By past I assume you're referring to a hypothetical past life? Surely you remmeber your childhood well enough.
I'm sorry. Life has no meaning because of politics?
Um, no. Theistic Evolution brings the best of both worlds from either side. If anything it has the potential to make the most sense out of any viewpoint on this matter.
Gather 'round children it's story time. So like Mary was all up in her house praying and **** and then this angel came down ans was all like "God wants you as his baby momma" and Mary was all like "no prob bob". So then Mary was all prego and her sugar daddy Joseph was all like "why'd God tap that and not me?". He stayed around and dragged Mary with him to pay taxes. Because they didn't make a reservation in advanced the holidays forced Mary's delivery into a barn with animals and other **** like that where she shot the watermelon through the lemon hole to get Jesus. Also these three guys were following a star that some how led them to baby Jesus and they gave him money and cologne. On their way back to their home land another angel appeared to them and was all like "Herod is a punk *** ***** don't trust him, so take a new route home". That way Herod was unable to find Jesus and use is supple baby flesh for food, etc. Then that angel taxied over to some people watching sheep. They were tired and were sleeping when the angle busted in and was all like "come see this baby, he'll like walk on water and be made of bread and wine in then future". With nothing better to do they woke up and bused on over to the stable to see Jesus. Everyone was happy, especially Jesus. The End.
A clown suit, 20 beautiful Malaysian prostitutes, and a bottle of K-Y. Best. Holiday. Ever.
........... So this one time I was standing in line with my brother. We were waiting to use the phone booth, and the guy in it was like taking forever. And finally me and my bro were all like "hey we need to use the phone, do you mind?". So the guy turns around and tips his hat. And you'll never guess who it was....Emilio Estevez! And I was all like EMILIO!!!!!!!!!11111shift+1shift+oneshiftplusone
Careful now. Evolution is still a theory, which by definition remains an inference to the best possible explanation. Just because we can acquire evidence to reject the possibility of a creator it doesn't mean that we can refute it. We can reject that there are no such things as rainbow coloured goats but we can't prove it. @ {vindicated}: there is merit in calling faith an illusion. Any form of it is really a dressing to an actual way of life that simply promotes the betterment of humankind. in most cases the mythos surrounding the message results in it being misconstrued. You yourself are constantly referring to "god's path", but what makes makes it "god's path" to begin with? You've simply associated the way of life that most modern faiths preach at their very core with the notion of a big guy in the sky that's watching down on you. Again it's not about knowing the who's behind it all, it's about knowing the general message. Knowledge about the former does nothing for you.
Well, with reincarnation it is the collective knowledges of your lives that essentially leads to the end of Samsara. Like any other religious mythos any loop hole is fixed with a simple and vague explanation. In this case, having little need for the experiences of our former lives in our now present ones we simply shed the information of the past. Ridiculous, I know. Because it would make much more sense if enlightenment was a constant journey as opposed to an accidental sum. However, this coming from the Buddhist standpoint, whatever form you are to take in the next life the same actions are more often than not emphasized; those that are reincarnated simply continue on to live and let live.
It's okay to worship me in secret. I understand.
There's nothing wrong with trying to plan your life out. I have mine mapped out to what I hope to achieve. It's just a question like what this thread proposes isn't exactly something I prefer to discuss with the women I date. It freaks me out when they bring stuff like this up with me.
Yeah. Although the necro post does actually add to the topic, who goes out of their way to dig for this?
Oh thank god. I thought it was closed on account of the vast number of poops I took in the deep end.
...What a surprise, another Lugia riding in a sleigh.
Fire Emblem makes you think long and hard.
I've always wanted to get into it after watching some of the later episodes. Shame they took it off the air. I should get the seasons.
....Cross number 11 off your life list?
They've only just become worthy of the notion of being fertile. How would they have AIDS if they've been out looking for each other and not doing the nasty. For that matter, how does one's imagination even fail to fill in that plot hole. I frown.
....I don't get it.
