Yes true , however , that is the way human beings have treated each other for eons , sad but true . Is the Bible a reflection of mans views rather than Gods ? Some say the Bible has been hijacked , me I don't know , but my belief is that all wars have been started over consumerism , in that I mean there has always been thing that other want and will fight to get it , whether its oil a piece of land etc, consumerism is a man made contruct , remember and not, IMO , a design of the creater .


Who designed those "consumers"??confused professor dunno here's to you

My definition would be similar to yours Ambrose, because I would feel compassion and want to help, or be there if someone else was hurting, whether I liked them or not, and regardless of their situation.

I'd find it impossible to feel someone else's pain (empathy), and never presume to, since personal hurt is relative to individual experience, and try as we might, we never exactly fit anyone else's shoes.

Compassion for me then, is seeing something or someone hurting for whatever reason, and being hurt by the wrongfulness of the situation as much as by the other person's or thing's pain.


Actually it's the dictionary definition, not mine, Ginger. I guess I'm not compassionate about sloppy word use - combing different concepts into one concept because it feels good to do so or something...

Here's a good discussion from Wikipedia about "Compassion":

"Compassion is best described as an understanding of the emotional state of another; not to be confused with empathy. Compassion is often combined with a desire to alleviate or reduce the suffering of another; to show special kindness to those who suffer. Compassion may lead one to feel empathy with another person. Compassion is often characterized through actions, wherein a person acting with compassion will seek to aid those they feel compassionate for.

"Compassionate acts are generally considered those which take into account the suffering of others and attempt to alleviate that suffering. In this sense, the various forms of the Golden Rule are in part based on the concept of compassion, if also on the concept of empathy.

"Compassion differs from other forms of helpful or humane behavior in that its focus is primarily on the alleviation of suffering. Acts of kindness which seek primarily to confer benefit rather than relieve existing suffering are better classified as acts of altruism, although, in this sense, compassion itself can be seen as a subset of altruism, it being defined as the type of behavior which seeks to benefit others by reducing their suffering."

Also, (Merriam-Webster): sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it.

Actually, you're defining "empathy," not compassion. They're closely related, but empathy is specifically about feeling things from the other person's point of view, whereas compassion is about a sympathetic view of the other person - which doesn't necessarily require understanding that person. For example, I could feel compassion toward an alien being when I had little or no means of knowing what it was feeling.

An Atheist's Creed

I believe in a purely material universe that conforms to naturalistic laws and principles.

I believe that the life we have is the only one we will have, that the mind and consciousness are inseparable from the brain, that we cease to exist in any conscious form when we die, and that it is therefore incumbent on us to enable each person to live their one life to the fullest.

I believe in the power of science and reason and rationality to further deepen our understanding of everything around us and to eventually overcome superstition and erase the petty divisions sown by religion, race, ethnicity, and nationality.

I am in awe of the beauty, vastness, and complexity of nature and the universe, and the fact that all arose purely by the working of natural laws.

I believe in the power of ideals such as peace and justice and shared humanity to inspire us to create a free and just world.

I believe in kindness, love, and the human spirit and their ability to overcome challenges and adversity and to create a better world.

I believe in the necessity for credible and objective evidence to sustain any belief and thus deny, because of the absence of such evidence, the existence of each and every aspect of the supernatural.

I refuse to bow, prostrate myself, or otherwise cower before the deities of any religion.

I am neither tempted by the fiction of heaven or any other form of eternal life nor fearful of the fiction of hell.

I choose to live the dignified and exhilarating life of a free-thinker, able to go wherever knowledge and curiosity takes me, without fear of contradicting any dogma.


I believe I like you, Trish. A lot.blushing laugh wave

Yes, why is it that most men send you nice little emails that just because you have a cute face they think that all you are interested in is but of course to jump in the sack the with them? And of course they are at least 10 to 15 years older than you are?? They don't even bother to think that you are intellligent? And most of the pics that we find are men just oogling their own bodies, thinking that it is what we want to see all the time?
I have tried many sites that cost money, including eharmony and let me inform you, they don't work either if the man lies on the application.... I asked for a man that wasn't completely jealous, I understand that jealousy is part of every person, but this guy ended up beating the crap out of me because of it.... it was horrible. I have tried other sites too, all costing money, and yet, the men are all the same, wanting to get a piece... might as well go to the bar, at least you get free drinks!


I hear this kind of claim all the time here, but I strongly suspect it's always made for the same simple reason: your selective criteria isn't doing its job. That is, you're not asking the right questions and/or establishing the right standards for soliciting someone you actually want to be with. That's task number one in finding compatible people.

Sorry not able to look it up as I got to go to work just three hours only.


I know the quote, but don't see how it addresses the question, H.confused One could reply that we run that race precisely because we know we'll win something from it, not out of any other particular fealty to Christ or his teachings.

Thanks, H. My point is that we practice religion because we believe we're going to receive a benefit, not for any noble/altruistic reasons. You believe it is good to worship Christ because you will obtain eternal salvation from that. But what if Christ asked of us: "Do my good works out of love for me, and accept no reward, but rather eternal punishment as a token of your love for me." I don't see a lot of people being Christians under those circumstances.

In other words, it's not about being good or following Christ's preachings, per se, but rather about taking actions which will bring about a very desirable result.


In still other words...we practice Christianity not out of love for Christ, but rather out of love for ourselves, no?

How could I possibly give an answer to this.
Is is like asking the jurors in the OJ Simpson case, would they be able

Same here.
Now that I know, I am no longer able to be objective.
So the answer to your question is No.
