Prophecy coming true.

Any arguments?

[agchristie]

Hi Tambo, thank you.Hope you are keeping well x

[tonyav]

but it's not that simple.We have shared so much together that I can't just walk away.I know people sneer at us but we are loyal and look out for each other.

I can fully understand that, ag. But any negative influences ( coming your way ) aren't going to help with your recovery though, ag.

[agchristie]

Tonyav, I know, but I'm being put in a really hard place and the pressure is intolerable.The problem is I care more about 'us' than 'me'.

[tonyav]

The problem is I care more about 'us' than 'me'

That I can fully understand to,ag. However right now it has got to be YOU. But I'm sure that deep down you know that don't you.

[agchristie]

Deep down yes Tony but it's very complicated.

[tonyav]

but it's very complicated.

That I fully understand,ag. I myself ( I won't go into on here ) am living a very complicated life myself at the moment.

But ag, please, please put yourself and your mental health before anything right now.

[agchristie]

I'll try Tony.Thanks for chatting.

[tonyav]

No problem, ag. Please try and keep positive thoughts.

Aggie, There are none so loyal, so trustworthy, or so devoted as loving mothers - truly. Their dedication is absolutely unconditional so listen to those who really have your best interests at heart. Life presents us with a series of choices and the outcome depends very much upon the choices we ‘choose’ to make. You're a smart girl so make a determined decision. Put the past behind you and choose now to be kind to yourself - please.

Theland. //his [Dawkins] stance is full of holes and quite silly, and he hates the God he doesn't believe in….His beautiful accent belies a devious or stupid debater, and I vote the latter.//

Firstly, he doesn’t ‘hate’ your god. Since he doesn't believe your god exists, that would be irrational – and Dawkins is far from irrational. Secondly, why – in your opinion - is he stupid - and why is his stance full of holes? He’s rather more familiar with the bible than you are.

You didn’t answer my question. If the prospect of eternal life with your god is so attractive, why the fear of it happening?

[DTCwordfan]

Well that's Egypt up Sh..ts Creek....

[AZardoz]

Why complain.
What is the problem with just ignoring this guy? Oh, I get it.
You NEED this guy.
I do like his fractal avatar though.

Hi Naomi,I am very fortunate to have a mum who always tries to do her best for me and fight my corner and pick me up when I'm down.She knows the girls involved and understands my loyalty to them.She worries about me and it's only natural I know.

Thank you as you have always said nice things.

[naomi24]

Aggie, your mum is the best friend you’ll ever have. She really is. I just want you to be wise – and well. x

[agchristie]

Naomi,you and mum would make a great team! x

[Theland]

AGChristie - Regards your Mum I echo the comments from Naomi. Take heed from a wise one.

[Theland]

Naomi - Dawkkns stupid? Yes!
His assertion that a multiverse is our origin is beneath contempt.
His oft quoted hatred for religion generally which includes Christianity, belies his affable public show.

[Theland]

Naomi - Dawkins is not irrational?
Evolution!
No evidence for it yet he is its greatest advocate!
It makes him money!

[Mozz71]

//No evidence for it yet he is its greatest advocate!//

The same could be said of your beliefs.

[Theland]

Mozz - and you would know by what authority?
Just another stupid opinion without consequences hiding behind anonymity, or some serious referenced scholarship?
Been there, done that, got the tee shirt!
Go and do your homework Mozz before you battle out of your league.

[Mozz71]

//Mozz - and you would know by what authority?//

By exactly the same authority that you believe in it all, my own opinion. Unless you have some first hand knowledge of the existence of God, (maybe you've witnessed a few miracles, I don't know) you have no proof that you are right.

You believe it wholeheartedly, that I have no doubt of, but when push comes to shove, you've put your faith in what is written in a book, what your elders told you stories about. You have no real evidence, just a desperate hope that what you believe is the truth. Who knows? Maybe it turns out you are right and I face an infinity of damnation, but I'm not losing any sleep about it.
