Yesterday morning started out bright and sunny, so I decided to go out and take some cheery pictures. Well, a few minor chores later I got in the car and headed out with my camera. Of course by that time the clouds had rolled in and snow was spitting. There was no accumulation, but still…
I was driving down a dirt road and came up on this scene. The gloom had descended on my spirits, and this shot seemed appropriate to my mood. I offer it to you in hopes that it gives you something to rise above. Isn't that what many of us do on a daily basis, or is that just me sitting here in the dark hoping for the sun to rise? Are you depressed yet? You can left click on the image above to see the full gloom of the moment, but not the snow flakes.
I've written a couple of posts recently on why I haven't been churning out posts on a more regular basis. The reasons I gave were valid to a point. But the overarching truth is that I don't have anything to say that seems worth the effort to put into words.
There are things going on in the world that deserve commentary, such as so-called Religious Freedom bill passed by the Indiana legislature and signed by Governor Mike Pence. But you know, so many other people have already written on this subject, and have done it better that I could, that I could not do an adequate job of it. I would probably go down the path of quoting H.L. Menken when he wrote "They themselves, as a practical matter, advocate only certain narrow kinds of liberty — liberty, that is, for the persons they happen to favor." Name calling helps no one, it just enforces one idea and makes enemies of many good people.
And besides, the law was passed by a legislature made up of politicians who were elected by the voting citizens. Whether Indiana's Voters Rights laws make a difference in the make up of the legislature is, perhaps, a separate issue. I suppose I could write about voter suppression and again quote Menken, "Democracy, in fact, is always inventing class distinctions, despite its theoretical abhorrence of them." I don't think my writing would change any minds, especially here in Indiana.
I have to admit that even I, in my darker moods, find Menken's cynicism and misogynistic statements a bit much. I can grin at many of the things that he wrote, and love the beauty of his written words, but I also love uplifting writing as well…in small doses.
But I stray from my original thesis.
Words aren't coming easily to my keyboard, and they haven't for a few months now. I hope that soon they will return because I want to write about two anniversaries, one in April and one in May. Wish me luck.

Zero Balancing sessions are stand-alone treatments or a series builds profoundly. This therapy is practiced through clothes, no undressing required.
It is gentle to receive but potentially powerful in effect, capable of helping a wide range of people at many different levels. The held pressure points and stretches are focused on bones and joints creating repeated points of stillness around which the body can relax and reorganise.
These still points invite the release of tension, and offer the opportunity to let go of unease and pain. In this way problems may be resolved and symptoms relieved taking the person into a state of relaxation that refreshes the whole being and can give the experience of a deep sense of wellbeing and unity.
"These sessions left me feeling totally relaxed, my body felt as it it had re-aligned itself. The process is very gentle and I felt a deep sense of well being afterwards." Anna
"I got a real sense of being able to let go of tension that I've not experienced with other treatments before and my back pain improved tremendously." Louise
"I like my body again! That's profound." Marie
"Everything's in perspective - phew, thank you Julia." Pat

The Simple Woman's Daybook
FOR TODAY June 4th, 2013
Outside my window...
It looks like it is going to be a beautiful sunny day today. Yesterday was gorgeous. I told Todd I brought the sun back with me. It's hard to believe that the last Woman's Day post I did was way back in April. Talk about time flying!
I am thinking...
Your life can change forever in an instant. None of us know what lies ahead for sure. I guess it is hope in a better future which keeps us putting one foot in front of the other.
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present."
Bill Keane
I am thankful...
I am thankful for my faith which keeps me grounded and the direction it gives to my life. I know who I am and where I've been, and I know where I am headed. I have a purpose in being here.
In the kitchen...
Yesterday I baked some white bread which turned out lovely. First time ever I didn't bake a door stop! I also turned half of the recipe into this . . .
Tear and Share Greek Bread! Kind of like Cinnamon Rolls but not sweet and filled with feta cheese, olives, sun dried tomatoes, garlic and herbs. Delicious. You can find the recipes and a whole lot more on
The English Kitchen
I am wearing...
Nothing new here! Except today it is a light cotton nightie. I've put away the flannel for now!
I am creating...
I was able to do some artwork at my mom's while she was in the hospital. It helped to while away the time. I didn't get any done after she got home, but here is a bit of what I did while I was there:
A little girl and her cat sitting on the front porch waiting for the sun to come out . . .
The Faithful Prayers of Righteous Mothers
Seeing Stars in the Dark
The Stars Make me Dream
Do You See What I See?
It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.
What Can I Give Him?
Angels We Have Heard
Dashing Through The Snow
Places of Enchantment
I did some more as well, but will show them to you once I get them scanned. In any case I think I have a nice head start on my Christmas Card line for this year!
I am going...
We are taking Mitzie to the dog groomers today. She is looking like a little Yeti! She was so happy to see me when I got home, she practically turned herself inside out! She was galloping up and down the back garden in a frenzy she was so excited! Todd didn't gallop up and down the back garden??? Hmmm . . .
I am wondering...
Why didn't Todd gallop up and down the back garden. hahahaha He says he doesn't know how he managed to drive anywhere without me whilst I was away. He missed my front seat back seat driving! NOT!
I am reading...
The Ice Cream Girls by Dorothy Koomson
As teenagers Poppy Carlisle and Serena Gorringe were the only witnesses to a tragic event. Amid heated public debate, the two seemingly glamorous teens were dubbed 'The Ice Cream Girls' by the press and were dealt with by the courts.
Years later, having led very different lives, Poppy is keen to set the record straight about what really happened, while married mother-of-two Serena wants no one in her present to find out about her past. But some secrets will not stay buried – and if theirs is revealed, everything will become a living hell all over again . . .
I guess there was a television mini series of this book whilst I was away that I missed. I would have liked to have seen it.
I am hoping...
My mother has been experiencing quite bad dementia since all of her operations. I have been reading about it online. Apparently patients who have undergone General Anesthetic over the age of 80 have a one in three chance of developing permanent dementia. I am hoping and praying that my mother's improves. She had General Anesthetic three times in less than two weeks. Please continue to keep her in your prayers.
I am looking forward to...
Getting back into the swing of things. A nice summer for a change! (Enough of the rain!) Times and walks with Todd and Mitzie. Picnics, picnics and more picnics!
I am learning...
I am learning to be more patient with myself. It's not easy at times . . . because I am a rather impatient person!
Around the house...
I just love the clean looks of this living area. It's so pristine, and yet at the same time warm and welcoming. I would love to do something like that in here. Our walls in our living area are magnolia, which is cream . . . I long for some colour, but then again the carpet is a horrible ruby colour so this pale blue would never work. Maybe a tan colour . . . or a light golden brown. Food for thought there.
I think this is a fabulous idea don't you?? It makes a great use of corner space!
I am pondering...
"When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too."
~Paulo Coelho, the Alchemist
I think love is the great lesson we have been sent to learn here on earth. When we can love unconditionally, without prejudice or judgement, without having to think about it, we will have cracked it.
A favorite quote for today...
"Maybe everyone can live beyond what they're capable of."
~Markus Zusak
I like to try to push the boundaries of each day, to make everything count for something, to learn something new, to do something new or to create something new. Then none of it will have ever been in vain.
One of my favorite things...
I don't drink tea, but I do so love tea pots. They are one of my favourite things. Always have been. Actually I love everything to do with taking tea . . . pots, cups, cosies, strainers . . .
A few plans for the rest of the week:
Dog Groomers today, Presidency meeting tomorrow night, Boiler man is coming tomorrow to service the boiler, a bit of work, a bit of play . . . just normal stuff. Normal is good.
A peek into my day...
I like to spend some time each day feasting on the Word of God. It helps me to stay grounded and gives me direction. I always find exactly what I need to find. That is amazing to me. I know it shouldn't be, but it is what it is . . .
A thought to carry with you through today:
"It is often in the darkest
skies that we see the
brightest stars." ~Richard Evans
Have a wonderful day everybody!

