  this is the purest example of an oxymoron.

  repeat this sentence over and over again and you will realize why it's impossible for some people to accept the big bang model.

  "I just thought of something. If God is omnipresent, that means he's hiding in our peanut butter, under our bed, in our brains, inside the universe, every part of it. If God takes up an infinite amount of space, nothing else can exist because he is taking up all that space. Unless he's INSIDE everything. But, then again, does he exist at the quark level? Is he subatomic? If he is that small, he can't be that big anymore, can he? And the weirdest part of him being inside and outside of everything is this: he is VERY intimate with us. In more ways than one."

  Look at my past posts in this thread, and you will see your answer.

  "Certainly you need to create an expanse between the "waters above" and the "waters below" before giving life to the nothingness. That's how I would do it.

  Think outside the box: All that we perceive as material reality, must have a "screen" of immaterial on which to project. Without zero, numbers have no real meaning.

  In order for thingness to exist, there must be no thingness to give it life....just as there must be darkness first to give light a meaning and existence.

  The problem here is not in its complication, but rather the udder simplicity.

  Be patient and see how she solves the problem.

  Other than that, for sleep I recommend four caps of Gabapentin - one hour before bedtime.

  I'll send you a bill.

  Desire for a perfect body, which lives in a perfect paradise within a perfect house on a perfect hill, etc...at the cost of billions of lives. What is more insanely materialistic than this?

  before you women jump all over me, this is just a observation.. first of all at least in this country women out number men in religion,.

  across the board,(jw,s,baptist, catholic etc.

  ) you walk in any church.

  I would say that women in general are more sensitive than men. It is this delicate yet courageous sensitivity that draws them to deeper levels of feeling and quest that we might call "spirituality".

  Dearest Tim,

  Take a moment to sit and allow your mind to be still of all religious beliefs. Just feel the aliveness of nature within and around you.

  Feel for yourself how this is the actual, silent (yet buzzing) alivness of what the word G-O-D points to. It is infinitly more valid than anything written in a book or preached from a stage.

  See how the actual consciousness that views all does not judge you or anything. It is all inclusive. IT is the loving foundation on which all exists.

  "Gayness", is not less or more than anything else. Nothing to be ashamed of. Nothing to fear.

  Go with the natural flow and stop trying to swim against the current.
