so can someone clarify to me what Raine is saying here? maybe she can herself?

Because Loosie doesn't believe in god or rather praying during meals she has issues in her life?

hum, interesting.

I guess a lot of people have issues in their lives then.

I think its funny that Raine always says people have so much anger yet, I have seen ( a not just in my personal regards) that whenever someone says something that goes against what she says.. she comes back with something angry.

Not a good example, maybe pray on that as well. (and not being sarcastic but since you believe in prayer maybe ask God or whomever you believe in to guide you)

and yes Raine you can go ahead and start to attack me, but I just noticed you too not just me and loosie and whomever have a TON of anger.. and since you believe in God.. shouldn't you be turning the other cheek instead of spitting back with the same negative energy? I thought that was what your God taught?

and fyi..not everyone fasts with some spiritual component.

and btw Raine if you want to work on figuring out when you are hungry.. you may want to check into 'retraining' your stomach and mind.. by starting out with having set timed meals.. a schedule and eating frequently (when you're not fasting) smaller meals every 2-3 hrs.. so that your body relearns and you use that food to fuel your body.. thus not wanting to overeat or falling into old patterns. After awhile the body will adapt and you will be able to eat until satisfied and your body will tell you when it needs food.

Just a quick educated suggestion, you can take it or leave it. I would go into greater detail but I figure you'll just ignore it and attack me or something, so I won't bother typing a long ordeal and explanation.

cheers!

Hi Loosie.

Religion started when man lost his ability to control matter and thus started to feel insecure for the first time.

At least be honest with yourself Louise, the reason you were nasty is plain to see.

Take care sweet soul.

“The pleasant, shady woods of modern times are nothing like the forests of those days, which were alive, and not just with trees and squirrels, bracken, maidenhair, and sprouting acorns. The old green world was alive in its leafy soul. A forest then was one great breathing creature that felt everything. It felt the nervous tread of the royal stag that no one was permitted to hunt under the king’s ban. It felt the hatching of a cuckoo egg and the pitiful cries of baby warblers when the cuckoo chick pitched them out of their nest. It felt the slow creeping growth of the thick moss that carpeted every moist space like a velvety, verdant shawl.” – DC

At least when the forest was felt to have a soul, the forest was treated with respect. Of course it was just that we were in touch with our own heart.

"The concept of religion, originally used to control society through fear, has become a coping mechanism for the masses to explain the unknown"


you know its almost like you took the words out of my mouth..

this is why i became buddhist several yrs ago.. too many people use God to cope with life.. instead of worrying about and working on whats in front of them.. too afraid about dying and going to hell or heaven etc. Its like being in the Matrix.. ignorance is bliss and working on things is painful, suffering is apart of life.

i mean the 10 commandments are pretty simple.. be a good person basically and not a douche bag.

I don't understand why those need scare tactics (ie burning in hell) to do the right thing.

But hey that's just my view on organized religion and lack of present awareness.
