}I just posted something in the UFO section regarding a strange dream and will also post it here. In Jan 2013 I had a dream in which I was talking to a man and he was telling me about Poisson lines. I knew that I had to remember that term and when I woke in the morning, it is the first thing that I thought of. When I did a search of Poisson lines it lead me to Poisson line equations and Poisson field theory which has to do with probability theory, lasers and radiation among other things. I have no education in advanced physics and have no idea why I would have such a dream. Has anyone else experienced a similarly odd dream in which they are being told information which they have never heard of? I wish that I could remember the whole dream. All I remember is the man talking to me about Poisson lines but nothing about why.

Poisson is also the French word for "fish," if that has any significance.

Interesting.... take away an 's' and you get poison.
Poison Lines = crack cocaine

Yes, poisson means fish in French and at first I laughed thinking that I was dreaming about fish line but the urge to look up Poisson was strong so I immediately went to the computer. Poisson was a French physicist/mathematician.

Yes, that is actually a French joke. An American guy goes into a restaurant and, trying to impress his girlfriend, orders poison instead of poisson.

In my dream I saw a tall transformer
begin to lean over and I thought, uh oh it's
going to fall. It did and I saw a large explosion
and fire. Then I called my dentist for an appointment and he said your records burned in the fire.

I had a dream i was at work. But it wasn't the same building as normal. it was like a giant hotel lobby. with some nooks and crannies. i was walking with my boss (who is a real nasty person i dislike) and we kept getting slower and heavier and soon we were both barely crawling on the floor and couldnt move. then as we got to walking normal again the walls kept getting father and farther away and the place kept changing sizes. he said 'why does all this weird S*** always happen around you?' then we were back to normal and in the lobby were gangs of or large groups of young people in near identical red button down shirts. they were temps come to take our jobs. then the scene shifted and i was in a chicken coop or pig pen inside in the muck crawling with a weapon and having to survive something.
the end!

i had another dream recently about a weird mode of transport. i was in boulder colorado, and i went into an ancient looking newsstand/headshop type place. in the middle all arcade-game-looking was a giant kind of conveyer belt made of metal like at the airport. it went underground into the dark, but wasnt moving and the opening was closed off. i stood on it out of curiousity to see what it was for, and it took me to las vegas via an underground walkway/tunnel. i emerged in a large shopping mall, and the woman who worked for the 'moving walkway travel company' said 'i'm sorry sir but we can't get you back home for at least a week, the fact you got here for free was a fluke.' so i had to spend the week collecting coins off the sidewalk to get my fare. luckily there were plenty of carnival rides and such that people kept losing change on, so i had 20 dollars of coins within a day. then i woke up.

Interesting, Sahgwa.
Post #728
I kinda think the boss is worried about you taking over his job......and that he is afraid of you because he is more aware of subtle energies,( on a sub-conscious level) than he is aware of in a conscious state......get's the "feeling" just doesn't understand...the WHY of it. If I had that dream, I would think along those lines on some level.
Post #729
I think there is some evidence to consider that in Colorado there are some unusual happenings going on...the airport and and other areas. There is no telling just how far and wide the tunnels go....or the transport to traverse through earth space. "Getting back home" is a priority that will take time and effort....BUT everything you need to accomplish the task is at your feet....waiting for you to pick it up...????
One way to look at it anyway!!

I think BG was communing w/you in your dream -- giving you a bit of a heads/up -- chance to say "fair thee well" . . . and it seems he passed peacefully
your story brings tears to my eyes . . .

Buddie, since my mom died I have been hearing/seeing all kinds of things/info that I wish I had known/run into last year (or before . . . ). Its a peculiar feeling -- happy that whatever is getting out t/here. wondering -- if my loved one's need somehow spurred the activity/thought . . . and sad, that it wasnt in time to benefit her.
also, if i understood one of your posts -- happy belated b-day
Wishing you a wonderful year!

Once again, last night, had a dream I was back in one of the buildings (WTC1 or WTC2)and it was all about to come tumbling down...now normally I am able to escape by the "skin of my teeth", just before collapse......however last night I actually was caught inside, experienced the collapse, and became trapped (but alive) in the wreckage....it was quite painful and traumatic as I recall....lots of glass cutting into my face and body.

prayers of strength for you, fortwynt. I have had what, imo, is a similar series of dreams. When I was little it was me flying and things beneath me grabbing at my legs trying to pull me down. When I was older, it was men in dark alleys stalking me. I would frequently wake up in a cold sweat -- adrenalin coursing thru my veins. Even more annoying is that I wld be in a good dream and then just take one wrong turn and suddenly everything changed. Digging deeper during non-dreaming times uncovered a lot of garbage I wish I never had to know. YOUR dream, or series of dreams, imo, is a survival dream -- survival under obviously difficult circumstances -- the setting -- the World Trade Center/s. The dream clearly tells you that you have the ability to survive, but the latest one may be telling you that now/soon is a pivot point.
Having said all that -- bottom line for me is --Believe in yourself (good advice for all of us, imo). in my experience, Strength and power comes from within. While I cant say I have all my demons at bay -- realizing this truth (for me anyway) has gone a long way in giving me the strength I need to survive without being in a constant state of insecurity/anxiety about things I can do little about.

