Hi LyinEyes,
I can't understand your dad's actions. He is missing one of life's most precious treasures, the love of his daughters. I almost cried when I read your post. The only thing that could make a person feel that way is the cult influence of some religion.
I'm sorry that you are having to experience this. I hope he will wake up some day and see what he is missing.

Is death the end?
by kevin221 insorry it's been some time since i posted but i was busy rearranging my life.
just wondering what the general consensus is among posters on this board to this question, is death the end of existance, or a portal to a new reality?
my 2 cents, death is only the beginning of a new reality.

There is no evidence of anything more than life as we know it. Thinking there is life after death is probably fantasizing, but I can't prove it. If we have some spirit that lives on, when did we get it, right after sex or later? When a baby is produced, who gives it it's soul, the mother or father? What about a test tube fertilization? All I can say is you better enjoy today for tomorrow we die.

Smoking and apostates
by Elsewhere inmrmoe got me thinking... is it just me, or does a disproportionate number of apostates smoke?.

Never smoked, never will. A waste of money and life, stinks, burns holes in things, starts fires and is addictive. Never heard anyone say,"I'm sure glad I started smoking when I was a kid."
Both my step-kids smokes and it controls them. They want to quit but don't seem to be able to give it up. I will really be hurt when they have lung cancer or heart trouble. Hate the habit.

Hi All,
I was sitting in my swing yesterday evening and thinking about my life and how much I appreciated my family, the material universe, and the many wonderful days I've had to enjoy it all. I wanted to thank whatever was responsibile for it all. I just looked up and said in my mind,"Thank you for the good things I've enjoyed(not really knowing what or who to thank) and if this current life is all there is I still thank you for it and want you to know I'm grateful for the opportunity of being here. I guess I was having a spiritual moment, whatever that is.

Israel has No Future
by metatron inthe state of israel will meet the same fate as rhodesia/zimbabwe.
and south africa - chipped away by endless violence, beaten down.
internationally, and finally erased amidst promises of peace.

Maybe the Israelites should try the advice of their God back in David's time and just kill all the enemies and save a few virgins for sex.

Hi,
My mother-in-law lived with a coke nearby and she was 90 when she died. Her husband lived with a beer and he died at 92. Take your choice!

by misty inthis keeps happening to me, and i want to know if i need to seek professional help?

Hi Misty,
I think this is a normal reaction when you are dealing with something that has and is affecting you life in such a serious way. When I first realized that what I had been raised from childhood to believe was truth wasn't the truth, I would pray to God for some help in finding the truth and I would cry. When I was visiting a church looking for the truth about God the members would cry while testifying. This seems normal for some people.
I didn't find God or any truth in any church. I no longer cry. There may be a God somewhere but I don't see any evidence of his action on earth today. I feel a greater responsibility for doing what is right than I did when I had the rules from some religious organization. I hope you are happy with your life and find your own peace.

Hi Jeol,
Haven't you heard? All humans are evil to God, since Adam ate that fruit. We have all this bad stuff happen to us, then we die because we are evil. Haven't you read your bible?
Now you can be righteous though, just accept Jesus, but all the bad stuff still happens and you still die just like always.
