My faith personally involves no troublesome inconsistencies,,,
Or, in other words, you find it possible justifying those troublesome inconsistencies? ? ? I am no more mindless for respecting the authority of God than employees are for respecting the authority of their employer or children are for respecting the authority of their parents.
Employers, parents, etc. -- those in authority -- are REAL beings! That's normal. But respecting the authority of some fairytale is not!!! |

Let me repeat again: The best lovers are the senior citizens!!! See, every time they have sex, they can't help but thinking it would be their last time... AND THEY PERFORM!!!... Not just some senior citizens, but the ones w thick cheque book as well. Funeral fee is expensive you know... In other words, if I understans you correctly, Older man are better because ... they can afford their own funerals??? WOW! That's a cheerful thought!!! Thinking ahead, are you? (I could never live with a men while constantly thinking: "When, oh when will he finally join his predecessors???") |

_____________________Seriously, though:____________________
Some inconsistencies really are troublesome -- Leave the mythology behind, and learn to think for yourself. Your intellect is a better instrument of spiritual growth than any religious teachings. 1. When you subscribe to a religion, you substitute nebulous group-think for focused, independent thought. Instead of learning to discern truth on your own, you’re told what to believe. This doesn’t accelerate your spiritual growth; on the contrary it puts the brakes on your continued conscious development. Religion is the off-switch of the human mind. 2. Religions are authoritarian hierarchies designed to dominate your free will. They’re power structures that aim to convince you to give away your power for the benefit of those who enjoy dominating people. When you subscribe to a religion, you enroll in a mindless minion training program. Religions don’t market themselves as such, but this is essentially how they operate. Religions are very effective at turning human beings into sheep. They’re among the most powerful instruments of social conditioning. They operate by eroding your trust in your own intellect, gradually convincing you to put your trust into some external entity, such as a deity, prominent figure, or great book. Simply by convincing you to give your power away to something outside yourself (supposedly much greater and wiser), religion will condition you to be weaker, more docile, and easier to control. Religions actively promote this weakening process as if it were beneficial, commonly branding it with the word faith. What they’re actually promoting is submission * * * * * * As long as there are large numbers of people who fear the responsibility of their own power, religions will continue to dominate the landscape of human development If you want to talk to God, then communicate directly instead of using third-party intermediaries. Surely God has no need of an interpreter. Don’t fall into the trap of becoming a mindless minion. It’s a mistake to think that turning off your mind and practicing mindless “faith” will bring you closer to God. In truth it will only bring you closer to dog. * * * Seriously, if you have insomnia, try reading religious texts before bedtime. You’ll be asleep faster than you can say Methuselah. Why do you think hotels put Bibles next to the bed? It’s the greatest sedative known to man -- reading some of the worst fiction ever written. 3. Your religious donations fund freeloaders who mooch off society but who generally provide little or no value in return. These freeloaders typically operate tax-free, meaning they’re effectively subsidized by taxpayers. That’s a great racket if you’re on the receiving side… not so great if you’re funding it though. * Religions offer a suite of special services: They’ll spout some gibberish while feeding you a crusty wafer, pronounce you bonded to a fellow human being, snip some of your excess skin, pour water on your head, proclaim your manhood, cast out your demons, pronounce your transgressions forgiven, and so on. When they can’t think of anything else, they make up some drivel like confirming you’re still loyal to them. The bill may read “suggested donation,” but it’s still a bill. {Any tricks to generate additional income.} ***> When you donate money to a religious organization, you’re doing much worse than throwing your money away. You’re actively funding evil. If you think that spending a billion dollars to defend pedophiles and rapists is a good use of your hard-earned cash, perhaps you should run for Pope. You could hardly do worse. At least Wall Street is honest about its greed and lust. * * * |

Its not that I don't believe, but without a hard evidence its difficult to maintain the faith!
Although, I've heard, when R.Nixon was shown a body of the dead alien, he said: "Hide it away, and NEVER show it to anybody!!!" |

Avoiding getting hurt seems like a reasonable way of life. However, accepting the spits directed into my very soul is a bit more than I can handle! Thus, I've addopted the wise falk wisdom:
DON'T GET MAD -- GET EVEN!!!

Look, the only way to have a second chance is by changing yourself, i.e. acquiring new qualities -- better job, better status, different outlook on life, etc.etc.etc. Then you'll be in a better position to win a second chance (or you'll have the opportunity of finding so many new "opportunities" that the second chance will no longer seem as attractive)!!!
