i'm trying to figure it out.
if we are just dead then there is no point to anything i do.
i'd like to hope our energy goes somewhere... but, i'd like to examine what somebody presents as proof....
For me, whether there an afterlife or not, it changes my life very little, if at all. My purpose, if that is the right word, remains the same. I am in charge of my life, or at least responsible for my life here and now. If there is an afterlife, i believe i will be responsible over there at more or less the same proportion as i am here. Aint no jesus/devils/gods waiting at the portal to strap on the leash and lead me to judgement and escort me to my eternal home.

i have seen debates and shizzle about god or not god etc etc.. i was even confronted by an aggressive and trheatening muslim in the street, who was angry that i wanted proof that god existed.
he ranted on a load of old b0110cks about 'hell' and stuff.
finally he yelled at me: 'do you want god to write your name in the sky?
'True, but notice who Jesus was talking to.'
Dunno. Who? The 12 or 11 apostles, only? Or, was it a larger group? So, did that apply to jsut those who heard what he said, and to noone else? Or does it apply only to those whom jesus 'choses'? Since enterpretations vary greatly, you need to tell me, in your own words.

stuck in a rut of wishing for the good old days just can't seem to adjust very good in todays day and age.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f68tdgerxke.
yes thank god for the internet, information spitting at you from multiple screens at your finger tips.
Very interesting concept.
'The grand plan on which the unconscious life of the psyche is constructed is so inaccessible to our understanding that we can never know what evil may not be necessary in order to produce good by enantiodromia, and what good may very possibly lead to evil.'
' endure living with the absence of the persona — and for Jung "the man with no persona... is blind to the reality of the world, which for him has merely the value of an amusing or fantastic playground."'
So, the persona is fake or a construct, as is the ego. However, the persona is a different animal than is the ego. The persona is there for the purpose of interacting w the outside world.

You are the one suggesting that i'm on the same level as pharisees, and don't deserve proof. Its you, man. Don't put it on me. 'Course, its just a cop out.
'The point is that demands for proof did not necessarily warrant a response.'
I'm not important enough. Got it.
'I'll let the risen Christ decide who gets all the proof they need.'
Another cop out. You came on as an advocate for jesus; now, you are abdicating. Jesus said to ask anything in his name, and he would do it. His words.

So, cuz we ask for the same signs that he gave his schleppers, we are pharisses, and we aren't supposed to get it? Like, we don't deserve it? The old cat and mouse - true believers don't need signs/proof that jesus lives, those who need proof before they are willing to believe don't deserve proof.

Jesus should provide proof to each one of us that demands it, just like it is said that he did for his schleppers. Is that too much to ask?

I don't really care for that long stringy mozzerella that they put on pizza. A stronger, shorter strand cheese would be better, in my taste. Maybe, a lower fat ricotta.

i had this logical fallicy tactic used on me by my wife.
see: argument from authority on wikipedia.
brother x is a [scientist, university lecturer, doctor, banker, judge ... i.e.
'On one hand they shun "wordly" knowledge and education. Yet on the other hand they use "worldy" educated scollars to add credibility to aspects of their faith.'
This flip flop/double standard/hypocracy always did a number on my brain. It made me itch where i couldn't scratch.

Black diamond extra strong cheddar. For on spagetti, parmesan.

for the first time in years today.
to say that it took me five minutes to read the whole thing would be to flatter the rag.
it doesn't even seem to contain actual articles any more, just headings and bullet points and pictures.
They should be coming out w their own research to combat the ever growing evidence for evolution. While evolutionary evidence piles up, wt creationist evidence, false evidence, is as meagre as it ever was.