The Fake Media – Trudeau Must Go
Follow us on our iTunes Podcast.
CNN: "The Least Trusted Name in News," According to a New Poll
Liberals, hold onto your pants!
A new poll, conducted by the Huffington Post and YouGov has revealed results showing that CNN is a less believable news network than Fox News.
Yes, that's right, "The Most Trusted Name In News" is no longer the most trusted. It looks like those Fox News haters have some reevaluating to do.
A mere 16% of those polled deem CNN "very believable" while 22% claim that the network is "somewhat believable." In the "very believable" category, that is even lower than MSNBC, which has been found by Pew Research to contain a frighteningly unsettling opinion-to-news-ratio. Fox News came in with 25% for both categories
Media Bias: Pretty Much All Of Journalism Now Leans Left, Study Shows
Media Bias: Ask journalists, and they'll likely tell you they play things right down the middle. They strive to be "fair." They're "centrists." Sorry, not true. The profound leftward ideological bias of the Big Media is the main reason why America now seems saturated with "fake news." Journalists, besotted with their own ideology, are no longer able to recognize their own bias.
Justin Trudeau's Failures have Consequences for Canadians
Monday, October 15, 2018. The Honourable Candice Bergen, Conservative House Leader, and Alain Rayes, Quebec Political Lieutenant, today issued the following statement regarding the consequences of Justin Trudeau's failure:
"Over the past three years, Conservatives have worked hard to expose Justin Trudeau's many failures.
Canada Can't Afford Another Four Years of Justin Trudeau
Here is a brief – and far from comprehensive – recap of the last year in Canada's Parliament.
Last year at this time there was great concern over illegal migrants crossing the border near Emerson MB and across the country. Justin Trudeau's reckless "welcome to Canada" tweet started the stampede towards the Canadian border. A year and half into this crisis, with tens of thousands of people having already entered the country illegally and hundreds of millions of dollars spent providing services to these illegal migrants, the Liberals continue to do nothing to protect the integrity of our border.
Justin Trudeau: Maybe he is just really, really stupid
Most Canadians who do not spend their evenings drinking the Liberal Party Kool Aid do not like the way Justin Trudeau is running the country. They realize as leaders and politicians go, he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. But it is possible even these people are actually overestimating his intelligence. As far as his mental abilities are concerned, he is probably a lot worse than most of us think he is.
No place in the NFL for cheerleaders in 2018
The Houston Texans aren't even bothering with the pretense.
On their website is a photo gallery of the finalists from last weekend's cheerleader tryouts, and visitors are encouraged to vote for their favorites. Are these action shots of the women that highlight their athletic ability or dance skills? Do they include a list of their qualifications?
Of course not. They're headshots. Sorry, head and chest shots. Close-up ones, at that.
Getting rid of cheerleading is not the solution for the NFL
The knee-jerk reaction seems as sensible as defensible, sincere as it is clear: The NFL should get rid of cheerleaders.
In the #MeToo world we live in now, isn't that the easiest way to combat the rash of allegations against NFL teams for demeaning, disgusting, and deplorable treatment of women they regard as little more than part-time appendages to titillate the male majority of their audience?
I know that was my first reaction. Was it yours? In the wake of the most recent reports, this time coming out of Washington, where a New York Times story included women saying they were forced to serve as evening escorts for high-money donors, and New Orleans, where reports detailed a set of rules and regulations that demeaned everything from a woman's weight to her social behavior away from the job, I couldn't help but think the best way to remove the potential for ongoing problems is to have the league get out of the cheerleading business altogether

