Hmm...Genesis 3:1616 To the woman He said: “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you.” Is there a non-sexist language version of the Genesis story ? Why is the male version...

Not to worry my sweet. I'm sure you'd score out as Neo Pagan as I did. flow....:p

Pathless...Ahem, everyone knowz it's "waze" and not "wayz" flow....:p

HI Nevermore..welcome to CR. Lots of good advice so far from friends here, especially Path's suggestions. I would also agree with Snoopy that concentrating your concerns upon your endings is more harmful to you in the long run than making concerted efforts at beginning new things in your life...

Sooo me lad...been eatin' them purple carrots again...eh ? flow....:p

Yeah, it all makes me wonder just how genetically stable and natural all of those seed stocks are that the UN is placing in the Ark they're building above the Arctic Cirle on a remote Norwegian Island. Here's an article on the FDA's news release regarding the safety of foods from cloned...

Hi wil. You're absolutely right. But having worked on the business/academia end of this stuff in the 80's when it was all getting started I'll say one thing. When the toothpaste is out of the tube you can't put it back. But people/consumers may be educated on the good and bad of the process...

Whenever a feeling of aversion comes into the heart of a good soul, it's not without significance. Consider that intuitive wisdom to be a Divine attribute, not a vain suspicion: the light of the heart has apprehended intuitively from the Universal Tablet. - Rumi

These days we have been conditioned to believe that all genetic engineering is not a good thing for our healthy existence. Maybe so. This article seems to present a good case to the contrary. Please post articles here involving your opinions/views on what influences genetic engineering may...

Hey, don't feel bad if you don't get the arguments here. It was even a bit much for me to try and digest. I got all glassy-eyed and weak-kneed about halfway through. But many smart people seem to be interested in trying to decode the brain/universe conundrum. I'm just content when I believe...

Hi. These videos are in sequence but IMHO they are very important. It will take you about three hours to get through them all. I've heard this guy on the radio many times, but never got to hear his "Big Picture " conclusions. Lots of things that I have learned over the years comport with his...

Yeah Grey, but I'll wager that you could write a book or two about the things that you and your lot do know. We each have our own knowledge and talents. The trick is doing something with all that which may benefit others my dear. flow....;)

Hi...As I pointed out elsewhere here, the self identification of the human spirit with observed phenomena of nature was a common theme among very ancient people. We all started out as Pagans. In Europe, this was predominantly a matter of assuming the persona of animal spirits in the pursuit of...

HI Juan...Sorry the link doesn't work for you. Since the NYT eliminated their $50 fee for access to certain articles and areas of their site, I thought that this sort of blocking was no longer operative. Oh well. let's just say that I'm doing this under the "fair use" doctrine and doesn't...

Yeah it would automatically objectify the person. The only choice remaining for the "certified" would be to take on the form of a graded and juicy haunch of meat, or to be a piece of postal detrius which would have to be signed for in order to be "delivered". It all sounds like some sort of ploy...

Not many people are talking about the creation of artifical/synthetic life, especially theologians. But IMHO they should be. Here's an interesting blog entry which addresses the issues very well. What do you think things like this will do to traditional beliefs over time ? About twenty five...

Here's another tidbit concerning the "nature" of the universe which we are able to see. I'm not surprised that it prominently features conflict. In fact I'd have been very surprised were this not so. flow....;)...

A really priceless post my brother. It brings to mind the old saying, "Know thyself." That's likely all we're all trying to come to do and know here at CR. Thanks. flow....;)

Sorry to say Snoop that it's the systemic goings on here in the USA that are pretty imbecilic. With the situation we've got with programmable voting machines these days, there are unlimited opportunities for imbecilic outcomes in elections. Professor after professor and computer scientist...

Chris...I too humbly bow to your verbose and loquacious expertise. But the old guy behind the curtain, W. Huston Smith, to my knowledge was the first in modern times to think and write about a "nature as origins of religion" perspective in his seminal book, The Religions Of Man, which was later...
