[quote I.Ponder]
yeah, what a really tried to ask is wheter its ignorent to believe in a bible orientated god, believing i a higher power seems like a lot more logical.
and also i try to live my life the best i can, therefor i ask other peoples oppinion, just to learn and be aware of other oppinions.
i do respect all sorry if it didn’t seemed that way. it was not my intention to look unrespectfull.[/quote]
Fair enough, all I was trying to say was that I don’t think that people are ignorant for believing a certain thing unless it causes them to do others or themselves harm.
Every individual person takes a long time to come to a conclusion about their religious beliefs. You have to respect that, and understand that that’s probably what works best for them.
My brother is an atheist, and that works for his individual personality and lifestyle, while my sister is a strict catholic, and that works for her too.

[quote I.Ponder]if you dont believe life is random, if you think life is created by a god or something like that, who did create that god? what is god made up of? does he know what i am thinking now? how can he see verybody at the same time? are all dead people (around 100 billion) in heaven? how about all animals? is there a heaven for single celled animals? … if you go on asking yourself questions like that it’s kind of logical you stop believing in god isn’t it?[/quote]
I don’t believe in the kind of God your questioning, I believe in a higher being and karmic balance. My answers to you would probably just seem abstract.

[quote I.Ponder]
a few hundred years aggo if you said you didn’t believe in god you’d probabyl end up death, today if you’re often in the spotlight and say you don’t believe in god you’ll probably be looked at bad. therefor i think there are lots of people who don’t really believe in god.
i’m sorry i didn’t state my question very clear but what i cant understand is when people believe in God like in the bible, koran of whatever. people who believe in a bigger force you can’t graps i do understand more.
i think there is more proof that there is no god then there is proof that there is a god. or do you have any proof there is a god?[/quote]
Maybe people would look at you badly for saying you didnt believe in God but I don’t think many people would pretend they do for the sake of looking better. Because would it really make you look better? Its how you react to other people’s beliefs thats important. If you say you don’t believe in God and insult the people who do, no one like that.
As for proof… I think you have to look for proof yourself, I don’t believe in a Bible orientated God, I believe in a higher plane, a higher power.

I do agree, although I personally believe this is a coping mechanism,[/quote]
You could say its a coping mechanism but then not believing in God seems like a coping mechanism too.
There’s no proof there’s a God. Some people don’t like the unknown, the uncertain. Science is certain right? So why not cling to that? That way the world makes sense, life is just a random serious of events. Nothing matters, in a bizarre way, this is calming.
Its secure.

why do people who don’t believe in God have to be so insulting?
Religion is such a personal thing… what right have you to say only the conclusion you came to is right?
Plenty of intelligent people believe in God.
Newton who discovered the law of gravity believed completely in God.
And Steven Hawking one of the most intelligent people of our times does not so blatently dismiss the idea either.
I won’t bore you with more examples. Try looking them up yourself.
Why is it you think that you have all the answers? That you know better than so many people?
What reason have you to believe that there is no God? Because there’s no evidence? Some people don’t like the empty idea of a world that just happened. Of death being the end, that doesn’t make them inferior.
You were brought up in an age where everyone questions God’s existance. That doesn’t make you intelligent, that makes you a product of your environment.

Personally I don’t like flowers… I’d rather something more original. But its the thought that counts.
Most guys couldn’t be bothered.
But its sustained romance that’s important. Peole stop bothering with that kind of thing once they get comfortable.

Look at as many articles as you can on it I found this and the Bruce Lee one to be aprticularly good.
I’d advice reading some of it everyday for the first while before you go out to meet people or before you go to bed so you can think about it while your drifting off. I did both, and it honestly worked.
Its really good advice! You just need to apply it! :)
good luck!

2009-09-07 08:00:35 on Ugh I’m in so much pain.
Well I can’t have sugar or wheat or yeast or gluton. And I can’t have eggs… or alcohol, or be near tabacco. Or have spinach (for no reason) or dairy.
And today all I ate was these (everything above free) pancakes with strawberries on it… and this special soya sugar free yogurt but I’m still sick
I don’t get it at all

2009-08-27 04:49:23 on Hi .I’m a lyrics writer .I want to sell my lyrics ,which are about love, family and confusion and many other topics.
Do you have any other lyrics? Because I write alot of music but I’m terrible at lyrics! I just can’t get past the idea that songs should be able to be interpreted anyway the listener wants… and lyrics to a large extent prevent that. They can be beautiful though, I just cant bring myself to assign any of my songs with one specific story ya know?
Anyway, yours are really nice, I was just wondering have you any other ones?
