NEODINAR...a well worded post however there remains many holes to fill in human evolvement that will remain theory...spirituality is a far cry from organized religion...of course most people will remain faithful to whatever their parents or environment dictated while maturing.. there seems to be a couple of questions in your post that would be beneficial to those of us that believe in a Creator if they could be answered as casually as you seem to think...just exactly what is our purpose here, what happens at the moment of death (as we understand it...which we don't), and what about the scientific minds that preach other dimensions...did the universe just happen,,,where did GOD come from...Is there GOD...and if not how did something come out of nothing...are we alone in the universe...are there really intelligent alien species amonst us...and on and on goes the mythical merry go round...kinda like the dinar situation, many are in it because they believe in something...unfortunately from a pure scientific theory...there remains as many questions as answers as does the religious concepts you posted about...when we get right down to the nuts and bolts, we all our a little ignorant about a lot of things we don't really understand and what do we really understand about that which we can only theorize and use our limited imagination???? you made a very controversial but interesting post...now maybe we can get some intelligent thoughts on this without emotional stress being the driving force...cheers to you...and blessings from an Intelligence somewhere that we have trouble comprehending so we call the Intelligence, Spirit, Creator....GOD...respect intended to the Creator, you and all folks of religious beliefs even though there seems to be no way in Hell everybody can be "right"......what a stoopid post but I did it anyway and I believe what I believe and feel is reality...we are spiritual beings having a human experience and kinda screwing it up!!!

it's been a slow day so this has been a little amusing....kinda pitiful in a way...but still amusing...cheers evertbody

I wasn't referring to Keep...I don't always agree with him but I don't always agree with me but I like ole Keep...he's ok in my book besides he has a Beemie degree

wassaap...there was something on television about a Nevada Corp back in the winter that was bilking a lot of innocent investors out of megabucks...people need to wise up and do their due diligence before jumping overboard into a pool of sharks...thx for the post

mrparrot...too funny, too true and like Black Swan said Touche'

Maggie somebody negged you for having an honest opinion but somebody else saw fit to neuter it...if they cant take the heat they need to stay away from the fire...cheers Gal

may I add my worthless opinion.....our opinions mean more to ourselves and nothing to most folks anyway...otherwise we would all latch on to somebody elses opinion...thats my opinion so go get your own... ....and Rightsonword...very classy apology my friend...a class act way to end a heated but kinda interesting debate

I mean no offensive oders here so if you smell something it may mean something stinks...after checking the worlds most influential people, then looking at the most brilliant folks, and going deeper and looking for the most powerful dudes then seeing who knows more about Iraq's think tanks, political processes, CBI's activities, etc, etc (you get the idea)....Sorry but couldn't find that dudes name mentiones anywhere....dang!!!! I'm confused....

Scrumdiddles...I hesitate to ask you how you came up with that handle but onward...outstanding post...I have a lot of respect for Jon boy as many people do...He doesn't write in the Looney Tunes section...that said there may be some that have difficulty in understanding the implication and magnitude of his opinions...cheers

Rod..thx for the humor...up til now the only laugh I had today was when I looked in the mirror.. :

thx yota...made my morning coffee taste better...now if I just had one of 98's stogies...cheers

umbertino...interesting indeed and one can only wonder from what source the authors inspiration and imagination comes from...cheers....been listening to some old 60's and 70's love songs today...splendid!!! The Everly Brothers grew up not too far up the road.

umbertino..different sort of music my dear friend....being realistic from a novice standpoint...to think we are alone in this universe, this demension or whatever would be limiting the image we hold of the Creator...after all why should such rascals as us, the morons of the universe, be the only inhabitants? My response to the question of why intelligent beings not contact us to begin with is in the question. Intelligent!! lol but quite seriously stated. Interesting post. By the way , I have seen strange looking flying objects that defied all earth bound knowledge of physics and anti-physics. What I don't know but I know they were not from the bottom land of Kentucky....perhaps we should be more spiritual and less warmongers then we might have wisdom beyond our comprehension paying us visits????? ...cheers

not trying to start an argument rather stating an unsolicited dumb opinion...sheepherders that control the majority of wealth and power on planet earth are able to control the destiny of not only the economies and future of countries but handpicked politicians as well...what is it that keeps so many intelligent people in the dark about the elites that are power brokers??...he who controls the money controls a lot of other things...The Bilderberger group doesn't hold their meetings in absolute secrecy guarded by a small private army of top security forces because they are having a weenie roast!!! Who are the top dogs in that group? Do you suppose there are any "common" millionaires invited? Roths and Rockies as usual are the string pullers, along with a few handpicked pals like ole George S. Take it back to Iraq...why is mass confusion the norm at the moment? Who really owns controlling interest in the CBI? Who put the faces on the front burner there? Why is it that powers that could help the situation in iRAQ seem to care less about immediate closure. Sure there are factions in constant battle but they are stirred by foreign interests. My stoooopid pointless post is this...there is a lot of water not visible under the surface of a river, especially if it's muddy only the surface water is visible. A lot of us are getting cranky, me too, but we only hope and pray things will work out for the best for the common folks of Iraq. If we profit a tiny bit...good! My honest opinion is whether we were Paul supporters or not...the power brokers were not going to let it happen just like they didn't let Ross Perot. The political outcome just may have already been decided here as well as in Iraq.....Maybe!!! cheers

does seem like at times the thoughts, words, and sentence structure take on a bit of nonsensensual rambling as though the neurons are firing in strange territories...tthank ihas anudder shat...er shot of willy turkee...hic ..cuse me! :D

Smee and Bama...I love both of you lil dumplins....one thing is certain...as long as there are humans there will be difference of opinions about many things and each of us are protective of our own views and beliefs...we are influenced, manipulated, and programmed by outside influences since birth so where do our beliefs actually originate???? maybe we should all take some "think" time...the Creator seems to have blessed us with something besides a hat rack...blessings

find it kinda strange that he joined today and is suddenly blessed with all these chiivalry feelings of bliss and kissee-kissee...and is immediately looking for overseas favors from yours truly....hhhmmmm!!! surely no one would add a new account so as to sound like someone else to try to add credibility to some nonsense ...or would they? you are absolutely correct...he's just been creeping around the forums for a month or so but been in the investment for 7 years........OK....that really sounds like_________ fill in the blank according to your own assessment...I is a new commer and brilliant with werds two :lol: sorry I meant bench comer ...er beach!! Sarcasim????? sorry for the negative attitude but my coffee tasted bitter....will add some sweetner next time...have a good day inspite of me! ....

ditto!!! I think my IQ dropped 20 points.

I have a great topic????????????????

Bama said it quite well...sure have met some great and interesting folks on this ride and regardless of whether we make a dime or a million or nothing if any of you come close to my neck of the woods ...email me and dinner is on my card...in the meantime enjoy your life, let those you love know it and be a blessing to all you meet...cheers!

with Bama praying...you can't go wrong and of course the others too!! prayers for the fires to die!!!

good post...lets hope the positive atmosphere continues as it will mean a boost to the Iraq economy as well as a good partner for trade/commerce.

thx for the post kamelkeeper...seems the biggest challenge we have now is which bunch of these people to believe!!! Some say they have the votes others say they don't. I have a strange feeling that the average Iraqi citizen just wishes they would do something constructive rather than bickering constantly...and me toooo!!!

sorry about the double post...I got new glasses and been seeing double ever since...

thx everyone for responding...let me know what you decide