indeed, blue.
I also have a serious issue with people grabbing at my feet when i fly....have you ever seen "Inception"? My dreams seem to be like that....like everything will be fine but suddenly one or more people in the dream will "turh on me" and soon lots of people are chasing after me....I fly, but cant seem to manage to fly high enough for long enough to get away....i get tired and sink just enough for them to grab at my feet....
I have started recently to just allow myself to sink.....i find that when things become nightmarish, i can just let myself be gotten and roughly half the time the threat dissipates one way or another once I relent....
in dreams its kind of funny and probably has something to do with the part of the brain being activated by the dream....like when you wake up and so long as you do not think or talk about the dream it seems easy to recall but as soon as you start "trying" to remember it or talk about it, it seems to become much harder to remember......in the same way, the more I "Struggle" against a notion in my dream the more that notion takes hold, as if by giving it attention I am giving it structure...which is, of course, precisely what is happening since everything in the dream is being manifested by my own mind....and of course this is precisely how things work in the "real" world...the more attention we pay a thing, the more we feed it, good or bad.

Here is a short list of the things I seem to obsessively dream about.....well...."dream about" is not really accurate...that's like telling someone "I had a dream ABOUT you"....as they are the only thing in the dream....Rather I will say here is a short list of subject matter that seems to obsessively occur in my dreams....and I mean, quite literally, these are always present in nearly every dream.
-My dead mother
-certain specific homes i've lived in throughout my life (i've lived in over 23 different homes)
-being attacked by animals (usually cats, birds, dogs)
-finding money which turns out to be fake money or old unspend-able money
-doing drugs
-having the ability to play the piano or guitar (neither of which I can do whatsoever)
-driving a car, only to find the brakes never work well at all, or at all...or alternatively it seems as if im trying to drive the car from the passenger seat or the back seat.
-zombies chasing me, or otherwise angry people that i just cannot outrun no matter what i do.
there are other things...but most or ALL of my dreams incorporate almost every one of these situations in different combinations...hell, every dream i have could easily be the SAME dream just rehashed a million different ways i guess...
(as a side note, over the course of many years i taught myself how to fly in my dreams, and also how to move objects with my mind and push my hand or whole body through other objects...this is normally integrated into my dreams as well...usually in the capacity of me trying to amaze someone with these things yet they seem usually pretty unfazed by it)

