We all began claiming stuff, me, St. Louis, and Chuck-a-Luck pulled knives on the boss. Chicago was scarier without a knife than the rest of us with knives.
The boss tried to threaten us with a 45 he claimed to have in his pocket.
Flash said, Your pockets not big enough for a 45, and we moved in on him.
He said, He had to make a phone call; and we told him that would be a good idea.
He told us his partner would bring our money right away, and we went on a beer break.
I met those guys while I was living on the streets; because I quit working for my Dad.
Personally. I believe it's not possible for our solar system to orbit the Milky Way galaxy, without the sun going around the earth and the earth going around the sun.
American dollars are glorified toilet paper, with God knows how many tons of gold to give them real value, because of the national debt.
In order to get other nations to trade in US dollars, they need to give them away for free; because once you give a nation what you claim is a billion dollars in toilet paper for their purchases, it's not in their immediate interests to point out they're worthless, and worth less by the second.
Besides, giving Israel 8 billion dollars, to buy 8 billion dollars worth of American weapons, is really only giving our tax dollars to arms dealers, and members of the military industrial complex.
the Hindu or Buddhist doctrine that a person may be reborn successively into one of five classes of living beings (god or human or animal or hungry ghost or denizen of Hell) depending on the person's own actions

Two pieces of commonly taught but unproven dogma are the belief that the sun orbits the earth, and the belief that the earth orbits the sun.
The Bible tells us the sun orbits heaven, not the earth...
Psalms 19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
Astronomers now teach that the sun orbits heaven too...
How long to orbit Milky Way’s center? By EarthSky in ASTRONOMY ESSENTIALS | SPACE | November 28, 2016 One journey of our sun and planets around the center of our Milky Way galaxy is sometimes called a cosmic year. That’s approximately 225-250 million Earth-years.
Einstein taught us that even our perception of movement is relative.
One example I saw used to make this point was a line of buses parked side by side; and if you're in one of those buses when another bus moves... it's hard to tell which bus is moving.
The theory that the earth orbits the sun has never been proven.
Mahalo nui Rob, I agree with much of what you say.
I've floated bodiless through a realty of colors, and seen my bones turn to dust, the earth dissolve and turn to sky. I've spent an eternity in a sky blue realty without a body, with no space, time or distance.
I've been places and seen things that quantum physicists are just now discovering, long before mainstream scientists began to explore them.
For example... the 'holographic universe theory" and the "double slit experiment."
When you consider the implications of the double slit experiment it's really hard to accept claims, or prove we live in an objective reality.
Compound that with the fact that the reality we experience as real, is perceived by the same mind that dreams we fly around, and an ego that tries to convince us that we are God or don't need God, and/or that we exist in physical bodies... and,
Thank you for dialing back your position; and allowing this conversation to go forward without allowing the duality of our egos to hinder it.
I only ask people who claim there is no creator God to prove it, to show that we're on equal ground, and neither of us can prove our positions: not because I expect proof.
But because, I believe that if everybody realized they can't prove their religious or non-religious beliefs are correct, our world would be a better place.
I appreciate your input on this topic; and since my Dad was also a student of the Dahli Lama, I'm comfortable discussing this subject with you.
My Dad taught philosophy at USC, had gurus, and became a guru. I grew up hearing debates against God; but in the last 2 months of his life (colon cancer), he only wanted to be a good Christian.
So if you don't mind, I'd like to ask you about your thoughts on reincarnation...
