Faith is a beautiful thing. It is nice to have. For a person to know that he or she is enjoying God's grace is uplifting and exhilarating. Just like love. But it's stupid.

Why are all the nice, beautiful, and lovely things in this world all sooo very stupid? I don't like that.

Like the lilies, and the birds. Are they smart? No they are not. Are they stupid? Yes, they are. Yet they, and cute puppies and young kittens are all much-much lovelier than a 60-year-old retired, old and grumpy, flat-footed gumshoe of a calculus teacher.



Ahhh, disagree, Wux, I find such great beauty in the wrinkly antique containers ...

Mere opposite end pts. of the same lineage of youth's beauty, you remark of ... and such wisdom as out of a babe's mouth ... albeit often laced w/ the bitter taint of life's heart broken wear and tear, defeat and regret, and etc...

'Stupid' is such a harsh term, and for me most inaccurate in describing almost anything, much less the highest qualities noted ...

... Pleasure ... upliftment, exhiliration, faith (in whatever floats and individual's boat)?

ALWAYS intelligent choices in that they heal, hence fortifiy survival ... Nature wants lineage ...

Subjectivity is an amazingly differential through the various rose coloured lenses ...

All works of fiction ...

It really ALL boils down to personal belief systems, not perfect (unattainable!) knowledge, but imaginary constructs established for each individual's bettered ability to cope and make sense, be strong, survive and take pleasure along the hard slog ...

You have one, I have on, everyone does and they will always differ ... As will each describing the same 'colour' ...

And consider the source, I 'believe' there to be a form of inherent consciousness in every molecule and the macro/microsm contained therein ... Though I'm loathe to believe the various types of consciousness necessarily bear great similarities ... Although they just might ...

I do not 'believe' any one or thing has 'knowledge', divine or otherwise ... It is always on the move, just beyound full grasp, and always will be ...

'No right, no wrong', all up for a 'proving' that can be torn right back done again into yet another 'disproving', and so it rolls on out forever ...

I venture to guess that lily just might be 'smarter' than all of us combined ...


Edit ... It really is ALL mere 'majikal thinking' ...

Through the misunderstandings, confusion, miscommunication, insults, defense and offense, bicker or banter ...

I find myself only brought closer through empathy ...

We are all more alike than different ... We are all connected ...

And Funches? I've a feeling I'd really like you in person and we'd never stop mutually brain storming ...

(Of course, hmmmm, I'd wanna be sure and meet ya in an enviro sans television... :tongue: )

So, for my part? I'd like to reiterate ... I love to discuss, thoughtscape, guess and dream ... As abstract as it can be towards fantasy construction ...

It is all an elusive illusory delusion that enthralls ... I love to work w/ clay and see what we sculpt ...

flowerforyou ... I would an abiding peace, love, joy and connection for us all ... :heart:

I would also there be NO organized religions, just the Family of Earth ...

Corny, but true - This works for me:

I have a dream, a song to sing, to help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of the fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels, something good in everything I see
I believe in angels, when I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy, to help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels, something good in everything I see
I believe in angels, when I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing, to help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels, something good in everything I see
I believe in angels, when I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream

well if there was a god i'd like to know if he's standing in front of me for only one reason.....
to ask him a very deep and philosophical question.....the question being....
"what the hell is the platypus about?" seriously its like a beaver and duck squashed together, a mammal that lays eggs? were you smoking your own green?

The duck-billed platypus is also capable of chlorophyll-production, and live off the air and water via turning water and carbon dioxide molecules into sugar, using the energy of the sun's rays. Some biologists believe, those who study particle (or practical?) physics, that the platypus colony living in the Chigga-Rigga region, a completely dried-up river valley in New South Wales, has solved the unification of the General Relativity theory with quantum mechanics, using the simple but elegant equation of Muench's constant's derivative integrated into the Burgouise-Fabriccio series.

Wux is on fire and Dancere’s dancing
the platypus colony’s slowly advancing
The Chigga-Rigga is filling with water
soon there will be a platypus slaughter

The new quantum theory is filled with black holes
with unification at each of its poles
the derivatives cancel with elegant grace
and the race for string theory becomes a disgrace

Einstein rolls over in his relative grave
Niels Borh’s probabilities refuse to behave
The red river valley at the south tip of Wales
is the last thing we see in this strangest of tales

Faith appears to fall more into the realm of delusion ...people seem to believe that if they utter the word faith that things magically come true.. some would call that practicing witchcraft and some would say that claiming to have faith is claiming to be God ....

and the reason why people are drawn to faith may not be because they actually have faith in a God or they believe in the existence of a God but because the illusion of faith may have some evolutionary value ...

perhaps faith is the way nature will force the brain to rewire itself so that it can consciously control the subconscious evolving Man into God which would explain why some humans seek out Gods, but of course the advacements in technolgy will eventually phase out faith, God and evolution

the phrase use to be "with God anything is possible" ... it has now become "with technology nothing is impossible"

so a question that can be posed to God is....are you a God only because you can consciously control your subconscious or a God due to the manipulation of technology

I do the back beat... you, Bra, the lyrics and lead sing; and Dancere, the lyrical dancing of course.

We'll call ourselves the "Very (Meta) Physical Physics Trio". I am open for suggestions for a different name, or for any, actually.

We'll need some molecules to practice, though.

Maybe a platypus or a penguin could be our manager. I'd lean more toward the platypus, 'coz penguins look a lot like nuns, and we want to avoid the image of a gospel singing group or a spiritual blues band. You are allowed to have a spirit, Bra, since you are so hung up on having one (you still have to ask Dancere, if she's okay with that), but none for me thanks, I strictly only do a "just say no" group. Rock'n'Roll is still a go though, as well as that third thing.

You sure do have a lot of faith in the future of technology. That's for sure. Or is it just delusion?

Not quite yet, by a long shot.

However, your faith in technology is obviously quite a bit stronger than most religious people's faith in god. I will grant you that. flowerforyou

perhaps it's delusional that you are using technology to ask me that question ....I guess you rely on faith to believe that your computer exist ...generally people just go to the store and buy one that do exist

What's technology but a rearrangement of a cosmos that already exists? whoa

A rearrangment, I might add, that the universe already did on its own long before we even invented the computer using our brains.

Or did you forget that the universe created computers before we did?

Or maybe you brought your brain at the store just recently? spock

Or was it reposessed due to lack of payments?

J/k kidding big guy. bigsmile

for all you know it could have been technology that created the cosmos

if that is true..then why don't you use the universe to post in the forum instead of using a computer


Or did you forget that the universe created computers before we did?


in case no one told you...a computer is a Man-made device


Or maybe you brought your brain at the store just recently? spock


that would explain why I don't have delusions that a God created it


Or was it reposessed due to lack of payments?


only believers have to pay tithes to keep their "piece" of mind

when Abracadbra speaks of God
he clearly seems mad as hell
he rather play with his magic wand
when fairies and hobbits dwell

he speaks of faith as if it exist
and that it's not a form of delusion
but the point of views that he posts
makes you wonder if he suffered a contusion
