Wait? Are you saying I'm not capable of falling in love?

Cause I'm pretty sure you're right.

I believe in God, a godhead that consists of male and female energies, and therefore I also pray to a Goddess, who is the female half of the godhead. I believe in my personal messiah, Jesus Christ. But I also think there are other messiahs to choose from, other great spiritual leaders across the earth and time that deserve listening to, and they are equally important.

I really do think that God is a mountain, and we are all just climbing different paths to the same peak.

I believe more in personal spirituality than in organized religion. I call myself an Episcopalian for ease, but my personal beliefs are a mishmash of Christianity, Buddhism, Wicca, Hinduism, etc. I practice yoga not only for my physical health, but my spiritual health. When I am in certain poses and totally relaxed, I can feel the energy of the Goddess there. It is very mystical.

I believe in a lot of mystical things that a lot of people would call hooey, but I am fairly logical and most of my belief is based on personal experience of the phenomena in question.

Oh, and I also firmly believe in the power of placebo. Most people who don't understand the power of the placebo effect think that's a little weird, but I think they're dismissing the power of the human mind.

I'm with you about Crompsie. But I think World's King will, too, and it will hit him hard.

Oh, and the under the bed monsters...yea. I've heard 'em.

I believe that Radiohead are this generation's Beatles.

No one else seems to know what I am talking about.

ShaniFaye · 12-10-2007, 01:36 PM

you mean they are as bad and over rated as the Beatles?

/Im sooooo going to get slammed for that

mixedmedia · 12-10-2007, 01:40 PM

Obviously we are not talking about the same Beatles.

ShaniFaye · 12-10-2007, 01:46 PM

sorry....yeah we are....I was never impressed with them...at all (and we are only 3 years apart in age)

I have never ever understood why they were so "great"

mixedmedia · 12-10-2007, 01:54 PM

Well, it would be hard to explain. Like I (sorta) said on another thread today, some music, to me, just has a transcendent quality that is not quantified with normal good music/bad music critiques. It just transcends in my head.

The Beatles seemed to be a musical phenomena that many, many people the world over keyed into in this way.

I key into Radiohead's music in the same way. And that, plus the way their music has evolved from a sort of straight ahead alt-rock into...what it is now...makes them like my generation's Beatles...only I am the only one who thinks so...I think, lol.

Most people like to compare them to Pink Floyd, but I think they are more akin to The Beatles.

But, of course, they are 'like' neither of them. It is more the phenomena around them that I am talking about...rather obtusely.

ShaniFaye · 12-10-2007, 01:57 PM

Now that thinking I can totally agree with....just not on the groups

I sometimes think I love music on a whole other plane people dont even know about

MSD · 12-10-2007, 09:20 PM

I believe that the universe has existed forever, and that it will continue to exist forever. I believe that the human experience is no more than chemical interactions and particles obeying the same rules as everything else, but I respect life as highly as the devoutly religious with the exception that I do not believe that life begins at conception. I also believe that the vast majority of humans are wasting their lives and are barely worth the air they breathe. I believe that belief in God and the supernatural are delusions caused by chance occurrences in brain structure, and that most who claim to believe do so out of fear that their only chance at life is wasted and the fear of what they and others would do if they did not feel accountable to a higher power. I believe that all humans are idiots, so shortsighted as a species that we have no chance to redeem ourselves from the fate we will suffer at our own hands.

I believe that we will kill ourselves off within my lifetime, but that it is unforgivably egotistical to think that we are so great as to be able to destroy anything more than ourselves. I believe that in time, the Earth will return to a healthy state in which a new dominant species will evolve and fail to learn from our mistakes, wiping themselves out as we will.

I've passed up a bunch I wanted to comment on, but I have to say something. Are you familiar with the concepts of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation? Microwaves, like cell phone signals and wireless networks, are inherently incapable of causing cell damage. All they can do at high power is heat things up by bouncing water molecules around.

World's King · 12-10-2007, 09:45 PM

I believe that it's not actually our fault the world is goin' to shit. It's gone to shit a few times before we even showed up. It's gonna happen again. And we'll die off. Then maybe a new race will show up. And do the whole thing all over again. It's all about the circle of life, death, dinosaurs, and apple pie covered in cheese.

Interesting... we concur on most points. The only difference is that I don't believe the vast majority of humans are wasting their lives and are worthless... I think that has more to do with political economy than the inherent "worth" of human beings.

Rense is several steps below the Weekly World News in terms of credibility and reliability. I hate to post a Wikipedia link as a rebuttal, but the facts and references are solid. Non-ionizing radiation cannot cause cellular damage.

I would agree with this to a certain extent.

Not sure how true this is, but I heard the old chinese medicine medical model was almost the complete opposite of ours. You would pay your doctor regularly, who provided regular advice, checkups and guidance for living healthy as long as you were well.. then when you get sick, you dont have to pay your doctore at all, for treatment or anything, until your better. I guess the theory is, if you get sick in the first place, the doctor screwed up somewhere along the line:P A really novel idea, and really provides an incentive for doctors to get you well... either that or pretend you arent sick

I believe that kids and parents should be required to wear shock collars when going out in public. When the child throws a fit long enough and loud enough to disturb others, zap! If the parent does nothing to stop it, zap!

Dogs who poop in my yard should vaporize, along with the owners who allow them to do it.

Tailgaters who get too close to my car should turn into toilet scrubbers.

The color orange should be outlawed.

Crompsin should be president.