I will copy and paste the plugin ad from wp.org for an easy explanation of features
This plugin allows blog admins to create a revenue sharing program utilizing one of the many advertising programs out there i.e Yahoo, Google Adsense, Amazon, Allposters etc. It can also be used as a banner manager, author photo/website widgets.. actually it has about a zillion uses. Give it a try and lemme know if you use it for anything really groovy.
See the Author Advertising Plugin page for more detailed information on how to use this plugin.
Admin has complete control over:
The percentage of author adverts to admin adverts.
The user level that an author has to be before they get to participate in the revenue sharing program.
Whether to randomize author ads on the front page of the blog.
The page that authors see before entering their publisher id.
Custom fields where you can collect additional information from your authors and display it.
The positioning and content of ads.
Up to three Author Advertising widgets.
The information that authors enter.
This message will self destruct in 1 hour. :> Had to quote Mission Imposable :>

By Invitation Only: Five lessons for micro-influencer strategies
by Natalie Pool (@NataliePool) If you don't have an influencer campaign, are you even in marketing? I'll be the first to confess my love of a good influencer strategy but will also admit that they're not all created equal and even the best-laid plans may backfire.
We all know the virtues of working with social-media celebs: they lend credibility to your brand, extend your reach to their followers, create cool content for your campaign and may even generate leads and drive sales. But all of this takes hard work, clever planning, relationship-building and, yes, money. Gone are the days when you could send a mommy blogger a hamper and a hashtag and hope for the best (insert eyeroll emoji here).
Now the buzzword is micro-influencer — someone with a respectable social-media following (think hundreds and thousands) but not in the big leagues of Bonang and AKA (who have millions). But what these micro-influencers lack in reach they make up for in relevancy. They're the cool kids who've created a loyal following with consistent and authentic content. They're fashionable. They're sociable. They're talented. And they're opinionated.
This is what makes them popular. This is also what may get your brand into trouble. Especially if you've just thrown their name into your campaign brainstorm without actually getting to know what made them so popular in the first place.
Important lessons
Here are five important lessons learnt when it comes to courting micro-influencers:
- The best relationships are symbiotic. You have to offer an influencer more than just money. Whether it's a platform for their own work, a solution that eases their pain or a social toolkit that makes their lives easier, give them a reason to love you back.
- Be upfront about your intentions. For any relationship to work, you need to make your expectations clear from the beginning. Set clear deliverables and deadlines and draw up a contract to avoid any unnecessary confusion. Think of it as an influencer prenup. Because no one likes nasty surprises when the honeymoon is over.
- You have to woo them. Take the time to sell your strategy to the influencers. It's important they get as excited about it as you are. If they don't understand what you're trying to achieve, they'll never fully buy into it.
- Sync your communication styles for a healthy relationship. It took us halfway through a recent campaign to realise our influencers weren't reading our briefs because they didn't check emails and Google Docs the way we agency folk do. Once we started communicating with them via WhatsApp, everyone was happy.
- Flings usually end badly. Using an influencer once off to take advantage of their following is the same as hooking up with a hot guy because he's famous and then avoiding him afterwards because things got awkward. Understand that working with influencers, and especially micro-influencers, is a long-term relationship and that, even when the campaign is over, people will still associate them with your brand. Remember why you chose them in the first place and plan for the fact that their influence probably means they are passionate and opinionated people who might get involved in the odd Twitter storm. Don't bail on them at the first sign of trouble.
Our job as agencies
Most marketers are still navigating the ups and downs of influencer relationships. At the end of the day, the most-important dynamic is the one between the brand and the micro-influencer. And it's our job as agencies to facilitate this blossoming romance and make the complexities appear seamless.

2011 Choice Magazine University Press Forum
The End of the Tunnel?
Read the 2011 Forum
Rebecca Ann Bartlett, editor
CHOICE, May 2011
This annual feature canvasses several AAUP member directors and asks for them to "address any subject relevant to (his or her own) university's publishing program or to university-press publishing in general." Often, the responses have very different takes on the year past and the year ahead for scholarly publishing, but in 2011 editor Becky Bartlett noticed a common thread of optimism. In the 2011 Forum, we hear from MaryKatherine Callaway of LSU Press, Richard Brown of Georgetown University Press and AAUP President, Donna Shear of the University of Nebraska Press, B. Byron Price of the University of Oklahoma Press, and Sheila Leary of the University of Wisconsin Press.

