scousedon: Well I have yet to witness this diversity, let him show his religious tolerance, his compassion, his turning of the other cheek, all I see is vitriol from him. See, I can get away with the above because I am not preaching a pure mind, body or soul.

seveneyes: but anyway scous. I think that I am gifted in discernment. I see you also as a unique spirit and an individual meaning good to those around him. That is why you and I have buried the hatchet so to speak. I think we genuinely like eachother reguardless of differing views. This is good. I venture to think that it will be the same with bay and yourself once the lines have been fully drawn.

And to show my unholy conviction of live and let live, I will live my sad life like a hedonist and be damned, you can do the same and have eternal happiness, until then.
bay163: Ps to you, any woman who wants respect needs to show some, you got a problem with that WOMAN (as in the garden of eden)
I love children and animals! will help someone in need and hell hath no fury (pun only) if I see the small and helpless being abused. That is my nature and I live by that.In no way am I a hypocrite.
Anyway there are no winners in this empty war of words. As long as we can all be Brave Kind and Loving to the best of out abilities what is better than that.
its cool how even hedonistic views change over time after recieving the consequences of actions. All things will eventually capitulate to Gods view and power!

what is better than that is doing just what you have said, and having a relationship with him who created and loves us.
Hope you get to that place!
All my love (for you are a woman and I love you), Mike
brandycuba: I have found that there are very few people who believe in God or Jesus on this site, can someone tell me what their reasoning is? Why don't you believe in God, Jesus?
Honestly, never gave it much thought. Whether I beleive in God or not isn't going to change who I am. I like to help charities, try to be a good person and not hold grudges. I don't need to pray to God to forgive me for my sins, I need to forgive myself and just learn not to make the same mistakes.

Hi,
I can obviously only speak for myself. I am Irish.Born and raised in a strong Catholic faith. As a child I was a big believer in Jesus, but back then I had no reason not to be. I believed what my parents told me, just like Santa Claus or The Tooth Fairy. I no reason to question them. However as I grew up and learned about science, logic and reason, I began to question my own faith and faith in general. I studies Theology & Philosophy at Trinity College, Dublin.
I discovered things there, which for some reason were not common knowledge. Obviously kept hidden from the masses by the main churches.. Christian,Jewish & Muslim.
I learned about 'Gods' thaat pre-dated the God of Abraham, (also the Christian & Muslim God) by thousands of years. For instance,the Egyptian God - Horus. He was born of a virgin on December 25th, Began his ministry at age 30, had 12 desciples, died by crucifiction and rose from the dead after 3 days. Sound familiar? That was 3000 B.C
A lot of early gods share these attributes; Mythra, the Roman God, Krisna,the Hindu God... I could go on. I discovered that all of these stories were just ways for early man to explain the movements of the Sun and the Stars.
For instance - On December 25th, the sun rises in the constelation 'Virgo' (Born of a Virgin) On that day the che configeration is followed by the 3 stars the southern cross of of Orions belt (Followed by 3 Kings) on December 22nd, the shortest day of the year, the sun stops moving to the naked eye until December 25th. (the son died on the cross and rose again after 3 days)
There are plenty of books on these and other subjects, if you want to find out more. Obviosly Evolution has a big part to play in peoples loss of faith. If you cannot believe in the 1st book of the Bible, how are you expected to believe in the rest?
