My faith has been shaken; a cry out fo help

......LOL........LOL.....guffaw.......guffaw...... ...yes oh yes....*wiping away tears of laughter*....this thread has surely gotten interesting.......

...not too sure where the "speaking on behalf of God" idea came from. Speaking personally, I have NO figurehead attached to my spirituality. But...
What I meant by my "Cartpe Diem" comment was only that 'IF' (pretty sure I've been consistenly clear with this word) such a being existed, one could surmise that rather than enjoying an endless discussion as to whether his existence is the crucial catalyst to human idealogy, this 'God', endowed with whatever characteristics each person has assigned Her/Him/Unisexual Being, is more likely to wish a peaceful co-existence concentrating upon each days positive potential , rather than positive energy being wasted bickering about the endless possibilities of his existence.......and what it all means. OOps.....am I speaking for 'god' again? CARPE DIEM my friends...

Baddad, since you speak on behalf of God . . .



. . . does Jesus want me for a sunbeam?

Ahh well, He works in mysterious ways . . .

Scher: you just hush up . . .

*hushes up... for the timebeing*
*wonders if Basil has some KitKats to offer*

No KitKats, but I got a Hershey'sTM Special Dark Mildly Sweet Chocolate Bar for Christmas!

*is NOT choosey*
I will take the Hershey's as I hear they are really good... On second thought I will take the other one as well as I like dark chocolate...

Actually, that is just one chocolate bar, Scher!

And it's mildly sweet . . . just like me! ;)

Oh, all that long name and just one chocolate?? Bah! I bet the chocolate bar is not long enough for them to write the whole thing on! :rolleyes:

Not anymore, it's not!

Sometimes I wonder why people don't make fuss about the difference of skin colors among people throughout the world. I can't tell which one is the greatest and if I could/did then people would surely scold me on behalf of humanity. Aren't religions share the same characteristic?

*loves Scher's and Basil's bickering* :D:D:D
And my choc bar is WAY bigger than yours, dear Basil! :D And I'm just about to make it a history! And no one's getting a piece! *ha, gotcha* :p:D... well... uhm... okok, you can both have a half and I'll keep the third half, ok? :goof:

SubT, in a way, yes. If people are talking about discrimination they mentiong religion, color of skin, sexual orientation, nationality, minority... it's all about discrimination, I could discriminate you for your biiig eyes and sharp teeth because they're different from mine ;) and I don't like it/am afraid/offended/whatever the usual excuses are.

..uhhh.....Subby............skin colour has been discriminated against since time began. wintness South Africa (aparteid) , United States of America-England-Canada-Spain-Portugal-Et al until recent times (slavery). While psychologists suggest that any race different from one's own triggers responses adapted in millenium past ( E.G. studies show that members of one race rarely are able to distinguish an individual amongst another race, yet instantly recognize that a person is not of their own race. I am sure you've heard the term "they all look alike" referred to members of races other than your own. These studies show that this recognition factor is a universal phenomenom). I'm not suggesting that discrimination because of skin colour should be acceptable, but is instead flagrantly universal...............and completely ugly to witness.

I know baddad, but people make more fuss for religious belief that skin colors..
