> [@dove77](#): > > what Im reading here is suspicion and pride We are past suspicion. Our healthy suspicion has helped us pierce the bubble. Once the bubble is pierced it is no longer suspicion. Truthfully, yes there is a small amount of pride in having overcome the forces that tried to keep you down. Pride is maybe too big a word and smacks too much of as it is used by the Church to keep you in your place. “Don’t think for yourself and cower before the awsome knowledge of your priest!” > [@](#): > > , a fear that christians for instance only beleive what they do about christ because they heard it growing up. This rather sounds like projection. I don’t fear that. Maybe you are the one with fear that your religion is exactly that; just stories perpetuated only because that is what people grew up with. Which would rather handsomely explain why religion varies from region to region. > [@](#): > > Who told the ones that began the stories of god or gods ?

You want to have your seat belts on tight, your airbags functioning, you wont come out the door until you have proof theres something made of cement to step on. Right, so you don’t wear your seatbelt? You don’t wear shoes and you don’t work because God will take care of you. If God didn’t want you to be cold he would not have made winter, so no winter-coat for you. Or doesn’t it work like that? > [@](#): > > It doesnt work like that. It just doesnt work like that. The idea that anything is a sure thing in this physical world is a delusion. Well you see it \*does \* work like that. That is how we are able to build bridges, television, sky-scrapers, safe cars and cement. What doesn’t get you far is praying to God for things to happen, because you’ve been a good boy or promise to be one from now on. ---

> [@Voyager](#): > > Marriage is just one way group cohesion is expressed. When the former Hittites got conquered they eventually became Persians with Persian customs, and so lost their group identity. For a more modern example, compare Irish immigrants with Cajuns. Cajuns kept their group identity through isolation and a different language, but it is the same thing. > Inter-marriage prohibitions are more useful when your tribe gets uprooted and plunked down in the middle of a bigger world, which didn’t happen to Hittites. Isolation, yes. You can keep yourself isolated in isolated terrain, like the Cajuns, or by (self-)enforced social isolation. Some social elites do this and often immigrant populations. But all these micro-social ‘eco-systems’ within a country will be washed away if you are conquered and settled by new people. If you live in isolated terrain, you may indeed be able to hide and survive as a distinct culture. Hatti, the Hittite homeland, is not that isolated, except the city of Hatushash itself. Plus it’s not just a single invasion that has washed over them. First their empire was destroyed by marauding Greeks, then there’s the Cimmerians and then Tharcians/Phrygians, then Persians, Romans and finally Turks. ---

> [@dove77](#): > > life is the evidence. Life existed before the commandments were given, one God, one source of life itself. It does not demean it by any invention of seperate Gods as mankind tried to connect the dots of their own inner knowing. They were recognizing the one god when they attached the name to many seperate creations of life by God. The Egyptians Book of the dead mentions the commandments in a way, they use the same type of wording to get to the after life, by stating things like: I did not kill etc. and a list of what they didn’t do very much like the 10 commandments. There is no proof that Moses was a real person either, so even if there was it was, a Human who’ said’ God gave him the commandments, and one’s belief is in another human…not a God. ---

Heh, heh - cite? My life certainly began with my parents. My life and mind are intimately bound up with my dna, my fetal environment, and how I was raised in some proportion none of us know. You don’t really know what energy is, obviously. It has nothing to do with souls. The universe, by the way, is large but finite. My eldest daughter is a ton like me in many ways, including appearance. (Except on her it looks good.) My younger daughter is a lot like my wife. Did this infinite life force know about us ahead of time? If the phone had rang at the wrong time would another life force barge in? Here is an honest question: where do you get this stuff? It really sounds like something someone who lived 1,000 years ago might have believed. They didn’t have the benefit of Watson and Crick or biology texts. ---

Oh, I think there are many others on the planet of many faiths that are aware of the God I believe in. We may not have exactly the same beliefs. It would be futile to try to explain to anyone who has not had the experience exactly what it is like. There are many believers who have these experiences in the most unusual places.

I am really curious what extra sense you posses that allows this? You want me to give it a name? No. I will leave that to scientists. I’m assuming that you have this sense, but haven’t used it. My experience with it is very limited but overwhelming. There are people who have these experiences much more frequently. I envy them. But it wasn’t a “god creature” that I experienced. I have said repeatedly that I did not see God or the Christ. If you are really curious, you might want to read about the experiments of a Canadian scientist, Dr. Persinger. The experiences are different, but I think maybe from the same source. His experiments have rather interesting consequences. I first saw him on **Sixty Minutes** a few years ago. He doesn’t make any particular claims about the reason that often certain things happen during his experiments. He remains fairly neutral. But in my thinking, there is another sense at work here that is both natural and largely untapped. > [@](#): > > You claim to believe in god. You claim to have evidence that only applies to you.

I understand that you are trying to communicate too much in just one sentence the one above). Nevertheless, I repeat that God did not appear to me nor speak to me. I didn’t even tie the experience in with my beliefs about God until much later. (This is a recording.) I think the experience I had would have sent me to search for understanding --and it did. It was mostly through a little knowledge of Eastern religions that I began to tie it in with some of my own religious beliefs which had become kind of flat since I didn’t believe many parts of the Bible. That insight was a long time in coming. I do not feel that it is illogical to believe that we have parts of our brains that we haven’t used or been aware of. I think this is true for everyone. I have never claimed that my _beliefs_ are logical. Please stop twisting my words. You are confusing illogical beliefs with logical thinking processes. I say that my beliefs are illogical because I can understand why they would seem to be to rational people.

I doubt that anyone would call my beliefs the “default human position.” You are very wrong to accuse my father of child abuse. He was the kindest and most generous person I have ever known – a teacher and a philosopher. Anyone would be lucky to have a father as patient and open as he was.

Very disturbing, especially because there was a VP of Mobil in her house with us. (I used to hang out with people a lot smarter and richer than I am. ) Now that is funny. In my early twenties I had a friend from Switzerland who thought she would find people on horseback in Nashville. Maybe those people around your house were richer than you. I wouldn’t say smarter. We have something in common: Earle Palmer Halliburton was my cousin. He was born not far away from my place of birth, but I didn’t meet him. I guess we weren’t close enough kin and there was a huge age difference. He also invented those Halliburton cases that cradle photographic equipment and other sensitive mechanisms. Ah!

Zoe, you’re right about having an extra sense after a while. I consider it a specialized form of intuition. I’m not sure what I should call it either.
