			&quot;The Lord's Prayer that the rabbi Jesus taught in the original Aramaic actually addresses the Cosmic Birther, Mother-Father God. Abwoon d'bwashmaya.&quot; J. Borysenko

Now I don't claim to know too much about the Jewish faith, so cannot attest to the veracity of J.B's comment although she is Jewish.. but I found it to be something I resonated with.. 

and of course.. Genesis..1:26-27

&quot;Then God said, &quot;Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.&quot; 
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.&quot;

What I always found fascinating was the use of the plural.. 
Let [b]us[/b] make man in [b]our[/b] image, in [b]our[/b] likeness... Is the writer including himself in the text, or referring to God in the plural? Not in regards to 2 Gods but.. perhaps 2 aspects of God..]]>

We need to find that spark, that river of life, that heavenly space within ourselves to guide us, provide us peace, and fill our spiritual needs , so we can withstand the trials and tribualtions we face in everday life.


In common sense terms, we need to be happy with ourselves, with what we are and who we are, and what we hope to become, and nobody outside of ourselves can provide this, we have to muster the will power to allow ourselves this internal gift.

One of the problems we have with converting our energy dependency from petroleum (I don't want to say &quot;fossil fuel&quot; because coal is a fossil fuel, too, and we know what chance there is in that) to some other form of energy is that oil is still the most cost efficient.  Or to put it another way, you get more bang for the buck with a gallon of gasoline than from a gallon of anything else.  And the more oil you take out of that gallon and replace with vegetables, the less bang you get.

			I kind of agree, Lawmage, but with some reservations. Certainly prisoners of war, or enemy detainees should not be involved in the American criminal justice system.

However, as a former military court reporter, I know from personal experience that if a military court wants an individual convicted, that's what happens. There is a certain element of kangaroo court about military trials, and unless the judge or presiding officer is eminently fair and genuinely disinterested, conviction is almost guaranteed. 

I am not suggesting that all military hearings operate this way. But if the hearings were to be held in secret, with transcripts also classified so they couldn't be seen by the public, there is great and grave danger is such a court.

And...I'm sorry, you're going to hate this, but...given the Bush administration's penchant for secrecy, there's precious little I would trust about such tribunals and/or hearings. Daylight and transparency are the solutions, and I fear we aren't ]]>

			<![CDATA[<b>Posted by</b> DragonSeer:<br />
			[quote=Tobias] The Greek word in the New Testiment that is translated as &quot;sin&quot;, literally means &quot;to miss the mark&quot; (as in archery).  They had no concept of sin in Hellenism (the Greek religion) like we do today because of Christianity.

So what do you all think about sin?  Are we better off as a society today because of a clearly defined set of actions that can be called &quot;sins&quot;?  Or would we be better off in your opinion to never have known or imagined &quot;sins&quot; a person can commit against an all-righteous God? [/quote]

I don't think that using the word [i]sin[/i] is inherently bad; but I believe that its misuse--to suit personal means--seems, well, sinful.  That is, I don't think it's bad to have a word that indicates one is &quot;missing the mark&quot; in terms of rightful behavior (that of the Higher Self, the Atman, etc.).  But when the word is used to scare people into a certain behavior, or to scare people so as to encourage them to part with their money (for a religious institution's fi]]>

			CG, I did not see that ADM Mullen said he was worried about a horde of Iranian troops pouring accross the Iran-Iraq border...Nor do I see an attack on Iran as likely to precipitate Iraqi troops turning on US forces inside Iraq en masse.  Indeed, I think the two are likely to be mutually exclusive.  The bulk of Iraqi Shia are not especially enamored of the Iranians.  You overestimate the unity their shared Shia beliefs brings them.  Certainly some Shia religious leaders have close ties with the Shia clergy in Iran but that closeness most certainly does not extend to the average Iraqi.  Indeed, the average Iraqi is, in my personal experience, quite concerned about the potential threat Iran poses to Iraq.  Should the Iranians be so foolish as to invade Iraq in response to a US or Israeli strike on iranian nuclear facilities I strongly suspect you would see the Iraqis clamoring for MORE American troops rather than fewer.  More pointedly, Iran lacks the realistic throw weight to invade Iraq]]>

			No, I'm not in America, but the problem exists here as well. I find it interesting though that in America, they are making new laws that see young teens fined for wearing inappropriate clothing such as baggy pants that show more than 3&quot; of underwear. And what about the young girls who have been booted from airplanes because their clothing was considered too provocative for the flight?

As long as there are stars making movies and music videos portraying women and young girls in skimpy clothes, we'll continue to have these issues. Teens look to these people to provide a role model for them.

			Cass, you're a Brit.

After WWI and its apparent Naval superiority, England started into its colonialization period.  England needed crude to 'power its fleet.'  It took over many oil-rich countries, including those in Africa.  It allowed the settlement of many of those countries by Brits who took land and turned it into productive land.

I'm not saying that this was either right or wrong.  It's what happened.

African nations now want to become their own nations, just as India and Saudi Arabia have become.  And I hope they do so; however, as long as African Nations are led by individuals such as Mugabi, will this happen?

What's happening in Darfur, for example.  Is there Western genocide going on, is it Muslim genocide or it African genocide?

