What thread ?
-
I dont, I want to know what it would have been. Maybe it would have been interesting.

Oops , sorry, that was ShifuC who mentioned it , and I saw you in the quote.

[] What is "Moral power' ? Yabyum
-
I've been told to " just B" so B stands for Being and Breathe and Breath.IMO
-
Good point and nifty cross reference!
-
Thanks, but Im being self indulgent at the expense of your thread , as I see it myself so I should stop there.

Ok I get it, stand corrected , and Ill move on.

Since we have an exercise of cherrypicking here , I can do it too. some of them that split open and water comes out, and there are some of them that fall down for fear of Allah Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an SO clearly ,reflection on the Koran would result in a lack of fear of Allah and the hearts would then open to being compassionate. Our hearts are within coverings from that to which you invite us Thats obvious that the speakers would set themselves apart by closing their hearts Allah has increased their disease Merciful ? So who will guide him after Allah ? he who has taken as his god his [own] desire Following his own heart he doesnt need lessons from fictional figures which increase disease and promotes fear.

It didnt need the further explaining, and its still just a toothless threat of punishment.

Its nice to find a place on which to agree. Lets savor it.

That sounds like bickering. Add to it the earlier profanity, and the rejection of divine purpose , and we both have no clue as to the ways of heaven.

I might accept the responsibility of being a spokesman for a Deity, though I can't figure why one would need one as it would be inherently self defeating and unnecessary.

I still like the rusty heart thing, whatever it was buried in. As for rudely interrupting.. well its an open forum which arguably could dub you as its rudeness expert. Insulting your religion ? Balderdash ! It was you who did not like what you heard, quit hiding behind the prophet. Highest archangel , is quite a flattering attribution, curse or no curse.. but you are confused if you consider it as a hugely grand insult, for that would indicate you agree with Lucifer's assessment of himself as greater than a man. And I didnt claim to be greater than mankind, just better than you. Its like that old saying I dont have to be faster than the lion, i just have to be less slow than you. I dont really care about your spelling delicacies either any more than I want to learn Chinese , yet again you know full well what is indicated and wish to spin it into some fantasy devilry. this keyboard is balky and literally changes spellings , as well as makes it difficult to navigate to make corrections , so typos occur. Lastly, hopeless? I hope SO. That's a very nice compliment coming from you , for, in the midst of your attack , you assert that I am not confused about the future which is not here , nor unsatisfied about my current state , as I want it to always be such. I Wub U Darth Vader.

Merry Christmas is no an item to do anything with, perhaps this is what is confusing to you. The point of saying is to extend a gesture of goodwill , but if you did your Hidahya thing then you already know that and you're still pretending you dont get it , as if it was beneath you or silly to express such a notion. As for superheroes goes , well that kind of fantasy is your gig. I'm just better than you and always will be , but merry Christmas anyway. sweetiekins

No I don't have to show you respect for your faith in an imaginary superbeing but It would come naturally if you weren't so defiant of a small teasing joke, or holiday well wishes. You withdraw your own style of well wishes due to my implication that Al Qaeda -felt they -were following the prophet rather than engaging in compassionate associatiton with others. Who are you to defend them? Why should you not be lumped with them , if you would lump me with the CIA ? As well as create fantasy accusations to shower upon my rusty heart. (I actually quite like that, very creative ) You by your own defensive reaction show you feel associated with all queda , but rather than cast them from thee , and clarify how you are not them instead weaponize their behaviors as somehow being the act of a group you dont feel allied with..that is to say..the US and CIA . Americans were willing to elect a muslim president ( whether or not its true is irrelevant), not because of his religion, but because it didn't matter much. The crusade is not by the US but from the side which you feel you are on. The superbeing justified wishers of Hidahya. And yet I can still wish you a merry Christmas because I'm better than you.

Expressing goodwill is far more important than looking for guidance from an imaginary superbeing IMO if everyone understood that the twin trade towers would still be there. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !

Well, I still have my warped sense of humor.

Thats an interesting opinion ! Are soap operas innocuous ? For many the most obsessive perspective of their own lives is the social aspect of it. Viewers get to consider their own reactions , emphasize their opinion on the events , judge yet not be judged. Between that , pro wrestling, and Sean Hannity etc Im not sure who the worst role models are. What would be noxious in comparison?

He didnt have the same style of course but I read that he quoted from Moby Dick ,,as well as the bible ,which may just indicate he was willing to tap into literary tradition that he personally didnt write, or that he had some affinity for the works. While Ahab is a pivotal character , Ishmael is the primary protagonist and so Ahabs misfortune ,isnt as central, as the speculative observation of Life that is Ishmael's. Vonnegut may have read that differently and paid too much attention to Ahab.

Same article The pejorative meaning "fat person" of poutine (used especially in speaking of a woman
-
Irony
-
Which poutine ?, the fat women , or the popular gravy fries
-
Most folks think I have far too much free mind space , but thanks. Ill look forward to it.
-
Yeah , Vonneguts writing is interesting and I did like it ,( I read most of his stuff , when I was a a teenager), I dont think it helped me though , it encouraged my wry attitude and propensity for sarcasm.. but if a person was feeling the pinch of a drab mental rut, well then maybe the material would be of greater impact. I especially like that you are including an atypical author in a post. Yeah Melville is a main-man writer for me , stories like Omoo describe unpretentious attitudes and cannibals, Moby Dick outlines the differences between the critial logical vs the spritual nature of us all,, and his writing just strikes a chord which has made me think more about the subject, rather than become disenchanted . But then again I liked Kon-tikki too so I may just be biased.
