If there were gods our life had been a damn good thriller, instead of the cave-man life we live today. It has to be said. We had all had our own super-powers-if there was a god. Instead we pretend to be as gods by watching movies about super powers, lost worlds, and science fictions. Fantasy. Well we are just people. Playing our role of our own body & DNA. Well, my 2 cents.

Smart people wrote the Bible to mislead. Why is the Bible read? And not blue like heaven is blue? Red is seen as Hell (flames). God is action. To read the Bible is to put up with less. Edited by Incision on 09/11/09 - 08:38 AM. Reason: illiteracy

"Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything." - Kurt Vonnegut (Cat's Cradle) It's a good enough start. Oh.. and yet again this quote was at the bottom of the page.
"...There was a writer who asked why it was that when we find positive experiences we say that only the physical facts are real, but in negative experiences we believe that reality is subjective. He made an example of those who say that in birth only the pain is real, the joy a subjective point of view, but that in death it is the emotional loss that is the reality." - Tony Ballantyne, Recursion. _____________________________________________ Truth is want. - The internal state of matters. Truth is Need. - The external state of affairs.

My 2 cents. At which point does mere coincidence become 'what we do every day'? Say - if for the last week, the random quotes section pops up relevant material for what somebody else states... at what point does it become a repeatable observable phenomenon?

Action is the best cure for it. What I mean with moving on is develop, our strengths, find new hobbies. Keep life excited. Nothing kills our soul faster than repeating the same patterns, day after day. Well see- I actually believe in a "soul" but no god. Well lets, call our soul= Just Fire. Add new friendships in to life. Do not stick with the same old worn out people doing the same old things. Mix it up

More like 6 if you only assume 2 variables for both maturity and laughter. Unfortunately my strength is analysis. Analyzing is in itself an action, no? I differ from the scientific method aspect in that I don't throw away the concept of personification. I don't see how I can come to an understanding if I throw most conclusions away. In other words, if somebody knocks an apple from a tree, then the person's action is generally not accepted as accurate information for why the apple fell from the tree.

In other words we cannot claim that the 'why' of something happening doesn't exist if we merely know the process by which the action takes place. Gravity does not invalidate the fact that something was thrown, for instance. PS: This is also about as far as I have seen this type of discussion go to. I hope it goes further.

Well the "poorest" we o is to speak of "something" we do not fully grasp and leave important details out. That's when our minds become a mess.