Halloween is approaching. The gaudy pumpkin and cheeky ghost decorations dangling from every shop window remind us of the fun to come. But what is missing amongst these jolly monsters and decorations is the spookiness that ought to come with Halloween. But never fear (or maybe do), for someone has filled the void – combined fun and fright and brought you a chilling comedy to put some horror back into Halloween weekend.
From the 29th to the 31st of October at 8pm in the Barron Theatre Patch of Blue Theatre present Mr Kolpert, by David Geissellman. Patch of Blue have been a favourite of mine since I saw them at the Fringe with Anne Frank and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, so I was keen to get an insider's perspective on their next show.
Mr Kolpert is a brutal black comedy, fresh from the prestigious Royal Court, well known for staging exciting new theatre productions, such as the fantastic fresher's week play Love Song. Mr Kolpert begins with Ralf and Sarah being a bit bored and so deciding to invite over some friends for drinks and pizza.
To spice things up Ralf pretends there's a dead body in their trunk – the dead body of one of their colleagues at work. As the evening unfolds the guests begin to wonder whether maybe Ralf is not pretending after all…
Set in the intimate Barron theatre with a cast of only five the performance is sure to send a chill down your spine while you laugh out loud, even though you feel like you shouldn't be laughing. Having watched some rehearsals I can promise that great things should be expected of this cast, perfectly selected by director Alex Howarth and Producer Caroline McCafferey.
Caroline said 'I'm so proud of the amazing dedication and enthusiasm of the cast. They've turned around a psychologically and dramatically complex show in just three weeks' and I can vouch for the quality of their hard-work.
Let's not let it go to waste! Patch of Blue are bringing you a hilarious horror story straight from the stage of the UK's most innovative theatre, incredibly cast and timed to make Halloween a night to remember. Tickets can be bought online at www.barrontheatre.co.uk and are already selling fast. Beware though, this is not a show for the faint-hearted and whatever you do, do not look in the trunk!

Tom Onslow-Cole will drive for SPS Automotive Performance in this year's International GT Open, in the team's Mercedes AMG GT3 alongside German amateur driver Valentin Pierburg.
The Britain, who earlier this week confirmed a Nurburgring 24 Hours programme with BMW, drove with Pierburg last season in the 24H Series, scoring a podium with the German team in the 24 Hours of Paul Ricard. The duo also raced at the Dubai 24 Hours last month with the team, running as high as fourth before the car suffered issues and dropped the crew to eighth overall.
"I'm stoked to be back with SPS automotive performance," the Milltek Sport-supported driver said. "24-hour racing is a real test of a team, and, so far, so good. I'm really looking forward to getting back into a two-driver sprint series, the team have great experience in this format and I think we've got a strong driver lineup too.
"I immediately clicked with Valentin and that's important with a pairing. We are very honest with each other and both share a passion for success and an eye for the finer details. Although he has only done a handful of races, Valentine has great potential as an amateur driver and I think we have a good chance of fighting it out at the front of the GT Open championship."
Onslow-Cole and the SPS team are due to travel to Paul Ricard for pre-season testing prior to the 2017 International GT Open season's opening round at Estoril on the 30th of April.

The Bureau of Business Research (BBR) at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln announced its spring webinar series featuring five webinars that are free and open to the public.

"These free webinars provide attendees the full story behind BBR reports on key economic topics. Attendees have the opportunity to ask questions and share their thoughts during the Q&A session," said Thompson.
Thompson will kickoff the series with "The Economic Impact of the Nebraska Insurance Industry," on February 17. The webinar reviews the insurance industry's contribution to the state economy including a wage profile of the industry, data on retaining and attracting workers to Nebraska, wage and employment opportunities created for various state industries and the impact of state and local tax revenues.
On Friday, March 31, the "Highway Spending in Nebraska" webinar will explore the differences between highway spending and investment and the influence of highway spending on economic development. Thompson will also discuss how to evaluate highway spending in rural states such as Nebraska.
"The Producer Services Industry" webinar on Friday, April 28 will examine recent developments in Nebraska's producer services industry. The producer services industry – which includes businesses that provide services to other businesses – is the fastest growing source of high-wage jobs in the United States economy. Thompson will discuss the growth of the industry both nationally and in Nebraska and their potential for faster growth.
"The Omaha Barometer" webinar will be hosted on Friday, May 19. Describing the results of the 2017 edition of the
Omaha Barometer
, Thompson will share analysis of the performance of Omaha's economy in terms of economic growth, human capital, private capital, infrastructure, innovation, entrepreneurship, the cost of doing business and the quality of life. This report is developed through a partnership with the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, and the webinar will also explore any changes in the
Omaha Barometer
rankings between 2016 and 2017.
The final webinar in the series is "The Nebraska Economic Forecast" on Friday, June 9. The webinar will examine the newly released economic outlook for Nebraska, a forecast created by the Nebraska Business Forecast Council. Key points of this report include outlook on farm income and non-farm employment, as well as expectations for industries such as manufacturing, construction and health care, retail, finance and producer services. Thompson will also discuss the national economic outlook and expected trends in both personal income and taxable sales in Nebraska.
The webinar series is one of the bureau's numerous outreach efforts to help people understand research relevant to businesses and families across the state. The BBR is housed in the Department of Economics in the College of Business Administration.

The Beresford Clinic was established, firstly as a detox clinic 15 years ago by managing Director, Julie Mackay. In the ensuing years the clinic has expanded and today prides itself on being the most specialised skin and aesthetics clinic in the South West, with patients travelling from as far as Cornwall, Dorset and Somerset for their required treatments.
The clinic maintains a very high standard of practice with an exemplary aftercare service, using the best products and machines that are of medical level, and not to be found in any other clinics in the region, hence why patients old and new are prepared to travel some distance to receive their treatment and care from The Beresford Clinic
Our client base has grown significantly over the years with our male client base growing by 40%, we attribute this growth to client recommendations and returning clients. Our clients travel from all over Devon and Somerset , including Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay & Newton Abbot.
Our clients value the privacy of the clinic which is based on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Bishopsteignton, near Exeter in Devon.
The clinic nestles amongst the undulating hills affording spectacular views towards the Teign estuary with the famous Haytor Rock in the distance. Due to the private and tranquil surroundings of the clinic, our clients feel comfortable visiting and indeed like to spend time sat out in the shade enjoying the view after their treatment and before their journey home.