It's good to have you back. I have a lot of things that commonly appear in my dreams too, some of which overlaps with yours.
- My dead mother frequently shows up, though usually not dead in the dream, and sometimes my dead grandmother is there too, or sometimes other dead relatives. Also people I used to know, some of which may be dead but probably most are alive.
- I'm sometimes in certain homes or apartments I've lived in, or variations of them. Also homes or apartments that are different from any place I've lived, but may sometimes have some elements of places I've lived. Also businesses may appear that are places I've worked but may sometimes be different in various ways, and some of them are quite a bit different, and some may be variations of businesses my father had, or be based on them, and some of the places are different from anything, and some are even secret laboratories, and some of the places have something to do with the military or government. I've lived in around 12 different places in my life.
- Dogs or cats sometimes appear, and sometimes I may feel threatened by them, but not usually. I'm more often threatened by strange animals that don't exist in real life, and sometimes by outright monsters. Dinosaurs sometimes appear, too. I don't dream too much about birds, though I think they sometimes show up, and I recently had a dream in which toward the end there were several very skinny, very tall bird-men, with long dark skinny bills, and too-big business suits that were cinched tightly at the waist, causing the shoulders to bulge out to the sides. Their white shirts had open collars. After the dream I realized that they looked somewhat like ancient Egyptian gods.
- Eating sometimes shows up, and sometimes I am looking for food in various places, including shopping centers, grocery stores, and mini marts, and even at school or work.
- Sometimes money appears in various ways, including having to pay someone, and sometimes worrying about having enough money, and sometimes the money is very strange, piles of odd looking coins, which I sometimes eat, and strange folding money in strange amounts, like a seven dollar bill for instance, and odd looking checks.
- Doing drugs doesn't show up, except sometimes on rare occasions there might be a worry that someone else, a stranger, is on drugs, and sometimes there is a worry about whether the food is good or not, such as the food being months or years old, or strangely colored, such as having green in it, or being entirely green. On some occasions there might be something about scientists having invented some kind of potion or drug, and perhaps scientists using it on me, or using some kind of scientific devices on me, but these dreams would be rare.
- On rare occasions I will sometimes play a musical instrument that I've never played before, and don't know how in real life, such as a viola or guitar, and sometimes I will play without difficulty an instrument, such as a piano, that in real life I can play a little.
- I do a lot of driving in dreams, most often in the last two cars I've had, though sometimes I'm in other cars, including cars I've never driven in real life, and sometimes cars change into different things, such as wooden vehicles, some very small. Sometimes I'm very tired when driving, and sometimes when I'm not driving. Sometimes there are mechanical problems, such as the brakes not working or other problems. Sometimes there are worries about staying on the road too, and not going off cliffs, which sometimes happens. Sometimes I just drive along the side of the mountain then, the car sideways, but sometimes I do crash. At least a couple of times I've died in the crash and been mysteriously brought back, when the timeline is changed, apparently by an act of God, literally. Usually when I'm in a car, I'm driving it, but sometimes I'm a passenger, and can be in the front or back. When I'm driving, usually the front seat is normal or relatively so, but on rare occasions there can be something odd about it, or even extremely odd, and the seat might be in odd positions, even turned forward some and close to the ceiling, and sometimes it seems to be constructed more of boards and extends back a lot, even into the back seat area. The cars I'm in are more likely to be older models, though not always (at least part of this is because the cars I typically drove were older models, or would be now).
- I don't normally dream about zombies, though they sometimes appear, and in one dream I was chased by zombie dinosaurs, which were causing other things to become zombies, including people and even inanimate objects. I'm more likely to be chased by criminals and mobsters, and sometimes people from some agency that has something to do with the military or government, including more local governments, and sometimes there is some worry about the police, and sometimes some criminal or shady business organization or people are after me, and sometimes even wars are going on.
- Sometimes superheroes and even supervillains show up, and sometimes I am a superhero too, or a version of one.
- I sometimes do a lot of flying in dreams, and I also tend to get tired over time and it becomes harder and harder to stay in the air. Sometimes instead of flying I am gliding along just above the floor or barely touching it. Sometimes I do controlled falls too, coming down from a great height, such as off a cliff, like coming down in an elevator, though without one present. And sometimes I hover in the air or even walk in it. Sometimes something like out of body experiences get incorporated in it, some may be real but others just dreams or partial dreams, and sometimes I go through things, like the wall or door or ceiling, and see what they look like from the inside. One time I fell through my bed and deep into the earth, and got trapped in a place down there. On rare occasions I've gone into space, sometimes with a rocket ship and sometimes without one.
- Sometimes in dreams I've gone into or through other dimensions. This can involve finding a hidden place in a wall, but more frequently there's a place where the road goes up and then there is a hole in the dirt that it goes through, that frequently over the course of the dream becomes more restrictive, or there is some kind of gate there, sometimes controlled by people. Sometimes this involves going to Mexico and back this way, though in real life I have only been in Mexico briefly, and not for decades. I can also travel through dimensions by going up and down in buildings, sometimes very tall buildings, through special elevator places where I don't actually use the elevators, but go through openings in the walls or ceiling there, and kind of wind my way up and down, going through dimensions in the process. A variation on this is when ladders are used, to go through openings in the floor and ceiling. Sometimes ladders are even used in the elevator spaces, I think. On some occasions there have been rectangular tubes that go up and down through the building, that are apparently solid, though feel kind of viscous inside, and I dive into them and travel up and down like a porpoise. Sometimes the dimensional openings are hidden in such things as cabinets or bookcases, or even rock formations, and are sometimes in special rooms, where I have to go somehow through the wall of the room, and sometimes I am sent to other dimensions by a machine shooting a broad expanding ray at me. Sometimes I go through other dimensions by going through caves, or by going through a succession of rooms in a very large, frequently very old building.
- I frequently end up in shopping malls, looking through stores, trying to find various things, sometimes presents, sometimes food, sometimes books or other things. Sometimes I am in bookstores that are not part of malls.
- A frequent theme is going to a school, which could be based on schools I've been to, or might even be very small things in a mall or even part of somebody's house. Sometimes, in the bigger schools especially, I am worried about tests, not having studied or even read the material, and sometimes I can't even find certain classes, I can't find my schedule, and don't know where some classes are or when they are. Economics class is the most common class in this regard.
- On some occasions the dreams about schools are stranger, and involve aliens or alien technology, and even being in alien spaceships.
- In some cases in dreams I am in movie theaters, sometimes huge ones, with lots of screens, even lots of screens in the same theater at times, with other sections of theater available, with their own multiple screens at times. Sometimes the theaters are very small though, and seem to double for small plays and for talks.
- In some dreams I go under the ground, even to huge underground malls or cities. In some dreams the ground is just a shell over an opening several feet or more deep, with pieces falling off of it, and sometimes I am walking on it and even fighting someone on it, as the ground threatens to fall away from under me.
- Sometimes I am walking great distances, hundreds of miles even. Frequently I am heading toward home, but sometimes I am heading away from it, and sometimes somewhere in between, off to the side some, not quite pointed at home.
- On some occasions I dream about celebrities, or characters they have played. An example would be Mr. Monk, of the TV show Monk. Another example would be Mr. Spock, of Star Trek, though in the dream it was just a fan dressed up like him. I've also dreamed about Paul Newman, Sally Field, and Doris day. I've also dreamed about Ivan T. Sanderson and Bernard Heuvelmans, who wrote about unknown animals. I've even dreamed about Whitley Strieber a few times.
- In some dreams UFOs or their occupants show up. These dreams can be ominous and threatening or much more mild, even happy.

I met an alien with black clammy skin like an eel with slitty yellow eyes. It put its hand on my stomach and said "his soul is good but his human form is too unclean for our use."

When I woke up yesterday I
looked at the ceiling and it
seemed to move in a spot and looked
like a bit of plaster bubbled out. Then I
saw the letters LEO. I blinked and looked away and the name/letters were still there. Got out of bed and came back to look and they were gone. This has no meaning whatsoever but I felt like posting it.
Since I'm here I'll post this thought that I saw just now and decided to put it here since the dream thread has ben kinda slow lately.
"It is possible to believe that all the past is but
the beginning of a beginning, and that all that
is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.
It is possible to believe that all the human mind
has ever accomplished is but the dream
before the awakening." ~ H.G. Wells

Mama, that dream was important. Take it into meditation or prayer and see what comes to you. LEO could be a name, a zodiac sign, an abbreviation, or even something as obtuse as a rhyming thing or trigger for something else.
Dreams are highly personal, so think about what it means to
For some reason, I'm curious about your LEO vision.
There are two kinds of light -- the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.

