  in a country still torn by competing political forces, life goes on and the survivors strive for a normal life.

  i'm not really a pop music fan, but i watched this show through, filled with admiration .

  for these people searching for normality.. watch it and cheer them on.

  lets say we wanted to determine if it was a good idea to wash ones hands after taking a dump if one wish to cook food.

  we can imagine two ways to determine it:.

  1) evidence-based reasoning.

  Every change has a good and bad side, beneficiaries and casualties. For those who adapt, it takes effort. 'Course, trying to keep things from changing takes effort, too. Maybe, attempting to stop change is futile effort, wasted effort.

  Getting warmer is for the worse? It has been getting warmer for 10000 yrs. Should we go back to the way it was 10,000 yrs ago. The sahara used to be forest, back then. No, you just want it like it was 50 yrs ago.

  The fear is of change. In the fundamentalist world, nothing is supposed to change.

  Crisis of Conscience republished and on Kindle

  hi guys.

  sorry if this has been mentioned before... i haven't visited this forum in a while.. i've noticed that crisis of conscience is no longer ridiculously expensive on amazon.co.uk (now 9.38), and they have a kindle version which is even cheaper (6.84 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/b00bqou5rc).

  unfortunately the publisher did an absolutely useless job of formatting the kindle version.

  That amazon reply has really poor english. The mistakes are of the style that asians aften make. Makes you wonder about how effective they will be w the book.

  Just cuz he's a hypocrite, doesn't change things, one way or the other. Most religious leaders don't practice what they preach. Yes, its a religion. Feel the fear oozing out. See the denial.

  Not really. Given the amount of time i've been here, the meaningful thing for me, would be to move on. Guess, its a comfort level thing, like chocolate or beer. I mean, what meaning is there for beer? Do beer and chocolate need meanings?

  Are you a dabbler in Witchcraft?

  by StopTheTears in

  2. friends

  after leaving christianity it's common especially among the young to experiment with witchcraft.

  some get drawn into it by getting involved with earth movements and back to nature groups.. .

  witchcraft is an evil thing.

  Hinduism has shamanic roots. Its basically, the last of the pagan religions. There are areas, in india, where animals and plants have been protected for hundreds of yrs. People have literally sacrificed their lives to protect the plants and animals.

  From your description, heaven, i'm on the same path, only i don't do the formal stuff, like dates, meetings, oh and no dabbling. I don't dabble. I use it, whenever.
