well that was an interesting journey!

i just got home after riding home from a friend's house, where i'd been helping them with a little decorating.

it is a clear and beautiful night, so i thought i would open her up a little, but neglected to look at the speedo.... ...until i hit a short piece of undulating piece of road and found the front wheel wobbling.

Children

on children.

your children are not your children.. they are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.. they come through you but not from you,.

and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.. you may give them your love but not your thoughts,.

Should Britain Build a £100m Mosque for the Olympics?
by LittleToe in
1. social
2. current
a poll is being taken by the british newspaper "the evening standard" as to whether or not britain should invest 100m in a new mosque for the olympics.

i have to admit i'm a little confused as to why folks would desire to have their tax money invested in paying for a religious building, given that religions are already tax free.

i don't see a similar offfer to build a new cathedral, synagogue or hindu temple, nor would i want to.

Anathema of Science and Religion

2. beliefs
just a short "starter for ten" question:.

have you noticed how so many exjws are polarised as to their views of particularly science and religion?

some seem to take the time to get informed, and others are content to hold onto previous [mis]conceptions (most likely coloured by the wts) about science and religion being evil and/or corrupt.

Otherwise Engaged...

2. relationships
just a little breaking news:.

after several years of a great friendship with diane (previously posted as xena) things have started to really come together recently and i've succumbed to making an honest woman of her (or at least as honest as it's possible to make her.

last night (xmas day) i popped the question and she agreed to marry me (i wonder if she knows what she's let herself in for!!!)..

The Science of Belief
by LittleToe in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
time and again the refrain is heard that belief and science are mutually exclusive, that belief somehow corrupts good science, that belief is not empirical.

i'd like to throw another slant on that, if i may.. belief is an inherent part of the human psyche.

the desire to know more about our environment and how it all works is also an inherent part of our psyche.
