me cry.

We read all this in our newspapers every day and here it on the news, how do we cope with the enormity of it all.? Do we try to do something about a particular problem? Do our actions depend on how aware we are or how socially commited?

Things make me seethe when I read about them but usually it wears off by the close of the day, am I heartless or is it normal?

I have been asked by Yahoo to give up my freedom of speech,which I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by considering this is the same company which willingly handed internet info over to the Chinese govt about Chinese citizens on internet for them to use in prosecution against dissenters within China. What should I do,just back off for awhile until I'm off the radar or simply set up another account and full speed ahead? I ask in this area because it's this area that got mein trouble,seems some can't handle the truth being uttered in their presence.

I'm just looking for tools in living a good life. Nothing too strict. I'm leaning toward Buddhism or Scientology. Something that I can be involved in, but not take up all my extra time.
Nothing Christian!!!! And how do i get involved? web sites? phone numbers? local branches. I live in Niantic, Connecticut

Hi I am writing a book. And one of the characters is an old Deity, in fact he was the first one! But I am struggling to find out his/her/it's name.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

majority of the atheists replied to my last question that the dont believe that Jesus was ever exixted.

when your doctor tell you, that you were affected from such disease that caused by this germs, bacteria, virus etc., you never see them but you believe and take medicine to kill them,

you would have never seen your great great grand parents but you still believe them that they existed and you came through them,

there are many unexplainable thing that many human didn't see but they still agree with them

but the great truth is history proves that Jesus existed, our calender is divided from Before Christ and After Christ.

why are you still stubborn to resist Jesus? dont you think that you are violated by Satan to believe this?

For years i would stop at the supermarkets and look into their trash and provide myself and the family with most of our food for free. In fact many of the places became aware of me and would delibetrately put the good food aside for me.

I mentioned this to some people that were complaining they were hving a hard time having enough money to buy food. hey condemed me and said I was terrible. No I was not that poor and that is one reason I was not.

I just don't think it's a good idea to leave on outside lights on all night. We turn ours off before we go to bed.

why do i see some people joining very fundamentalist and extreme cults and religions? and these cults brainwash them into doing stupid things, and when they realise its too late for most of them.
i dont want to mention the name of these extreme cults , but i wnder why some human beings find solace in such forms of paranoid religious organisations?
