Heart vs Mind - What Makes Us Human
by ballistic inhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01kpvj1/heart_vs_mind_what_makes_us_human/.
i was watching this bbc iplayer programme on heart and mind, (which is well worth a watch if you can access where you are).
and despite how the programme starts out, it develops into a deep and touching discussion of what makes us human.. i personally was left with the feeling at odds with what i believed as a witness.

How does anxiety affect your heart rate?
by Splash in-- w54 4/15 p. 233 scriptural aspect of psychosomatic medicine --.
"doctors have found also that anxiety slows down the heart beat as much as 27 beats a minute.
the bible shows that men become faint out of fear and the heart may stop.luke 21:26 (men become faint out of fear)".

Anxiety raises blood pressure, for Pete’s sake what century are the WB&TS on?? Soon they will be saying that masturbation and ejaculation are an addiction, oh wait they had.
prologos: Of course they didn't, not even through holy spirit lol, and even today people speak of the heart like its a mind on one's chest, news flash a heart is nothing more than a scavenge pump for blood.

Atheism and Theism are only partly right!
by abiather intoday we know that matter and energy are interchangeable, hence they are there always in either form, they are eternal, hence requires no creator.
hence atheism is right in rejecting a creator, but failed in providing any motivation for people to do good.
religions, in their effort to provide a motivating factor for humans to do good, introduced creation stories and other myths; hence they too are right (as far as their intention is concerned), yet failed in producing any worthy resultsworld was steadily moving from bad to worse and from worse to worst!.

All atheism is is a lack of belief in deities due to a lack of evidence, NOTHING else.

Individual Governing Body Members
by lambsbottom inafter watching morris' rant, was thinking about how weak these religious men are.
think about it: they are scared to put any of their hardcore beliefs (e.g.
higher education is bad and dangerous, clothing standards, ect.

There Is No Apostate Without Fanatics!
by abiather inthe artificial distinction between true believers and false ones who are branded as apostates or infidels hinges on a particular set of beliefs and their lack, and the subsequent (literal or figurative) witch-hunts are the result of taking lesson from external sources such as edgar j hoovers fbi reign.
because spiritually great people recognized differences, yet chose to respond with compassion rather than violence.
for example, whoever has ears, let them hear, was christs style of action.

I love Hitchens quote on faith "Trust is not the same as faith. A friend is someone you trust. Putting faith in anyone is a big mistake."

NASA Identifies The Hand of God
by Perry init even has what looks like blood flowing from a palm wound.
article.
world-renowned astrophysicist robert jastrow, founding director of nasas goddard institute for space studies, explains the fear of faith many of todays scientists experience.. there is a kind of religion in science, it is the religion of a person who believes there is order and harmony in the universe, and every effect must have its cause; [but] there is no first cause.

Perry, being that you refused to answer my questions I can only conclude that on top of your god of the gaps arguments you are prejudice towards others and follow a deity worse than Hitler, have a great day.