			Cass, I think there is a difference between Iran and Iraq in this way: a lot of us here knew that the reasons for invading Iraq were lies. On the other hand, it does appear that Iran has a nuclear program that, unlike Saddam Hussein's, is more than just talk.

There is no question that America feels a nuclear armed Iran is dangerous, and certainly Israel feels that way.

Given the current friendship between Israel and the US, you can draw your own conclusions. Whether we invade or not, whether it's moral or even right to do so, I don't know. I do know that Iran is more dangerous to the outside world than Iraq ever was.

			Hello, Cat Man,

I am replying publicly to your private message, as it said essentially the same thing that your public message does.

I'm afraid I rather overstepped my privileges in my last post. I don't come to Fool Moon very often, but when I do, I come to relax and enjoy the Paranoia Files and some other topics which I read but do not respond to.

When I first arrived here some time ago, I promised the site owners that I would not do business of any kind here, nor promote their site or my films, nor do any celebrity chats or anything like that. I told them I wanted to be here as myself in a relaxed and non-professional way. They agreed, and I've been enjoying FM ever since.

I regret that my previous post mentioning a movie idea went beyond the boundaries I had set up here with Helice and Dax. I must apoligize if I have given you any false hope, or encouraged you that a film might be made from a specific idea.

			I pretty much agree with everyone. It's not the government's place to tell us we must drive cars and motorcycles safely, that is our own responsibility.

However, so many of us are irresponsible twits of the lowers order that the adrenalin rush of driving a bike into an oncoming truck exceeds common sense.

I still have no problem with that if it weren't for the fact that 

1. innocent people can get hurt   and
2. we pay for that stupidity

There's no answer that will be satisfactory to everyone.

			Yep, I'll die with it, not from it.  And, yes, my head, my voice and my balance--along with hands, arms and, on really bad days I think legs--but that could be balance, since essential tremor isn't supposed to involve the legs.

As with everything, one learns to compromise, adapt, and compensate, all the while keeping in mind that it takes more muscles to smile than it does to frown.  Whenever my Mother would catch us making faces at each other, she'd say--&quot;Stop that right now or your face will freeze that way.&quot;  I'd rather my face froze in a smile.]]>

			I have no problem with facts.  If you through the apple in the air it will fall to the ground.  That  is a fact.  Then, concerning the why of that, you have theories.  Don't you agree?

And then somewhere someone comes along with the correct theory and the theory should then be no more theory.  Correct.?  It should then be a fact.

Well, Neptune is planet of gases; is a fact today.  Tomorrow that could change.  Thus, is that really a fact?  Upon further exploration, could  that not change?  Of course it could?

Concerning those brown pants, if it cant be proven then why is the question asked?

Do we laugh because the bad things aren't happening to *us*, and we think we could have handled things better? 
[/quote]

Well in chimps, showing the teeth in a laugh type reaction, means the chimp is afraid, and it has been speculated, as far as I know, that in humans, the laugh reaction originated in reaction to a disturbing situation. Perhaps its a reaction to potential insanity in what we are looking at.

Is there laughter because we somehow think these people deserved what they got, a la Darwin's Awards?

I guess that could be a factor, people do enjoy the chance to call others idiots. Unless the injury was very minor I don't think I could laugh too much at others hurting themselves.

Do we engage in idiotic dangerous games and hobbies because we have over-civilized ourselves and we need to turn to these pursuits to re-adrenalize ourselves to replace the excitement of being chased by leopards and such?

			I hope so, Aus.  I remember when I first joined FM, I did a lot of research into the Shia and Sunni, and there have been times when the two divisions of Islam did live and work together.  If, by attacking Iraq, the US messed that up, so be it.

There is progress being made, if you read the n e w s r e a l s l o w.  This is from yesterday's Seattle Times:

U.S. forces also have delayed the handover of Anbar province, the sprawling region west of Baghdad where occasional bombings and combat occur despite a sharp drop in violence. Anbar had been a stronghold of al-Qaida in Iraq and other extremist groups until [u]Sunni[/u] tribes turned on them and allied with the United States. [/quote]

Some people respond to constant moving the way I did--close that chapter and move on.  Some hold on and maintain years-long correspondence with people they'll most probably never see again.  In the long run, I prefer my way, especially now that I have e-mail.  It makes 'going home again' much simpler.]]>

			Drink 8 glasses of water a day and eat a lot of green leafy vegetables rather than the potatoes pumpkins etc.  Make sure you have your protein. If necessary take a vitamin and mineral supplement if you think you are lacking anything. 
I wish you the very best in your weight loss venture, keep us posted with your losses.
Helice's idea of a food diary is an excellent idea, they do work and yes you have to be brutally honest with it as she said.

			I have had a Myspace page for a while now. In general it is a great place to network however; you will get a lot of kids that aren't as nice as the ones you are friends with. Personally I accept friendship from the kids which is one of the great things I enjoy about Myspace, you are able to accept or decline if as you please. 

There are a lot of people who do network there and use it as just a place to advertise. Even porn sites register accounts and subtlety make their way through the masses of people asking for friendship. Those who accept are usually boggled down with spam in the inbox and comment area. There are also a lot of hackers in the Myspace system. They lead you to links outside the system and onto some blank page then require you to log back into your page before you gain access then they use your account to pass their spam. I've been hacked a couple times before I realized it was more my error than theirs. I needed to pay more attention.