Good afternoon and welcome to our rolling coverage of all things cryptocurrency, including price, regulation, innovation and financial crime.
A bad start to the week continues for the cryptocurrency market as BTC prices plunge below $7,000.
Bitcoin struggled to rally this morning and has lost 1.10 percent on the day to trade at $6,963.45.
Ethereum had some small gains yesterday but lost 0.01 percent to trade at $407.13.
Ripple sees more losses, falling 1.77 percent to trade at $0.421029, while Litecoin suffers a 1.35 percent loss to sell for $73.29 percent.
Investors fear that BTC could tumble further down the charts, but some experts are telling traders to hold strong – a bounce back may be on the cards.
3.30am UPDATE: Crypto advocate Tom Lee tells investors "Don't panic, bitcoin is bouncing back!"
Wall Street crypto guru Tom Lee believes bitcoin can slowly recover from its current slump in 2018.
The head of research at Fundstrat said "Bitcoin isn't broken if it's holding at these levels. I think people are afraid it is going to go back down to $6,000 and never come back from those bear markets.
"The news that we have seen, from the SEC saying bitcoin's a commodity, to the potential for an exchange-traded fund is causing investors to decide that bitcoin is the best house in a tough market."
The crypto expert thinks bitcoin dominance is showing that the market is reacting to what is good news.

That Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro we spotted on TENAA a couple of weeks ago turned out to be the full metal Redmi Note 3. The Chinese phone manufacturer Xiaomi supplied sample photos but those were not really convincing because they could have been edited or Photoshopped. What we need are real samples like this set from phoneArena shared below.
While Xiaomi presented photos captured with ample lighting and obviously in the best-case scenario as described, the following set shows real-life scenes. They're the kind normal people would take or be in. The camera of the Redmi Note 3 is made by Samsung and features a f/2.2 aperture and ultra-fast phase-detection autofocus.
Aside from the sample photos, a teardown of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 was released for our viewing pleasure. It's not from iFixit but it's as interesting because we're curious to know how to remove the metal back cover which is very much sealed compared to the Note 2's removable back cover.
Check out the teardown photos below:
As you can see, it's not as challenging to open. Just have the right tools and the "courage" to open a mobile device and you're good. The smartphone is very thin but it still packs a thin 4000 mAh battery which is impressive.
There's nothing much notable about the Note 3 though, at least hardware-wise, but such teardown tells us what to expect and identify what's really inside. Knowing that a phone can easily be cracked gives you an idea how to take good care of it or how durable it can be.