I pondered the Leo again this morning and
I got the child in me. The letters bubbled
through but one letter didn't make it. The
letter was V and when you put them all together
it spells LOVE. I smiled and made the V with
my fingers. What is that but the PEACE sign.
So that's how I see it.

Dreamed there was a large crowd gathered
at my little waterfront community of Eden Isles.
(It's located on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain and considered a part of the greater
New Orleans area.) I was nervous because I don't like crowds of people . Food was to be served and I recalled the older relative fussing at me for cutting the breast meat serving too thick saying there wouldn't be enough to go around. That was a memory though because I wasn't serving this time. Then I saw Pope Francis and wondered why he was here instead of over in the city. I said to him that I had a dream about him and he turned from the crowd and took a liking to me. It was his turn to serve the meal and I saw he was cutting the beast too thick as he handed me a serving. I started to fuss at him to cut it thinner and then he seemed to read my thought and got a look on his face of hesitation. Then I winked and whispered 'remember the fish and loaves?'. He smiled and served. Someone said, ya'll a match made in heaven. Then this song was played and we all danced. Never Can Tell...Chuck Berry

There will always be someone who is critical of us.... but we can only be ourselves and do the best we can. Don't let that critical person define who you are.

Please do!!!
Hugs are such good medicine!
Once in a while, someone says something on these boards, that makes me want to print it out and put it up on my fridge (with all the other magnets and sayings).
And buddie, you know how sometimes we experience synchronicity? Well, I just went to google images to look for an image of "hugs", and this is one of the first images I found:
Not only is this one of my favorite images of all time, but I actually have a fridge magnet of this image! (I have had it since the early 1990s, and it is so faded now, that all the yellow color has faded from Woodstock.)
So, I now have a new fridge magnet! I created an image, and printed it out, that says:
"No answer is going to satisfy every hedgehog!!"
It is now right next to the Snoopy/Woodstock magnet.
Only I will understand the significance of the saying with your words, and why it ended up next to Snoopy/Woodstock! Anyone who sees it on my fridge and asks about it, I will just have to say....
"It's a long story!"
Hedgehog Hug!
And one more, because it is so wonderful, and I couldn't resist:

Consumer News Release
For immediate release -- September 6, 2001. Contact Bob Brammer, 515-281-6699
DES MOINES-- Attorney General Tom Miller urged Iowans to check out their eligibility and then file claims for an estimated $1 million in refunds in a case that alleged prescription drug overcharges resulting from a drug monopoly scheme led by Mylan Laboratories of Pittsburgh, PA.
"This is one of the best refund cases I've seen," Miller said. "It is easy for people to learn if they are eligible, it is simple to assemble the records and file the claim, and refunds can be substantial. But people will not get a refund unless they file a claim. We strongly urge Iowans to check it out and file a claim before the claim period ends on September 29."
Miller said refund checks are estimated to range from a few hundred up to about $2,000.
Most consumers who bought "Lorazepam" and "Clorazepate" any time in 1998 or 1999 are eligible. The two drugs are widely used to treat symptoms of anxiety, including use by people with Alzheimer's disease, people in nursing homes, hospice patients, and others. The drugs are prescribed about 20 million times a year.
"The good news is that more Iowans have filed individual claims on their own than in any other state," Miller said. "The bad news is that we believe there are many other Iowans who are eligible for substantial refunds if they will only file."
"Go to your pharmacist," Miller urged. "Iowa pharmacies have been extremely helpful to their patients in retrieving the needed records. Jerry Karbeling, Senior Vice President of Public Affairs for the Iowa Pharmacy Association and owner of Big Creek Pharmacy in Polk City, joined Miller at the news conference in Des Moines.
Consumers may obtain detailed information on the settlement and claims procedures by calling the Settlement Administrator toll free at 800-899-5806 (877-564-7096 for the hearing impaired) or going to the web site www.agsettlement.com. Information also is available at the Attorney General's web site: www.IowaAttorneyGeneral.org. Consumers may e-mail the Administrator at email@example.com.
Miller said 1157 Iowans had filed individual claims on their own as of August 24. The next closest state, Florida, had 983 individual claims, and the average per state regardless of size was about 350 claims. Iowa's individual claims accounted for over 6.5% of the total for the nation. The claim filing period began June 1 and expires Sept. 29.
Miller said a team effort in Iowa is responsible for the high number of individual claims. "The Iowa Pharmacy Association and many of its members have exerted strong efforts to assist their patients and many times to reach out and encourage their patients to file a claim," Miller said.
"And the Alzheimer's Associations and Iowa's aging network have done an outstanding job of spreading the word about this important case and refund arrangement," he said. Miller said there has been impressive networking and communication work by Iowa's Area Agencies on Aging, local senior centers all over Iowa, the State Department of Elder Affairs and Department of Public Health.
News media in communities all over the state also have been crucial, Miller said. A "Consumer Advisory" bulletin on the Mylan refunds issued for July appeared in more newspapers than any previous "Advisory."
Iowa also had 799 "waivers" filed in the case as of August 24. Typically, "waivers" resulted when a major pharmacy chain contacted customers and sent them a basic application and confidentiality waiver form. The forms could be submitted to the settlement administrator without customer purchase data, and the administrator then can obtain purchase data directly from the pharmacies. Iowa's 799 waivers totaled about .71% of the national total.
"I am very proud of Iowa's grass roots efforts to help people recover these refunds," Miller said.
Miller described the antitrust case: "The States and Federal Trade Commission alleged that Mylan developed an illegal plan late in 1997 to drastically increase prices on the two generic drugs. First, Mylan eliminated real and potential competitors by cornering the market on the drugs' active ingredients. Then, in early 1998, Mylan raised the price of one drug by 2000 percent and the other by 3000 percent," he said.
"We alleged that Mylan's actions were illegal and unconscionable -- all the more so because the drugs are so important to many people," he said.
U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Hogan on April 27 gave formal preliminary approval to the $100 million settlement, which also includes an injunction under which Mylan agreed to restrictions in its future supplier agreement. The State of Iowa will receive over $500,000 in the settlement because of overcharges it suffered because of the defendants' activities, although about half of that is expected to be returned to the Federal government which helps fund states' Medicaid programs.
The lawsuit alleged that Mylan Labs cornered the market on ingredients for the two drugs, Clorazepate and Lorazepam, by entering into long-term agreements with suppliers and distributors so that only Mylan would have reliable sources to obtain the active ingredients. Other defendants named in the suit were Cambrex Corporation, a New Jersey maker and marketer of specialized chemicals; Profarmaco, a wholly-owned Italian subsidiary of Cambrex; and Gyma, a New York company that distributes pharmaceutical compounds for Profarmaco and other manufacturers. The defendants denied the allegations.
After cutting off competitors' supply of key active ingredients for the drugs, the suit alleged, Mylan raised the price of Clorazepate more than 3000 percent in January 1998. The price jump translated to an increase from about two cents per tablet to over 75 cents per tablet for Clorazepate.
Two months later, Mylan increased the price of Lorazepam more than 2000 percent, or an increase from just over one cent per tablet to over 37 cents per tablet.
The suit alleged antitrust violations by Mylan including illegal restraint of trade, monopolization, and conspiracy to monopolize the markets for the two generic drugs. "It is illegal for companies to eliminate competition and then raise prices like this," Miller said.
"I am especially pleased we were able to take this action in the area of prescription drugs. High drug prices concern everyone, especially older Iowans. While we can't guarantee lower prices, we will take action when companies violate antitrust laws, because that hurts consumers, taxpayers and companies that play by the rules."

