I agree...wonder why those verses are not promote by Christians, as of late? I think people have replaced the whole Bible, with 'The Second Amendment!' That is all I have heard the Evangelicals claiming, for several years! And the NRA, concurs! And, trumpee, brings the 'cool-aid!'

Day from hell.

Freedompath comments on Apr 3, 2018:

Be sure to check your paranoia gauge first! I have found that if my energy field seems 'off' things go awry in outside places for me, too! Moving is getting to me and a couple of days age, I took a load of stuff to the second storage bin, that I had to rent, and someone had taken it over and put their lock on it! Each bin is kept locked and opened on the day you move in and then you put your own lock on it. And, someone got there before me, and just claimed it for themselves! When these things happen, they seem to happen, all around me!

Myths are ghosts of ancient storytellers and their audiences.

Freedompath comments on Apr 3, 2018:

That would be what Joseph Campbell, taught! It took me sometime to grasp what is meant by mythology. But it is ancient wisdom, coming down in the collected consciousness. This could be how, sometimes we 'know' stuff and we can't explain how/why we know it.

Freedompath comments on Apr 3, 2018:

Texas is confusing to me, as far as that Bible Belt thing. Some parts seem, progressive and others more like, the 'Tea Party!' A person may need to have longer exposure to each to know how certain areas swing! Best of luck, if you are in Bible Belt...hopefully it isn't as backwards intelligently as it is here, in N. Ga!

"The Fall of Freddie the Leaf", by Leo Buscaglia.

Freedompath comments on Apr 2, 2018:

My 'higher power,' is the energy that I was born with, which gives me the ability, to make a life! Einstine, proved all life is 'energy' operating at a different frequency. I believe that is still true. I must admit, that it was in AA that I learned something different about God, than I had been taught at church! I was there because I had married an alcoholic and I was going to al-non! That was 48 yrs ago! I have friends who are still in the AA program, some because they want to be there for 'new' people coming in.

Does someone have to be college educated to be intelligent?

Freedompath comments on Apr 2, 2018:

I agree completely! I have read thousands of non-fiction books, attended lectures, I bought The Great Couses, on the study of religious, philosophy, psychology, and many studies on the brain. All this study has paid off in my old age, compared to my peers! But, I do see, where the college discipline is need, if you are to pursue one career choice! And you need the 'record' to prove your worth in a specific study!

Freedompath comments on Apr 2, 2018:

Well non-believers don't believe something simply because it is written in some book! And, yes, we might pick and choose what to believe...if we can't make good sense out of a matter, we may not believe it! No where is it written, that in order to be a decent human being we must embrace Christianity...except in their Bible! Where is it written that we must believe the promoters of Christianity? It isn't written anyplace that we should embrace 'non-belief,' ...we just make our own choice by NATURE!

I just watched a church service today that I found disturbing.

Never gave kissing much thought, until you posted! I remembered back when I was married to third husband, his kissing was more like, 'suck fish,' and I never got used to it! I surely didn't want to judge a man by his kissing, but it was odd, at best! Maybe you cannot teach kissing...do we know if the 'caveman/women' kissed?

Do you feel a division happening in this country?

Freedompath comments on Apr 1, 2018:

There is a MAJOR division between people in this country and has only gotten worse, since trump showed up, to spread his distorted reality! Seems things are either black or white, good or bad...degrees do not matter! Minor flaw same as major flaw, and deserves the same punishment! Humaness, is not acceptable in our society, it seems! But, people with limited mental capacity, gets top billing!

Trump vs Amazon: Concern or Jealousy? [money.cnn.com]

Freedompath comments on Apr 1, 2018:

If trump was a rational thinking/behaving person, I would believe that he had some purely spiteful motive! I believe that he has a distorted perception of reality, problem! He is not a normal person! And, his minions collude with him to earn favor or they have the same distorted perception of reality problem, too! Amazon, uses the laws, just as trump, does! He should take it to the Republican Congress and make a new law..., something that trump has known about all his life...unless, he has been living all this time in the broiler room at 'trump tower!' This trump person is getting harder and harder to laugh at! As distroying a country's government system, is no laughing matter! Especially, watching a 'madman' do it!!

These people are terrified of being different...at least that is my assessment! They are little ducks in a row! Follow your own heart, we all deserve to be ourselves and happy!

