The Nobel Prize Winning Physicist Richard Feynman wrote this, and certainly in his autobiographical writing he was very open to spiritual possibilities (although not so much to religion).

And I wonder..if some scientists have lost their will to explore, and to discover, and to open their minds to all lines of enquiry, to reclaim the renaissance and seek understanding.

Scientists and Atheists have you lost your Spirit?

Quote

"A poet once said, "The whole universe is in a glass of wine." We will probably never know in what sense he said that, for poets do not write to be understood. But it is true that if we look in glass of wine closely enough we see the entire universe.

hi
recently in the uk a young lady gave birth to twins. She was married and her and her husband both follow the jehovahs witness faith. Unfortunately the mother began to bleed and due to her beliefs was unable to have a blood transfusion. Her husband also upheld his wifes belief and request. She died. What are your views on this. Do you think she should have had a transfusion so that the babies could have known and benefitted from their mother? Or due you believe they were right to uphold their beliefs even though it resulted in death?

In the pamphlet I just read, I believe it stated that the President and the two direct men underneath him (I could be getting wrong, I don't have it with me) are considered prophets, leading the Mormon Church in modern times.

Are they really considered prophets? Or are they just "Inspired" men who have been able to...inspire...and move their way up through the ranks of your church (Sorry that sounds crude, not meant to be)...I just found this really interesting.

One day I read that Dianetics could help me with my life. So I went to a Scientology Org. and did the personality test, and they pointed out all the areas that I needed to improve on and Dianetics was the way to go. I underwent about 6 hours of Auditing and felt really uncomfortable with their methods of Auditing. I keep getting pushed into buying books and courses from them. I don't want to be a part of them anymore. How do I break ties with these people?

I've seen this guy around and he's just not worth it. Not him. Not imasis2. Not Oregon Flower. And not any of the others who have been around but continue to change their avatars so as not to raise suspicions. I applaud you for standing up for your beliefs but I have to believe you've got better things to do with your time than to consistently try to fight demons that are determined not to go away. I say the best defense is to ignore them. They're like bullies who like to get a rise out of people, kind of like an older brother who won't stop poking even though dad threatened to turn the car around and go home. They're not going to listen. But maybe that's just me.

Lets say you take up all the dirt and rocks and vegetation of a holy place and moved it somewhere else, leaving nothing but a hole that is one mile deep in the original location. would the holy land now be the new place where you put the dirt and rocks and vegetation or the old location with the hole?

i'm confused on this idea that people make a choice to be gay. the reasoning given is that it is not natural because only men and women can procreate. this idea just seems to open a whole can of worms of side topics though. first on the issue of gayness being a choice, to say that would imply that heterosexuality is a choice as well. and if that's the case you can't really argue that heterosexuality is natural. i don't believe nature is open to choice. example, if i drop a ball, the natural thing for the ball to do is fall to the ground. the ball does not have a choice. on the argument that only male/female couples can procreate, shouldn't this statement be reworded? it is a rather broad field. why not just go one step further and say only humans can create humans? so two humans of the same sex can create another human. of course not. only a man and a woman can create another human? of course not. only a potent man and a fertile woman can reproduce? yes.

I heard that the positions of planets change their houses/angles when one migrates to distant land (from his native country). If this happens then a person's life transforms completely. Moreover, this school of thought suggests that the planet's position vary even between the locations on east and west coast of the United States. So, if an Indian whose fate is very bad might really be fortunate if he migrates to the United States. - and furhter if he moves to either east coast/west coast/southern US.

I wish to know if anyone has realized this in his / her life.

...yet, it has over 300 admonishments for heterosexuals, does that mean that homosexuals are the chosen people, because they need less guidance?

the reason for this question,i grew up catholic, got baptised, had my first holy communion, did classes and church every sunday.this was my upbrining all my life, but i really didnt understand or get it until i was 45, and it didn't come from all my training and school?it came from a close friend, who told me to accept christ as my savior and ask for forgiveness?now it all makes sence and i really truely believe. he's out there, he loves us, and he wants us happy, all we have to do is ask.can you believe its that simple?how come certain religions make it so hard to understand, or so hard to feel accepted?has anyone else had the same thing happen to them?

We believe that Jesus Christ knelt in the Garden of Gethsemene and took upon himself the sins of the world. That he died on the cross and arose three days later so that we may have hope in the ressurection for Eternal life. We believe that Jesus organized his church while on this earh. We believe that he arose into heaven and sits on the right hand of God awaiting the second coming.

I posted an answer describing how happy and successful my marriage is and received a thumbs down for my answer. Is this strictly a Christian view?

What are your opinions on the subject?

This base matter from which we are built
Is starstuff

Transformed from frozen light and made animate with the spirit of the universe manifest

In a living alchemy that transforms

The base matter we are made from into the resonant Gold that is life

Tied by a silver chord into creation.

We are the stuff of stars forged into flesh from base matter.

Are you living Alchemy?

I read somewhere that the cults always use guilt over some natural act or desire to keep people loyal to the cult.

what are your thoughts on this?
