It's from the beginning of The Graduate. A friend of Ben's parents takes him outside (during his graduation party) and tells him to think about one word "Plastics". As if "Plastics" are the end all be all of the world and the Ben needs to get into the plastics industry. It's kind of a...

Yea, tell which way the market is going tomorrow?

Ok, I guess I’ll play along for a little bit. What you are saying in a nutshell is that there are different kinds of “want” much like there are different kinds of love Example Agape Love – is unconditional love that is only attainable by God. Amore Love – is the general...

Is it consuming the planet or is it being fed to the planet?

Can you explain to pagans (like myself) how something that is all powerful can have a "will" or a "want"? I'm still missing that whole concept. Once again, I don't think God cares if you're a Pope or a porn star.

That would be my guess as well, but how much of that crossover is the result of the desire of the Christian and Islamic faiths' to expand, where as the Eastern religions just don't really care about expansion? And along those same lines, another interesting question I think would be are...

OK in, What you call "faith" and what I call "creation" could easily be construed as the same thing, as could anyone's belief in any of the major religions. Ask yourself this? What is really happening when one prays? You might say that you were speaking with the Christian God (as would...

Well stu, clearly I don't have all the answers either, I've just spent an incredibly high percentage of my life on this earth buying into the crap that is spewed out by the Christian churches until I decided to find some better answers. I'm not sure if God exists as a singular being or...

I think you missed my point Are you implying that those 4 finalists were religious and the other 396 applicants were not? Not a miracle, merely a creation. So does this imply that I did something wrong in my 25 years of being a good Christian boy. Because my "path" was not properly...

I didn't say "happy positive thoughts", I said creative visualizations (which doesn't imply a lack of divine intervention). There is a difference (to understand the difference you need to read Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain), but that's immaterial. How do you explain me or the 400...

Oh sorry, I forgot that was you. I do respect that you know so many languages and I wish knew more.

I was the perfect little Christian boy for 25 years of my life until I finally realized that I was the only one being a Christian. All the other people at church were constantly taking advantage of my kindness and using all sorts of power plays to promote their own agenda. So how do I...

I guess God just liked your friend better than me.

Well, since we're traders that play by the percentages, I think its only fair that I contribute the hundreds of times I prayed or made a donation and nothing saved my pathetic ass.

Isn't it great

Religions are good and bad. Many religions provide for the poor and typically they instill some strong values in their followers (although not all the values they instill are beneficial to society e.g. self-righteousness). The reality is that religions and political parties are really the...

Exactly, except then I wouldn't be profitable. (In reality I'm actually petty much an independent, I was just trying to get some laughs)

Interesting, By looking at the stats, I should become a democrat because 83% of democrats are profitable were as only 63% of republicans are profitable (I’m assuming this means profitable over ones entire life). Sweet!!! All I have to do is become a whining, bleeding heart, tax and...

And what's the difference between that situation and the current US situation? - Their markets were overinflated by poor monetary policy, our markets were overinflated by poor monetary policy. -You can be assured that the US government will soon be spending trillions of dollars to try...

Thanks
