Yes, but what is faith? Where does faith come in when it comes to her question - "My daughter’s 36 now and she’s schizophrenic and if God is going to bless me with a miracle baby then why did he give her schizophrenia – what kind of god would do that?"

Christian

Thank you for your reply oldiesman. What would you tell her faith is?

That's it. Her comment: "The leg is mightier than the thumb." George

omitted post here wrong thread -- sorry!

"you lost your faith in God along the way... let me help you get it back I am willing if you want my help..."

Certainly not... but I believe a reason to worship God and continue in the faith, comes from awe and respect for what he's done to demonstrate his grace and mercy and believing that his justice ultimately will prevail. I've been told in the catholic faith that eternal hell is part of that justice; only don't ask me to explain that. I do have a question about atheism in general. What is it really? I thought it was not believing in the existence of a god and/or any spiritual being? If that is the case, why the "F God" to something that doesn't exist? All that really says is atheists do believe in God but hate his guts?

I managed to restrain myself. There was an urge to drag that on, despite it only amusing me. (The shouts would have included "Kimota" and "Alizam" before the right answer.) OK, we should move on from here....

Was the scene in "It Happened One Night" the one where the guy explains to the woman how to hitchhike, then demonstrates it very unsuccessfully, and then she tries it and stops the next car immediately by flashing her leg?

OK, I can hear the song a smidge better this time. The band is LED ZEPPELIN. If not, it Should Be. (What do you mean, it Should Never Be?)

Correct. George

And it is. The first quote was from "The Misfits"; the second from "It Happened One Night"; and the really obvious third one from "Gone with the Wind." George

It's not either group. So, no.

I've heard this song. It's either the Rolling Stones or The Who. "SLICK KIDS" by The Who????

OK, enough joking. SHAZAM!

Should be CLARK GABLE.

GEORGE!

So if you wake up with the sunrise And all your dreams are still as new And happiness is what you need so bad Girl, the answer lies with you, yeah Catch the wind, see us spin Sail away, leave today Way up high in the sky, hey whoa But the wind won't blow You really shouldn't go Only goes to show That you will be mine By takin' our time, ooh Hey, oh Oh the wind won't blow and we really shouldn't go And it only goes to show-ow-ow Catch the wind, we're gonna see it spin We're gonna sail, little girl Do do do, bop bop a do-oh

.Yes, your post and mine. Thanks for the notice Raf.

One aspect that sometimes gets overlooked is that it's not always about only yourself. You may be willing to take chances with your own well being, but what about your loved ones? Sure, I could walk away, but what tragedy might befall, my spouse, my child, my extended family by my turning my back on the cult? It's a powerful control tactic, as evidenced by the situation in N. Korea. Grease spot in the road by midnight, anyone?

"Honey, we all got to go sometime, reason or no reason. Dyin's as natural as livin'. The man who's too afraid to die is too afraid to live." "Well, it is simple. lt's all in that old thumb, see? Some people do it like this. Or like this. All wrong. Never get anywhere. The poor things. But that old thumb never fails. lt's all a matter of how you do it, though. Now you take No. 1, for instance. That's a short jerky movement, like this. That shows independence. You don't care if they stop or not. You got money. Clever. No. 2, that's a little wider movement. Smile goes with this one, like this. That means you got a brand-new story about the farmer's daughter." "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." George
