Whatever gives you peace in this life is well worth pursuing and is of value. There are those on here who despise this idea. They will criticise and condemn. But they are truly miserable and should be pitied rather than debated. Good luck to you with all and keep to your faith.
I love the story of Noah in the old testament. Noah has sinned and felt that God in his anger was going to slay him. God shows up and Noah starts to dance. God says,"Noah what doest thou doist?" Noah replies while continuing to dance says,"I am dancing Lord". God replies,"Why doest thou dance Noah?" Noah answers, "You are going to kill me lord because I have sinned. So if I'm to die then I wish to die dancing".
God begins to laugh and says, "Oh Noah but thou do delight me, you are forgiven!"
Does this story not prove that God does not know what we are going to do? If we did not have free will and were preprogrammed robots, then what would be the point for God? How could we ever inspire and please him?
I would definitely be a Viking because I have no fear of death, I am quite a large man and fairly strong. I like the freedom that they had. It was an honest way...they simply took what they needed from others. The men were very male and natural unlike the males of today, who are afraid to assert themselves.
I don't take drugs or even drink.(don't I sound boring?) But I believe some people start taking drugs after reading some of these blogs so they can cope!
Socrates, ponder on this: God could not have been created. For if he was then whatever created him would be the creator. Therefore he had no beginning and has been forever. Can your mind contemplate that? Can you grasp the concept of forever? Like the ant looking up at the university professor looking down at him, the ant cannot understand the professors mind. Accept rather than attempt to comprehend, as not doing so is a waste of your time on this earth. Why feed the mind while all the while starving the spirit?
You are thinking as heaven in relation to physics when you ought to be thinking in spiritual terms. I cannot make you understand. You are a cynic and have borders and perimeters around your mind. There is no "where" as to heaven.
Heaven isn't a place or a location that you can find with a GPS. The creator invites those who are worthy to join him as one. This produces a state of eternal euphoria.
Alok, so according to you Pont can label some of us as "fools" but we should not return the favor? I am not a Christian so do not know how to turn the other cheek.
By the way did Jesus turn the other cheek when he whipped the money changers out of the temple in Jerusalem?
Pont, I've read some of your posts/comments on here. You are an uneducated, unsophisticated illiterate. You have the mindset of a petulant child. The world is full of cud chewing ignorant cows like you. The most pathetic kind of a fool is a fool who fails to realise that he's a fool.
If your feelings are easily hurt because you think people are mean, then perhaps the internet is not for you. Perhaps you can try the real world. Careful though, it's even worse.
So, Mr.Catfoot you are solidly against the legalization of marijuana. This does not surprise me one iota as I do believe I've got you all figured out. I suppose you also objected to the dismantling of apartheid too huh?
WHT, just be yourself and don't worry abut anything. If it's going to work out, then she has to accept you for who you are and how you live. Good luck with all.
I find it astonishing that some people only see a red and blue macaw when they look at this image. Perhaps that lack either imagination or a appreciation of aesthetics pertaining to art.
These blogs can be viewed as an accurate barometer of society in general. Everywhere you go people disagree and quarrel, it is simple human nature. (I am right, therefore you are wrong by default) Even nations can't get along that's why we have militaries. And we also have police, courts and prisons. You may as well accept the fact that we are an aggressive species as are all primates. I'm afraid that peace on the blogs is an elusive dream.
The chances that her or anyone associated with her read your blog are slim. I believe her amending her behavior is more than likely due to either someone asking her to desist, or disgusted looks by some of her co workers.
Cat, the way you are getting beaten up on here, and doubtless will continue to get beaten by future female posters. You may very well need that pillow I was referring to.....to hide behind!
This actually happened to you didn't it? Then you woke up and realised that the woman you had picked up last night and lying besides you...was merely your pillow. Better luck next time sailor!
@alokkumar01, well said and I agree. We can have differences of opinions on here but we ought to keep it civil and respectful. You are a true gentleman and I'm glad that you spoke up.
