    So do you have anything to share, concerning your religion, that isn't an opinion but actually a fact?

    still think she is a boy :D

    Don't know if any of you have seen this but apparently she was on that TV show Boiling Points before she became famous. It's strange seeing her without all the makeup and a costume. 1SIK-yzlxiU YouTube - lady gaga MTV Boiling Points 2005

    Alan Watts on "Ex nihilo nihil fit"

    Lets say you ask someone how important the five dollar bill he has in his pocket is to him. He says well I have a lot of money put away so the five dollars is nothing at all to me. Now a couple days later this same man goes to the store, pays for his groceries, comes home and realizes the...

    What Causes People to be Fundamentalist?

    I guess that depends on what faith means to you. I tend to separate the words faith and belief for communication purposes. Belief being acceptance of something that you've been taught without knowing its truthfulness and faith being a trust and acceptance in life as a whole. In my view of...

    What Causes People to be Fundamentalist?

    I think the problem in fundamentalism lies in forgetting that their religion is simply a belief and treat it as though it is a known fact. Maybe moderates are less fundamental because deep down there is still an element of doubt/skepticism. Not to mention the various ways that scripture is...

    Collateral Murder

    Good post. A couple more are the Gulf of Tonkin incident, Operation Northwoods and Cointel Pro. It seems that honesty is the exception and not the rule when it comes to any information we get from those in power and their talking heads. It's very dangerous to simply accept anything that the...

    Zero Tolerance

    I wasn't trying too attack your opinion, sorry if it came across that way. When I said nonsense I was talking about zero tolerance policies in general. It's not really a right or wrong thing with me, it's just another example of putting rules in place that do nothing to deter any real danger...

    Zero Tolerance

    Do you think someone who's bringing a weapon to school in order to harm someone is going to care whether there is a zero tolerance policy or not? That's one of the problems with this type of nonsense, it's usually the ones who aren't trying to do anything wrong that are punished. Someone who's...

    Quotes

    Here are a few from one of my favorite spiritual teachers. “A man will renounce any pleasures you like but he will not give up his suffering.” --George Gurdjieff “Religion is doing; a man does not merely think his religion or feel it, he ''lives'' his religion as much as he is able...

    The Federal Reserve and the 4.6 Trillion used for bailouts.

    I highly recommend doing some research into the history of the Fed. I think it's one of the most corrupt and misunderstood (by the masses) systems ever devised. As someone stated earlier "The Creature from Jekyll Island" would be a good place to start. This video is a little long but it is...

    Are People Born Good, Evil, or Indifferent?

    I see us as being born with a dual nature, such as is represented by the Tao. A natural ego concerned with self centered activity is present at birth and is necessary for physical survival, as well as a side that promotes unity. It seems to me that oftentimes circumstances provide situations...

    Are Tea Partiers Racists?

    Einstein is quoted to have said "You cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it. You must learn to see the world anew." Promoting fear/hate of any kind will always continue the cycle of fear/hate regardless of how the parties involved promote it. Until that worldview...

    Are Tea Partiers Racists?

    One thing to keep in mind is that it would be easy for people in positions of power to plant provocateurs in an organization that they do not like for some reason or other. This is an easy way to discredit a group and can be very hard to detect. There have been instances where police officers...

    Bin Laden's latest statement to USA

    I honestly wonder if the guy is even still alive. The FBI counter terrorism chief, Dale Watson, didn't seem to think so back in 2002 and there have been several instances where he has been either been reported dead or said to be dead in an interview (in the case of Bhutto). Osama bin Laden - a...

    Orgasm involves lots of hormones, right?

    I think the problem people encounter concerning sexual energy, is associating negative emotions with their sexual nature. So if you are told, while growing up, how bad it is to look at porn but you do it anyway for masturbation purposes, the possibility of associating this negativity with your...

    1,000 Architects & Engineers Call for New 9/11 Investigation

    that's fair enough, maybe I misunderstood what you were trying to show by providing the link. First of all, I don't have anyone in on anything. My main point here is to address the possibilities due to the fact that there are so many conflicting reports from equally qualified individuals...

    Religion in Sci-Fi Classics

    I really enjoyed the later Outer limits series that aired in the mid nineties through the early 2000's. Since each show brought an independent story (except for a few that had sequels) they were able to bring a wide variety of religious concepts into the show. A couple that come to mind that...
