Reply to Chia Obama not embraced by Walgreens in Current Events Stardock Forums

I remember reading about this. :shakes head: Society...it's messed up. I guess Obama will have to do something about that. Ohh, how about: Ch-Ch-Ch-Change! [quote]I think this is taking things too far. Obama has not created union, he has created fear. This is a shame.[/quote] Woah, talk about a total jump in logic. I wouldn't say Obama has, so much as society has. We've all fallen for it; you, me, joe down the street. Obama is just another part o

[quote]Not necessarily...atheistic Jews don't believe in God...isn't that what Einstein was? And furthermore, a Jew need believe nothing to be a Jew...and there are some Jews who are Protestant ministers and Catholic priests.[/quote] I think someone is in muddy waters with this. Einstein was, by ethincity and birth, a Jew. However, like any individual he changed his religious beliefs over time. So, technically he was Jewish, but yet he was not Jewish. Get wha

[quote]Alderic, What facts are those?[/quote] That Flew isn't a Christian, because Christianity is a theistic religion - and he has stated that he would, in all cases, likely, possibly, be a deist. Which is based out of reason and logic - not faith. However, he's stated before that in all cases he is more likely to believe that this God, for want of a term - is nothing more than a force, like gravity. (the "like gravity" is my interpretation of his words) He's also stated t

[quote]He also looks at Albert Einstein’s views on God, arguing that Einstein was clearly a believer in God (contrary to the claims of atheists like Dawkins).[/quote] Uh, Einstein was most definitely not a Christian; he said once that Jesus was a myth - clearly not a believer in God. Likewise, he wasn't an atheist either. I would venture a guess that he was agnostic, and primarily concerned with science. Also, you're misrepresenting the facts lula. Flew st

[quote who="kingbee" reply="12" id="2131069"] Kingbee, I think you deserve some points for this; it's some decent humour. it started out damn near indecent--and way funnier, in my opinion--but i wasn't willing to risk an x-rating for the sorta lukewarm eroticism to which all of us, as well as all of them, would fully stipulate.[/quote] Yeah, I'm not one for full blown x rated humor; it's just not my cup of tea. ~Alderic </p

I don't know why I didn't suggest the link before, but it might help explain where I stand. My "belief," so to speak - would be along the lines of this: http://atheism.about.com/library/FAQs/religion/blrel_theism_ideal.htm Though not that the values take the place of a God, there's the absence of a higher power as well as worship.

Sometimes tho, its just a matter of a Christian making a very bad mistake by reacting in the flesh instead of the spirit

[quote]ok, this makes sense. Now I get you. Have talked with many Buddhists over the years. Good luck with that. While it may make you feel better it's not going to give you the peace of mind and the promises about the eternal like Christ can. But you do have faith. It's just not in creator God. You have replaced it with faith in yourself. Don't kid yourself. In the end tho, do you think faith in yourself has what it takes to stand the test of time?[/quote] It give

Also... Why is it that some Christians (as well as those of other faiths) just don't live and let live? I realize you're passionate about things, but sometimes...isn't silence the wiser path? “ In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in an clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth. &rdqu

I would actually invest the money. For example, one of my dreams/goals is to start a film production company, as well as a music production company. I would likely put the money to use in those areas, as well as help my family out with finances and such.I would also love to build a completely off the grid house that runs completely on renewable energy, as well as made with recycled materials. i.e. a true green house.
