does any 1 here have or ever had depression? Yea I am a manic depressive and get anxiety sometimes that would probably rip your chest in half... The one thing I don't have though is a bad attitude towards others.. I read what you said to civilian joe and man did your true color come out fast.. You don't give a **** about anybody but yourself.. How do I know this? b/c you give a false representation of yourself to others in order to help perpetuate your career.. If you genuinely cared about people you wouldnt have brushed of Joe b/c he didn't know any better. Your role as a counselor is to relate and help untangle any hardships your "patient" has while being professional at all times.. If you have never been clinically depressed then how can you honestly say you understand how these other people feel? You can't. Most people who are depressed in fact have nothing wrong with them. The problem is they care to much.. I know this might sound strange to you but think of it this way. The most creative people in this world are typically the most depressed.. It is their fine attention to detail and extreme sensitivity to the world around them that usually pushes their plate off of the table... Want an example? Like I said at the top of this post.. I am a manic depressive. If it is one thing that hurts me it's knowing that your just shoveling dirt over what may be serious problems for some people. If anything you are more a cause then a solution for some peoples depression, and you do it for a career. Go write a book Mr. Freud/fraud and I hope you can sleep at night. It only proves you aren't human.. |

your nobody!!!!!!!

If somebody loving you or caring for you is what makes you a somebody then I want to be a nobody.. Though they are nice things to have they aren't necessary. You keep being you and **** anybody or anything that is making you feel this way.
I can honestly say I don't love or care about you (how could i? I don't know you and we aren't related) One thng is for sure though I am def talking to SOMEBODY.. (unless you are just a computer program.... In that scenario you are right, you are nobody, BUT thats when you change gears and say you are SOMETHING because its impossible to be nothing.. (I've tried; damn infomercials) |

Hey for 21 years old I wouldn't say I am doing that bad.. I DO know enough about you and your posting habits to disregard what you have to say, and I also know enough about catholics to stay away from them...

Your kind tried to kill us off years ago when our logic challenged the ground your "very" fairy tales where created upon. Don't mind us though, ignorance is bliss. I am am totally disappointed in the sgtpepper no wonder you band was lonely......arr arr arr lol. I dont want to change your beliefs. They are your own. I listen to the other side "christian opinion" every day. I have also done more research on my own spirituality than most christians. again your beliefs are you own but remember that understanding is a conscience effort. As they say... Its always lonely at the top. |

Well yeah. These are just guesses from both perspectives. I think where I was going with this is that the snake itself, if we can at least agree that it was a snake. Maybe it wasn't but we seem to feel it was. The snake was also associated with these Pre-Christian religions. I think we have established that beyond a shadow of a doubt here. So we have both sides. Its also possible that the snake (symbol of Paganism) was twisted and "dethroned" so to speak and associated with pure evil or Satan. Hmmm. ![]() Thus opening the doors to christian based influence? This is agreeable to me, but i still can't figure out why we have religion in the first place... (this one will take a lifetime to figure out I feel.) Well not really. I think (only my opinion) that man has always been fearful of death. Religion and spirituality is a way to ease discomfort and explain the unexplainable. You have to remember to these early people, just about everything would have been mysterious or frightening. The two topping the list would have been death and birth I would imagine. That leads us down the religion path. How does life come into the world? How does it leave. Reincarnation? Rebirth? How? These are the possible sources of these early people's belief systems. Correct me if I am wrong but prior to christianity, It is my understanding that death was worshiped as it brought life. Like the burning man etc. Where did the fear come from? Conditioning? and by who and when exactly? Those are some questions for the ages. |

Well if we agree it was some kind of snake, perhaps it wasn't but that seems to be the common symbolism depicted today or what we associate it with, here is but one: The Snake Goddess was one of the Minoan divinities associated closely with the snake cult. She is called also Household Goddess due to her attribute of the snake, which is connected with welfare of the Minoan house. But the snake is also symbol of the underworld deity, so the Snake Goddess is related to chthonic aspects too. Two famous faience Snake Goddesses from Knossos belong to the New-Palace period (about 1600 BCE). The reason I pulled up this snake/Goddess association specifically is the date. These snakes had been associated with the Goddess for quite some time prior to the advent of Christianity. This was ancient Crete. An advanced and well established culture by all accounts. This is only one interpretation. You can go in whatever direction you want Tribo. Carry on. http://www.goddessgift.net/images/Goddess%20Minoan%20Snake%20AT-D-82.jpg Thats a visual depiction of her. ![]() ![]() i was just trying to give you something you'd asked about as well as I'm able : "I guess if we are moving on here. I would wonder why it was a snake exactly that was the vehicle of this temptation? What is the significance of the serpent? And why did the snake approach Eve and not Adam instead?" as i say as i looked at it i found what i posted, if i had known you wanted info outside the book then i wouldn't have bothered i can see there is plenty of speculation to go around. so I'll leave it to you and the others to continue in that respect, i can only speak for what the Hebrews or OT and NT say on it i have no other tools to exigis anything else so for me it would be all about taking someone Else's word for what something means and that could be anything. not that they might not be correct, but i have no way of looking into it in depth at the present. sorry With all due respect, How do you justify your beliefs/information without having some knowledge to compare it to? I am not trying to provoke an argument.. I would just like to know if you wouldn't mind sharing. ![]() That is all I was asking. I was not challenging the validity to your stance... i can only speak for what the Hebrews or OT and NT say on it i have no other tools to exigis anything else so for me it would be all about taking someone Else's word for what something means and that could be anything. This being the only reason I asked. No hard feelings. ![]() |
