Edwards & Brown... what do you think???

has anyone seen/watch "crossing over" (john edwards) or seen sylvia brown?

i do believe there are scam artists out there, and i'm not prone to believing in psychics, but these two are very convincing.. i don't believe its demons, because quite frankly i think they have better things to do then get to know someone's life so well they can "mimic" them after death .

part of me is very attracted to "their message" - even the animals "cross over"... but the skeptic in me .

Gosh DJ-
Wish I'd a thought of that.

I'm not asking for anyone to write a reply for me. All I wanted were some concepts that have been discussed here way too many times before. Just something to focus my brain on. That is all.

Thank you Xander for the link to infidels.org. I am getting a lot of ideas there.

And Jim, your right of course. It is the warped views of god that start wars. Not everyone is that far out there. "Normal people don't go killing people!!"
Your right. Thank you.

Today we were talking and that dasterdly topic of religion came up again. I made some flippent remark about god and not believing in him. (I forgot she was a god-fearin' girl) My mistake. Anyway, I mentioned that god has been the cause of a lot of the wars and even the 9/11 attacks. At least that is what I said, but like most god-fearers, she spoke over most of what I said. God only knows(HAHAHAHA) what she heard. So, I have a problem articulating all the problems with the god theory. Anybody wanna throw some good ones at me to use? At least if I write an email she can't talk over me.

I hope this message isn't too "heavy". I am not trying to upset you or make our friendship WEIRD.....

I understand you might feel that bad things come from God because of the way you were brought up. But really, God loves you and doesn't bring bad things into people's lives. Sometimes "religion" takes people further from God, instead of bringing them closer. I understand you giving up on "religion", but don't give up on God. Someday I hope you can see this in a different light.

Thanks for the help

Just when you think your mind is fixed

the other day i was doing some shopping at the local mall with my wife, and she wanted me to go next door to this book store and pick up this book for her.

i went in and picked up the book, and went to the counter to pay for it.

the man looked at the book and it was a title that was not exactly something most men buy.

Wow,I just had to comment!! That was completely me. I spent my entire life with a smile on my face no matter how I felt. When I got out, it caused a lot of problems. I was soo repressed. When the feelings finally started to surface, it was a little scarry. Ya know, when you repress all bad feelings for so long and suddenly the bad feelings are coming out and possibly taking over, well, you gotta wonder how bad they can get. I mean it's not like you were able to express them before.

I finally went to a therapist for help. It did a world of good. I learned how to express myself in the moment and not hours or days later. And I learned that there is no good reason to supress how you feel. I am free now.
