How do you propose that we draw the line between consumption/overconsumption Cubano? Through legislation? When do we say, "okay, we've made enough progress now. no more new houses, cars, boats."? Doesn't the desire to better our economic condition in life whilst living in a free society...

lol. what are the chances of him being in Columbus! :D

i wasn't really talking so much about trading. i had assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that those who espoused detachment sought to live their whole lives in this kind of a state - a state that was in some way different to that that the "attached" lived, and wanted to know what benefit this brings...

lemme see if i get this. "detachment" helps to see things as they "really are", and as a result, (among other things) we are able to increase our skills in action? have i got that about right? i'm not really sure then where the "detachment" really comes into it. surely thinking rationally...

what is the purpose of this self-detachment? in what way is a person changed after reaching this level of detachment? in what way is his life better? what i am getting at, is what benefit is there for a person to seek detachment? i hope i don't get some answer like, "what! you only want...

wait a sec, i thought the candleman was a true believer, but i guess he thinks god only "might" exist... doesn't say much for his faith... at least he's one step closer to reality :)

i used to have big problems handling losses. i'd always want to give the trade a little more room. this lead to doubling down and just blind hoping. it's so funny when i look back now at what an idiot i was. the need to make the current trade a winner was just soooo important...what an...

sorry buddy, wrong answer maybe it is YOUR OPINION that god=universe, but to most christians and theists i know of, god and universe are separate. also, don't you think it's a little confusing to use "god" and "universe" synonymously? equating "god" with "universe" is a really cheap...

about that comment i made that the impact of the koran has been at least comparable to that of the bible, this is what i meant: the koran has exerted a strong influence on the lives of certain human beings (for better or worse; (MUCH MORE worse)) and this influence on people in the world is...

listen to this johnny-come-lately will ya! don't you think that in 250+ pages some theistic nimrod would've already made that same ludicrous and unsubstantiated assertion?!? "god is everywhere, in everything..."....sheesh, what deadbeats there are in this world... it's a pity you don't...

no smokey... people keep getting this wrong....ahpie just hasn't traded futures b4. don't forget he's an expert in options..

of course you do 'dolt, of course you do :D

well that's an interesting crackpot professor you've turned up for us. especially seeings as christian biblical scholars themselves believe (based on the evidence) that the gospels were written by multiple authors. "Luke" was not a single person.

it can categorically be stated that no christian will ever allow the bible to be contradicted by reality, because the christian will simply re-interpret the bible in such a way that no contradiction exists.

a rational argument doesn't rest on the authority of the person making it. These professors get no respect from me, as far as their opinion on religion goes. Either they have no evidence to support their empty assertions (no surprise there!) or you don't wish to show it to me.

when people say the Bible IS true... 1. they are parroting back to what some fool told them. 2. they are looking for a way to rationalize the word of god into their lives 3. they are unaware that the influence a book exerts is no measure at all of its truthfulness. perhaps you might...

you are posting the most ridiculous drivel i have ever read! :D i can think of a thousand events in history that are "proved by better and fuller evidence" right off the top of my head. your argument is basically, "professor joe schmoe believed in jesus, professor joe bloggs believed in...

did you happen to read this thunder-mo-fo-dolt???????

are you normal??????/ the truthfulness of the bible is exactly what is at question!!!!! you can't go and use it as evidence! we have to refer to other sources of information that will either confirm, deny, support or weaken the bible's story! if you use the bible, ask, WHO WROTE IT? the...

where the HELL do you get off saying no one is answering your questions when in THE PREVIOUS POST i just asked WHAT WOULD YOU ACCECPT AS EVIDENCE OF TRANSITION????????? IMBECILE! the evidence clearly is there: that the whole jesus story was indeed the greatest ever fraud perpetrated on...
