  Three Questions re: Results of Our Beliefs

  by Frannie Banannie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  gotta go to work soon.....but i've been mulling this one over and can't come to any logical conclusion(s) on my own, so i'm asking for yall's thoughts on the subject..... .

  to begin with, from years ago, i've seen several persons talk about the probability of an illness or a possible catastrophe befalling them....only to seemingly "talk themselves into" being actually ill or the catastrophe actually befalling them.....i've also observed people, who are avid church-goers and bible readers, have "spiritual" experiences which actually validate their beliefs.....and i've read psychological info which proposes in so many words that things can occur in a person's life according to what they believe will occur.....that positive thoughts and actions attract positive outcomes and, likewise, negative thoughts and actions attract negative outcomes.....i have also had the experience from being in the borg and studying so much bible knowledge that it became too real and that what bible writers had written began to take affect in my own life for a while......but i also now see the obvious faults in what was written in the bible.....also, people who believe in buddha, voodoo or any other faith/practice seem to see the results come true for them as they are taught to believe the results will come...... .

  so.....i'm wondering.....1. could it be probable that a person could contrive and believe and act on just about anything and see results according to what they have contrived to be true, acted on and believe?

  The Scriptures

  by KGB in

  the scriptures are some of the oldest books in the world known to man with dates included now how do you suppose that can be, that these books have survived this long, many thousands of years ?

  hmmmmmm i don't see any other book on the shelf as long as this book not even any other history book as far as that goes, now i wonder why a book that supposedly is nothing more than a lie or uninspired as some of you put it would survive that long.

  i wonder how christianity has lasted as long as it has if it is all just a lie.

  KGB, I cannot accept that a supreme deity alleged to have created the human race and to be concerned for its welfare would inspire men to be judgMENTAL towards one another over nationality, wearing apparel, what they eat, when they work or do not work, or any other frivolous things that the scriptures inspire.

  Jackie, I read alla time....but I definitely feel repulsed by anything that smacks of religious overtones or undertones and will skip over it when reading chillers, thrillers and suspense fiction....It seems from what you've told me about the Auel writings (I haven't read 'em yet) that it is implied that people developed and use religion and its paraphernalia (fear, basically) to subjugate others for their own agenda.....that's repulsive....but prolly true from what I've seen and experienced, not just in dubdom.....

  The only way I seem to be somewhat comfortable or at ease with a belief in God and/or His son is by accepting their reality in a personal way, having nothing to do with churches and doctrines and laws or commandments.....but rather as simply personal relationships in my life....and adding to that a growing knowledge of how the earth and all it contains makes a connection with that relationship....and I'm only coming to this conclusion as I write to you....I'm revealing my own thoughts and growing convictions to myself, as well....I can't undo what I've been taught all my life, short of getting a lobotomy....so I hafta go with what I know....and they DO appear to impress themselves and their existence on me from time to time, as kind, friendly, caring, giving, understanding and able to get their point across without a lot of words......but it'd probably be better not to go "down that road" here.....

  I really appreciate your response, Jackie....because, I've felt such an upheaval in the last 11 yrs. since I DF'd where my beliefs are concerned, it's affected my life and also how I deal with people and situations.....and I've needed reassurance to know that it's alright to have my own "brand" of beliefs, testing the scriptures out to see which hold true and which are false......and I've found that reassurance in your response to this post and in others' responses and posts here on the forum.....Surely, one might say, I shouldn't need the reassurance by other humans that I'm on the right spiritual path for myself....and I agree, in part....but it's the humanity in me that requires it....

  Thanks,

  Thermodynamics of Hell.....Mid-term Exam Answer

  by Frannie Banannie in

  2. friends

  subject: thermodynamics of hell.

  the following is an actual question given on a university of washington chemistry mid term.

  the answer by one student was "so profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.. bonus question: is hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?.
