Well we will never really know if God exists and must rely on faith that he does.
With the Quantum and String Theory discussed in NOVA and NOVA on You Tube, it becomes
almost over whelming to the point of unconsciousness to grasp it all.
But then surely.....there is something out there, bigger than our little brains could ever understand or muster.
I know I had a dream where I wanted to meet with God.
They put me in this elevator and I went up and up and passed out.
I never did get to him.
He was so far away and only he could see and know me.
Not the other way round.I'd have to die a thousand deaths to reach him and we are told we only have three chances to do it right so.....
I didn't need String Theory or Quantum Physics to understand this.
In fact, reading up on all these new mathematical proofs scientists need to answer questions, to the answer to everything, I have to laugh.
I think man was born with inbuilt answers. He knows, deep inside his soul,
all the answers.He knows he can't handle the answers and depends on God.
A name we give to something we don't understand or ever will understand.
That's why we need faith, because it's just too big for us.
So instead, we have to lighten it all up and rely on jokes.
God doesn't really care, who we are. We are all the same to him. People, men,
a human race and how we survive here, between ourselves on this planet, is what will speak to him. He knows man wants to be free through what happened to Adam and Eve.
He would not impose anything other, upon mankind. If he doesn't, then why does man do it to man?
If you don't let people learn through life and living, then how are they to learn?
When it comes to respect,it means also to respect those who do not respect others.
lol Understand that one.
The things we find so important, like clothes, sex, marriage, adultery, homosexuality etc...to him, are inconsequential .
They are important only to man and how he lives and survives between mankind. It is always good to be Conservative where respect is concerned.That much, time has taught us.
What God says to do in the 10 Commandments, is in our best interest, not for him, as he gave us a brain and said: Use it to do the right thing. In case you are confused,this is the right thing.The 10 Commandments are not laws. They are just a guide to the truth of survival.
No matter how much we fight, we see, in the end that God is right.
He is always right with his basic 10 Commandments.
We live in orderly chaos.
Order, has to exist somewhere or material things suffer.
Wood, to last, must be kept either alive or dry and preserved.
For man, another set of order exists for survival.
Obey it and physical life is prolonged.
Disobey it and physical life shortens.
In the end we have no choice. In the end, we have to depend on something more powerful and understanding and smart, to pull us out of physical self destruction. Man loves his physical life. He hates to leave it in spite of all the heart aches.
To ensure God understands this, we have to show we are worthy.
Have a good one

On hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Susan went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95-year-old grandmother and comfort her.
When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning."
Horrified, Susan told her grandmother that two people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble.
"Oh no, my dear," replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding, and out on the Dong."
She paused, wiped away a tear and then continued, "and if that damned ice cream truck hadn't come along, he'd still be alive today
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A little girl was sitting on her grandfather's lap as he read her a bedtime story.
From time to time she would take her eyes off the book and reach up to touch his wrinkled cheek. She was alternately stroking her own cheek, then his again. Finally, she spoke up, "Grandpa, did God make you?"
"Yes, sweetheart," he answered, "God made me a long time ago.
"Grandpa, did God make me too?"
"Yes, indeed, honey," he said, "God made you just a little while ago."
Feeling their respective faces again, she observed, "God's getting better at it, isn't he?"

This guy walks into a bar in Alabama and orders a white wine spritzer.
Everybody sitting around the bar looks up, surprised, and the bartender looks around and says: "You ain't from around here, are ya... where ya from, boy?"
The guy says, "I'm from Iowa."
The bartender asks, "What th' sam hill ya do in Iowa?"
The guy responds, "I'm a taxidermist."
The bartender asks, "A taxidermist... now just what th' sam hill is a taxidermist?"
The guy says, "I mount animals."
The bartender grins and shouts out to the whole bar, "It's OK boys, he's one of us!"

A little girl walks into a pet shop and asks in the sweetest little lisp:
"Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep wittle wabbits?"
And the shopkeeper gets down on his knees, so that he's on her level, and
asks: "Do you want a wittle white wabby or a soft and fuwwy black wabby or
maybe one like that cute wittle brown wabby over there?"
She in turn puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says in a quiet
voice: "I don't fink my pyfon really gives a shit!" _

A kindergarten teacher had a pupil tell her he had found a frog. She inquired as to whether it was alive or dead.
"Dead," she was informed.
"How do you know?" she asked.
"Because I pissed in his ear," said the child, innocently.
"You did WHAT?!?" squealed the teacher in surprise.
"You know," explained the boy, "I leaned over and went 'Pssst' and he didn't move."
This was very interesting to read and watch, I have never heard about this and it is intriguing to me, as I am a scientist. Having been contemplating the issue of life and death recently in a more deeper manner, it was a great read today.;) Thnak you for the laughs as well, have a great week, xoxo
Zuzana - God always intrigues me as does science. I like to read up on it when I can. Nova had some great programs on the universe and the 11 dimensions , string and gravity theory how time does not exist and we could be illusions ourselves. Things have changed since Newton and Einsteins time. Its all very mind blowing. I especially was interested when they said that after the big bang,the universe is expanding faster and not slowing down so gravity is either too weak of maybe gravity is stronger and pulling from somewhere else and if this is into a black hole or worm hole which solidifies to such an extent so as to make another big bang........can you even imagine all this happening again and again.
Akelamalu - you are right but with so many people arguing, every little bit to stand by his side is a good thing. You don't do it for you. You do it for your kids, for you community and for you country. You do it to live your life with dignity and honor instead of raising children to be taught that everything is ok. This philosophy , that everything is ok, is very damaging to traditional families and when you let things go thinking everything is ok, you find out pretty quickly that its not. Then you pass the buck blaming it on other things instead of the real reasons.
We were given a gift of life . Life is truly a miracle as is this planet which promotes it. We attribute these gifts to be from God and as a human race interested in humanity, we have to show God we were worthy of his gift.

There are so many gods, which one is the right one ? I think that's a personal question.
The joke with the old couple is great, lol !
If you KNOW inside, you don't need proof. :)
Gattina - there is only one God.
Akelamalu - you are right but with so many people arguing, every little bit to stand by his side is a good thing. You don't do it for you.
You do it for your kids, for you community and for you country.
You do it to live your life with dignity and honor instead of raising children to be taught that everything is ok.
This philosophy , that everything is ok, is very damaging to traditional families and when you let things go thinking everything is ok, you find out pretty quickly that its not. Then you pass the buck blaming it on other things instead of the real reasons.
The pet shop joke cracked me up!
I like the fact that you give us something very deep and profound to think about, and then give us things to smile about.
Thanks Mama Zen and George.