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by drp, Dec 3, 2007.
What is your religion and what do you think about atheists?
I am quite religious.. Just not christian, jewish, muslim, or any of those other established religions. In fact I have a big problem with most of the established religions, as many of them simply do not practice what they preach. (One, that shall remind nameless to avoid a flame war, in particular seems to forget the nature of its prophet.)
To me, religion is something that is very personal, and should not be stem from the culture or society, rather each individual should decide for themselves and make their beliefs actualy their own. It certainly has nothing to do with the traditions and such that people seem to focus to heavily on. One really needs to understand the philosophies and history of the world before deciding on how to answer questions like "what is the meaning of life" and etc.
As for atheists. They're fine. I'm sure many of them have their own moral code and such, just like how many people who claim to be religious lack a moral code.
holyshit very well put. im not religious and dont believe in a higher power, but i do admire your view that faith should be a personal thing, and not established. good for you man.
Im an agnostic buddhist. I dont really know what to believe, but I tend to be in agreement with the moral guidelines of buddhism.
I'm a Catholic. Love the Pope, in fact his new book (Jesus of Nazareth) is really fantastic. I think even if you're a protestant you'll get a lot out of it.
What do I think of atheists? That depends on the atheist, I guess.
I will say though, generally speaking I have a lot more respect for agnostics. They can be more honest unless they're using their "indecision" (for lack of a better word) as a way to hide from really investigating things.
Books that changed my life: Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man by G.K. Chesterton. Lewis used to be an atheist and Chesterton was agnostic before his conversion.
You know, the nice thing about both of those guys (particularly Chesterton, I don't know as much about Lewis) is they were good friends with atheists and other people that totally disagreed with them. One of Chesterton's lifetime sparring partners was George Bernard Shaw, who could not have been more philosophically different from him.
And yet you would never find a better defender of Shaw than Chesterton. Both could be found at the pub having beers and discussing away. It's so different now, seemingly, sadly polarized and a lack of love and trust between people.
Raised Jewish and stuck with it, though I consider myself to be more spiritual than religious. In short; I figure as long as you're generally a good person and don't do something stupid like kill someone, you're pretty much set. How and what you believe doesn't really make a difference, as long as you have the right idea; give thanks every once in a while, don't do the major sins (murder, adultery, etc.), and give to charity once a year. Oh, and the meaning of life & the universe is 42
this man speaks the truth.
Well, I did my research after deciding Christianity might not be for me(god loving everybody but apparently hating gays was why I decided to start researching other religions (no I'm not gay)), and I decided, after reading the bible, learning about other religion's beliefs, and reading how each religion came to be, that this is what I believe: (some of you may take offense to this)
There is no God, or if there is one, he doesn't give a damn about us or isn't actually aware we're here (aliens anyone?)
Evolution is more-or-less correct, it's just question on how we initially got here.
If there really is a God, Jesus was definitely not his son, although I suppose it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to believe that Jesus was a 'chosen one'.
Christians, not Catholics, more-or-less have a belief system that works well, considering God Loves All, and it doesn't particularly matter whether or not I believe in what they believe, they still have a good sturdy religion.
All other religions are fine too, except maybe Satanism, that's kinda weird, worship the guy who apparently eternally tortures people (he must get tired, going around torturing humans all day), and as long as you don't actually intend to fight against another religion, you should follow your beliefs. (I'm looking at you, Iran.)
Jews are cool, since they managed to stay around for so long, even if everybody else hates them (why? They were essentially the original religion...)
Edit: How could I forget, Buddhists are awesome too.
Hrmm I think you need to research more about religions. Satanism isn't about worshiping the christian Satan, and like so many other things, is nothing like how it is in movies and tv. Judaism is far from the "original religion", which has only been around for about 3000 or so years.
As for there being no God. It all depends on how you define "god". If you mean God as in the creator of all, then I would have to disagree because then anyway that the universe was created can then be defined as "god". In the 1600s/1700s, a popular philosophy among the "intellectuals" was deism. Which basically states that God created the universe and then abandoned it. Essentially turning on "the machine" and leaving it running. I think its very hard for someone to deny that somehow this universe was created by some means. (I'm sure someone will try to bring up Descartes proofs up as a way to debunk that statement, but still.)
My beliefs. This is a question I have been asking myself a bunch for the past couple years.
I was raised in a Catholic family that went to church every Sunday and all holidays. Both my parents are amazing people and my Dad especially has an insane amount of patience and understanding for other people. He has probably had the most influence on what I believe today. He would always emphasis that no matter who you are dealing with they have a reason for what they are doing and if you understand that reason you will see that it is not really up to you to judge that person.
For instance when you are dealing with that super annoying telemarketer you have to understand that while you hate getting interupted during your dinner they are just doing their job so dont be rude to them, tell the politely but firmly you are not interested, wish them a good evening, and go back to dinner. Those two guys over there kissing is kinda sick, but it is their choice and who are we to judge them?
I lived my entire youth firmly indoctrinate with the entire Jesus loves you and will always love you. He loves you no matter what you believe, who you are or what you have done and he will always forgive you.
Yet, then I started to listen and understand what the preists were saying, and what the Pope was saying. That if you "sin" you are going to hell, that there are Cardinal sins that god will not forgin, that if you two men fall in love that is in itself is not a sin, its only a sin if they express that love. That you cant have a woman as a leader of a church.
Another thing I just accepted was that priests could not get married yet are expected to offer marriage counseling and conduct marriage ceremonies between other people, oops, between men and women. How is someone who has never been married, never experienced marriage supposed to tell married couples how to live their lives? For a while we went to a church where the priest was married (became a protestant priest then switched to catholicism, always a priest, always married, a nice loophole if you ask me). And he was the best priest I have ever met. His sermons on the bible would be drawn from his family life, why cant regular priests get married?
Jesus's message was a message of Love thy neighbor as thyself, to try to understand other people and their viewpoints. It was not about how to follow decades of tradition, it was how to break with that tradition and not fit with a certain mold but instead to do what you felt deep down was the right thing to do. To love people as you love yourself. To UNDERSTAND people as you understand yourself. To try and learn what you can about them so you dont make hasty judgements and in your haste dismiss someone as insignificant or just annoying. To recognize other people as Human beings and not a "group". To look at your taxcollector and see the person, not the job.
Instead of looking at the big issues we are worried that god might not like gays getting married. We are worried god might not like women being priests. We quibble over whether humans decended from Apes.
Which brings me to my next big complaint. Why can't traditionally religious people look past their blind faith to logic? Why cant you have faith GUIDED by logic instead of faith guided by just faith?
So in summary I am still unsure what exactly I believe but I do know that I do not really like organized religion. That while I like to believe there is a God I see him as a greater being that sees our short lives flash by in an instant and is more concerned with the greater paths of humanity than the day to day lives.
I am christian, and about what intraman said.
there are 2.1 billion christians in the world. i beleive 50 million or so of those actualkly follow it
From what I've observed it's more like 1%.. but I'm a cynic so, as the kids say, heh.
If I haven't said already then I'll say it now, people generally take religion a bit to seriously, y'know.
I was raised Catholic, but not very strict about certain things, my parents just gave me the options to learn and follow as much as i wanted. I think religion is great in general, although some of the people that follow them aren't, such as the extremist groups that want to change everyone else.
Anyways, I dove into Philosophy for awhile and it made me think differently about the world and things, all of my philosophy teachers were atheist or didn't believe in god at least. They were nice guys and great people, but didn't believe in miracles, god, or anything else. They tended to follow things in a scientific approach, meaning it has to be tested and give results in order to even be considered. Which is what makes the God topic so hard, because theres no way to test it, or to confirm or dis confirm.
Some of the things that happen in our world are too incredible to be by chance, and too specific to be random. I think miracles happen all the time and i think that faith is huge because it bears the believe in something without having to test it or prove it all the time like science. My last teacher didn't believe in God and tried to always explain things out with science and the human mind. I think there may be things the human mind may never be able to understand and maybe were not suppose to. We can always talk about the way things were created scientifically, but never why. My teacher would bring up the creation of the Universe, the big bang theory, how the universe follows perfect laws, etc...
and i asked him once...
Well how were the Laws of the Universe created since the big bang and all existing things follow these laws? Did they just magically appear and have perfect rules for everything at the exact instant the big bang happened or what?
He never really answered the question and i left the class a bit let down.
His class really pushed me to keep my faith and believe in things that didn't have to be proved to me.
But yeah... I stopped going to church as often, and i believe too many things have been twisted over time and are political, but i still am Catholic and believe in God.
I've had some experiences in my life that helped me believe that too, even though my teacher would say my mind was playing games with me, or i remember it differently or some other kinda psychological thing, but i know it was none of that stuff.
Man i wish someone that died could just respawn again and tell us what the hell happens, lol.
Yes, I suppose. As far as the Roman Catholic Church is concerned, I'm one of them. As far as I'm concerned, I gave that up ages ago.
I'm Buddhist, through and through. I don't kill anything, I don't drink, I don't curse, and I don't sleep around with anyone... other than my wife of course I meditate, I live a vegan lifestyle and eat a vegan diet. I stop to care for injured animals on the side of the road, I work in the Animal Welfare field and take Ghandi's quote "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way in which its animals are treated" as an absolute truth... even though he was Hindu
I also play TF2 in my spare time...
im atheist
Me too. Basically, I just don't want to be associated with these groups. It is all very alien to me. I had always thought until quite recently that people only believed in this stuff metaphorically. It shocked me that people believed physically. I never had much exposure to religion, so I'm just in this neutral area as far as ideology goes. That said, I think I'm a much better Christian morally than most actual Christians. I've never done "the drugs" or drank "the beer". I've never missed a day of school in my life. I've never had "the sex". Christians are big on the celebacy, right? Not that this is intentional. I'm just waiting for that atheist gamer girl.. who is not fat. I'm going to be looking a while for that huh?
What were we talking about?
Although technically a Christian, I consider myself spiritual. It's funny how faith is faith, and is something you do without proof, because it was only when I stopped looking that I was given the proof. I went atheist, or at least agnostic, for a few years. I have manic depression, and at that age I didn't even know that, but obviously the idea of believing in a loving God seemed absurd. I did, however, take a philosophical interest in other religions, and read up on some of them, even tried partaking in rituals and such. Eventually I came across Qi Gong, which used a form of meditation, and essentially one time I meditated, something strange happened, but after the experience I felt touched by something of a higher order, I believed in God again almost instantly, became pacifist, was quite an experience! Although after all this, I still believe your moral code is what sets you apart, what makes you worthy in God's eyes, why would he care whether you believe in him or worship him, so long as you value life and the feelings of other people, I'm sure he'll be happy.
Oh, and please don't use Descartes, he was such a dreadful philosopher, with his bloody triangle and silly arguments to prove God's existance. I'll tell you one of his arguments because it will make you laugh. Imagine someone comes up to you, and offers you a choice between two things in his hands. In one hand, a real ?50 note, and in the other, an imaginary one, which would you pick? The real one! Because the real one is better, because you can spend it. Real is better than imaginary. Now he would move on to defining God, whether you believe in it or not, after all, if you don't believe in something, you must define what it is you don't believe in! We would sum up that God is a perfect being that created the Universe, that is what we do or don't believe in. Now we go back to the note, real is better than imaginary, and since God is perfect, he must always have the best option in order to be perfect, and since real is better than imaginary, he must be real...stupid or what?
hah! yes quite stupid. I have a theory that he only came up with that to avoid the Inquisition. Either that, or perhaps some evil demon told him. heh.
One interesting "Proof" or explanation of why you should believe in god goes kinda like this (I am going to butcher it, but I think I have the general theme down)
In life you have two choices. The first is to believe there is a god, the second is to believe there is no god. If you believe there is a god then it follows that you believe there is some kind of life after death. If you do not believe there is a god, then you believe that your current life is all you have. What do you lose by believing there is a god? Nothing really, so by believing in god you at least have a chance to get into the afterlife, whereas if you do not believe in a god then you have no chance. Therefore even if a god does not exist it makes more sense to believe in a god.
So I am not really saying this is what I believe, but as long as we are talking about interesting philosophical ideas I figured it was relevant. My issues with it is that if you are saying that you believe in a god for selfish reasons, then how sincere are you and that this sounds like some religious person trying to justify their faith, rather than trying to convince other people.
edit: I felt that I needed to elaborate; I'm not religious at all, religion has always weired me out from a young age, now when it comes to the question of a God, I'm a fence sitter.

