You are a very wise man grasshopper. I totally agree!

Enjoy your evening Love!

And they are very LOUD to say the least! I guess it is those that have walked down the same path as I have already done, that understand what I'm doing with. It's painful and you do feel so extremely powerless, the worst feeling in the world. It was hard watching my friend become upset at the people at the Wal Mart we were doing fundraising at because they made up excuses not to give money. It was really heart breaking. But she is a pretty amazing person, I wouldn't know where I'd be today if I wouldn't have met her in high school!

Darlin, Very upset you haven't welcomed me to golo ;)

Good WED morning baby! Happy HUMP day to you and yours sweet thang. You sure do know how to make a woman smile in the morning. I am blushing and feeling very shexxy in my tight black skirt and tighter blue smedium shirt..LOLOLOL..;-)

Enjoy your day sweetness!

I know it is difficult to loose a friend. Also for that friend to have a family, it somehow makes it even more difficult. You just don't know what to say or do. Death is never easy but somehow, young death just seems like a double insult. Hang tough and just be there for the family. You will be surprised at just what your presence will mean

He he he...you are just the sweetest bestest creation since sliced white bread. (no pun intended)...LOL

Enjoy your day Handsome!

Hope all pans out at work okay. If it doesn't....I know you will be okay....you're a smart, dedicated fella....you will be fine. And maybe, this is your "out" of a twelve hour work day, six or seven days a week. EVERYTHING happens for a reason!

I "lost" two jobs in my life. It didn't take more than a day for me to realize it wasn't a "loss". It occurring opened up doors I never knew existed.

You owe me an email, when you get time.

How are your friends doing?

I need an update from ya.....

LOL! don't worry Hili, I didn't take it that way. I'm always searching for good inspirational writings and I am definitely eager to read more of his, if they are anything like the one you posted. That was just awesome! :)

"A UNC grad huh? There is still hope you can be converted and saved =P"

actually, I have nothing against state - it's duke I hate!

Hey man - I'm down for Tylers someday after work. Lemme know when.

"yes...Duke...I live with one of those."

Me too :-)

"Odd creatures they are."

Indeed.

we should start a support group for people like us.

Thank ya, darlin....Now, I feel complete....

Moo? Moo moooo mooooooo moo mo mmooo. Moooo moo mo, moo moooo moo!!!!

SO THERE!

Hope you week is better.

Stopping by for a morning ((((hug)))). Thinking about you lots lately. Hope everything is going ok.

Good Morning,just stopping by to say hello and wish you a good day.

Good Thursday morning sweetness!.

I was at the Soul Picnic a few weeks back and someone had on a t-shirt that read hate is the new love. I thought it was catchy. There is more hate than love for ones brethren on GOLO. I notice you stay out of "drama" and the negative that goes on here. That is good. It just shows what you are about. Lately, it has gotten worse. Stuff is too personal and some have vested in a lot of time on here and have made this place a priority as if it was their reality. I pray it never gets that serious for me and if it does, I will control + alt + delete.

How have you been? Do you have any plans for the weekend?

LOL @ your saying you are from weed, ca...LOL

Where the %&*((^%#^$*$( are you!!!!?????

Let me hear from ya, will ya.

"My real life is so filled with drama it makes me sick. I'll be damned if I get into it on here."

Aint that the truth!

This weekend I am working but I have a good shift and will try to get my work out on. I need to be more committed to the gym and do some hanging out. Trying to relax and just breathe. It is hard to do that when you have so much going on. I was very sorry to hear about your friend. Your plate is full. I hope you manage to take some time for yourself this weekend. Dont forget about you, in the midst of everything else going on.

Hey Hilikus. Saw a football ad the other day and thought of you. I am counting down to ACC basketball!!!

=) back atcha =P

Right back atcha: ♥MUAH♥ Thanks for bringing a smile to my face.

Good morning darlin. Hope your day goes well. You know I really hate that duplicate post message. It is really starting to chap my hide. (((((((((hugs)))))))) and Muah.

Good morning sweetheart! Popped in for a quick hello, saw your blog. I read some of the responses, I loved your question btw. I chose not to respond with my opinion only. Hope you're not offended by that choice. I still feel the need to be private for awhile, hope YOU have an awesome day........MUAH and big hugs!!

Good Morning! Thanks for a great blog.

I enjoy friendly discussions that make me think. I like hearing other people's thoughts and try my best to see where they are coming from.

Cool, thanks for the invite. See ya in there!

Hi Hilikus - I just saw your blog where you asked the question about religion. I hope you don't mind my layman answer:

You are correct in the fact that an entity that exist outside of time would see everything as the present. That is to them it would always be 1942 and 2025. The concept of past and future would be irrelevant. Now for whatever reason we were given free will. Now if this entity would want to make sure that all births would result in a for lack of a better term a "religious person" then no person who would not meet this criteria would ever be born. Therefore the parents of this child could never meet or the birth would have to be nullified somehow. Yet ultimately even these steps interferes with the free will of the parents. So if you give everyone free will then the births of these people will be of their free choice.

