Misson Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Does anyone know how much variation there is in the volume of individual rain drops in a given storm?

Red Cat Jenny Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 An amazing variety..moreso if you have the time to just listen. It's a little gift of escape.

BriarRose Kildare Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Why is Summer so short and the Winter so long? Summer you wait for it all year round and in a blink of an eye your waitin' again. Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all. The Dimension of Time is only a doorway to open. A Time Traveler I am and a Lover of Delights whatever they may be. There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
Misson Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 An amazing variety..moreso if you have the time to just listen. It's a little gift of escape. I used to work in a physics lab and the good Dr. kept all the textbooks he received for review in said lab. One of them was called Physics for Poets. Jenny's response made me think of that. (I think we're talking about two different things entirely, m'dear.)

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 If "god" wanted man to rule the earth, why did he make the fruit from the tree of knowledge off limits? Bo
Red Cat Jenny Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Why did he give man arms long enough to reach it? A test of loyalty perhaps? Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help....

Misson Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Curious the traits we ascribe to God. Has anyone else ever read Scott Adam's book, God's Debris? It has some interesting thoughts on the topic. I don't agree with them all, but it gives you another way of looking at it, which is always worth your time.

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Why did he give man arms long enough to reach it? A test of loyalty perhaps? So why didn't god just make man loyal to begin with?
Lily Alexander Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 When God made little boys, he made them out of string He had a little left, so he made a little thing. When God made little girls, he made them out of lace He ran a little short, so he left a little space Thank God If you're gonna give me a headache, please bring me an aspirin! http://www.forttaylorpyrates.com/
Red Cat Jenny Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 hehe Lily thats cute ! So why didn't god just make man loyal to begin with It is taught that GOD gave man his own free will. ..Forced loyalty becomes anything but. Curious the traits we ascribe to God. Well, as I see it, man has always acsribed his own traits to a thing or entity, perhaps in order to have a familiar stick to measure his understanding by.

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 One of my favorite quotes: "A god that would let the innocent be killed in his name is not worthy of worsip." From a news article by a Jewish Rabbi ca. 1880's I love religious myths. What great cannon fodder they make! Bo
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Just so's ya'll know, I ain't really tryin ta pick a fight with the Christians, I really just wanna get folks to think "outside the box" once in awhile... question everything, don't take anyones word for anything. I sometimes forget you can't see me or tell when I'm bein ornery. One of my best friends is a Cathaholic... er I mean a Catholic and I tease him all the time. He says to me; Keep laughin all the way to hell you non-believer!" Bo
Red Cat Jenny Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 ....Huh.... * well, it was a random thought.. Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
Red Cat Jenny Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Aw damn! now I wanna go snorkelling...but in the Carribean..NE waters are too murky. Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
Red-Handed Jill Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 One of my best friends is a Cathaholic... er I mean a Catholic and I tease him all the time. He says to me; Keep laughin all the way to hell you non-believer!"Bo Catholic? He sounds more like a Baptist to me... I was raised Catholic - the whole "all of you non-believers are going to hell" schtick is more of a Christian kind of thing. Was he a convert?
Silkie McDonough Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Jill, at one time that is what was taught. I didn't get it and my mother didn't (don't know about dad) but my grand parents got that doctrine.
BriarRose Kildare Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Some one once told me "I was going to hell cause of my beliefs"....my reply was..."How can I go some where I don't believe in?" The Universe is one large book with many beliefs.....all are related just looked at differently. Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all. The Dimension of Time is only a doorway to open. A Time Traveler I am and a Lover of Delights whatever they may be. There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
Silkie McDonough Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 I didn't believe in school but I still had to be there.
BriarRose Kildare Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Thanks for the laugh Silkie.

Red-Handed Jill Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Jill, at one time that is what was taught. I didn't get it and my mother didn't (don't know about dad) but my grand parents got that doctrine. Yeah, the Church is a changeable thing... When I was a wee girl, masses were still in Latin and the priest had his back to the congregation. I got the "you'll go to hell if you do this or this or this" or "you better not even THINK this or you're going to hell" but not really anything about "if you don't believe exactly the same way we do, you're going to hell." In Catholicism, it's all about the guilt...
Misson Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Probably because guilt is such a subtle and effective lever - up to a point. Take a look at many current marketing campaigns - several employ guilt. (If is see one more weepy billboard about how smoking kills kids or fighting global warming is about the future which shows some kid standing up to his waist in the water as proof, I'm gonna' puke.) Businesses are just as guilty of using guilt, though. Guilt - the real national past time.

Red Cat Jenny Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 don't forget pharmaceutical sales... Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood.

BriarRose Kildare Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 You never know real pain until you accidently pull out your nose ring.....Ooch!
