Bob, you just made a commentary.

Bob your opinion is your opinion obviously most of us disagree.

This is one of the stupidest questions imaginable.
Not worth any commentary.

Thank you.

The SOLUTION TO ALL THIS POLUTION IS EVOLUTION:

But in a sense it is R.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N. and

Yet Only an intelligence G*R*E*A*T*E*R than that of the "SATAN" can BREAK (or decode) the "Riddle Of The Devil!"

Please read further for a REALITY understanding. Thank You all!

CARBONIZED, PLASMATIC & MAGMA-TRICULATED LIFE-FORM. Hence LIFE-IS-A-MIRACLE and there is ZERO SIN ABOUT BIRTH and that is contrary to ALL ancient belief systems in our advancing world.

It is true that we were molded by some mysterious Invisible Power via Heat/Cold, Gas & particles billions of years ago and that we indeed cometh from ash and ash we goeth for another cycle of a miracle form, Like from a Caterpillar to Butterfly in tune with Mother Natures elegance.
When we die, we go to the "Non-Gravitational Place" and thus into the Photonic light Spectrum and we get squeezed into the frequency grid of IT and aligned, between the lines, for another Holy Heart Beat experience. I got goose bumps and I get high when I talk about the Lord, my Almighty ECLAT :-)

Yes, It is also inevitable that Grandma-Sun, Space-Ship Mother-Earth, Sister Moon, Brother Mars, Even Grandpa Milky way Galaxy et al, will go the way of Dinosaur & Fossil, for another recreation of any formation for another HEURISTICAL existence via TRANSFINITY a/k/a REALITY. :-)'

Another interesting conclusion is that we die every moment and are reborn, come back to life again and again from moment to moment. "If time does not come in bundles it's the only thing that doesn't" I read somewhere, guess where. Quantum physics needs a "particularized" time added to it's formulation.

The distance from earth to heaven in space is zero and just a silly nanosecond or much less in time. To get from this world to other worlds one must travel not in space but in time. Is this where UFOs come from, time and not space?

We're almost there. All that is left to notice is time, the key ingredient in existence. Then Norrie's Buddhist metaphysics becomes physics. And, we can give life to more life after this one but only in our imaginations. Where have I heard that before?

Oh yeah, now I remember, http://www.hoax-buster.org It's a "mental" thing called the "nebol bridge" that joins this world to the next world. And, that next world is not a spirit, bodiless world. It's just like this one.

That philosophy goes all the way back to ancient Egypt. From it springs heaven and hell yielding the trinity of life. This world, the next world joined to this one by the nebol bridge and hell, the third leg of the trinity that is at the bottom of all beneath the nebol bridge.

The tap root of the three great faiths is in ancient Egypt. The problem with the three great faiths is a lack of understanding of their roots. Yes indeed, it's the same God, Pharaoh that all worship, honor, adore and glorify for it is Pharaoh that invented hell. Take hell away and the three great faiths become speachless.

I should have added:

And if there is no God, you won't be around to be aware you don't exist.

It is easy to read between the lines of your essay to see its REAL meaning: You are afraid of death approaching for you. By engaging in mindless activities --such as video games -- you wonder whether you are wasting your precious time left?

And the answer is: Yes. You need to get out, enjoy life, smell the roses, and be happy now.

Don't worry about tomorrow. If there really IS a God, he or she wouldn't be so petty to judge you by whether you were born into the right belief system. The latter view is the invention of ancient, petty priests.

INteresting I will Celebrate my 34th anniversary this September 1st. Yet I believe imaginatin had far less to do with it than a resolute decision on my part and that of my beloved wife to refuse to keep score!

Ba'al - you say, "I have been repeatedly struck by the humanity of the Episcopal essays in this series. Many of these are from people I think I would like to know."

Yes, Ba'al - I know some Episcopal clergy and they are lovely, sophisticated, intelligent and thoughtful people. I urge you get to know some of them and then to push them in the direction of Christian Humanism. I think many are already there in their hearts, but would have to figure how to finesse it with parishioners and the church hierarchy.

Just think how great it would be if the Episcopal church could keep all their fabulous music (much borrowed and preserved from the Roman Catholic church) and even the incense, why not? And drop all the supernatural stuff that many of them don't believe in anyhow.

A lot of parishioners don't either, they just go along for the ride, because there are so many other benefits of membership. It's a big game of "Don't ask, Don't tell" that's got to end somewhere. Now that the church has firmly planted its feet in the future, by rejecting the Anglican’s communion offer to reconsider their accepting stance on gays, it’s time to really move ahead to Christian Humanism.

Greetings & Hello World:

Dear Brother & Sisters on Space Ship Tellus & elsewhere; ATTENTION ALL HANDS:

There is nothing like a good Philosophy right? So:

LET HISTORY BE OUR JURY!