Discover the pros and cons of iPhone XS and XS Max
Apple disclosed its annual updated iPhones yesterday, showing off 3 models that weren't groundbreaking as way as developments in hardware or style considering they're customary S upgrades, however they are doing shake up Apple lineup in important ways in which.
For one, the iPhone X is gone entirely, as square measure older iPhone models with electro-acoustic transducer jacks. In its place is that the new iPhone XS, a rather superior version of the bezel-less smartphone Apple initial discharged for $999 last year. And now, there's an excellent larger version — the iPhone XS scoop — that has Associate in Nursing fulgurant half dozen.5-inch show, that is Apple's largest ever.
Complicating the spoken communication is that the third phone that was proclaimed yesterday: the iPhone XR. That device comes in six bright colours, together with a Project RED version and a canary one. It conjointly has all of a similar internal elements as its pricier variants and a bezel-less show.
however from a worth posture, it's designed to exchange last year's iPhone eight. the 2 huge trade-offs you create square measure within the show quality — the XR has Associate in Nursing {lcd|liquid crystal show|LCD|digital display|alphanumeric display} display rather than Associate in Nursing OLED one — and within the camera, that could be a single-lens system rather than the iPhone XS's dual-lens system that was carried over from last year's model.
The choice isn't a simple one. each the XS and XR involve some trade-offs and compromises, and understanding that components of Apple's priciest devices you wish or dislike can assist you build a a lot of hip to call on that model is for you. We've dampened a number of the flagship XS model's best options, similarly as a number of its biggest drawbacks, therefore you'll decide if it's time to leap in with the XS / XS scoop or if it's price going for the a lot of colourful and cheaper XR.
Let's begin with what the XS will best:
BEST: stunning OLED show WITH A half dozen.5-INCH choice FOR rock-ribbed PHABLET FANS
The most vital good thing about the iPhone XS and XS scoop over the cheaper XR is its show, that is arguably the foremost spectacular smartphone screen on the market. The XS features a five.8-inch size, 2436 x 1125 resolution OLED show — a similar because the original iPhone X — whereas the XS scoop features a half dozen.5-inch, 2688 x 1242 resolution OLED show. each devices feature a element density of 458 ppi.
This leads to the brightest, sharpest, most color-accurate displays Apple has ever created for its smartphone line. Apple conjointly says the glass encasing the device is Associate in Nursing improvement on last year's model. If you're a sucker for big smartphone screens that really look next-generation in quality, Apple's XS and XS scoop models square measure no-brainers.
BEST: procedure PHOTOGRAPHY TRICKS, due to THE A12 BIONIC CHIP
One of the simplest ways in which to justify shopping for one in every of Apple's top-of-the-line iPhone models is that the advancements the corporate achieves in mobile photography. within the case of the iPhone XS and XS scoop, you're obtaining one or two new options that actually benefit of the interaction between Apple's package and its new A12 Bionic chip, that helps with aboard process for tasks that build use of machine learning and different artificial intelligence-powered package.
One of those new options is sensible HDR, which can take variety of photos with varied exposure settings and different manual tweaks and sew them along kind of like what Google will for its element phones. the opposite is that the ability to manually modify the aperture of a photograph, and so the depth of field, when it's already been captured. this can be one thing that was pioneered years agone by camera maker Lytro, and it's sometimes achieved through the employment of light-field photography.
In this case, however, Apple is in a position to provide a similar impact with package by exploitation several of a similar procedure photography techniques that power its Portrait Mode. (Although, again, it's price mentioning that mechanical man phones are ready to try this same technique for quite your time similarly.)
The new XS and XS scoop have variety of delicate additions that aren't notable enough to interrupt out as "best" options, together with twin SIM support, stereo sound, and a 512GB storage choice, to call the foremost outstanding. however one feature that separates the XS from last year's X and from the new XR is that the IP68 rated water, splash, and mud resistance.
- Moment releases 1st Mfi battery case for the iPhone X, even as it's being discontinued
- How to pre order the iPhones xs,xs max,and xr
It's one intensify from the IP67 rating of the first iPhone X, and it implies that you'll accidentally submerge your XS or XS scoop in up to seven feet of water for as long as half-hour. That's double the depth that the IP67 rating permits. therefore if you're liable to dropping your iPhone into, say, a swimming bath or lake rather than simply a bathroom or tub, the XS could be a huge improvement within the not-needing-a-replacement-device department.
Given that this year is Apple's S upgrade year, that means these phones square measure solely incrementally higher than last year's models, there square measure quite few drawbacks to plunking down quite $1,000 for a flagship device that may be out-of-date twelve months from currently. Here's wherever the XS and XS scoop come short, and why you may need to think about either holding off for a year or 2 for newer models or going with the XR instead.