I hope that is not to much of a cop out. I have something else but will continue -

In the Apocalypse of Peter (this is not the gnostic gospel of the same name but an Orthodox book), It clearly states that Hell is NOT an eternal punishment of sinners. It is funny because even in the book itself it talks about keeping this secret and this is a major reason why it was not included in the cannon and mostly forgotten. The passage goes like this:

Cont-

There is also a highly contentious section which explains that in the end God will save all sinners from their plight in Hell:

"My Father will give unto them all the life, the glory, and the kingdom that passeth not away, ... It is because of them that have believed in me that I am come. It is also because of them that have believed in me, that, at their word, I shall have pity on men... "

Thus, sinners will finally be saved by the prayers of those in heaven. Peter then orders his son Clement not to speak of this revelation since God had told Peter to keep it secret:

[and God said]"... thou must not tell that which thou hearest unto the sinners lest they transgress the more, and sin."

You're such a dear person. I wish all atheists were like you, but then I wish all Christians were like God says we can be in His Word.

Have a bless weekend dear friend.

God bless.

RB

No worries Hilikus...that was one of the best blogs I have seen in a while...so thought provoking! I am going to read thru it better after I get off work...and am also going to see if I can find some logical responses as well. If you get a chance, though, check out those 2 books...they are really good, from my perspective anyway...and I understand them, even though I am definitely not at their doctoral level!

My pleasure Hili!!!

I am going to answer you question from my perspective that I have reached over my 40 some years and after trying to read all I can on the subject. I am first going to say something that usually gets 99% of the people on GOLO up in arms.

I am not a Bible literalist. There simply is no such place as hell in the Jewish old testament. That is no place of eternal punishment. In fact much of what people think of hell is drawn more from the Greek version of Hades and it's great pit of Tartarus than anything from the New Testament. Other that the book of revelation which is an example of apocalyptic writing of that time and people then would have understood the metaphorical nature of the work.

The new testament does speak of fire yet then as now fire is seen in as an ultimate cleansing of things.

Now to actually answer your question now that you know somewhat from where I am coming. In the end God supports our free will so much that he will allow those that choose not to be with him -

to continue on in their separation from him. Now for a believer this would be a terrible fate. It would have no physical pain, but it would have a spiritual pain. That is why I think the metaphor of punishments varying by the sin is so popular (i.e. Dante's Inferno). It is the idea that a person would be somehow spiritually afflicted with the memories of those things that they put before God. A type of self mental flagellation if you will.

Please... I am just trying to show you how I deal with such things personally. I think a lot of people are in for surprises. Those that talk a good game and fight for a minute of prayer in schools and think that is enough might be shocked by how they are greeted. And then someone comes up who never even believed but treated others as he wanted to be treated, a good and kind person. They might say but I never knew you. Remember when you gave that man food - that was me - welcome home.

Thanks, it is, and so is yours! I need to put the credits in my profile for it...it's by Cliff someone...his work is very unique and compelling. What a photographer!

btw, I am a Christian, and I lean toward the intelligent design theory. Afterall, fossils are evidence of existance past the 5-6000 years chronicled in our bible. So when I read those books I recommended to you...they made absolute sense to me. Have a great weekend and enjoy the cooler weather coming our way!

Have a good weekend. xxoo

*poof*

Let me know when and where to deliver the PJ!

One day we need to have a long talk.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks, Hilikus, something happened today that very rarely happens on GOLO, we had an actual civil debate! I'm glad I was able to be a small part of it and I hope it happens again. You need to be nominated as GOLO debate monitor...... jk

I just wanted you to know that I both appreciate and enjoyed your comments on my blog this morning =)

I was amazed and excited that we all could have that wonderful discussion without calling each other awful name. It reminded me when I first joined up in 07 and was refreshing to hear other person's points of view.

Good morning darlin. (((((hugs))))) Hope you have as good a day as Monday can be. Talk at ya after class. MUAH

Co, GranCo......

I have a secret agent super spy cloak and I don't think anyone will recognize me, what chu think???

I may change my lipstick, that way absolutely no one will know who I am......

Good Morning!

I see you on the golo front page :)

That was a great blog, Hili.

just once in a blue moooooooooo-n.....

Thanks.

Weekend was great. Studied all day on Saturday. Miss you though cause ya not on. Sigh. ((((hugs))))

Weekend was good...got to see some friends (us & the kids), and had a lazy Sunday.

Hou 'bout you?

Well, that's one heck of a way to start off the week....

I told you I was about to get under people's skin. I saw this after my blog.

In certain countries you could be shot for what you wrote, but you live in the USA, so you can just blather away....

I do believe they did not agree with me :)
