This isn't a religion-specific question because I myself do not conform to organised religion (I like to keep the ideas open), but more of a spiritual one. How do you "top up" your faith and keep it strong? I try really hard to...

mrjburt164 Read The Bible. Investigate It's validity on independent sources. You will find more evidence than you can possibly go through in a lifetime. No, I don't mean sources from the church, Because I know that you will discount them out of hand. Those who try to...

mrjburt164 Man created religion, true, but god created man, & therefore has the perfect right to demand what he will from him.

I am a member of two of the top ones of these, smokers, and old white men. It was my decision to start smoking. After that, free will is diminished, as smoking is a physical addiction, and it is legal, except in designated...

mrjburt164 Yes,you would be the self-rightous type to whom I was referring. I would guess you also get "creeped out" by older people, especially when they try to mix in with younger people. Not to worry, Obama care will eventually eliminate us soon! Which is a...

mrjburt164 I AM NOT a humanist! If humanity had the answers, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in! At their base, Humanists, Atheists, Agnostics, et al, mostly are trying to avoid the issue that there is an all powerful, all knowing creator to whom they will be called to...

mrjburt164 Ya know, you're the first I've hear of secondhand smoke for quite sometime. I agree that others have a right to be free of tobacco smoke but much like global warming, (now referred to as climate change, since we're actually cooling now)I think the risk is much...

I know of a young man who was assaulted indecently by a pastor. The young man sought counselling which he paid for himself. When he contacted the pastor's bosses, they said they wanted to help, but refused to pay anything towards...

mrjburt164 His church's superiors should at least have approached the pastor about this conduct,but without any evidence other than his word, I see nothing else the law, or the church could or should do. It's a sorry state of affairs that we have people in positions...

mrjburt164 I'l bet you can make some time for a short walk or bike ride. Life's too short to just work it away, although most of life is work for most people.
