atheism only exist because God doesn't ...it is a label thrusted upon those that are not religious by those that are religious...that's why it's not a belief but a brand I disagree. It's human nature to want to know our origins and how we came to be. it's human nature to eat sleep take a dump and have sex ...knowing one's origins or seeking a God is something done in one's own spare time ...this is why Atheism is not a belief and why believing in a God is ... |

Even the secularists are desperately seeking the answers to the riddle of life via the sciences. It's human nature to want to understand our truest primal essence. Whether you want to call that 'god' or not is an entirely different matter. Many people prefer to simply call it 'spritiuality'. Those who call it 'accidentality' have yet to explain just what it was that begat the accident. how can a God that can't be proved to exist provide any answers to someone's origin...this is why spirituality is pantheism ..it's someone placing themselves onto the same level as God in order to provide an answer that will bring them contentment and then link it to an unprovable God |

Dancere....are you still ranting about me?....look let's just cut through all the red tape and get married and then I can turn on the television and tune you out ... Nah, I was just makin' the age olde mistake of 'throwin' pearls before swine', always a misguided exercise in futility ... What was I thinking!? ... ... Reminds me of the olde sayin' "all ya get out of a pig is a grunt"... ... Woah, don't think I've ever encountered anything as blatantly male chauvinistic, and I'm from Texas; that is a tricky, new low you've achieved ... So, you seriously view threads as a good ole boys only room!? Good heads up warning, if grossly in error, good luck w/ that ... Something must have really happened to you to feel entitled to be so rude and dismissive to the opposite gender, your loss ... Oh! That'd be a h!ll no on the proposal ... ... I don't marry period: men, toys, parrots ... and esp. not YOU! |

Deep thoughts by Jack Handy -
If 'God' dwells inside us, like some people say, I sure hope 'He' likes enchiladas, because that's what 'He's' getting! You say potato and I say tomato ... I mean patato? |

If God was standing in front of you would you know? Of course I would, I'd be staring at a mirror.

Nah, I was just makin' the age olde mistake of 'throwin' pearls before swine', always a misguided exercise in futility ... well actually you were making the age old mistake of trying to play God and control what people say and/or how they post it ....those with holier-than-thou attitudes such as yourself generally have to be reminded that this forum have moderators and that it is their job to regulate what is posted in the thread and not your job .... if you feel that your values are super superior to that of the mingle2 moderators and that they are doing such a lousy job that don't meet with your Christian standards then complain to the website owners instead of constantly whining about me in the threads ..until then try and debate about the topic and not about the poster BEHOLD POSTERS ...for I have not come to change the laws of the mingle2 moderators but have come to full-fill them ...you can follow their rules but your posts will not be righteous except through me ..for I AM Dancere Christ...your lord and Moderator |

Wux is a ta-mah-toe
who speaks in pizzicato with a stuttering staccato and rhythmical vibrato He’s like a sweet poe-tay-toe who thinks as deep as Plato and ponders that the universe is built from bits of lego He thinks the world is cuckoo and the thoughts of men are poo-poo and when he hasn’t much to do he plays with dolls of voodoo He’s bored with life’s abyss and think it’s all amiss with a god who plays his hide-and-seek to make us guess if he exists |

... ... Still talking to yourself about yourself by other names? I figure acting like you would make you feel more comfortable Because, it is transparent that you still haven't read, understood, nor replied to my posts' content ... I did...remember I said that you were constantly whining This is a full-on commentary of YOUR concepts, YOUR posts, YOUR style ... commentary?... is that a metaphor for nagging And? Mingle mods are the very BEST - bar none! but it appears that you have the need to make them better Moderation has nothing to do w/ my posts' content, purpose or meaning ... moderation does play a part...next time perhaps you should take the recommended doses prescribed on the container ... Reading my posts, discerning them and responding to them does - as does common respect and courtesy! I did show respect...every word I used is Vatican approved Clearly, that's not gonna happen ... A discussion w/ you proved to be impossible ...
well that's clearly a results of your lack of debating skills I still would that you find love and peace ... well knowing that I provide you will an outlet to vent your frustrations should bring some peace to both parties |

Thank you. The verses were good. Two corrections, if I may: "is built from bits of ego" and "he plays with his woody rod. Oy." |

K - Funches, what evah floats your boat, do go well ...
Maybe in person I'd better understand you ... Or not ... |

ah yes...what are the boundaries of a limitless god? i knew you would "enjoy" panentheism vs. pantheism! i agree that i always viewed them as identical concepts as i see the spiritual or incorporeal as part of Nature... how could it be otherwise? so, i don't believe in the super-natural - not because i don't believe in wild spiritual things which i have never experienced - but because i think they are natural - a part of Nature. i don't make a distinction. it is just like that in the Wiki. I like this way of thinking...thanks for mentioning it, more points to ponder. |

... By my deeply personal, unspeakable definition ... 'God' has always been standing beside me, cradling me and sometimes draggin' me along the Obstacle Course of Life since the beginning that has no beginning, has no end ... |

... By my deeply personal, unspeakable definition ... 'God' has always been standing beside me, cradling me and sometimes draggin' me along the Obstacle Course of Life since the beginning that has no beginning, has no end ... Faith is a beautiful thing. It is nice to have. For a person to know that he or she is enjoying God's grace is uplifting and exhilarating. Just like love. But it's stupid. Why are all the nice, beautiful, and lovely things in this world all sooo very stupid? I don't like that. Like the lilies, and the birds. Are they smart? No they are not. Are they stupid? Yes, they are. Yet they, and cute puppies and young kittens are all much-much lovelier than a 60-year-old retired, old and grumpy, flat-footed gumshoe of a calculus teacher. |
