    Why do you choose to believe? (open to all)

    Instinctively, I feel like answering : because it just seems to me evident. There was a time I almost left Christianity, but not because I didn't believe in God or in Yeshua. (There were other reasons.) And even now, when I sometimes wonder if I have the right to call myself a Christian any...

    A crisis of faith or something else?

    Thanks for the story. It's just encouraging, even if the close feeling isn't steady.

    How many hours per week do you work?

    The only real "work" I've been able to get was an internship with 40 hours a week, and I hated it, I came home so tired and was good for nothing except watching TV, my brain was too fried for reading, my body too tired for walking in the park. (And I'm against watching TV.) I'm totally for...

    What is your theory?

    Actually I talked to a biologist, and he did seem to think that eating alot and then burning it in exercise does shorten the life of the cells or the organism because of the constant chemical processes that are happening. To be able to actually see it, champion marathon runners at 20 will not be...

    Pure Passionate Romantic Love.

    Today a 55 year old friend mentioned the French author Stendhel, as an author she didn't like when she was my age. Tadam! I pulled out a Stendhel novel that I'm in the middle of reading. "Why didn't you like it?" I asked her. "Because I believed in this pure passionate perfect romantic love...

    A way to deal with the oil crisis...

    Correction: it is used in agriculture, heating and cooling. Part of the idea is to create extra incentive for insulation. Carbon neutral houses exist, but currently there isn't enough insentive. As for agriculture: yesterday I heard about a farmer who decided to save money, by going back to new...

    Biblical marriage (not a gay debate!)

    I'd like to point out that in the Bible there was a difference between marriage and concubines. This distinction can still be found in French legal language today. I don't know how they decided who was married and who had a concubine back in the bible times, but the consequeces are this: a...

    A way to deal with the oil crisis...

    I agree, the carbon tax should have been introduced a long time ago. But people's reaction then was the same as it is now. But I think a carbon tax can do somthing for the supply and demand that is pushing up prices: right now, it's the soudies making the profits. Carbon tax would make the...

    Some Advice Needed

    I'll just say what's obvious from your post: find a church where you can feel comfortable in the worship service. For me that's the early morning service where I'm the youngest person by (on average) 20 years. They all respect me and love me. We sing hymns that have profound meaning. The...

    A way to deal with the oil crisis...

    If our economy continues to be so dependent on oil, then we are doomed to be killed worse than ever, with no leverage. If our economy can move bit by bit towards an economy that isn't based on oil (except for making tires for bikes of course), then we will be ahead of other countries when the...

    The Love of God

    Normally, I don't feel that kind of power every day at church (though what got me going to my church was a pastor whose sermons had that kind of effect on me. It lasted until he left, then it became scarcer). But it happens once and a while. Today I had a funny story happen: I was told to read...

    Socialism Hurts People

    News to me. Socialism isn't anti-religious. Since you haven't expounded on your thesis, I won't on mine.
