I see you're from Singapore.
How is the ballroom danceing program going over there?
That is very vague to me, and I don't think ballroom dancing is pretty much very popular here either. It's only the food. Although we are a small country, we do eat a lot.
It's not diseases that are the issue - it's genetic similarity. I would guess that Adam and Eve's children had somewhat similar genes.
Regarding to this. True. But the forms of bacteria werent very virulent or complex as today.
Yes, you are correct. As one becomes more aware of the patterns of energy, positive and negative, practice causes the practitioner to be more responsible for his/her actions. It is very easy to slip and use whatever power seems available to bring about the desired end result. As described in the following...
By any chance, have you heard of magicians who are hounded by demons, because their power seems to come from them. However, the bad effects of it are too great for a human to use, to comprehend. And now there are those kids trying out hexes and oujia board and such.
Many associates involved with deeper study of the Arts have this to say regarding the New Age practitioners.."As it is, there is already to many children, who dapple in the lower formations of subtler energies, without any real knowledge of what they are doing. Those energies come to be abused, and in that, create an imbalance, which may unleash unforeseeable repercussions".--Suba ( High Magick: The Elemental Adept )
This energies are nothing more channelled by evil or devil and its minions. White or black magic, both can be used for evil as well as for good. However, it is the latter that people practise magic. Morever, it is highly dangerous to do such things, to dabble in the unknown. The best is to stay away.
Uhm no... that's what god is supposedly doing. Blaming everyone for the mistake of ONE individual in a long gone past.
God, blaming everyone? Is that a fact? Or did you come up with it?
We've discussed this matter before and I don't think we'll ever agree, but here goes... In the hypothetical (!) case that god indeed exists: he's responsible for the mess, since he created us. You'll probably say that it's because he gave us free will. Fair enough, but he's the one who gave us free will, so it's still his responsibility. Not mentioning the fact that he's an accessary, since he stood idle during the whole process.
Uh, in the first place the essence of free will, meaning he should not stick his hands in to reverse the obvious wrongdoings around the world. After all, it is up to us to sustain survival and not just depend on him to offer us everything. That would make us mere lazybums who wait for everything to be handed over to them. It is his creation, however, it is our own responsibilty for this mess now. As people have inquired and posted, God is outside the plains and realm of time itself, for the history and the future to him have come to pass, the end has come for him, while we await as the process of time keeps going on. It has all been done. All gone over with. Do you expect God to help you with everything, to give you anything you need. If it would be as such, I find no purpose to live at all. Are you by any chance traumatised by any event that causes you to reject God as such?
he's responsible for the mess, since he created us.
Like anyone else, your blaming him for the mess. Have you not participated in the mess? We are not perfect either.
If it turns out that god does not exist I think the world would be alot more peacefull which would do us all some good.
There was a period of time I was an atheist, I rejected the idea of God as much as Roel did. If there was no God, life wouldn't be worth much living. After all you can do anything you want to, if you aren't happy, you can just die and nothing happens. But in either case, I believe in salvation, I want to be saved.
Interesting point,
I however diagree, this is based on the fact that i donot belive in a god but i still live my life in a fairly nice sort of a way , I donot steal or cheat on people for example you could say i am moral in my life, the point i was making was that you would not have such things as suicide bombers or religious cults or wars. as an athiest i seem only to see the down side of religeon on the news, although i am sure it gives people alot of good.
Do you know that some criminals are religious men themselves? Why do priests commit immoral acts? Why do those people living in muslim countries want to kill their fellowmen? Religion or not, everyone has their own set of morals, it is still up to them to obey it or just go cynical.
I do understand your sentiments, and it is unfortunate that many "murderers" use religion as guise. They would still do whatever they want since belief in a God isnt slowing "them" down much. The suicide bombers probably would still be doing their thing, regardless of religion anyway.
Please please, those murderers are not believers of Allah, they have their own set of Islam which is called Contemporary Islam, it uses the word of Jihad to make war to others. Jihad in other words, has been misused by this people to kill innocents.
We too used to play jokes like that when we were younger.
I had my experiences too, although it could be illusion as I was half awake. Sometimes I would hear whispering voices in somelike japanese when I'm sleeping outside the living room. Or I would hear the television turned on, usually I'll just ignore it. But the last time I checked, there was no one outside too, pretty creepy. But anyway, ghosts can be created by the temperature, our state of mind and the environment, as well as the humidity etc. That's what makes haunted houses so scary. But in another case, ghosts are usually seen as manifestations of imagination. I never did saw one.
