To take it a stage further, if there were cast iron evidence of the existence god (as in omnipotent being), perhaps there would be no need for faith (this is starting to sound like that Hitchhiker’s Guide logic). :-) — Paul Use the reply by email facility in your newsreader to send email

I don’t believe in God for the same reasons I don’t believe in Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny and the angel lady on the cloud in the Philladelphia Cream Cheese commercial. There is simply no evidence that there is a god, heaven, hell, afterlife or whichever way you want to go with it. It is simply mythology.

Good sentiment, Paul, but I see things a little differently. Bobby, are you reading this? Your situation has nothing to do with God or religion. It’s just a bitch of a place to find yourself after you’ve done nothing wrong in your life… life’s not been kind to you and there ain’t no great reward on the other side of the rainbow. But I think I know you well enough to say that you get pleasure out of many things in life, especially music and people and better yet if the two are combined. That’s your joy. And you’re obviously one tough motherfucker too, and that’s how you handle the pain and the grief and the craziness that is most of the rest of the world. But don’t waste your time looking for strength up in the sky cuz it’s not there. It’s right inside you. You are the source of the strength and the happiness and the joy, not only for yourself but I’ll bet you give a lot of all three to those who you spend time with. That’s what it’s all about, bud, and it’s all in how you look at it. You’re only here once, and you make of it what you make of it. You’re a long time dead. All the best to you, Bobby. Now roll a nice blend and listen to some good tunes (but don’t smoke your bible!). There will be good things in today, but you might miss them if you dwell on things you can’t change. Waterspider

I recall Cody getting more than a few flames about the Daily Messages (I think one even came from me), and in all fairness he didn’t bring up the religious thread. I don’t think that we should have to ignore posts that offend us, any of us, for any reason. The trick is to confine it to the thread and not let the discussion degrade to shit-flinging. <g> WS

No, sorry. I haven’t fooled with a MAC since 1985. Then I went to an IBM 286. I believe, however, that she can save her scans in .jpg format with a MAC. Cody

You don’t know the history. Posting things like "bibilical fact" is almost as ludicrous and insults the intelligence as much as the Intelligent Design/Adam and Eve theory.

Thanks Cody, Hmmm by the way, do you know of any file converter that will convert *.cwk files into *.jpg files? My little sister has a Mac and just sent me some photos of her new house. They came in cwk format. I’ve never heard of that. But, have never even sat down at a Mac. So, I’m clueless. Any help would be appreciated!

LOL. The Bible has no facts, just lies. And, you just lied, you *are* preaching. There is no evidence that believing in a non existant god like the one the Christian Church uses to control people provides any cure for Hep C so please stop your preaching. Thanks, Cody

Did you not have a feel for the self-esteem book? I think it may be one of his less known books. yes it is a good book also What I like about the other one is the constant reminder of out emotional distortions And the fact you have pages with training . I always have the feeling our biggest hangups are the Shoulds the Woulds and the Ifs I was with a friend last week and we discussed Buddhism ( the lifestyle that fits me )and I daid I was not unlike REBT My friend told me that Ellis wrote a piece on the similarities in Buddhism and REBT I was happily surprised What really surprises me is the lack of answers to my malformed (whic instead of which<G)question. I would think that many in this group have read the Burns books at one time or another. This is not a complaint, just an expression of surprise. I am surprised also cause it is a very well known book here. But posting seems a bit slow these days (summer ?) Maybe you should put HELP before the question <G Thank you again for the reply, link and especially the love. Thor You are most welcome