Before you start please say, “Thank You my Holy heart Beat. Praise SOURCE ONE. Peace n Love to ALL MANKIND”. Note: To “Pray” means to SPEAK to G-d and to “Meditate” is to LISTEN to the Lord. So Happy every Day folks. :-)'

P.R.E.A.M.B.L.E:
Today, the struggles and infighting over a name for IT (G-d) will slowly but surely go POOF-TIME, and then and only then will there be Genuine F.R.E.E.D.O.M of THOUGHT on SPACE-SHIP MOTHER EARTH and beyond for HAPPYNESS, WORLD PEACE, HEALING OF THE NATIONS, VERY LONG LIVES, ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT in GRIDARIAN DEMOCRACY via the Global VOTARY ASSOCIATION(S) and enjoyment via our FUTURE BOUND MINDS and for our SPACE FORTH ACTIVITIES & beyond.

(1) In the Beginning of the DUE TO BE: (Utero)

ECLAT said, In my TRANSFINITY (reality) Let there be TEMPERATURE (Time) and, let therein and thereof, Space Forth ALL my PHOTONS (Light), and G-d saw that this was RIGHTEOUS.

(2) Then ECLAT said, let there be my HOLY HEART BEAT, so that I may spread thyself in ALL the lights and in ALL places via my vibrations as testament of my eternal LOVE .

(3) And ECLAT said, Unto my ether, I Command there be scattered from my abode ALL my 127 ATOMICS, and ECLAT saw that this was pure as the matter of TRUTH.

(4) Then ECLAT said, Let there be my ETERNITY AVOIDING LONLINESS so that I may Create, Destroy, and Recreate again and again ALL the Inanimate things, and the Almighty saw that this was indeed GOOD. THEN:

(5) ECLAT said, Let there be a UNIVERSE and my CONSTITUTION therein and thereof , as thou LAWS OF THY NATURE, and transcribe forever my Clauses so that thee creature may always know that nothing shall be external to Dominion nor can anyone escape my BRILLIANCE BURSTING FORTH. (Space Expansion from Absolute HEAT towards Absolute COLD) THEN:

(6)ECLAT said, Let there be TRANSFINITY (Reality) so that ALL may form via my 9 Dimensions, as thyself, and ECLAT was HAPPY. THEN:

(7)ECLAT said, Let there be my MAGMATRICULATION so that out of this WARMTH there may arise LIFE forms via thy CHEMISTRY so that I will adjoin, move about and EVOLVE into a variety lot as my ANIMATE creatures, and they shall have my Inanimate things as objects within their temporary WORLD for them to enjoy, at my WILL so they may know me as thy SELF.

ALL this CHEMISTRY (draw/erase/redraw) took 4.98 Billion LIGHT YEARS of HUMATE time to create..

SECRET: The "DUE-TO-BE" is where ECLAT contemplates WHAT TO DO NEXT. All this mysterious work takes place in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th Dimension. This place is EXCLUSIVE TO G-D ITSELF. Now, this 5th Dimension is the very place or spot where our known "Visible Light Spectrum" emanates from and this is also the very INTERFACE ,where Lord G-d ITSELF, bridges our REALITY of IT through us. Important: IT is the here, the now & the thereafter where LIFE/Birth is ITSELF released . And where Death Returns!

Hence, We & the Microbial do coexist and of course we are BORN, LIVE & DIE as Carbon Life-Forms, only in the 6th, 7th, 8th & 9th dimensions NOW! This is your NEW PHILOSOPHY. Praise THE LORD! Eeeee Haaaa. Holy No Man. :-).

AND THIS IS THE BEGGINING OF THE END FOLKS! :-)'

Lets WALLASHALLOHM! Ya Ole!

I have been repeatedly struck by the humanity of the Episcopal essays in this series. Many of these are from people I think I would like to know.

Ann O. Thank you - I turned to the comments this AM because I found myself thinking that I probably should have made the empathy point in a more forceful manner. You have made it for me with fine clarity.

Fr. Anderson says: I sometimes wonder if the immediate sensate nature of modern life isn’t leading to the gradual decay of imagination. After an hour spent playing games on the computer, I realize that past, future, and imagination have been parked and forgotten on a remote shelf of my brain.

Ann O. replies: Fine observation, Fr. Anderson. It has huge ramifications. Things happen so fast on those dumb games that the kids don't have enough time to imagine what might be happening within his "opponent" in the game. His opponent is simply one object among others.

The Piagetian psychologists find that if we cannot *imagine* the experiences of other people -- if we cannot put ourselves in their place, then we cannot possibly develop empathy for them. And if we have no empathy for them we cannot develop a conscience. Put another way, without imagination we cannot understand why violence against a person is usually wrong.

Ann O.

There was a time when the solar system did not yet exist. I suppose that is not any more scary than the time after it no longer exists. At least that's what I try to tell myself.

In the mean time, though, it would be nice if our species would behave in a way that prolongs our existence a bit more.

Father Anderson,

The Buddhists have it right: be fully present in the present moment.

In that state, there is no past or future.

In that state, things take care of themselves.

Perfectly.