so im a new member can someone explain to me how the raffle thing works on here with levels 1-4 and etc or direct me somewhere
no clue where to post this raffle question
Posted 15 September 2011 - 06:58 AM
Posted 28 March 2012 - 04:57 AM
Just signed up for this forum a few days ago. This raffle-thing is the greatest thing ever! EVERY MONTH they give away stuff on a raffle. EVERY MONTH, NO EXCEPTIONS because. .. . ..
The raffle has to still be on since it's still mentioned when you join the forum and FFG are doing wonders keeping stuff up to date.
I can't in any way imagine that there is not a raffle at the last friday of this month!
It is inconcivable if it's gone since FFG is such an amazing company and actually update the news-section often. It would take them like 3 minutes of their time to get rid of the whole raffle thing if it wasn't running so . . . IT IS STILL RUNNING! IT HAS TO !!! EVERY OTHER CONCLUSION MUST BE WRONG!!!! SINCE FFG WOULDN'T LURE CUSTOMERS WITH FALSE PROPAGANDA THEY COULD REMOVE IN 3 BLEEDIN' MINUTES!!!!!
I bet the forums i RIDDLED with posts like the one below and I just can't find them because of my lousy google-skills:
Posted 12 May 2012 - 10:51 PM
i was also wondering about this anyone know?
Posted 12 August 2012 - 04:42 AM
I would like to know more about the raffle as well and how to get points for it.
Posted 03 October 2012 - 06:07 AM
yeah, me too. Im scanning and searching the whole forum but there's no official answer to be found. So far…