I really feel for you. It was long long ago that I had similar experiences. I think that you need to stay true to what makes you feel good about yourself, at all times! It is so easy to take being intimate casually, but for some people, it does more harn, than what was gotten out of the 'hook up' experience. I was one of those people. Find a way to have fun, with all kinds of people and especially when looking for a mate! Maybe, there is some volunteer group that you are interested in, where you can meet up with prospective mates. If you are having fun and involved with others (aside from work), you will be less vulnerable, to hooking up with just anyone out of desporation. At any rate, get to know a guy at least enough to feel him out first...before you give yourself up...he may just want to prowl and you...just might not want to be a 'prowlee!'

Many people live there full time and others stop off, as they travel to other places! It is very reasonable! There are many RV parks in Deming and lots of retired people live in them! I got so accustomed to the small space with everything at my fingertips, that I do plan to build a tiny house on property that I purchased, there!

Wow! I thought I was a deep thinker, but I never thought that deep about, the 'crackers' being cannibalism...did think about 'wine' (grape juice), being blood. But, the whole notion could go back to ancient times, when they really did eat the dead? But, why would we need anything about food out of that ancient wisdom, in today's modern society? Most of society has enough food sources, at least in the Christian part!

And, yes I tried to educate people about my condition, that was work as well and didn't always help me! But, as I aged it did subside a lot and after I had back surgery last year, my condition has gone altogether! I feel like a new person! I wish this on everybody! I have no real explanation for the total turnaround! So it can happen! If it can happen to one person, then it should be possible for others!

I think this true in the case of trump, his whole reality is slanted toward a different angle, than normal people! To him, his is telling the truth!

Freedompath comments on Mar 28, 2018:

Yes, I am prone to that addiction! And, here as I am moving I am paying a high price for it! I am forced to go through the stuff and box it up and donate a great deal of it back! I see what my problem is...when I see something that cost a lot more originally than is offered in the thrift store, I think I may need 'that thing' now or most likely in the future! I found things behind other things, that I forgot that I had and it was there for years!! I could have been out of here a month ago, if I was not trapped here with sorting through things, that were to be used at some future date, in my life! And, it has come about when my physical body can only do so much, extra stuff! I would have come out ahead of this game, to have gone out and bought only the thing that I used on a regular basis...at it's normal price! It has become so distressing that I am starting to hate all my "stuff'! I WILL, take up a more productive habit, in the future! This is surely a waste of time and money, because adding together all the stuff, that I had to truck back to re-donate, I lost money...big time! It hurts to 'lay bare' yourself, to yourself!!

How do you sleep?

Freedompath comments on Mar 27, 2018:

If you believe that you would be more comfortable on your stomach, you could put a good sized pillow under your lower abdomen (between waist and crotch). It must be firm enough to hold your back up firmly! But, you would need to leave off pillow for your head. To relieve nerve pain, I use memory form on top of my mattress, and I use a contoured form pillow...not to plump...to keep neck in alignment with spine. Good luck

Can you have too many books?

Freedompath comments on Mar 27, 2018:

Just finished packing up all my books!!! (Several hundred) I had to take a quick look at each one just to be sure that life itself did not depend on a few of them! I ended up with maybe 50...even as I intended to release all of them! There is so much wisdom in these books (they are non-fiction). It has been painful, but i cannot get books in a 'tiny house,' 1500 miles away! So I will have to trust, that I got all that I could use out of these tresures and go forward into a new day, for new wisdom! Why do I think that I should have memorized all those books and it wouldn't matter now?

An unarmed man was shot by San Antonio police as he stood with hands up, no shirt, not moving.

Freedompath comments on Mar 27, 2018:

This is heartbreaking to me! But, it is common place now a days! Officers, don't even take a moment to assess the situation, before they shoot to KILL! I believe they are trained to do this, because they are also told, you are in the right, so the law is always in your favor! People should not choose a profession that they are deathly afraid in...all the time!! That is insane and cost innocent people to die, for no reason, other than an officer wants to kill, over his own fear! this part of society cares little about the person killed or the anguish brought to that person's family and friends OR even 'society at large!' Because, I can say without hesitation...it grieves me, everytime I hear that a person has been shot dead by accident or on purpose and especially by police officers! It seems like people are being hunted like 'mad dogs!' There is no humanity in that...when did we start (from barbarian times), again to treat people as out of control and mad...as in a raging animal, because they exhibit normal anxiety of their own, when cornered like an animal? It simply does not add up! What can we expect when a part of our social order is promoted to wipe out another part of our social order...simple because they are not trained for any other recourse...and they could be!

