matersfish Something I think makes the last paragraph there extremely plausible is the fact that a "god" always seems to carry the traits of the individual carrying the god, and that god is subject to change as the individual changes. It seems it would be the other...

bobmnu The scary thing is that during the Civil Rights movement and the Viet Nam anti War Protests there were people in the government who advocated such action. It is not a political party thing because these Ideas were discussed under President Nixon (R) and under...

bobmnu The biggest problem is that the government does not trust the people to make the right decision. If a person (25 years old) were to take the money they pay into SS now and invest half in secure bonds (Tax Free US Treasuries, municipal bonds etc) and half in...

matersfish This is always the case - it's always ONE PERSON offended that brings in a sweeping change. And let's be honest. They're not really friggin' offended. They feing offense because they can, because they'll be listened to and catered to. Here's what I have to...

Revan2009 I'm always a nice person and I agree with you. I don't understand why there must be so many angry and disrespectful people on myLot, I mean whatever their issues are, they certainly cannot be solved on here.

cannibal I can't say outright that I don't believe in God. It all depends on how you define God. If it's the extra-cosmic, supposedly omnipotent creature who controls us like puppets on strings and judges us in the afterlife capriciously, then please excuse...