Here's wherever the XS and XS scoop come short, and why you may need to think about either holding off for a year or 2 for newer models or going with the XR instead.
WORST: IPHONE XS AND XS scoop AREN'T THAT far better THAN THE XR
The iPhone X was Apple's biggest deviation from its fall smartphone refresh strategy in years, therein it gave individuals with the need and money to spare a plain and visibly superior different to the quality iPhone style we tend to became familiar with. you bought the primary OLED show on Associate in Nursing iPhone additionally to Associate in Nursing edge-to-edge style and Face ID.
With the iPhone XS and XS scoop, you're not very obtaining devices that square measure all that far better than Apple's cheaper XR variant. The XR has a similar A12 Bionic processor, a similar front-facing camera with Face ID and Animoji, and therefore the same bezel-less style.
The rear-facing camera doesn't have the dual-lens system that the first X and therefore the new XS and XS scoop have. however it will still perform several of a similar Portrait Mode shots and different procedure photography tricks, like adjustable aperture to accentuate or dampen artificial bokeh effects, due to camera package advancements.
Even the show on the XR, that is larger than the show XS, is being touted as Associate in Nursing industry-leading version of LCD that Apple is asking Liquid LCD (meaning it uses a backlighting system to fill out the bezel-less screen).
therefore it's not terribly seemingly that almost all average customers square measure about to notice a large distinction between the XR screen and therefore the OLED show on the XS. Granted, the iPhone XS and XS scoop have higher-resolution displays with HDR, therefore that's price taking into consideration if those square measure options that come to you.
WORST: IPHONE XS solely COMES IN 3 customary colours
This may be the foremost benign criticism to own concerning the XS and XS scoop, however its 3 customary colours — gold, silver, and area gray — very feel muted and uninspired compared to the XR's black, blue, coral, red, yellow, and white choices.
Apple has continuously reserved its flashier color choices for its cheaper, a lot of mass-market models, all the approach back to its iPod line and a lot of recently with the iPhone 5C. and therefore the company habitually locks fashionable color choices, even for accessories, behind specific screen sizes and upgrade tiers as some way to incentivize customers to upgrade.
Still, it's a giant bummer that you just can't purchase a a lot of communicative smartphone from Apple whereas still enjoying the simplest specs and hardware its flagship line should provide. That said, if you're shopping for a $1,150 phone, you're likely to need to hide the rear of it with a case anyway.