Medical Marijuana and Gun Laws Collide | Fortune

Freedompath comments on Mar 27, 2018:

I think that I am on the fence with this law. There are certain perscribed psychoic medication that I believe would fall under this law. My position is, if you need drugs for medical reasons, your brain could be altered so as to effect your perspective and nervous reactions. Having a gun, under these conditions is not in the best interest of that person. And, why is the ownership of a gun, the first thought in protecting one's self? In my 78 years of much pain and suffering have I ever concluded that a gun would be my best protection! That covers driving long distance in the middle of the night for work and other activities! That covers being beaten by an alcoholic madman husband on many occasions and having to run for my life! No, I don't agree that a gun is needed to protect ourself under all conditions!

Freedompath comments on Mar 27, 2018:

I am not superstitious, but I do believe in luck! When I have experienced this kind of situation, especially accidents...the first thing I wonder is, where did I go wrong? Where was my attention at the time of the accident? What was I doing at the time, that increased my risk of an accident? After that I would move passed it, asap! I do believe there are things that happen, from sheer luck! That makes it even more urgent that we evaluate to see where we dropped our attention, (even slightly for the situation).

How long will you repeat behaivor before you change it?

Freedompath comments on Mar 27, 2018:

Behavior is usually repeated until you find the underlying reason for it...the pay off of some kind! Then you need to replace it with something you 'know' to be more useful! It may have been useful to you, once-upon-a-time!

I grew up in a mennonite sect that practices a form of "shunning" to members that have left the ...

Freedompath comments on Mar 27, 2018:

I have seen that reported in documentaries! I think it is beyond sad, when people place their religion above their own blood (kind). There is no freedom to 'be'...in any of that behavior! In essence they say...'if you follow my rules and laws, then you will be ACCEPTABLE! This is not a one time error, that a person might make...they throw (shun) you out forever! There is something just plain inhumane in that practice and sooner than later, I would be staying away from them! Every human being has the right to live with acceptance and support out in the open...for all to see! Not accepted part ways...that is crazy making!

Which is the more disturbing, Russian politics or Islamic fundamentalism

Freedompath comments on Mar 27, 2018:

I think I would have to go with Russians! They are smart and know how to use their intelligence for harm in the very cleverest and ugliest ways...with no regret! I do not trust Russians...Islam fundamentialism has a lot of ignorance in it, and some sects do blow themselves up for the cause! But, they don't routinely undermine countries and poison people as the Russians oligarchs do and then play victims when confronted! Then promote that victimization to their fellow citizens!

I recently watched a documentary regarding (in this instance) American men choosing to marry ...

Freedompath comments on Mar 26, 2018:

Men, who marry a mail order bride, may secretly not want a woman to know them, very deeply? I agree, that if foreigners become attracted to each other, that has the possibility of a real relationship. But, this mail order bride thing, just seems to be too much of an imbalance of power. Free sex, cannot by itself...evolve the personality of an individual and that is what relationships...based on mutual respect can do for us. Food and shelter for sex, is not my idea of mutual respect or even balanced! Reminds me too much of the missionaries who bring help to the poor...in exchange for 'saving their soul!' Seems fishy, to me!

I had wonderful experiences at the UU church, made great friends there! But moved out of the area.

Freedompath comments on Mar 25, 2018:

I believe that I would condition myself, by keeping my personal beliefs...personal... unless you are ask. I liked your responce about 'separation of church and state.' You did not sell yourself out and yet you did not reveal, 'your all.' I doubt that you would find the perfect teaching environment for your nature, so the next best thing is to protect your 'inner nature.' You are there to perform a service, a professional...you are not there to convince anyone of your personal worth or beliefs! Your beliefs should support you in being an upright person, and that right is not given to you by any other person! That is what this country stands for, even as it appears strained at the moment!

What's the best pet in your opinion?

For me it is a medium sized dog!

What do you do with the hours between midnight and 2 am when sleep is elusive ?

Freedompath comments on Mar 25, 2018:

I have a motivational tape that I listen to, sometimes more than once! It must be something that I found to bring me clarity, before and not something I am trying out for the first time!

How biased is your news source? You probably won’t agree with this chart - MarketWatch

I pretty much agree with the chart.

A Georgia Mom Crashed Her Car Into a Concrete Pole to Show Her Kids God Exists – Friendly Atheist

Freedompath comments on Mar 24, 2018:

Christians always seem to test 'god,' to try an prove his existence to others and themselves! That alone may be a sign they 'really' don't believe! If there was a 'god,' I can't believe he would be compelled to answer the call of one desperate mortal in all the universe! If he did answer all the calls of mortals, I suspect that most people would still be alive, today and in perfect health!
