A person tried to take the purse of a politician wife and the secret service got the purse snatcher in Washington, today. Would you call that uncertainty?
This reminds of if the refrigerator light is on when you close the door. The switch on the door turns the light off and when you open the door the light comes on. One might think that the circuit is completed but actually the opposite happens. The switch makes the difference.
Shouldn't that apply to courtrooms, too, James? I mean you already have the innocent until proven guilty clause for the states. We don't how a person will do until they have done their term in office. Don't we judge someone on their past behaviors?
Thanks, Plarkin. I think we all can have differences of opinion. Whenever I think of how radical opinions can cause civil unrest I keep seeing that scene from the, "Planets of the Apes" where they were worshipping the bomb as the great peacemaker. There were the apes who were smarter than some of the humans because of the evolution after the great holocausts. Charlton Heston is thrown into the future and sees the statue of liberty buried up to its head. Then I believe it was George Orwell's voice talking about what once was a great planet as the planet is blown up by the last remaining intellectual humans with the great minds. I don't think total annilation is the answer.
We can make decisions based hunger, anger, lonliness and on being tired. I think the rational thread is a good thread. What do we base our decisions on? Are we truly counting the cost and thinking the situation through to the worst scenario? Are we being realistic in our thinking?
I still love my ex but have irreconcilable differences. I married her once and it didn't work. I married her twice and it didn't work. I began to see a pattern emerging. That is just how I view it. It is understandable that you still have feelings for your first wife. Don't dismiss it. But after all has been said and done is it a valid choice? The other one you mention has found someone else. That speaks for itself.
(Koran 5:46)“We sent Jesus, son of Maryam (Mary), confirming the Torah that had come before him, and We gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light and confirmation of the Torah that had come before it.”
(Koran 29:46) And dispute ye not With the People of the Book Except with means better than mere disputation unless it be with those of them who inflict wrong and injury. Say: ‘We believe in that which is revealed to us and which was revealed to you. Our God and your God is one. To him we surrender ourselves.’
(Koran 21:92) Your religion is but one religion, and I am but Your only Lord. Therefore serve Me. Men have divided themselves into factions, but to Us they shall return
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are all variations of the same religion. All believe in the same One God, Genesis, and that Adam was the first man. All have nearly the same line of prophets, including Abraham, Moses, and Noah, but the difference is Islam believes Jesus Christ (pbuh) and Muhammad (pbuh) are the last two prophets of God. In the Old Testament, New Testament, and the Final Testament - the Koran, the first commandment is “worship no gods but God, and equate no statues, idols or pictures with God.” “Islam” is derived from the Arabic root word which means peace and submission, much like Prophet Jesus' call to peace and submissiveness. There are 99 names in Arabic for the One God, with “Allah” (Al-One & llah-God) being the most common. “Allah” is also the name Arab Christians have for God from pre-Islamic times up till today, and is the name for God used in the Arab Bible. The word “Alah,” is the Aramaic word (language spoken by Jesus Christ) for God, and the related “Eloh” is the Hebrew word for God, in addition to the Heberw YHVH.
If the Koran strenthens their resolve or adds to the seriousness of how they veiw their oath of office I think it would be better. If the Bible is less revelant to them than the Koran then it would be meaningless for them to swear or affirm on. I think the main thing the American on the street wants is someone they can believe in. It is their affirmation that is in question and not their religious affiliation. The belief should be about believing in them as a person who has a strong conviction no matter what that belief is based on.
In the Child Psychology course I took the child was portrayed as a natural scientist in the way the child sees its universe. By it trying to stick everything in its mouth was its way of perceiving its environment. A child having a lot of things to interact with helps its rational process. Just a plain ball gives a child a lot to wonder about. Like when a child gets a present and wants to play with the box and the parent has to take what is in the box out so that the child will notice it. The interaction with the child has an effect on the child's perception.
