Would you accept a microchip implant?
by MarkSutter inassuming the governments would pass a law requiring everyone to have a microchip i.d.
implant with gps tracking capabilities, storing your personal and financial data but also record all your movements.. would you be for or against it?.
personally i don't have a problem with it but i'm just wondering , what would be the drawbacks for the normal, law abiding citizen?.

So basically the issues seems to be that people that DON'T believe in God don't like the fact that he hasn't done anything and are asking people who believe in God why he hasn't, correct?
And when those that believe in God show that don't think its God's "job" to do anythign that we can't do, those that don't believe in God to begine with have issues with a "common sense" answer.
Interesting.
My thoughts exactly- Thankyou PSacramento
Frankiespeakin- We can just skip the big bang theory discussion for a different thread (I have a different view/perspective on that), and if you look closely at my post, you'll see I put 'Deist of sorts'- I dont even hold myself 100% to the few basic common beliefs of that philosophy... just the parts that 'make sense'...
Would I like God to be 'active' and 'intervine'? yep... but I dont expect 'speacial treament' from anyone- this whole universe does not revolve around me and any of my wants... besides who am I to question God? and if I did... how do you I would recieve an answer? I seek for knowledge in the creation itself- as I quoted before,"only a poorly made creation would need constant tinkering with" and do you really think any mere human has enough knowledge and wisdom to ask for changes because they find this creation insufficiant or lacking somehow?????????? We- humans, have enough here at our disposal to make life peacfull for each other.... we just lack that which is preached in every religion/philosophy... do unto others/harm none etc... -

Below is a "cut and paste job" of a post I made from a very similar thread about a month ago........ which I've spread out over two posts due to changes in post sizes and I have altered it a bit to better fit the question being asked....
As a Deist of sorts I am 99.9% a believer in a divine creator, I call this 'creator' natures god, (i will not for the sake of space on this tread go into extreme detail as per my idea of what or whom exactly god is to me, this is of no importance to the questions at hand).
To answer the question- "If God really cared.... blah blah blah....."
To quote a friend of mine ;
"I believe that describing God's non-interfence in his creation is just a way for some to put Deism down. Abandonment sounds negetive, as though the Deist God is indifferent or uncaring. This universe doesnt need intervention. It has everything it needs. Only a poorly-concieved or poorly-made creation would need to be constanly tinkered with to keep it functioning."- CClendenen.
So how do we reconcile our belief that God is caring if so many around us are sufferring? I have a few words as quoted from the Dali Lama to share in that regard;
"We live very close together. So, our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can not help them, at least dont hurt them."- Dali Lama

Cheers Guys & Gals , just throw confette instead of rice (rice swells up in birds stomachs and can make them very sick), if you must throw food- do it at the reception if you get board and scream out "Food Fight"!

I'll see what I can dig up for you- I'll PM what I find...
Oh, dont let the whole blood card thing worry you now, in Oz it is illegal for anyone to refuse blood on behalf of a minor (under 18), the hospital will treat your kids then ask questions later... but that too may be worth telling your laywer about....

The JW's view their partical form of baptisim as a verbal and legally binding contract (otherwise DFing wouldn't and couldn't happen)- your lucky we live in a country were a child under the age of 18 can NOT enter into a legally binding contract without parental conscent- I would seriously talk this over with your laywer- it sounds like you may have a case...
What state in Oz do live in? I can do a little search for you if you like?

I live in a pretty rural area in OZ, and the last do I went to, was an xmas in july party... we had a fashion parade, karaoke, lucky door prizes ( I ened up with a bulldog toilet brush holder), and a lovely young main dressed as a fairy serving fairy bread to all the kids... I think in total PFLAG raised about $5000 dollars that night for charity... I am just sad that my friends who used to take me to them moved...
I'm so glad you had a great night, and I wish there was more people out there who were more supportive of others... people are people and as I said to the JW lady I used to study with- "it would not be paradice without my Aunty Johnny- so we will just have too agree to disagree on that!"...
Six thousand lights !!! Wow! did you have a pic of it? (no flash needed I bet LOL)...
Merry Christmas Chickpea
