Aww... And I don't agree with you again. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I enjoy being agreeable, lol. You see, my dissension lies in the distinction bit. Kind of... It's complicated. If God is perfect, and complete, then he holds all possibilities within himself. This created world...

Hm, I was mostly kidding with that post, but you have a good point. After all, living life entails feeling pain. It's just another part of life, and if people realized that, they wouldn't feel so betrayed maybe every time something bad happened to them. It's just one more part of life. Lemonade...

Path. You, are soooo good at coherent writing. I'm jealous. (^_^) But I agree with what you say, and find it along the same lines as my thoughts. Just much less jumbled, and infinitely more eloquent, lol. It does seem that your thoughts differ from my (meager) research into panentheism. Differ...

Lol, but can you imagine a world where everyone lived life to the fullest? Would such a thing even be possible? No one would want the insignificant boring everyday jobs that make civilization go round. No one would want to do the trivial, everyday things that keep life so peaceful. No one would...

... I like, wasn't getting updates on this or something... I dunno, but hello breeze! I agree with you, all around me I see people plugging away doing trivial things that they hate, all so that they can have a 'better future.' "Someday, things will be different," they say. "Someday." And...

Lol, and that's good. The world would be a boring place if it weren't for all of our beliefs and differences. The only reason that I don't consider myself panentheist is the idea that God didn't create the universe, or, if he did, it wasn't consciously. That's just an idea that I can't have...

If God 'changes' he doesn't really change though, does he. Being perfection, ie. complete, he holds all possibilities within himself, therefore cannot really change. What could he change into, that he was not already? Just so you know, I did understand what Thomas was getting at. I was actually...

Bang Bang You're Dead I just randomly found it. Quite nice, with a powerful story about school shootings, and what could possibly drive a kid to that extreme. It's got a play within a movie thing goin on, too. Nice. Two thumbs up!

Buzzing in my brain! A wicked electric hum Quiet, rest, I crave

Ooo, beavers. And wolves! Oh, my! It's great to see people restoring land instead of decimating it. Grr, one of em got shot? That's just... that's just evil. But I wonder how much trouble the person will get into if they find the culprit, seeing as how they're messing with government money...

Can we shed our mask? Or is this our last retreat? Anonymity...

I think I see where you're coming from. Correct me if I'm wrong. The very existence of creation denotes that God is manifest in it, but that does not mean that it is God, as in made of the same stuff, and sharing a consciousness with him. Creation is a manifestation of God, but is not God...

Thomas, you've misunderstood me again, if only because of my bad wording. When I said that some people shy away from believing in a centuries old idea, just because it has been around for centuries. I meant that they don't ascribe to that particular belief on the sole basis that it is long held...

Thomas, from what I see, you're into faith dependent on proof, evidence, the testimony of time. You believe in the long standing, tride and true, centuries tested idea. Others will naturally shy away from believing the centuries old idea, simply because it has been around for centuries. They...

Lol, good, I don't feel so lazy. (^_^)

I don't know if this counts as an actual recipe as I'm not starting from scratch, but I've found the best frosting and cake combo ever! Jello cake that won't put you in a diabetic coma, with fluffy cream cheese frosting! Ingredients: 1 box cake mix of your choosing (um, actually, white works...

In post #288, All the quotes are from wil, and they're labeled as coming from me. Just thought I'd let someone know. :)

Thomas, I think your missing the point that we're trying to make. The good that comes about because of evil actions would never come about if not for those evil actions. It doesn't matter that the person doing evil did not do the evil to have that good come out of it. The persons intent behind...

Thomas, you've never learned from evils that have happened to you? You've never grown from awful things happening to you? You've never seen the good, and the learning that comes about globally after terrible evils are committed? The acts of evil in and of themselves mean nothing. They are just...

That's how you define evil, based on your perspective. I doubt that people who don't know God don't know evil. But we've had this dance before... All your talk of hell is nonsense to me. And since it's nonsense to me, all your talk about this or that god sending one or two of every generation...
