She deleted her post on fb  she was number one post for the promo  then deleted and moved herself down       Any guesses as to why she would have done this?
I have no idea about that one, muush, since I knew nothing about the promo until it was done with and saw posts about it. Maybe her deleting really worked against her that time because she didn't think about it!

I dont think the promo is done yet  pretty sure its still going till they get 50 posts

That's why I wish people would hurry up and sign up so I can get my 2$. I figured if I tossed the link around people would *bleep* up the 2$.

Oh hey, I just looked up what she's talking about guys.  No thanks, I do not want Ms. Crazy knowing my full name - not worth $2.  The whole FB + Fusion Cash thing can be dangerous in the wrong hands!!

Hello Kimberley,

I just wanted to comment on your voicing yourself here, strong words and sounds like pain in some of them due to what has happened to you in your life, maybe even what you have seen or not seen. I was also raised in the Catholic faith, but changed to Methodist eventually then now to christian I would call it. I changed because of the Catholic religion with our priest at the time not doing the right thing and I thought this is wrong to tell my sins to someone who was at fault himself, so I changed. I was brought up knowing  about God and had and still have a strong faith, have had alot of things happen to me in my life, to show me there is another side that we cannot see with our eyes. i have been protected many times. So all I can say to you is you are strong voiced, and of strong conviction in your beliefs and thoughts, but I am asking you to not just disregard that there are things we cannot see that are very much there in our lives. Take care and search for the truth.
Mary :)

This is a FREE world last time I checked and we get to believe what we want to: My Mother would say let's agree to disagree so that usually makes things easier I agree with you we need more love truth and justice in the world rather than all the negativity where is that going to get anyone?

Well the problem with this statement is that religion isn't harmless!  It can be very, very harmful in fact.  The more people we can get to live in reality, the better.

Anything can be harmful in the hands of the wrong people, which is where everything inevitably ends up.

Explain yourself because in the vast majority of cases, this is false.

Harmful for people that couldn't cope without him.

In all fairness, there are people that can't cope without alcohol or drugs.  That doesn't make them beneficial in any way.

When the wrong people get their hands on God...well there ya go.

Haha, so why are you saying god is beneficial?!

As for people killing themselves, if they really could not handle the truth of there not being a god, they are probably the type of person who would kill themselves ANYWAY even if they did believe in god if life got bad enough for them.

I am not responsible for anyone else or what they believe since it isn't my problem.

You're responsible if you raise children with such beliefs and/or actively witness to people.  You're responsible if you support legislature that does not honor the separation of church and state.  You're responsible if you stand by and do nothing whilst atrocities are being committed in the name of your religion (locally or nationally).

We are talking about God though not Drugs and Alcohol. God is very beneficial!

I mean people create Guns and when the wrong people get their hands on them...well that results in murder.
People create knives and well...you get the idea.

When the wrong people get their hands on God...well there ya go.

I meant that example makes it sound more like a crutch to get people by than a true benefit.  There have been studies that show that people who believe in God live longer.   :dontknow:

People use God/religion as an excuse to do terrible things to each other.  If no one believed in God and religion didn't exist, they would find another excuse to hurt others.  People always need to blame someone for their problems.  They always need a bad guy.  You can't just blame God and religion for all of mankind's evil acts.

You know the brain has a God center right, Queen? Do you know what the function is?

Yes, I was aware of that.  I've read The "God" Part of the Brain, and such an area developed due to evolution.  A way for us to cope with the fact that existence is essentially pointless.   :thumbsup:

Not believing in God is also very, Very harmful. It all boils down to there are good people and there are bad people, which are you?
This is legalism.

Are you "enlightened" enough to know that pretty much every reply you make on this forum comes across as arrogant academia?  Having every line of yours read like yuppy B.S. is quite annoying.  You're not some world-renowned philosopher, so stop making yourself look bad by spewing esoteric concepts that have no real substance behind them.

You don't Believe, so what do you know? Belief is not knowledge. Knowledge is not belief...[/color]

Because god is conveniently invisible, he can never be 100% dis-proved.  Therefore if you say you KNOW there's not a god - no matter how much good evidence you have to back up that claim - people can just bring up the invisible thing.

Again I say how convenient that he's invisible!  If he were really real wouldn't it be FACT, not something you have to BELIEVE in? 

...Of course not.  Then god couldn't have his wacko invisible fun "testing" us.