Folk Religion
Not do something active to end (burning a church is a pretty active thing ) but ignore it until it goes away . Not being anti-religious but areligious .
I just think it's expected of me, and I've never been one to turn down a free ride on a bandwagon.
In Gary Numan's autobiography, he says "I'd rather believe in hobbits and elves than Jesus." I quite like that quote. My favorite quote from an atheist ever was "The Bible and Christianity is just all lies and fairy tales. It's not surprising I feel that way, though. I'm a Sagittarius, and we're skeptical by nature."
I'm Christian.
A lot of gay men have an ax to grind against the status quo, which inherently includes Christianity.
I don't feel compelled to follow suit.
I also don't feel obligated to be anti-atheist, or any other faith. I'm glad I don't have to take on that crusade.
I'm an agnostic atheist.
I couldn't get my mind off you all day.
~~~~ ~~
I put other since I am still evaluating if religion itself has any validity in my life. I have a question about praxis and religion.
I'll play the game, but Buddhism isn't a religion. It's more of a philosophy.
I don't really have a religon but I do follow the Dalai Lama's teaching.
I find his teachings and words of wisdom, philosophy very enlightening.

Every man is entitled to his own religion beliefs and interpretations, but Buddhism is indeed a practiced religion, both in the West and in its origins in the East.
To exempt it somehow from the trappings and connotations of the label "religion" is an imbalance in the simple use of language.
For many Christians, the religion has been evolved to become simply a philosophy of attitudes, sans belief in the supernatural, but it yet remains a religion in every sense of the word for hundreds of millions of humans.
That Buddhism may attract large numbers of philosophic adherents does not negate the fact that there are many millions more who visit temples, offer prayers (not just meditations) and acknowledge what anyone would certainly identify as deity or deities.
I worship the devil.
Well, its a long story to explain how the Jesus Army came into my family's life, but when they did, they couldn't be stopped lol.
They ARE indeed a charismatic bunch. Very friendly. The kind of people that don't give Evangelicals a bad name. Still doesn't change the fact they think gays need to be 'righted'.
They had visited my family home when i was in my mid-teens, several times encouraging my mother to go to a communal gathering and tea (evening meal for you non-brits). Eventually their persistence paid off and she said ok.
She was however a little uneasy and asked me to go with her. I agreed.
At their commune, which was a rather nice looking house with a huge barn conversion making the dining room, we sat in the lounge with around 20 other people, singing ensued.
The Evangelistic nature of rejoicing was quite frankly disturbing to me.
Me and my mum were hardly singing from the hymn sheets we were given, we had them obscuring our mouths for the most part.
I tell you something tho, when we sat down for the meal afterwards, we had some homemade bread which was exceptionally tasty. They must have made that with the same kind of enthusiasm with which they sung, it was gorgeous.
After that day, they had visited a few more occassions encouraging us to go back, but no we did not. Once was enough. Thankfully my mum is not a devout CofE Christian, so she wasn't gonna be swayed by a more intense version of the faith.
I am a Christian.
Homophobia kills!
Athiest here, and I think all religion is bullshit.
I got banned from another forum for refusing to stop bashing religion, catholic priests, child abusers etc
I'm glad to see that sort of fascist dictatorship isn't prevalent on here
It's probably best for you to avoid the 'North American Christianity Forum' (aka, Religion, Spirituality & Philosophy).
It's supposed to be a no-flame zone; in other words, Christians can behave like total cunts towards other religions but post anything too critical of US Christianity and watch your posts disappear as if by magic.
I am Roman Catholic, born and raised. I still practice the Catholic faith. I have adjusted/filtered some of its teachings in my mind and conscience to match what I now believe, but still believe and practice it in general.
I think so. Something like a mixture of Buddhism and Japanese Shinto. It sounds a bit complicated and I don't really quite understand when my two friends had a sharing session with me. The other day we went to a Japanese restaurant and we saw A Ryukyuan butsudan inside. They immediately identified to us that they had the same religion. Maybe I will ask them again and try to understand what their belief system is about.
Yeah I agree. Early this year when one of them had a birthday party and invited me and a few of my classmates over. His family and his religion friends welcome us with warm arms. Even though we didn't know 99% of the people there, we sure don't feel neglected attending it.
That's what I've never understood, picking and choosing from a religion. I would have thought it's all or nothing type of "deal".
If you don't want to follow all of it then you might as well just be spiritual and even God-believing without organized religion. If you can't then you must be a part of it because of the culture and social pressure rather than actual faith that the religion is true.
I'm pastafarian
^Another kicking English grammar post
I'm surprised we haven't gotten a single Islam vote yet.
Muslims aren't allowed to be gay
Just like they aren't allowed to eat bacon, drink coffee or fuck outside their marriage
But why do we have 16 Christians then?
I want those big Arab cocks!
Too bad I'm not a virgin.
been an atheist for 10 years now and never turning back. i've felt more liberated mentally than all the years i was brainwashed by catholic school and older people that were trying to put me on to their way of thinking. this works for me fine.
one thing i don't get is how come people feel the need to put down other people's beliefs that are different from their own. i used to do that but nowadays, i stopped because it makes no sense.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
I don't speak against religion because I enjoy putting people down. I do it because I think organized religion is very harmful to man.
In general I'm honest about it when I think something is harmful and should be avoided... I won't make an exception for religion just because it's PC to not speak against them.
It makes every sense that you want to show them what a waste of time and energy it is believing in something that not only doesn't exist but causes untold harm. The lives lost to religion over the centuries is more than any disease. Then there is the mental harm that some religions cause to millions of people, both today and in history
