It's been a while, and I've gotten to know you guys a lot more.
So let's see who still wants me dead >_>

Edit: I'm grateful for the responses guys. Got some advice, and some enlightening feedback.

>went to a drug addiction bible class with a friend, felt super awkward because I'm not an addict.

>went to college group afterward and felt led to talk to this girl. Having no idea if I was making this up in my head or if it was actually God, I talked to her.

>what I felt led to speak to her about, she had been struggling with.

Holy Crap O_O

I can't read people, AT ALL, and I happen to speak to a particular person about the exact issue they are struggling with.

My mind is seriously blown right now.

"Coincidences are God's way of staying anonymous" - Albert Einstein

Do you believe this assertion about Religion and skeptics?

"Once upon a time, there lived six blind men in a village. One day the villagers told them, "Hey, there is an elephant in the village today."

They had no idea what an elephant is. They decided, "Even though we would not be able to see it, let us go and feel it anyway." All of them went where the elephant was. Everyone of them touched the elephant.


"Hey, the elephant is a pillar," said the first man who touched his leg.

"Oh, no! it is like a rope," said the second man who touched the tail.

"Oh, no! it is like a thick branch of a tree," said the third man who touched the trunk of the elephant.

"It is like a big hand fan" said the fourth man who touched the ear of the elephant.

"It is like a huge wall," said the fifth man who touched the belly of the elephant.

"It is like a solid pipe," Said the sixth man who touched the tusk of the elephant.

They began to argue about the elephant and everyone of them insisted that he was right. It looked like they were getting agitated. A wise man was passing by and he saw this. He stopped and asked them, "What is the matter?" They said, "We cannot agree to what the elephant is like." Each one of them told what he thought the elephant was like. The wise man calmly explained to them, "All of you are right. The reason every one of you is telling it differently because each one of you touched the different part of the elephant. So, actually the elephant has all those features what you all said."

"Oh!" everyone said. There was no more fight. They felt happy that they were all right.

The moral of the story is that there may be some truth to what someone says. Sometimes we can see that truth and sometimes not because they may have different perspective which we may not agree too. So, rather than arguing like the blind men, we should say, "Maybe you have your reasons." This way we don’t get in arguments. In Jainism, it is explained that truth can be stated in seven different ways. So, you can see how broad our religion is. It teaches us to be tolerant towards others for their viewpoints. This allows us to live in harmony with the people of different thinking. This is known as the Syadvada, Anekantvad, or the theory of Manifold Predictions."


I'll post my views shortly

I honestly keep forgetting it exists, because it's not in view unless I click on somebodies name.
the old system where it was under everyone's profile pic was way easier.

Any other opinions on this?

I watched the first 3 episodes when the show came out.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, but got super busy. Then I stopped watching tv and missed it all.

This show is freaking AMAZING

One Dragon please

*we both stop at a 4 way stop*
 *I wave you to go*
 *we crash because I'm in the passenger seat*

What would it's name be?

I'll think of some later. got work right now.

AMAZING GIF  

Your username, or the short version of it (like calling me "Rocket") is now your legal name.
How would you react?

Everyone will address you using it.


I personally would have no problem with it
If we talk about NASA I may get a little confused.

As you know, I lost my best friend. My dog of 11 years, Bandit.
He was family. So dear to me and my mom.

I lost him 2 days ago......and I've been thinking about how I've been grieving.
I've obviously been upset, but not like yesterday. I worked today, and did mostly fine. Cracked a few jokes, smiled a bit, and helped a friend move furniture after work.

But I thought of this:
We are so sad when we lose someone. But if the one who died could see how long that grief lasted........would they feel forgotten?

If my dog (despite the fact he doesn't care since he's dead and also a dog if he were alive) saw that I cried 2 days straight, then on the 3rd was over his death.......would he be ashamed? If that was my funeral, I'd be dismayed. My death only moved you to tears for a few days, then within a week its like I never died?

I don't know, I've just been questioning if my little buddy would feel forgotten by me.
I visited him this morning in my backyard before I left for work, and I didn't cry this time. I just talked rather quietly......it was strange how different I reacted to that circumstance from one day to the other.

I actually wanted to cry, I wanted him to know whether he could or not.........that I haven't forgotten my little pal.
