    Young women leaving religion more than young men.

    Not to become the mansplaining religious too conservative for his own good advocate here, but sometimes discretion and tact is more useful than the conquest battle march. It has been my experience that some people truly enjoy putting some types of people in their place. I don't know what this...

    Young women leaving religion more than young men.

    1. General disagreements in hierarchy, status, and position 2. They are fighting back and becoming that which they were denied for so long 3. Men typically like woman and political positions becoming more so available for men than woman tend to be contrary to those held by woman. I've got my...

    Lets Talk About Quakerism

    Nice people has been my experience also, and I noticed somewhat liberal. I've had discussions with a quantum physicist who labeled himself a quaker. It has been over a decade now.

    What if news websites, macaroni and cheese, the Book of Genesis and debit cards all ceased to exist?

    The world without mac and cheese, debit cards, news channel websites, and the book of Genesis would lead us towards a very different concept of what is allowable with macaroni, cheese being no longer available because we all know mac is best with cheese, so there is no way on earth this would...

    Is loving your enemies a good thing ?

    That's not even remotely true ... Unconditional love would equate to being a friend and making efforts to prevent that type of disaster. There's no love in allowing that to happen when options are available to prevent it. How does prison sound? I hear it's not so grand, man. We'll keep the...

    Being Bipolar

    Ok, so the Dr said I had a chemical imbalance and that meds would help stabilize my mood, so I start taking meds in the mid 90's. I decided I didn't like the meds, which is nothing new for people like me. Instead, I started utilizing coping skills and theory to combat the imbalance. I went...

    positive vibes

    20 pushups so far this morning and I anticipate another 180 or so. No smoothies, vitamins, or tai chi but I have considered tai chi at the gym. I'm not sure if it's still being offered. It has been close to two years since I last walked through the front doors. I'm going back and soon. Lets...

    Is loving your enemies a good thing ?

    No, but it does empower me to care. Betrayal hurts, but it can also be empowering. It's a spiritual workout and people typically show their character. This helps me determine how I choose my friends. I don't have many. I'm more of a soloist. We know people by their fruits, namely social...

    Physical Christianity

    Oh, I fear plenty I simply approach the throne as I am. Peter built the church, which has branched in many directions. Most have been productive. I branched out also and I hope to become productive. No hurry, no rush, I'm not proselytizing, nor do I aim to convert anyone. I'm not in this to...

    Poetry thread

    The Wandering Man Setting out to sail the seas, I began this trip with only me. With worn out boots and waters black, from the miles I've drifted, I can't come back. And like millions of stones falling from the sky, rain crashes down upon a head raised high. With aching feet and duty bound, I...

    Speak Only in Random Song Lyrics

    In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door In the still of the night I feel my heart beating heavy Telling me I gotta have more In the shadow of night I see the full moon rise Telling me what's in store My heart start aching, my body starts a shaking And I...

    Is loving your enemies a good thing ?

    I agree, but I still resist a violent stand if I'm able. It is in the caring that I have most self-control and temperance. Being mindful of the need to remain peaceful helps me maintain peaceful relations. If I'm unable to remain peaceful, then I've broken at that point and that's never good...

    Is loving your enemies a good thing ?

    I've been told that I'm too nice. It has been suggested that I care too much. This is why I get so angry and upset with some people. It has occurred to me that if I am ever required to hurt anyone, I want it to hurt me to do so. I'm hurt anyway, but to hurt someone while caring about them...

    The trinity is false - I have proof

    Birthed? What? Not created? Formed, then? What? If not created, what?

    The trinity is false - I have proof

    Hosea 4:6 suggest that Gods people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Why is the trinity confusing? According to life we have parents as children and how we understand the experience as living souls. God = Parents Son = Offspring Holy Spirit = Truth/reality

    Is loving your enemies a good thing ?

    Sometimes the venom is what motivates the need to acknowledge a need to check myself. It's not constant, but it happens ... the need to check myself. I've noticed something happening in my country. The divisive nature of comment and action, seemingly aimed to do just that ... Divide us. It...

    If science proves that non-local consciousness is real how does that change your understanding

    I'm not certain it would change much of anything. If the entire human population represented a single brain synapse, belonging to the much larger mind, which is how I view it anyway, then thought is transferred from one catalogue or point of transfer and reception to another. How we process...

    Physical Christianity

    It comes with life, environments, conditioning, aim, and ability, as well as method in how we operate and interact with different types of people. Some would insist I'm not and shouldn't be associated with the Christian title. It has been suggested, actually. So much so, that I was compelled...

    Speak Only in Random Song Lyrics

    Heaven awaits your heart And flowers bloom in your name Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh You've got to fly (fly high) Fly to the angels All the stars in the night Shine in your name Though it hurts me way deep inside When I turn and look and find that you're not there I try to convince myself that the...

    Speak Only in Random Song Lyrics

    I look at the world and I notice it's turning While my guitar gently weeps With every mistake, we must surely be learning Still my guitar gently weeps, yeah
