Don’t knock it. My dad was a HUGE D&D fan. He wasn’t one who suffered from severe depression if his character died… but he ran campaigns with a few people who did.

rando and pitty—you guys are two of the good ones. I completely get what you both say and I agree and disagree on different levels. How’s that for wishy washy?
As to the actual existence of god or gods, I can’t say yes or no. There may well be. I simply do not know. I have, like you both and many others, also had experiences of a different type of consciousness (not drug induced) for which I have no rational explanation.
There is , however, one particular and specific incident in my life which absolutely convinced me once and for all that if there is such a creature, he simply does not listen and cares less and may even be a bit petty and malicious. It also indirectly put the final nail in the coffin of organized religion for me due to a connected incident. I don’t care to relate this incident just now as it is unbearably painful even nearly 20 years after the fact. Maybe in a future thread. Till then, please you guys, bear with me if I get a bit vitriolic on this subject on occasion. Sometimes the words fly out before the thinking. I’ve gotten to like this place and its denizens and I’d hate to piss anybody off too badly, OK? Well….except maybe for Dhoti, eh?….but then, that’s what he wants, innint?

Some days I do feel enlightened by faith, pitty. Other days I wonder if I still believe out of desperation. I think I still do believe, though. If I didn’t believe in God, I wouldn’t be so angry at Him, so I guess that’s a starting point. But even the nuns at the hospital where my daughter was born said it was okay to be angry at God, because no matter if “God has a plan” or “everything happens for a reason,” we still pretty well got fvcked over. But enough about that. How about that giant bag of Jiffy Pop that flew around on TV for a while?

i take it you don’t know anyone named bubba or boss hogg? those stereotypes exist along with carpetbaggers and many other nasty, self-centered types which is why the feds stepped in to stop a lot of the individual state rights – such as poll taxes, or the nifty one where if your grandparents were slaves, you couldn’t vote, or if you didn’t own the land you farmed you couldn’t vote, or the taxes that were paid by the landowners went only to the schools where their children attended, but the children of the sharecroppers went to the ‘colored’ school and got little if any tax money….. for a carolinian, you are very ignorant of your history…

I’ve been through all kinds of ringers, Rando. Bad ones. And on occasion I’ve tried to reach out to some kind of deity or whatever. Truth be told, I got answers. Much to my astonishment. Followed by periods of time where I felt a kind of enlightenment. This has also happened when I was reasonably content but searching for something deeper.

I understand Rachel’s suggestion to “talk to God.” I’m just poking fun at her naivete. As if no one has ever questioned her Jesus or her Bible. As if no one has ever had a spiritual experience outside of her tiny belief system. And do I think I’ve heard from God? Maybe. Or maybe it was a deeper, wiser part of myself. Or maybe I had some other kind of spiritual awakening for some reason.

Scientists just discovered a 9 million mile “ribbon” of particles in a magnetic field at the edge of our solar system. They have no idea what it is. It’s an amazing discovery, and once again, we are reminded that we know so very little …

brak–Believe me, with the heartache my family has suffered this year, I’ve asked myself a great number of the same questions from your longer post up there. Frankly, if you asked me WHY I believe in God, I probably couldn’t give you an answer. I don’t know why I do. I just do. But keeping the faith is hard in rough times. Some people turn to faith in time of trouble. Mostly, I just feel abandoned by it.

@Rachel….
*ahem* Excuse me….Mr. God sir? Why are we here?
*silence*
Er,…which religion, if any, most closely adheres to and promotes your desires for our conduct and well being?
*no answer*
Ok…..umm…How can we best overcome our baser nature and become better, more loving and tolerant beings?
*nothing*
Are you there?
*Nothing*
Are you listening?
*Nothing*
Do you give a rat’s ass?
*More of same*

Any other ideas dear?

And I wasn’t talking about Jesus. I was talking about The Big Guy Himself choosing a Really Big Unmistakable way to speak to us kindly, without all the fire and crap, and set us back on the right path…a cosmic Fireside Chat, as it were. We need guidance, not destruction. Wouldn’t you give this to your own children? Why all the mystery and misconception?

As I’ve said before. Star Trek’s Communism is TECHNOLOGICAL, not socioeconomic.

It’s only practical because there is no scarcity… because a few people saw how they could get RICH by developing things like cheap power sources, resource extraction, replicators, and warp drive.

The fact that everybody ELSE got rich too was only a fortunate side effect… the USUAL side effect of technological innovation.
