Default Could be a conspiracy...?

What if Jesus was still here on earth and he was smoking freebased cocaine with sodium bicarbonate to overdose and die? Now what if he had a wife that would bring him to the hospital with earthly angels? What if the doctors operate on another person and put a new heart in him to keep him alive? Essentially what do we term dieing and comming to life? What is our definition of immortality? What is our ability to come back from the dead in our finite existance? Now, what would you say if there was another person that has a father named Joseph of Aramathea who carves wood? What if his son named himself at birth? What if he was baptized at every christian church and blessed by a Rabbi? What if he chose to be baptized as an adult? What if he was able to do anything he wanted because he wanted to share his ability with everyone but was stopped by constant ass raping as a child? What if he was being threatened with people around him forgetting what alzeimers is? What if the end of the world was only there if the Pope of the Holy Roman Catholic Church and the leader of the Eastern Orthodox church read this? Where is the ability to remember what alzeimer's does to a person. Why is it that they are scaring people with voodoo? Why is it that people are out after this other person that seemed so immutable be slated for death? What if this person met with leaders of the earth and kindly asked for the freedom and consulting of new nations and minds? What if there was a way to make it certian that all of this is just a farce and we should have all the things that we have in order to continue on for many millenia in the future without making us so much a lackey to each other? What do we sense for the ability to look at the small parts of the world instead of military tactical advantage for what has been a long time since the late 1990's. What is quality? What is it when a person believes that there is taking the heart like a canible and replacing his own heart? Does this promote voodoo? This is not christian, this is "Weekend at Bernies." So, do we not include religions that directly pray to the same God/figure? What makes religion able to save? What is it that we are able to live so rationally but include imaginary? How do we define linear? What is our destiny? What about people that believe that religion is God implied and not God determined? What about religion that believes that God reveals? What about a religion that believes that God has many forms and power? What about a religion that believes in a God of laws? What about a religion that believes in signs? Is asking, "you're free, you choose." ? What about people that want to destroy peace of mind with punctuation? Still "Weekend at Bernies..."

Default History?

Has this happened before, during the black plague? Have we seen all that was difficult to understand while our limbs were falling off due to ergotism? Did it appear that people were rising from the dead? Did we as humans make a conclusion that if we are not careful to make a clean effort to get off this planet, that we could get screwed into hating each other more? Are we just going to repeat until we understand that this planet is just a place for our earthly bodies? Is even this statement loaded with questions, like do we consider what people look at on the outside or imagine what people see when they dream? Was there more than religious fact in the New Testament? Are there more minerals from other planets? What do the people in our present and past have to say about making the present closed off to war? What is it about the present, is it relative just how close we are to the present? (we could even measure events in pico-seconds and smaller).

The only thing you ever do is ask questions - what exactly are you hoping to discuss? How can anyone engage in a conversation started with 32 questions? Maybe you might want to revise the way you choose to communicate - especially if you want answers to your questions.

Ok, OK. You are right DizzyDee. I do open with questions. But only to give you a metaphysical glance at life. If you are wondering what comes next, get cozy. Metaphysics takes some time to discover. I am not going to describe Metaphysics to you because it has been years since I picked up Aristotle and I don't want to read this anymore times than I have to. But my way of interpreting your stance on the issue of my questioning is to think about what a question really answers for you. Now, you understand what void that is making you irritated. This is a normal reaction. My questioning has only a few things to answer for you and that is to look it up somewhere and impress me, or to answer with questions of your own. This is very difficult for me to emphasize because focus of establishment directed toward encircling and making the point are all leading questions if you take the time to think about your disposition.

Default Here's one book, I am trying to find others...

Sorry that I have not a bigger list of books to look through. Please don't reem me, I have to look for more references. I read the Republic by Plato in the English translation. I have also read this book: Platonic errors: Plato, a kind of Poet by Gene Fendt and David Rozema ISBN 0313307652. Most people ask for a "gut spill" and when it is presented just stare at the screen hoping for the answer to be translated in the form of ESP to them. I hope that you have the willingness to stop in your branch to go and have a look, though.

I am still looking for futher journals that explain the socratic method. Here Socrates is remanded for the complications that he causes with the introlocuters Thyrarusmacus (*spelling?) and Polymarcus. I believe the book also explains that these introlocuters are key in the explaining that anarchy is only best served when the people are all trading for the common good of the individual needs of each person. This is really difficult in Socrates' world however because the constant bumbling of his willingness to take the words right out of people's mouths, so selfishness is then justified in his mind. Plato kind of laughs but this is necessary for his form of democracy. Anarchy is then refuted because laws would be needed to return Socrates to normal.