Studies implicate that your claim "organized religion is very harmful to man" is false. Studies show that those who are part of an organized religious group are more likely to be balanced and enthusiastic individuals, because they have a sense of belonging. That doesn't seem to apply the same way to those who have a unique moral and ethical codex.
Just a thought.
I myself follow my own path too.
I'm not denying people can gain from it mentally...
But at the same time I can't just ignore all the violence and oppression which organized religion has caused.
The more violent the bigger it gets. Christianity and Islam are the biggest ones simply because they are the religions which were with violence forced over many many nations.

What studies? I haven't seen studies showing either way. Those who are part of an organized religious group aren't more likely to be balanced or enthusiastic. What rubbish. And for those atheists, they can be very enthusiastic... and finding others way to belong in society (there are other organizations out there that push different kinds of views). There was a study done on how prayer is actually harmful, but beyond that I haven't seen much.
I've seen studies on religious people on average being less intelligent than nonreligious people.
Religion :
"Religion is a collection of belief systems, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to spirituality and, sometimes, to moral values. Many religions have narratives, symbols, traditions and sacred histories that are intended to give meaning to life or to explain the origin of life or the Universe. They tend to derive morality, ethics, religious laws or a preferred lifestyle from their ideas about the cosmos and human nature. According to some estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions in the world."
In that sense, I think we can accept that Buddhism is a religion.
Magna Veritas
That's a faulty definition. Confucianism is a philosophy and it is a collection of values. But it's not a religion. Buddhism isn't a religion either. It's a philosophy. And why are you asking me to accept that?
He said on average.I believe in God. Does your statement mean that I am less intelligent than you ?
I'm an Atheist, but I'm open minded when it comes to spirituality. What people choose to believe is their own business and I really don't mind talking about it so long as they don't try to force it on me.
Religion is centered around the worship of a deity or deities. Buddhism isn't like that. Whether it has values is not the point. Confucianism has values too... but it's definitely not a religion.
He said on average. That means an average. He's not talking about individuals. The statement was regarding the overall... and was discussing religious people.
Webster definition :
Definition of RELIGION
a : the state of a religious <a nun in her 20th year of religion>
b (1) : the service and worship of God or the supernatural (2) : commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance
: a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices
archaic : scrupulous conformity : conscientiousness
: a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith
Examples of RELIGION
There are many religions, such as Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism.
Magna Veritas
dictionnary.com definition :
[ri-lij-uh n] Show IPA
a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects: the Christian religion; the Buddhist religion.
the body of persons adhering to a particular set of beliefs and practices: a world council of religions.
the life or state of a monk, nun, etc.: to enter religion.
the practice of religious beliefs; ritual observance of faith.
Magna Veritas
That definition is mistaken though. Buddhism isn't a religion. It's more of a philosophy like Confucianism. The definition is a Western definition from a western source that commonly misinterprets what Buddhism really is.
What are you trying to prove? That Buddhism is a religion? Doesn't cut it. Keep posting all the definitions you want.
Here is one for philosophy:
phi·los·o·phy [fi-los-uh-fee] Show IPA
noun, plural phi·los·o·phies.
1. the rational investigation of the truths and principles of being, knowledge, or conduct.
2. any of the three branches, namely natural philosophy, moral philosophy, and metaphysical philosophy, that are accepted as composing this study.
3. a system of philosophical doctrine: the philosophy of Spinoza.
4. the critical study of the basic principles and concepts of a particular branch of knowledge, especially with a view to improving or reconstituting them: the philosophy of science.
5. a system of principles for guidance in practical affairs.
In this sense, Buddhism sounds like it fits this definition more.
So your definition of religion is entirely based on a worship of a deity. It is a simplified view and does not contain all the possible senses of the word.
What I meant is that he can't just try to argue against religion by saying that religious people are less intelligent on average that non religious one. If the most intelligent man or woman on Earth is a religious one, does it prove anything about religion ? I don't think so.
Magna Veritas
None. Neither do I believe in Santa Claus, Big Foot, Elves...you get the picture.
Probably my favorite quote on religion: "We must question the story logic of an all knowing, all powerful God who creates faulty humans and then blames them for his own mistakes." - Gene Roddenberry
By the way, we have 9 votes for "other" but no Muslims or Jews??
Does anyone else find this a bit odd?
Errr wrong. But that's the primary aspect to religion. It's not a simplified view.
It's on average. Read the statement again. It's about AVERAGES... the OVERALL. And he can argue that, as will I.What I meant is that he can't just try to argue against religion by saying that religious people are less intelligent on average that non religious one. If the most intelligent man or woman on Earth is a religious one, does it prove anything about religion ? I don't think so.
The word Car means the vehicle that is used to fly. Whatever other definitions you can have are false. Only my definition is the one right, because I say so.
Are we agreeing ?
Magna Veritas

