Oh, don't take it personally. Anyone who posts anything is liable to be pounced upon here. It is just part of the fun.

I try to keep telling myself that when Inuyasha comes down with obsessive compulsive disorder in attacking my posts - and more recently, me personally.

As long as he hasn't followed up on his threat to come and say to your face whatever it was that he was going to say to your face.

I think he lives in Kansas or somewhere, so it would be really funny if he was so obsessive compulsive as to taking a road trip or hopping a plane in order to find me in Washington state. :lol:

Religion is like a two legged crab, it needs to move in another direction instead of going round in circles.
Religion has been with us for over six thousand years, instead of pointing its energy outwards towards myths and fairytales that have no real foundation other than a tool to control the masses, aim inwards towards a greater faith, one where its energy can be put to better use, faith in ourselves.

Only someone ignorant would say mankind knows everything, we have so much to learn about ourselves.

I understood how different I was at the age of six, I understood that there is much more to our being than meets the eyes. I understood at six years old that we do have a spirit. I’m 47 now with a mind that can do all kinds of strange phenomena no one can explain (Scientist)
Instead I’m left with religions who can relate to the fact I have Out of body experiences and that a spirit does exist. So religion believes we have a spirit (But I don’t believe in religion)
On the other hand I believe in science, who don’t have a clue if we have a spirit or not. Life is complicated at the best of times.

At this exact moment I’m a high functioning Aspie. To look at you would say I look normal, folk mock me and say there’s no way you have autism.
At the other end of the scale my mind slows down, when I’m stressed out I become severely autistic and couldn’t even tell you my name. At this end of the spectrum my spirit takes over, I have Out of body experiences and visions.

I could cry sometimes at how frustrating it is talking to so called experts about how the mind really works. How many people are brain washed into thinking we only use 10% of our mind? This is not true at all. It’s a mis-quote by Albert Einstein taken out of contexts during a seminar.
We literally believe in anything without working out for ourselves if it’s true or not.

Religion needs to focus on the big picture, faith in ourselves, religion can be a good thing.

Science needs to pull its head out of its own bum hole and realize they have much more to learn than what they already know.
In 1975 we said that we would be walking on Mars by 2015, we’ve only just managed to keep a robot propped up long enough to scope out its landscape in 2012.

We are so much greater than we can imagine, but boy do we have a lot to learn...

The science of walking on Mars or the Moon existed in 1686 when Newton published Principia Mathematica. The issue here is NOT science. It is technology and its associated costs. The reasons we are not walking on Mars now are:

1. Our propulsion technology which is not far advanced past the Chinese rocket is inadequate.
2. The costs are astronomical.
3. There is no profit in going to Mars to offset the astronomical costs of getting there.

You will notice where there is profit we have lots of space activity. Communication satellites for example. Where there is profit there technology will go and there technology will be.

The Spaniards explored the New World because they expected to bring home gold from the New World. Profit was the motive.

Sex was also a motive. This is not something that our conquistadores will find on Mars.

I remember the medical world telling us that in five years time we will be able to swallow back a liquid they have successfully developed for the cavity’s in our teeth, it fills in the holes and protects our teeth from tooth decay, it was down on the table and ready to go.

This was more than ten years ago, obviously those who give the product the go ahead decided against it, why, because I imagine many businesses would go down the pan, jobs and people connected to the dental industry would be obsolete. It’s the same as the man who invents a small battery that last forever, it’s a useless product if we can’t throw it away and keep producing it, that’s no good in a throwaway society, no profit.
Unfortunately economics is a numbers game, numbers count, especially with the population of the world today.

Whatever happened to for the goodness of mankind?

"Only great people live their life for others, Marie Curie for example. Whilst other people just want to live their life off others...

Were clinical tests run to see if this liquid was both safe and effective?

And we do have such a liquid. Stanous fluride in suspension.

It was trial and tested and ready to go, not that this would make any difference anyway.
In 2002 the world was exposed to a pill that helped smokers give up cigarettes. It had about 30 side effects, none to pleasant. In the same year the pill was still being sold even though it managed to kill 40 people.
Look at the drug used in the 1960s for morning sickness. Thalidomide, look at the damage that did.

Who was 666?

It was a coded prophesy of the candidacy of Herman Cain, and his 999 plan.

Because 777 ate 999 and 666 wanted to eat 999.

Agreed, the Antichrist (as this fellow is usually called) will not come until the end and as I read the times, we are in the very beginning of the end and have been for about half a century. Since (at least in our opinion) he hasn't been born yet, it is a little premature to guess who it is.

As for the mark: the first thing we have to do is determine if we are talking about a number, or a string of numerals (666) as many people believe. That text was written in Greek and would have used Roman numerals; six hundred three score and six (as the King James Bible puts it) would be written DCLXVI.

According to Wikpedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_numerals) ancient Babylon (the biblical center of evil) had a sexagesimal (base-60) positional numeral system, meaning that there were fifty nine characters representing the numbers one to fifty nine (they did not have a character for zero). In any positional numeral system the rightmost character represents base to the zero power, or units; the character to the left of that represents base to the first power, or base. Six hundred sixty six would be written in the Babylonian numeral system as the numeral for eleven followed by the numeral for six ((11x60)+6=666). That would make a very interesting mark that nobody would be looking for; don't you think. :twisted:

Sorry, but you two are doomed.

Revelation 22 wrote:
I, John, solemnly warn everyone who hears the prophetic words of this book: if any add anything to them, God will add to their punishment the plagues described in this book. And if any take anything away from the prophetic words of this book, God will take away from them their share of the fruit of the tree of life and of the Holy City, which are described in this book.


You're adding your own conjectures to the prophetic words of Revelation. That's a big no-no. :shameonyou:
