WHAT IS LIFE?

This is the most difficult thing to describe or explain. So here is my interpretation of it.

LIFE as we humans understand it means, any organism that breathes air/oxygen, eats food to sustain itself, procreates itself in order to ensure longevity, and have unique ways of communicating with each other, or similar organisms.

WHY ARE SCIENTISTS SO BENT ON FINDING HUMAN LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS:

I think it is because they (by and large), feel that there might be other humans living on other planets, that look just like us.

And I have issues with this contention, because human life is not homogenous. We are different, speak differently, communicate differently, and behave differently.

So even if other human like beings exists on other planets, they may not necessarily have two legs, walk upright, speak verbally, procreate, or even indulge in sexual intercourse.

All Established Churches, Mosques And Synagogues Must Pay Taxes!

All Established Churches, Mosques And Synagogues Must Pay Taxes!


These proselytizing religious organizations, mosques, masjids, and churches MUST be made to pay property taxes, land ownership taxes, and other related taxes. These organizations operate like a business. They pay their preachers, pastors, and maintenance personnel salaries. Therefore, they aught to pay taxes just like their parishioners do, from their wages and for their homes too.

For decades these organizations were able to recruit members, exploit them coercively, through threats, or compulsion, to pay a TITE or part of their incomes to the church. In some religious organizations like Islam. A certain percentage of the convert's income must be given to the mosque.

The Lavish Life Style Of Preachers:

In some churches, it is quite evident how lavish the preacher or pastor lives. He has a modern or the latest car for his family. He/she dresses in the latest fashion, (though sometimes very modestly), wears jewelry and other accessories just like most of the parishioners do. And one wonders if this life style is not a lucrative business, especially for those who do not, or is not expected to pay the state any taxes.

Who Says Churches Are Entitled To A Free Pass?

For decades these religious organizations behaved as though they have A Divine Right to operate without due regard, or to pay Caesar his due as the Bible says. Which conflicts with the view of Jesus, who said, 'Give Unto Caesar What Is Caesars. ' Meaning, pay your taxes if you do not want to be arrested and charged by Caesar's magistrates.

RELIGION-INTAFADA & MUJAHIDEEN Explained!

RELIGION-INTAFADA & MUJAHIDEEN Explained!

FACTS FOR THOSE WHO THINK:

The Mayflower English Settlers who landed in Plymouth-USA, were Evangelical Christians. They came here to escape persecution in Britain mostly.

In time they IMPOSED their religion on the INDIGENOUS NATIONS. Today, referred or called American Indians.

So Americans have NO RIGHT to declare this nation A CHRISTIAN NATION. When they did EXACTLY what they fear the Moslems might do to this country with Islam.


THE JEWISH MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY:

Michael Bloomberg, FIRED a female Arab American Principal from a school in NYC, because she sponsored ,or tolerated the selling of Tea Shirts with the inscription written on it which says "INTAFADA-NYC".

For this reason the Mayor felt she should be fired.

He probably felt that she subscribed to his Jewish and American paranoia of that word INTAFADA.

Especially the Israeli Lobbyists in New York City & State.


TEACHING RELIGION IN PUBLICLY FUNDEDD SCHOOLS:

I personally feel that RELIGION of any kind aught NOT to be taught in any school or college, funded by tax payers money.

This is the domain for the private schools, colleges, mosques, masjids, churches, or synagogues.


SOME ARABIC TERMS:

INTAFADA means an uprising (Armed or Un-armed).

MUJAHIDEEN means Resistance Fighters (mostly Armed).

TALIBAN means a Cleric whose theology is based on the historic practices of Islam in the days of the prophet Mohammed, (mostly fundamentalist).

Is Love An Illusion?

Is Love An Illusion?

There are those who believe that it is, and have become cynical, ever since they claim to have been hurt too many times before. But was it truly love they felt? Or was it an emotional roller coaster they had?

Personally, I believe that to experience true love is a privilege. And most of us may never have that opportunity in this life. But for the few who do, they will know it is real, profound, and can never be erased from memory or feelings.

Because when you have experienced true love, you cannot hate that person, cannot lose it,and will cherish that experience for as long as you live, regardless of whether you are together or apart. Or whether the physical relationship or togetherness is still possible or necessary. These things cannot influence your love for that person, Period.

At What Age Is It Possible To Love?

I believe that when an individual reaches adolescence he/she should have the necessary mental and psychological maturity to determine what he/she feels for another is really true love, passion, lust, emotional security, dependence, or fantasy.

Of course, this will differ from person to person, depending on his/her emotional/psychological state of mind too. But 'ceteris paribus,' a matured individual or adult aught to recognize what is real, from what is fantasy or self-delusion.

Can Consciousness Exist Outside The Brain?

Can Consciousness Exist Outside The Brain?

Personally, I believe it does, for the following reasons:

Consciousness is that invisible element within humans that makes us aware of ourselves. We can identify ourselves as individuals within a group, mainstream society, or culture. The brain is like a computer that files away all impressions it receives via the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, or touch. All of these files are accessed automatically when we want to speak, or respond to anything, or some experience instantaneously.


This is so normal to most humans today that hardly anyone pays attention to it, unless some mental or neurological problem arises. Then we may seek professional help or advice. However, the consciousness is an invisible element. Unlike the brain which is a physical element within us. So when someone experiences 'Out Of Body Consciousness,' it is the brain having some confusion with accessing some of the files in memory storage, and have mis-interpreted some of those senses.

Therefore, what the eye sees, or does not see, and the brain interprets, or does not interpret correctly, may cause the individual to hear, see, or experience one of the above experiences, that hitherto resulted in someone being placed in a mental institution, burnt at the stake, or considered demon possessed.

Hindu Re-incarnation:

This philosophy subscribes to the view that one has to take several physical bodies in several life cycles, in order to cleanse himself/herself from all evil, or Bad Karma. And when he/she has finally done that, he/she will have attained Nirvana or Enlightenment, and will never have to take another physical body again.

This concept is just like the example 'Out Of Body Consciousness Where converts or followers, believes in this process, and will not see it as something to be feared, but something that comes with being human, or being in the process of eradicating Bad Karma.

THE CATHOLIC POPE & His Pedophile Brother!

http://mimbari.livejournal.com/

March 12-2-010:

THE CATHOLIC POPE & His Pedophile Brother!

Is an institution of BUGGERY. Not the place any decent person wants his/her child to associate with.

The current Pope was a bishop in Munich-Germany, who knew or heard allegations that his own brother was involved in the Buggering of Altar Boys in his diocese, and he said or did nothing about it.

That was the norm in most countries where the Catholic Church has it's tentacles in. They had Church Schools that allowed the flogging of students at will, as part of the daily corporal punishments allowed in most Catholic Schools, and Public Schools for decades.

I too was one of those children who experienced severe beating from Nuns and Teachers in the Public/Catholic school that I attended.

These hypocrites threaten the flock with PURGATORY and PERDITION if they refused to read the Catechism (or the Church Bible), and influence the Educational Curriculum and Outcomes in most schools, associated with the Catholic Church.

Even the political administration of the state was subtly coerced into allowing them to operate as they see fitting. That is why it took so many decades for these revelations of child pedophilia in the churches to go public.

For several decades the Catholic and other Churches hid behind the Social Taboos associated with Homosexuality, and allowed their own Sexual Predators to continue Buggering The Altar Boys, Choir Boys, and Scouts, with impunity.

Call these Monsters Out Every time You Hear Of This Brutality And Unsavory Acts to Young People!
