All you may know of heaven or hell is within your own self.

If we are willing to suppress our self-centered nature so that our higher spiritual nature can gain control, it will bring about a resurrection and ascension of the transformed self, which can create heaven on earth.

I work technical support, which requires alot of customer service. Now, I enjoy my job and love speaking with customer. Many are lovely people and roll with the punches when some error has occured. But there are those that are just down right nasty and for no apparant reason. Do you think this is because we're speaking on the phone and not face to face? Do you think its because in their lives they have to bow down to others and use this as a chance to "vent"? Have you ever behaved badly to someone without any real provocation?

I was just checking out the list of holiday's under Society & Culture and St Patrick's Day is there but no other parton saints are there and I was wondering how come?

Why don't we all celebrate St Andrew, St David and St George's day with such gusto?

scroll down to criticisms...

I see chosen by grace get's a mention:
Criticisms made by member "Chosen by Grace" (who can usually be identified by his use of the USS Defiant as his avatar)[7] are that the moderators discriminate against him for being a Calvinistic Christian.

they took as captives? Please explain how you can say that it's marriage and that they were caring for the women who had just witnessed the killings of the men in their family? For those who do use this excuse, have you ever considered how you would feel if you were unfortunate enough to be one of those women? Do you honestly believe they really wanted to be with killers, the murderers of their husbands, brothers, fathers? I just don't get this at all.

Thanks in advance for the answers. Have a great day.

If you deny it, than look at the religion statistics of all the global countries. It's a fact that around 75%(3/4) of people will carry on the religious beliefs of their parents to some extent or demonation. Hinduism in India, Buddhism in Thailand, Shintoism in Japan, one of the many tribal religions still in existance in many parts of Africa.

Child indoctrination is highly psychological. Child process information differently than adults, when a child is met with a constant influx of religious beliefs when they are young, they rarely develop the need, or often even the psychological capacity to question these beliefs. Many get to the point where they see other beliefs as taboo, which can be seen in our culture.

What twisted God would judge people based on their religious beliefs keeping this in mind. What, does God love some people more than others makign sure they are born in the right area to choose the right religion? Open up your eyes people.

I'm just being honest. I believe you just stay the course of what you do as long as nobody gets hurt and death isn't a sentence in the end.

Or do you let the store wrap things whenever possible? Do you spend a long time over each one and wrap them carefully, with consideration to how the ribbons and bows will look with the paper you've used? Or, do you shove a gift into gift bags and throw a bit of tissue over it to hide what's in the bag?

I take a long time on each one. And carefully coordinate the paper and ribbons and bows. I add little touches, such as threading a contrasting bit of curling ribbon thru the bow. Love using those holographic, sparkly ribbons, etc.

My daughter once told me she didn't want to open the gift, as the package was too pretty to get torn up.

Have you started wrapping yet? Mine are about half done. Since I only wrap one or two per day, it takes many days to get it done.

do they neccessarily also believe that it is impossible to be an intellectually honest and emotionally fulfilled non-believer?

It seems that everytime one believes the former, they also believe the latter.

I have recently been looking on internet about islamic stories and found interesting stuff like this one:

One Day a Jewish person came to Imam Ali (AS), thinking that since Imam Ali thinks he is too smart, I'll ask him such a tough question that he won't be able to answer it and I'll have the chance to embarrass him in front of all the Arabs.

He asked "Imam Ali, tell me a number, that if we divide it by any number from 1-10 the answer will always come in the form of a whole number and not as a fraction."

Imam Ali (AS) looked back at him and said, "Take the number of days in a year and multiply it with the number of days in a week and you will have your answer."