I am also enclosing various reports issued by ""The Mexican Investor"" and a report by Banco Nacional de Mexico (Banamex). I would appreciate the return of the annual reports for Industrias Penoles when you are through with them but you need not return the other information. In reading the reports remember that the dollar sign means Mexican currency and only when the letters M.A. appear after the figures is U.S. currency designated. Also, some ad-ditional capital was raised this year through the sale of 625,000 shares of stock to the stockholders at $100.00 Mexican currency a share so that its present capitalization is 3,125,000 shares. As presently set up the shares of Penoles are 85% in the hands of Mexican nationals and 15% in the hands of foreign-ers. One-third of the foreign stock is held by Bethlehem Steel which is interested in the new zinc smelter which is in the process of construction and apparently will buy part of the production. There are several subsidiary corporations in which American companies have an interest. American companies parti-cipating in the operations of Penoles include Allied Chemical, Bethlehem Steel, Continental Company, Freeport Sulphur and Du-Pont of Canada. A Canadian company, Pure Silver Mines, Ltd. is also associated in a silver exploration venture in Guanajato. Apparently DuPont of Canada has some interest in this venture. I am enclosing a reprint from a bulletin from DuPont referring to its interests in Mexico and to an exploration program entered into with Penoles. Penoles has expanded very rapidly in the last few years and the B shares, which are the shares which can be bought by foreigners went up to a high of around $260.00 Mexican cur-rency a share this year but recently have dropped to around Mr. Weston Bourret -2- October 25, 1971 $189.00 Mexican currency. The lower prices for its products, particularly silver, have resulted in a substantial reduction in its earnings. Penole's latest venture is the mining of fluoride and the production of hydrofluoric acid. Apparently Penoles will become the largest producer of hydrofluoric acid in North America and possibly in the world. It has accomplished this by acquiring some fluoride deposits held by Allied Chemi-cal and other U.S. companies and forming subsidiary corpora-tions with these companies to mine the fluoride and produce hydrofluoric acid. According to the 1970 annual report the Mexican government is giving special tax benefits to Mexicanized mine-ral ventures and in particular to Penoles which appears to be in a powerful position politically. The company seems to have good financial connections through the Chase Manhattan Bank and Kuhn Loeb & Co. and the First Boston Corporation of New York. There is some danger that the company may have ex-panded too rapidly and in the face of lowered metal prices its immediate future is somewhat cloudy. However, in view of its strong political position and its apparently able management and the fact that it has several strong American companies working with it I feel that its long term future is good; pro-vided, of course, the political situation in Mexico remains stable. If you should ever wish to talk with the management of the company, I would be glad to give you a letter of intro-duction to Ingeniero Jose A. Garcia who is the senior vice president or to Ing. Vincenti Cisnero who is on the executive committee. Ing. Garcia does not speak English too well but un-derstands it well enough. Ing. Cisnero speaks English beauti-fully and received his engineering degree in the U.S. If you would like me to translate any part of the reports for you I would be glad to do so the next time we get together.

Deep V Sleeveless Peplum Top
Style # 216186
With a peplum flare that starts right under the bust, a sharp deep neckline and a spring-ready sleeveless cut, this bebe top is sure to be the default to plenty a new-season bottom. Try it with a printed skinny jean and a pair of sky-high-or-die sandals for an instant weekend look.
- 88% nylon, 12% spandex
- Center back to hem: 23" (58 cm)
- Dry clean
- Made in USA
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Deep V Sleeveless Peplum Top - ONLINE EXCLUSIVE
This top was a disappointment. I ordered it because the model (red) looked really good in it. The xxs was a little big even for me. I thought the shoulder area was too big or too broad.I felt like I was wearing something from the 80's, broad/pointy shoulders. Also, the fit wasn't right because there were extra fabric around the cut off area, under the breast . My body size is 34-24-34, 5'3, 105lb. Sadly, will be returning both colors, blk and red to the store.

Great top
Awesome top. For references, I am 5'7, weight 122 lbs, and the XS fits very well. This top made me look so good. I will highly recommend going a size down. This top will make you look great :)

VERY deep v neck!
I purchased the Small in Egret (white) color. This is a pleasant change from other tops. I'm not all that crazy about peplum, but I like the material and how the peplum hits above the hips, not draping them too much. The material also has stretch to it, so it is definitely form fitting. My only slight issue is the neck; it has a very deep v, so if you're a bit on the busty side like me, be prepared for a little more cleavage to show. That suits me just fine, as I plan wearing this as a sexy after hours top with black skinny jeans and statement jewelry.

Not flattering on me
This didn't work for me.
It is not quite cap sleeve, not quite tank top, and it really draws attention to your arms. This could be good or bad, depending on your arms.
Also, instead of cinching at the waist and then flaring out like most peplums, this one flares out right from the bustline, adding more volume to your middle and hiding a thin waist. It made me look much wider than I am. If you are looking to disguise an undefined waist this might work better for you.
As for the quality, it is top notch. The fabric is very thick and stretchy, with a satiny lining. I was very impressed with the fabric.
The color egret is off-white rather than a true white.
This shirt didn't look good on my body type (pear), so I had to send it back.

Studies from a prior earthquake in Taiwan suggest that individuals living with serious mental illness are at risk for getting sicker after disasters.1 Here, in the U.S., Superstorm Sandy displaced hundreds of thousands of people from their homeswith more than 70,000 homes and businesses being destroyed in New Jersey alone. The storm also claimed 47 lives in New York, 24 in New Jersey and in the end was responsible for more than 100 deaths in the U.S. The stress and horror of a natural disaster of such magnitude not only makes receiving mental health care difficult or impossible, it can also serve as a catalyst for episode onset or cause major stress, anxiety, depression and posttraumatic stress disorder.
A report by the National Council on Disability identified several problems that made our country's last disaster, Hurricane Katrina, especially difficult for individuals with serious mental illness.2 In the response to Katrina, there was not enough planning for how to accommodate people living with serious mental illness in shelters and evacuation plans did not take this group into consideration. As a result some individuals living with serious mental illness were left behind when the storm came and some who evacuated were turned away from shelters. A recent study from Los Angeles confirmed that individuals living with serious mental illness are still less prepared for disasters than the general population.3
To make sure you're always prepared, here are some tips from Dr. Anand Pandya, M.D., psychiatrist at Cedars-Sinai Department of Psychiatry and co-founder of Disaster Psychiatry Outreach:
In Sandy's wake, a benefit concert will be held on Dec. 12, streaming free and live on TV and on the web. Visit the 12/12/12 Concert website for more information.
