I mean. they say they have facts when all they have is theories that require faith. I have never seen anything but a chicken come out of a chicken egg. Nobody catches fish that are part some other animal.
Could it be Scientists have more faith in their God (their own minds) then Christians do in the Christian God? How come millions aren't spent researching the testimonies of Christians who got healed? Why are these findings not published when they are positive, except in Christian magazines? It's because as Jesus said the world has an agenda? (if they hate me they will also hate you) and Jesus said the world will hate Christians. Isn't that prophecy being fullfilled all around you on R & S?

I think it went some thing like, now I have a man date,
I'll take my rod of iron rule of law globe-all in 4 years.

Isn't seven years of GWB tribulation (law) enough?

Assuming that health wasn't a factor-do you wish you had retired sooner, waited longer, or was the time right for you.
I ahve my time in for a half pay pension-I can stay 4 more years and get 2/3 pay, but I'm not sure which way to go.

Do you wonder why there are so many leaving the ranks of your organization and finding joy and truth in other churches?

When I was a Witness, this possability was unthinkable to me.

Do you find Grace and Happiness in a Kingdom Hall?

Just Curious.

Do you:

1. swish by arguments without being caught up in them and then land the final factual answer to get the most thumbs up :D

2. rant on and on until someone thinks youre cool and then adds you up?

3. feel everyone is your enemy and you fight your way through?

4. youve achieved Zen and can sit and smile even if your answerers are throttling each other?

:D

Chose one or make ur own!

Not the best place to ask, I realize... but I am wondering if any 'psychics' (those with a heightened sensitivity to intelligences without traditional interfaces like bodies and such), especially those in the city, experience a strange phenomenon in the energy spectrum of the strange organism we call the city?

"The Jesuits boast that if they could have a child for the first few years of his life, it would remain a catholic forever."

Doesn´t this demonstrate that religious teachings take advantage of the ingenuous and formative early years of a child to guarantee "membership"?

Isn´t that an unethical practice?

Do religious teachers fear that with an adult open mind criteria, fewer people would fall for their "a la Santa Claus" story?

....he/she is not a "real Christian"? Like, all of a sudden if a christian person rapes someone, takes harmful drugs, or does something else generally considered wrong by all faiths, people will say that he isn't a "real christian". Even if he worships the same way as them and praises their god.
Isn't it a little pompous to assume that being of a certain religion makes you perfect?

While touring Italy years ago I was shocked that the men & women share the same restrooms. These were located at the highway rest stops. I was totally uncomfortable when a woman sat in the next stall and took a dump. And then there was always a woman by the sinks to hand out paper towels with the expectation of getting a tip. My tip was....get the hell out of my way. LOL!!!!!!

This question isn't for people who want to improve this country's police force and purge all the bad/aggressive cops, but for people who think that there should be no police whatsoever.
Should we go into a state where people are free to kill, rape, and steal at will without any fear of government-controlled punishment?
Should victims' families be able to use their anger as justification to take revenge at will?

I found an imitation, old fashioned one in a catalog that looks like it is out of the 1800s. Unfortunately, it does not chime. What type of clocks are your favorites? What style - modern or vintage?

according to zen, the path to well being is proportional to how much you desire... the less you desire, the better off you'll be in life. according to psychoanlyisis (Freudian, Lacanian...), desire is precisely what keeps us going -you can't help it. moreover, our nature is one of constant insatisfaction: we're always wanting more or something else, otherwise, something would be wrong with our "psychosexual development", signaling a considerable neurosis.

besides the obvious intentions of clearing your mind or reducing the turbulence of your thoughts, how should you aproach the practice of zazen if you know you'll never stop desiring? you know you'll be searching for "things" within that space (meditating) but you are told that you shouldn't and you should have no expectations or anything whatsoever. how do you go about that?
