you must have an reason for criminalizing God. per DR - patient discussion.


perhaps some of us fear our own inadequacies concerning mortality as well.

just something think about.


They assume that the doctor has a firmer grasp on reality than the patient which is sometimes true but not in all cases. Does having an MD mean you have a corner on God? I don't think so.

I found God, lost it, and found it again. What I did was try to go on living, despite my inadequacies. My mind was blown many a time along the way.

agreed . DRS. egos... yo saying its possible for the human mind.
and here you mean spirit can surpass physical probabilities when contemplating
temporal possibilities ( spatial) ?

I'm back. before I forget I actually im quite pleased to hear someone discuss anything concerning the injustice suffered on the Jews during the traumatic events w/out argument that took place during world war two. under the nazi party and German war machine. I have knowledge from survivers and liberators during that era ( on the winning side/righteous ) whom leave me
w/ no doubt the holocaust was an real event. why -in the interest of knowledge
is this subject of numbers and topic illegal in several countries.? -rhetorical
and understood to be painful. but should not be used for political gain over another race or political belief as justification for human rights abuse.
iran questions this because of the abuse it has suffered at the various wars
imposed on its homeland. Palestinians too. they are being absorbed and displaced. like native Americans.

"The dual substance of Christ-
the yearning, so human,
so superhuman, of man to attain God...
has always been a deep
inscrutable mystery to me.
My principle anguish and source
of all my joys and sorrows
from my youth onward
has been the incessant,
merciless battle between
the spirit and the flesh...
and my soul is the arena
where these two armies
have clashed and met."

please , tell me your only grip on the tenuous umbilical cord of life

is not bound by these discussions on this board ?

so you want to become a priest. ? that's a noble profession.

but before you do , be sure of what you think goes on in mans mortal mind.

because if your not sure or confident of yourself/ knowledge, you will not lead

anyone anywhere. I'm sure ' 'he ' will lead you. if it is his will. I think you have

a good shot at it. you seem like a fighter. hypocrisy is the worst lie to the

spirit. but, I'm not a priest just some guy. joe nobody. picking up a wayward

cause here and there...

Emotions are a funny thing and people all handle them differently, forinstance felling embarrassed becasue you were seen in an emotional moment. Most men want to hide some emotions and do not want to be seen crying, or being thoughtful, or imaginining you will be regarded as inferior for epressing some emotions. Some of that empathy from others, comes out in cracking a joke, in order to minimize what you know the person is feeling, helping him/her coverup, so to speak. Thats what you just did Humphreys, so it looks like in your own ways you can understand what might bring someone to their knees literally, otherwise you would not make light of it.

How many times do we whisper to ourselves "Thank You God", for things from little blessing to some of those big ones, that are monumental? I'm of the opinion in some ways unexplaiable God is within us on a daily basis, and never leaves us. Its easy to take the cynical view, or come up with oppositional criticism, but for those who believe it, we are secure in our feelings and beliefs.

It doesn't really matter if Frosty was on his knees because of a life being saved or if his boloney sandwich was really good, Frosty lives with God within him everyday, feels God, and is Thankful to God. Thats part of the personal relationship we all have with God, on a one to one basis. Its a choice we all have, silently or openly, and unconditionally. Its also something that can begin at any moment. All you have to do is let God in.



that was a fantastic post!!
