Don't you feel at least partly the same?

Perhaps.. that is where we agree. "Strange", "mainstream".. "normal(?)".. beliefs to me are irrelevant.. at least to the point they are willing to sacrifice me on some god's altar because I'm not exactly the same.. and for the *most* of the world, to the contrary, it seems to be asking too much..

that's what I told the guy .. I don't know where he's from. Either Romania, or Bulgaria.. "sheesh.. I don't know how that's fair and all.. I'm only.. 23 .. they are well.." OK then. just.. don't date your students. Date your colleagues students.. as long as they aren't in your class, and you can't give them some kind of perks, or benefits.. god bless you brother..

Ha! I'm just lucky when I agree with myself.. that is some of the time.

try to find a better place.. then its all the same..

If it is? It seems to be a given.. where do we go from here..

maybe I shouldn't ask.. is da "pastor" over thirty.. is he da "offspring" of mog.. does he really give a damn, besides his own sordid heritage.. You might answer "yes" to only the second of the two choices here.. as far as the "love boat".. if you think Bozo the Clown is the head of the church.. in a strange way, I must agree with you.. maybe you don't see it.. I dunno.. there seems to be a difference between a subservient and blessed flock..it's hard to divide the two.. do they "have" to be blessed?

Excuse me.. what the h*ll is it? just wonder.. "youve had over three years experience squeezing the life out of some poor gawd forsaken organization". Is that it? I'm just trying to figure it out..

"don't trust (or vote for) anyone over thirty." I think that's how I'll vote this time.. pick the one who is younger..

I love you Socks.. don't take it weird or anything.. sounds almost like a description of White House "occupees" .. well. Almost. Usually they are married first.. then the other "virtues" come later.. Sorry.. it looks like its a rampant disease.. where do we go from here? hmmmmmm. Maybe a new law.. "Politicians shall have no children." sorry.. just a thought.. I would be satisfied with "no incumbents shall enter".. and if the wonderful Greasespot machine will do its job, and merge this to my former post, I won't be raking in success of inflating number of posts..

so you know da truth like it hasn't been known since day one.. you'd better wear it well.. pretty ambitious if you ask me..

Maybe the question should be.. in regards to "red flags".. do we wear our skins, or do our skins wear us.. I've met some Roman Catholics who have worn their skins well..

"what if you found everything you believed was WRONG.." somebody asked me that once.. its a life long spiritual journey for some. One is born, raised in some religion or another.. never sees outside of their little box.. what does one do when the box is burned.. go look for another box? maybe try to find one that's *slightly* more fire retardant? heh.. seems its been one stepping stone to an island of "wrongness" after another.. the funny thing about all of this.. I knew I was *wrong* all the time.. It's like.. if someone wants to say.. "you're nuts".. I'd whole-heartedly agree.. It might be *nuttiness*.. but there is a strange peace to it.. EVERYTHING is wrong. That's the whole point of participating in this life, isn't it? everything is *perfect* on the other side.. or is it infinitely more intricate and competitive..

For the "believers education".. I would recommend.. Norah Jones. Come away with me. then.. feels like home.. I would rate these as highly as Beatles.. Rubber Soul, Revolver.. Magical Mystery Tour.. etc, etc.. heh.. a God-Daughter of the Beatles.. what more could one expect..

Wait till you look at Norah Jones.. "it" calls.. it will come..

No disrespect intended.. :)

:) you haven't seen anything, yet..

Ha! hey.. you (and me) can fit in, anywhere..

Heh.. it was the only character with the badge of mathematical excellence.. that made his way out of that existence.. I can't say it is (or were) me.. because I am still here..

If you ever have the time (or inclination).. I love the old Doctor Who series.. if you can stand the cheesy special effects.. Full Circle.. the brute confronts itself.. State of Decay.. it's a society that mathematically that can't exist, without some kind of oppressive source.. Warrior's Gate.. I won't say.. Fiction is fiction, isn't it? :) I wonder where the authors get this stuff..

seems.. what the "average" follower does not see.. or the scam would not perpetuate itself.. we are played one against another.. one "class" of society against another.. one religious adherence against another.. now, math, its hard to do this.. but they have their little (polite mostly) internal quarrels at times.. they generally agree on the methods and results.. but division seems to be the situation, one generation after another, and if one believes it, one lifetime after another.. who gains here? can't be da follower who avoids family, regarding them possessed of da enemy.. I dunno.. I've had to deal with this.. in ways I wish I didn't.. I've had to tell some who I love.. "your beliefs require you to think I am possessed. Now what are you going to do.." yeah.. I've been in those shoes before..

Ha! Like the claims.. Obama isn't really American.. he's an Islamic devotee.. he's getting a divorce.. he's.. (this, and that.. ad infinitum..) and the other side is no better.. seems we all are like the J.W.'s.. and Socks claims of the R.C.'s.. doesn't seem to make much difference how old or young the belief happens to be..

Wasn't there a native american story.. of the animals.. they could go to some designated cave, take off their skins, and realize they were all the same..

at this point.. the "cult" label seems freely thrown here at times.. I think they ALL are cults. every last stinking one of them.. not limited to religious. I'm in one of the larger intellectual cults at the moment.. maybe the difference is.. it isn't the individual that sets the standard.. its a mathematical proof.. but a "destruction of SELF" is not required..
