"He was using that quote as an example of what NOT, NOT. NOT TO DO."


I do appreciate the effort, but I think it's best to just let it go at this point, as it seems the "high-functioning/multi-tasking" chip - is temporarily on the fritz. LOL

Then you must come see me in "Two-Bit Computer!"

Have a great time with lots of laughter…

I go into the audience after I turn in my mic, and would LUV to meet you's guys!

Disagree. Look at the universe we exist in. Stars exploding, galaxies colliding, solar systems being wiped out. Black holes sucking every thing withing its gravitational influence spiraling to oblivion. Plants getting life giving nutrition from the very rocks and earth. Animals killing and eating the plants. Other animals killing and eating animals. No, peace is not what the world was meant to be. Peace is simply our dream of what we would like it to be. Heaven on Earth!

To be honest, I think your thoughts are quite unique!

People seriously believe this????? I will never buy into that belief. Never did. Never will. I was a kid when I made up my mind not to believe in the fairy tales of the Christian faith that were being fed to me in Catholic catechism.

Just one example..........the "story" of the Virgin Mother was stolen from the Pagans. For crying out loud, the least the Christians could have done was make up their own story. When I got older and learned about the "facts of life", it only verified to me those fairy tales were just that........fairy tales.

I have said OUT LOUD several times, 'If God does exist, if there is a God, may God strike me dead right now, right where I stand at this moment in time". Guess what? I'm still here.

Thanks, and I am unique.

Come see my outrageous, outlandish side:

That is the point. Nobody REALLY knows. Inducement to act one way, threat of punishment if you don't do as I say. So much for "free" will.
As for reincarnation, I think the few examples of regression investigation that I am aware of remind me of watching Ancient Aliens. Entertaining curiosity, but not convincing any more than just saying "God made it".
Have you gone through regression? If so, who/what were you in a past life. Not teasing here. Would like to know.

To say the least. :1rotfl: :1rotfl:

Relish that point now, because...............

Ahh now this explains a lot.

I have noticed that those who believe in God do not belittle and make fun of others with a different view. Yup.

Reincarnation...for how long? Until we get it right? Then what?
I recall an older movie called defending your life. I liked it. That is all. Nothing more to say.

Friends I made in the SW taught me their beliefs; when we die, our spirit floats up into the sky where it is eaten by the great Eagle (God). We once again become one with the creator. I'm sure it went into greater detail but I was not myself (they had lots of rules for these discussions) at the moment. You need to prepare for the convos. Preperation makes you a bit loopy.

The beauty we create, the love we show others, the endless possibilities of our dreams; I do not deny the ugliness of man, but there is also great beauty and wonder.

The missing link is really thousands of missing links. Thousands of steps missing, with thousands, hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of examples of each step and not one found?

It is called the little death in french

I certainly hope you are being sarcastic. They not only make of fun of different religions, they ridicule, dismiss as foolishness and threaten with Eternity In HELL.
Hah! Such fun!

I hope that when you die, you get logged off of TOTV

I think it takes a supernatural mind to fully understand the existence of God. Even the brilliant Einstein declared himself an agnostic. He felt his imperfect human mind could not conclusively know there is no grand designer. He felt the factor of God was too vast for our limited minds.

I had an instance occur in my life in my mid-agnostic twenties that turned my life and heart instantly. Thank you, God!

You will finally get your 72 virgins...It sounds like a lot of work :)

Same with me. After searching to find IF there was a God, or several, or nothing or… doing nothing else (also in my twenties) I found my answer. Blood, sweat and tears… I put everything I had, everything I was, to find it.

I really don't know but when I do die, I am going to punch Zeus right in the nose.

The origin of existence is unknown. A Creator appears from nothingness is just irrational...Who created the Creator? ...And from what? The prime scientific axiom is "Existence exists".

Even 'certifiable!'

See the problem is with “who” is the Creator, the question should more likely be “what” is the Creator? Nothing is possible, given the separation of matter and anti matter. I agree that we don’t know exactly the origin of existence. And “rational” refers to human reason, so we understand only what that allows. Nothing beyond it.

Is it "threaten" or are they WARNING you? I have never threatened anybody with Hell, but I have quoted the Bible in regards to the punishment for sin. I sincerely hope that is not offensive or threatening, when some of us are not joyful that others may suffer. Most Christian believers wish only for our fellow man and women's salvation from punishment. If we wished folks ill will, we would simply keep the promise of salvation a secret. Yes, some believers have/do "make fun, ridicule and dismiss as foolishness other religions. It's wrong to do so, but it is human nature isn't it? That's not an excuse.
I have found that in the Villages there are many, many more believers than non-believers. Perhaps, some are hedging their bet when it comes to being so close to their expiration date? What have they got to lose by accepting the promise of eternal life? I have also found several on here that make fun of believers and call GOD a myth. My sympathy goes out them, because that may be like accelerating a car toward the cliff.
The subject of this thread is in regards to what we think happens to us when we die. Perhaps a better question would be "what do you WANT to happen to you when you die?" Then, think about whether or not anyone has given you any reason to believe that this will happen to you. If you want [fill in the blank] to happen to you, how do you think that you will accomplish that? If someone promises you something, what do you have to do to get that result?
No use arguing over who is right. The question is "what do think happens when you die?"

One of my favorite quotes is……

“Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.”
— Albert Einstein

Yes and sorry to the 1st part. And to the 2nd........I have made my decision, I can live with it, or die........no worries mate!

I tried my best. Sort of like "one small step for man".

It is spelled you'se and I hope that it is an enjoyable time and I can appreciate acting or comedy talent.....break a leg!

That made no sense to me?

Fade to black! End of existence! End

I'm a dreamtime clairvoyant so I've had experiences with some spirits good and bad. There really are spirits. I'd still like to know for sure if there are beings from other planets though.

Probably but alien intelligent life would probably avoid us as much as possible given the violence of the past 2000 years or so. They would keep eyes and ears on us. If and when we become a threat then they would make their presence better known.
