Society & Culture - 24 November 2007

What is this myth that all real spiritual paths eventually merge. Point in question the Left Hand Path and the Right Hand Path. The Right Hand Path is the path of union with deity/nature or reality. The Left Hand Path involves Self-Deification or personal immortalization of the psyche. They are not very complementary though they do use similar spirituality technology though with differing intent.
I am LHP and have been so for 20 yrs, I have nothing but respect for my RHP brothers as I feel each path calls those who are suited to it.
So the results are extreemly different, so why is everyone think they are the same. To me it is plain foolishness to assume that there is only one way of acheiving Gnosis a.k.a. Enlightenment.

What do you think about parents who hate one another, yet stay together for the kids?

The same parents who are constantly arguing and bickering amongst one another in front of their children instead of getting divorced?

Many scams have a common theme. A promise of great riches. Yet, there is always an excuse or a reason why you have to give some of your own personal money. You give and give and give in order to get the imaginary promised prize. How much money have you been scammed out of?

If you are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or any other religion who asks you for money watch these videos and explain to me how the scam is any different?

Is the promise of heaven the greatest scam of all time?

Athiest what do you think?

There r as many religions as many people. There is strictly no Christian, no Islami Muslim, no Hindu or Buddhist. But we all have some faith in something we really believe. So I say all have own tailored religion in which we truly believe. So why so much of hype about religion when we r truly not following any religion. Those who call themselves true Islamic r in fact fanatics. Such people r found in every religion who exploit religious fervor for their own mean goals. So where do we stand with respect to religion, society and humanity at large. I think worst suferer at the hands of so called religious persons has been humanity. All religions proclaim humanity but this is what missing everywhere ? We r badly divided in the name of race, religion and nationality.

First, the original question (link): http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Am2pJiJL5bNKBcdk9eRd0F3sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071124115711AA0Gz0B

Many answerers, pro or con, denied or confirmed a “sexual” link to the act of breast feeding.

Why isn’t breast feeding a sexual act? Indeed the baby derived from a sexual act. Why is breastfeeding pure, and intercourse impure? If a woman who is breast feeding is aroused sexually, is that so wrong? Or if a man viewing the act of breastfeeding is aroused, is that so wrong? Why do we separate, and compartmentalize the act of intercourse as impure, and the breastfeeding of a child as pure; aren’t they inherently linked? What are people’s hang-ups with the sexuality of breastfeeding, or sexuality and sex itself?

These are characters in an English sit-com, which is shown nightly, in the US and Canada, on PBS. Hyacinth, Richard's wife, is a particularily obnoxious, pretentious woman who makes poor Richard's life somewhat difficult. Elisabeth is a very thoughtful and understanding woman who lives next door, and quite often sympathizes with Ricahrd. The show is a comedy, has anybody watched it?

How do you explain John chapter 6 The Bread of Life Discourse: v. 54-57 & 60

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.
Then many of his disciples who were listening said " THIS SAYING IS HARD; WHO CAN ACCEPT IT?"

The Eucharist is not a matter of filling our bellies with the flesh and blood of Christ but a way of receiving him into ourselves. Jesus never contridicted himself, he was not a flip-flopper. This is as literal as he ever spoke. How can so many of his claimed followers switch and twist his words to make it acceptable to them? With all else that some Christians claim to believe, why is this so far beyond the realm of possiblity or acceptibility?

Jock hurriedly passed the drink back, saying "Och, Ah didna ken there wuz a choice!"

I think most Christians would agree that Christ gave much to the world through the way he lived and what he taught about God and the kingdom of God, and also through salvation which was accomplished through his death. Does one have greater importance than the other?
