  How big is your Ecological Footprint??...

  by Frog in

  since i have a little too much time up my sleave at present i thought id start a thread on a subject thats dear to my froggy heart.

  for starters, here are a couple of links to on-line ecological footprint calculators that only take a couple of minutes to punch in basic data to get back a rough environmental impact assessment on how sustainable your lifestyle is.

  sustainability requires decent and equitable living within the means of nature.

  You sense bitterness and hate?.....LOL.
  
  Your senses are pretty off then. But I guess given your posts of cheap platitudes and empty, cock sure phrasiology, you've deluded yourself into thinking that we all must be bitter because we don't accept your worldview. So be it. But by your responses you have proved my initial summation of you. And sweet pea.....what happens when you find out Jesus isn't real? What happens when you find out that the Buddhists had it right all along? What happens then? Where will your false god be then? Is he in the privvy? I've come to grips with my mortality. Have you?
  
  You saw the post on "holier than thou" and you arrogantly thought you needed to preach here. Well thanks a ton. I feel better knowing Jesus loves me.
  
  By the way, please provide a link or article proving hell is real. I'd really be interested in the proof of this.

  Mouthy, Ok....well pray for them.
  
  Pray that I don't shake them like a newborn when trying to reason with them. LOL j/k
  
  I guess I just don't like fundamentalism of any color. Islamic fundamentalism, Christian fundamentalism, or Jewish fundamentalism. Of course....I've never heard of a Taoist or Buddhist fundamentalist.....hmmm.....go figure. LOL

  And cue the apologist......
  
  
  "If they aren't living in sin" - get off the cross someone needs the wood
  "Rebuked" the person - aka sticking their nose where it does not belong.
  "Humbly accepting the folly" - aka sucking it up and not raising waves
  "Give it over to Christ" - aka praying to Sky Papa to help you even though you don't deserve it you piece of crap....oh, and sticking a $10 spot in the contribution box at church
  "And no I'm not a .........." - aka I'm not Pentacoastal I'm the whack nut bible beater that REALLY has all the answers

  Of course we can disagree and still get along famously. We can both agree that we'll just mock the JW's instead. How 'bout that? LOL

  Mouthy....I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing that you didn't want to believe man's word, yet believe in God...therefore have to believe that the bible is at least the word of God. Either evolution or creation or whatever are all artificial constructs of the mind. The mind builds these constructs so as to "make sense" of the world and allow us to have our place in the world. We are imposing our beliefs onto the universe to make them true somehow.
  
  Just as Aztecs believed in their various gods. As did the American Indians. As did Romans and Greeks. With the perspective of looking back...their beliefs seem "quaint".
  
  I'm sure back then most of these folks felt the same way you do Mouthy. That their gods gave them "peace of mind" and "talked" to them, and "gave them comfort". But their belief in them did not make them any truer. Of course you could make the argument that since the humans gave their worship to a certain god or object...they did make them a god then. They wished it into being.
  
  You have chosen to be a Christian because it "makes the most sense to you". Yet if you were born in China you would probably be a Buddhist because "that would make the most sense to you", because you are surronded by Buddhists. You are the product of your enviroment and upbringing. About 80% of people end up the same religion as the one they were raised in. Why? Because it "makes the most sense" to them.
  
  If you were raised being taught the sky was red....you would look up and see that the sky was a magnificent shade of red. Religion is no different.
  
  I'm not making fun of you. My beliefs are just as artificial and silly as yours are. You can worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Jesus, Jehoba, or the Pink Unicorn. They will all look silly and quaint to future generations. So I apologize if my eastern religious slant offends you. It's not my intention. But if you cannot seriously stand back and look at how silly all the belief structures are in the world and understand that it is a construct of the mind...well then perhaps we'll just have to disagree.

  Does Evolution Tell Us to Take More Vitamin C?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here's one for you evolution/creation enthusiasts: vitamin c. most animals don't need vitamin c because they have the ability to make it in their livers.

  however, guinea pigs , chimps, gorillas, and .

  humans don't have this ability.
