Society & Culture - 8 December 2007

I mean, are we all such beasts at heart that we all need to spend our childhoods being constantly drilled about right and wrong behavior and being threatened with everlasting punishment if we make the wrong decisions and have the wrong impulses? And that’s just from a religious perspective. Even the stories we tell our children and the movies we take them to see every school holidays are loaded with messages designed to teach children moral behavior. Why is there such an influence on morals?

i have never claimed to be their when he was on the earth, but then no one else living now as either, so how does any one know just because it is written down to believe everything,

you say miracles : i say where are the miracles now

why can god not do just one miracle now and prove he is 100% real and save every one of us?

this seems like i am having a go i am not i want a answer
i am looking for answers but nothing makes me believe when i see hate hurt and suffering and death all over the world when people say we have a god and he could stop this

so i ask for help show me proof
this is what i want and many others too

I am aware that this question has been asked, but I thought it might be good to revisit. If you disagree, well, there's not much I can do about that.
To the topic at hand, keep in mind this is not saying I can prove the nonexistence of God or that I can prove everything negative (if I were able to prove any negative at all). I am simply asking, mathematically and philosophically, can you prove a negative? I have been quick to assert this when asked to prove God doesn't exist, but after looking into it further, it seems quite possible and necessary at times to prove negatives. Your thoughts?

If you do tell me why and if you had a tarot card reading did everything they tell you pretty much end up happening or did happen in the past? I just recently had one done and wow I am surprised of what they told me what was going on now and what will happen to me in the next three to four months, so hopefully what this psychic told me does come true for me.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a Federal income supplement program funded by general tax revenues:
*It is designed to help aged, blind, and disabled people, who have little or no income; and
*It provides cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter.

Frozen embryos are disabled and have little or no income, so how "old" do they need to be before they qualify?

Also, the current oldest embryos are about 15 years old. At what age should they become eligible for marriage?
