I have precognition. You will give me money. ;) haven't watched it, but getting a fig tree to wither breaks no law of nature. unfortunately, keeping money-grabbers out of religion is a much harder endeavour I'd posit that religion is...

No, the search for synchronicity comes when you install miles of red string connecting all those clippings... ;)

Yep, or at least whatever the word would be for the universe itself having sentience lol. No doubt about the above. Atheists like myself often dedicate ourselves to a particular worldly passion. (Not saying religious dedication isn't passionate...

Yes, e.g. the BBC article linked above. These drones arive in Poland/Lithuania via Ukraine and Belarus, so their origin isn't in doubt. They are actually there in the light of day and can be photographed. This is a distinction from the drone...

something sentient you mean? Most people do find comfort in the idea of "something else", a "higher power". i mean the idea that we are born to trudge through life and laugh a bit and cry a bit and hate a bit and love a bit.. and have to style...

I am sorry for that. It is hard when somebody young passes away. You and your family are in my thoughts today. Yeah, for those of us with "more yesterdays than tomorrows," it's a topic that merits a bit of thought. As I have crossed the...

The most insidious and most harmful thing about religion is its role in dividing "us" vs "them". Ask anyone in Ireland, or the whole of the Middle East, or Pakistan/India, or in any other war-torn country where the division lies between two...

I totally understand. It's on my mind a lot of the time as I get older, too, and my friends die along the way. Such a deal! My Dad's mom who was almost 103, died just last week, and my Dad got back from NY a couple of days ago, having lost his...
