Is there a God? If so, what is She like?

I would think that the lack of photos of women solders abusing POW or corpses might have something to do with the relative number of active women solders in the military.
Such photos would be evidence of group mind.

Ok, so no evidence of this aligned brain-wave thingy amplitude then. Just made-up 'scientificcy' waffle.

If the question is 'why congregate to pray' the answer is simple, because you're not a Christian and have not listened to Jesus.

No you fools. It is not about 'prayer' it is about 'praise' and learning of the buy bull stuff, and eating of the eucharist in a form of ritual - prayer is moreso at times of solitude.

Can i end this ridiculous thread also?

And yet every church I've been in says, 'Let us pray'?

Nope. Those that left were the killjoys and well rid of them we were.

Got any more scientificcy waffle to add?

And the ones who were left would fight, as long as the Americans were in front of them.

Sure, i'm not saying there is no prayer - but the churches i have attended - singing praise and learning a few tit-bits from the buy bull is more prevalent.

A bwave Bwit would not fear.

Sheesh. One question buys a whole passel of questions.
Must be the exchange rate.

Fogging the question could be British.
Get it? Foggy.
(And the original question goes unanswered.)

Congregation inspires the attitude of service. And, often it is true that the church will handle the details of that for you through their convenient in-house financial services.

Rest assured that your generous lump-sum donations will be distributed according to the tenets of the faith, as interpreted by the church officials. There are many needy poor in most every community, a least where the folks go to church. In this way the use of your time and talents is maximized so you can earn money, to make more donations, to help more of the poor.

It’s a service so that you can do your moral and ethical duty to humanity without too much muss or fuss.

Will that donation be plastic, or cheque?

So, what’s wrong with that?

No, it’s not that.

You see, I already know how to ask questions, as we can see by the question I asked.

However, you do not know how to answer a question, as we can see by your non-answers and evasions.

The question is adequately explained in the posting, along with the rationale that you don't get to ask endless questions, many of them stupid. Here, this may help.

You could try pretending that you are fulfilling the adult role of answering a question that you engaged in, rather than playing the precocious and bright child full of questions and insults.

Give it a go. The unknown can expand your mind.

That's hysterical coming from you.

What non-answers and evasions? Try using simple English and state your question clearly and plainly rather than the usual sly, coy and coquettish approach you take.

And you could try being less smug most of the time.

If it's unknown it won't be expanding anything. :roll:

Rather odd. Silly answers sillify that line-by-line form.

Some folks can play dumb forever.

"That's hysterical coming from you."
- Life can be so unfair when you strive to ape what you perceive to be the cause of your hysteria, if you wanna get rational. :wink:


- The posting began:
“Let me ask you a thoughtful question.”


- Then the question was asked:
“Do you think that these people would have developed the same cavalier and callous attitudes … or do you think that in isolation, they would not have even done the work?”


- In between was sufficient information for you to answer the question, instead of looking for ways to distract. One method is to stonewall until you can ask: At this point, what difference does it make?

- It’s not my job to feed you.

- No need to ask what it is you do here.
It’s obvious.


Maybe it’s just a cultural thing.

- American’s do have the spirit of self-reliance, of looking within for answers, of thinking for oneself rather than wandering around asking questions from everyone met, like a lost boy.

- This makes Americans the Supreme Philosophers.
