Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

Maybe so, but i still think the restoration of the old Roman Empire is becoming real with the European Alliance. It is almost fully covered with the euro system. (Which is also prophicied.) Anyway beyond that.

Does god love me, and does he care. Yesterday I watched my dog die. He was old and loved and that morning his heart failed. His name was max and he was a 10 year old Belgium sheepdog. Death didn’t come quickly for him, yes I know he was just a dog, but he was also my friend. For 3 hours he gasped for one last breath, all I could do was hold him and hope that he wasn’t in pain. He fought hard. And when it was all over, I wondered why it had happened. I looked at his body and I realized something, he wasn’t there any more. What was on the floor was what was left behind. I’ve seen death before, close up and personal, but somehow the death of this dumb dog affected me more then any other. I think it was because I know I will be going the same way. The doctors never told me I would end up lieing in some bed gasping. And when it is my time to go, because we all came here with our return tickets punched, will god be merciful and let me go in peace. Who knows, I guess ill find out latter.

You may no tbe saying this but i really hate it when people who "don't believe in God". Then they go and blame God when something is wrong. Really bugs me.
| Quote: |
What really bugs me is what actually happens when someone dies. All your thoughts and inner workings of oyur brain are controlled by electricity in it, but when you die, where does this energy go?
Yet there have been people have had "near death" experiences, and they say their "soul" or "conciousness" was no longer part of their body, they were looking down on themselves.
I wonder if there's any connection....

People also try to connect this with astral-projection. If astral-projection is real, supposively we can see our dead relatives. That's actually kinda freaky in my opinion.

It’s hard to tell if there are any answers in the bible. Have you ever read it, and many other scripture? Most people know what they know from Sunday school and the few days at church that their parents dragged them too.
Do I believe in god? Yes and no. I lost my faith when I was young. I am trying to find it again and am having some success. The first thing I did was throw away my bible and start over. I forgot all the things id been taught and threw away all the preconceptions, I don’t think god would want me to hate any of his creations. Gay-straight-colored-welsh- . If god is out there in some shape or form I will find him, or oddly enough, her. And then I will ask.

The meaning of life. There isn’t one. I can tell you how it ends, you spend enough time in old peoples homes and in hospitals. You begin to realize. Lots of people die alone. They die cold and damaged, a body so ravaged by arthritis the old woman has to lie on a water bed and cant even sit up. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, does that help with Parkinson’s? There are people out there who live in a living hell, a damaged mind can not be fixed, and very few people are willing to talk to old an man who doesn’t know where his wife is and can’t recognize their sons. It gets worse though, its hard to be there when the old man wakes up and he knows where he is and for a few moments knows what’s happened to him. I can’t deal with that.
- The most fucked up thing about all of this, if you live long enough you will become one of these poor souls. After all every one dies, but before that baring injury or illness, you have to get old. I wonder some times if god loves these people. Or if he created life to let it suffer.
Is he out there at all, or did he lose interest when we murdered his son? He hasn’t shown up here in a while, not to any religion.
Life is sacred. And it’s cheap. The meaning of life? Live it and find out. And don’t believe everything people tell you. In the end religious words are just words.

Some strong words. Very well said.

No I wasn’t. I don’t blame god for old age. I am just trying to make sense of all the things that happen. If I wanted to blame god I would have said so.
To think that we are made of the stuff of stars. The atoms in our bodies were created millions of years ago when a star went nova. All the things that came together, every asteroid, every chance collision, from water falling from comets to the first single cell that said 'fuck it-let there be life'. And there was life. All of these came together in the multitude of possibilities to create me. Do you have any idea what the chances were that you were born. So as far as I’m concerned, I’m going to try and figure it out. I'm going to be on this earth for a while. So I need something to do.
I read somewhere that the living world was dreamt in to existence. Sometimes I think that’s true. Maybe we are here because the world, or maybe even the universe started to dream. So are we just a symptom of something larger.
Another thought. Where was I before I was born? And where will I go when I die? Do I rot as a peace of flesh within this body, my brain within my skull. Or do I get to have another turn. When I close my eyes for the last time will I see - Game Over - Continue?
Will I wake up some place else.
Or will I just fade away.
I read in another forum-. 'I died long ago and went to hell, and now I’m here.' It kinda made sense.

There are many theories on what life really is. For example, we are able to think logically and consciously. What exactly enables us to do this? Everything in our bodies is controlled by our brain, which is nothing but an organ that tranmits electrical impulses to our nerves. How do we store memories? How are we able to reason?
These are very intruiguing questions.
Also, I believe that there is a possibility that a celestial being might exist. While it is imposible to tell how our God looks like, or what he can and can't tolerate, we set our own standards on what can be morally right. The Bible, Torah, and Koran are not definite proof that a god exists up there; it is but a bunch of stories that have morals which can be applied to us to make our lives better.
Everything is a theory; God, evolution, plate tectonics, how the universe came to be. We just are not sure, and perhaps that is what makes us unique.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act but a habit. - Aristotle
