I've been doing work to support my community as well as contemplating the opportunity for greater balance and clarity. Do you do either of those things, Veggie, or do you just bitch on this forum and roll your eyes as if you have even half a clue about reality?

People who are in crisis are able to have insights as well. Just because you don't, is not the model for what's possible.

Of course there are all kinds of positions that people have during this situation. Most everyone, including myself, seems to be severely shaken by all of the tragedy... so I wouldn't exactly call it a "luxury" to be trying to contemplate beyond that. It takes effort and heart to do it, and it's a valuable thing for ALL, that those who can do it, do so. Our reality cannot be defined as only tragedy. What can we realize and how can we become better as a result of tragedy?

How does an atheist universe "acknowledge/suggest" something Lacewing?

Do you think only a god can do such a thing? Do you not think that the network of all of life/nature can communicate?

U poor sap.

U even have to put a lower case 'g' for God. You won't even acknowledge that if there is a UNIVERSE that CAN suggest something - that it could be called GOD!

U R A BIMBO

You are free to call whatever you want "GOD". I don't. I was raised in the Christian tradition, and I no longer subscribe to all of the nonsense associated with such ideas of a god.

I’m really not interested in talking with you further about this or anything. What you have demonstrated here in discussions is that you are a dishonorable and disgusting drunk who talks to yourself when you’re not being childish and cowardly. And that’s apparently when you’re on your best behavior.

What is your point?

That because I actually KNOW this entity...that I actually suffered from GOD to the point beyond CHRIST....that somehow U understand CHRIST better than me?

If you are representative of a person who believes in a god, then you shouldn't be surprised that you're also a confirmation of the nonsense. Your suffering is no greater than anyone else's... get over yourself. You're just another delusional "Christ wannabe" who doesn't have a clue about anything that doesn't serve your ego. Any respectable "Sage" would steer clear of you.

What has happened in the last few years to send you into full nut-job mode? You were always a little odd, but you seem to have really gone overboard more recently. Did you change medications or have some big life change? You might be more effective if you reel it in a bit.
