I'm also with brunnhilde on the matter ... A relation in a marriage is something, the different kinds of relationship you can have with anyone is something else (always related to feelings) but the kind of feeling do change sometimes, it's still love but a different kind (I mean there is a reason why we do love some people at first - and most of the time those reasons stands)
Never been married but I still have a good relationship with a very few of my ex (weither our love affaire went crazy or just end up for any reason like not ready, not compatible in the matter, not having the same expectation in life ...) they actually became very good friends and it feels good to know that it's possible and that you can hold a new kind of relationship it's just another kind of way to love and to be loved. Very often with way more understanding (whatever screw up the love affaire).
Who knows (if he comes to understands you, and that you can understand him) then you haven't really lost him as a potential good friend and can keep a good relationship with the entire familly.
wish you the best.

I REALLY DON'T CARE...............................

by Warlock in

i believe in god, but i also realize he may not exist.. if you don't believe in god, i really don't care, i'm just curious.. i don't have this need to start threads like "why you must believe in god", or other such nonsense, but some of you still have this "control" issue that you thought you left in the org.

it seems like you must still try to control what others think.

"think like me, or you are an idiot.

Was curious ... OY OY OY ... you guy's (you are not the only one) :
Congrats yourself ... ()
you want the other cheek (you've got it - nothing painfull here) I don't think I need to explain my point of view over and over again (like in the thread you've mentionned ... means in the same thread just to debunck fallacies (it's getting more and more tiring) And I'm confident in peoples intelligence to get the point about the fallacies.
The thing is that anyway I don't need to win ...
Now just for you to know what you are talking about, I think that you need a reminder about was is fallacy all about :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies (with examples)
it includes direct and indirect personal attacks (and the reason why I've reacted to your poste is about you used the IQ argurment - powerfull word - to prove nuts)
Read the link - very interesting ... (and then read yourself back).

Do you suffer from RELIGIOUS HYPOCHONDRIA???

by Terry in

healthy people don't go to a doctor.

if they do they are hypochondriacs.

hypochondriacs spend their time and money on imagined illnesses.

Thanks for you answer Popper (I don't think that we differ on the matter you are talking about)

You know what since the first line you are using any king of fallacies/sophism (logic without total logic) to get your point ...

Guess what? ... No comment ! ...
I have nothing to prove

When is God going to kill all the atheists?

by nvrgnbk in

about the question and some answers ... (too funny)
ok seriously even if you take the bible point of view : Matthew 12:30-32
30. "He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
31. "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
32. "Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.
So I guess it's not a question of believe in him to not get killed () it's most about not working against what is productive in the matter of love (means somehow wisdom = Christ finally there are many ways to have faith in him not only believing/have faith/adhering in Christ in the stricto sensu but having faith in what is productive in the matter of love.

what first made you notice for the first time your future sex object?.

was it the perfect shiny ringlets of the little girl in front of you in 2nd grade?

( i always wanted to push my fingers up inside the ringlets of the pert little bossy boots in front of me.).

RAF

he's name was guy(lou) I was 7 he was 8, I was fat and ugly, he was handsome but he kissed me ...
he've never been my sex object tho
I saw him way later (in someone else friend wedding) ... I was 17 I wasn't fat and ugly anymore and didn't even gave a look / even fell that he was avoiding to ... Oh well

LearningToFly (thanks) : I may not agree with your theories
you don't have to ... those are just unproved theories anyway
But I like to share (and eventualy confront my point of view) on the matter conceptually just to go further on understanding possible aboutWHAT IS GOD which have been unexplored but in fact ignored by a majority by now (since I'm not the first and only one to think the same thing) - even regarding what the Bible is saying about it - which makes sense spiritually and conceptually talking to me) ...
Still I'm a believer ... (neither proud or ashamed of it) I just am

Poppers (can you tell me why you've choose this nickname If you don't mind telling)

Ok I guess I see from what comes the missunderstanding here : The experience I'm talking about is about a proof that higher bad and good forces are acting in this world (to take one example to tell you I'm not talking about an illusion here : we were five to hear the noise to see what it did to the the woman who was bothering us and to see the weird result it had on an object) - if you haven't experience something like that it looks crazy ... Even in my atheist state ... There was no way to deny that.
Again I think that being all different we won't have the same experiences in life to get to same point (or not - maybe we don't have to) ... So when I hear this never happenned to me so ... it's bull ... well : I would say lucky you somehow because you didn't have to cope with what we did before to get rid of that woman - and also maybe this is not the kind of experience some have to go through ... I just don't know the reason why some will and some won't ... but I can't deny my experiences on the matter anyway.
