I know this is the Christian section of the Forum. Shadowman, I really think you need some balanced viewpoint in this. Find a sympathetic doctor, or if you have a pastor / church person or someone in real life away from this forum to talk to - it may be better to talk to someone face to face...

I prefer sorbet. and in that case I like it in a berry flavour

Hi guys - interesting thread. I'm not a fluent speaker, but there have been studies of Irish (gaelic) having some similarities with Sanskrit and also with some eastern European languages - (link below). Though recent studies have found The modern Irish and Scottish (and to a lesser extent...

I don't like ice cream

The sort of person who makes websites like that has problems. Its like junk mail pamphlets.

Excuse me for joining in . What does this mean? That religion is just for social control? I am of the similar view as Equus and I find this attitude shocking. What was Jesus' life for? what our lives for? If this is religion you can all have it.

Hi Z and Sunny C nice to see someone having a go at the Dawkins "no God". I just finished the book and was on another forum caught between the Athiests and Chrisitans. Though some of this discussion does not quite make sense to me. Its true we only perceive so much with our physical body. Where...

I'd like to hear your prophecies. I have a few too, myself.:)

Perhaps I am on the wrong forum. Why are you so insistent that I am so wrong to say something about G-ds gender? I am only questioning him as an image of a man with grey beard on a cloud, in a "light "way, as a way of introducing my piece about what If G-d was to send us a message. I wasn't...

If G-d was to send us a message ? First of all G-d isn't a "he" - that got lost in translation. G-d would say:" I keep sending messengers here, but you never listen properly and then you say that one messenger is better than the other, ....so...KEEP ATTENTION" ardenz

lovely - I like the present idea. Another one I brought up somewhere else is the different pairs of glasses. Though not fair to glasses wearers, or those that may actually be blind.

If they are the same God, why all the disputes? ( I know there are finer details involved). Thats why I have no religion. sorry , thats some of my reaction from my personal experience. I was brought up Catholic and I have close relatives who are Evangelical Christian. I could never accept the...

what about the lovely sites advertising with google above us on this site? Evangelicals do my head in.

I know its not quite the same thing, but in Ireland when early monks settled from the 6th century, one of the most remote areas was Skellig Micheal - on a rocky island about 10 miles off the southwest coast. They built huts from dry stone - called Beehive huts. Skellig Michael - Wikipedia...

perhaps this is my long lost religion!

well its not like that any more ! central heating has been here a while, and the latest Merc or BMW is the thing to have. There is still the magical - away from the motorways and new bungalows. Anyway hi again

thanks for the welcoming !! I'm lurking around the forum - some very interesting discussion. I'm in Ireland by the way. ardenz

Hi Nita, I'm new too , and like you have no religion. My believing in G-d is another thing. I believe there is something that is bigger than us all, but we have made such a mess of describing it to eachother that I'd rather not start another religion by calling it something. Ardenz

hi Equus, I have just finished reading Richard Dawkins " the God Delusion". I liked his scientific questioning of religion, but ultimately found him closed minded - absolutely NO god or any organising intelligence whatsover. I was accused of being a wishy washy agnostic or fence sitter and...

Hi , I 'm just new here at CR and am checking out the various sections. I have read some of Ken Wilber on Spiral Dynamics several years ago. It is an interesting concept, but I found it difficult to accept the idea of categorising people and cultures.
