nanook 1 #3 February 1, 2007 YAAAAAY!!!! Q and A time!! 1. Why is there poverty and suffering in the world? Members may not have the knowledge or tools for success. Varying levels of reason differ country to country. 2.What is the relationship between science and religion There isn't any. One is a systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation; The other is a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects. There tends to be a clash if a group confuses words such as "beliefs" and "hypothesis" as meaning the same. 3.Why are so many people depressed? Personally, I don't see many depressed people. Whose been telling people they are depressed again? Is a new organization trying to establish themselves again; trying to sell a new idea? 4. What are we all afraid of? It differs. You can find enough people with similar fears to create a market segment. Just name your fear and they will come. 5. When is war justifiable? When a threat to a Country's citizens, it's economy, or it's possessions, is great enough to be a catastrophic loss. (Sorry, the "when is it catastrophic" is subjective) 6.How would God want us to respond to aggression and terrorism? I'm pretty sure you can find a passage in more than one area of both testaments. 7. What does it mean to live in the present moment? It means. . .(shit, it's already the future. . .let me try again) It means. . .(God-damnit) 9. What is our greatest distraction? It differs. You can find enough people with similar distractions to create a market segment. Just name your distraction and they will come. 10. Is current religion serving its purpose? Yes. 11. What happens to you after you die? Nothing. The coffin collapses over a couple of days and the dirt mound settles. You won't know it though. When you are dead you don't exist anymore. Even the dead don't know they are dead. 12. Describe heaven and how to get there. Gods Kingdom. I know one way is to break a capital crime by committing blasphemy in an ancient theocratic country. Do it too many times, you will be tried and convicted and sentenced to death. In Jerusalem in the old days, they made you drag your own cross to the execution site. The crowds were tough on the convicted. They didn't even let up when it was Jesus's turn. 13.What is the meaning of life? There isn't one. Now, I know this question wasn't origionally asked in english. I wonder what the real intention of the question was. Was it supposed to be a "tree fall in the woods" type question? Is it supposed to be answered sooner or later? 14. Describe god. Not Very Altruistic. 15.What is the greatest quality humans possess? That's hard to answer. There's no reference to compare to. We have to rely on Gene Roddenberry and George Lucas for other intelligent sentient beings. 16. What is it that prevents people from living to theiir full potential? Beliefs, Wives, Husbands, Children, handicaps, fears, weaknesses, the fact that there is no such thing as a "full potential". You can't gague yourself based on an ever-rising limit. Example. . .I am now above and beyond the "full potential" that I assumed in high school. 17. Non-verbally, by motion or gesture only, act out what you believe to be the current condition of the world *boioioioioioioionnnnnnnnnnnnng* 18. What is your one wish for the world? Someone told me that after the Cold War(I'm not sure if it's true) there was a period of time of a few days where not a single country was at war with each other. When the Love didn't flow out in peaceable inner-contentment around the world as the Youngbloods predicted, and Countries was still around and Religion too like John Lennon imagined, people were pissed. Lets face it World Peace sucks ass. But a lot of people are not going to die. . .so how about an extension of those fabled two days as my one wish. 19.What is wisdom, and how do we gain it? Study Study. 20. ARE WE ALL ONE? Are we all one what? Okay, I decided to answer the question first so the pending movie doesn't tell me how to answer the questions i didn't ask. As I answered the questions, none really relate to the other because there was no tie-in to make them leading questions yet. After I watch it, I will do the questions again and see what has changed._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
