The Old Man’s Steps
I may be young in years, but I suddenly realized how often we
complain.
I live almost at the top of this tall steep hill. My step dad,
my brother, my dog, and I went on a walk to the bottom to a park.
On the way back up, it was harder. We complained all the way to
the top. A few days later, we were coming down the hill in our
car when I saw an old man. He was going up the hill.
He was taking small, slow steps but he was making it.
Without complaining!
Sometimes we do that to God. He'll give us a task and we
complain about it. If we take small, slow steps we will soon
make it up the tall, steep hill.
All we have to do is do the task that is in front of us and take
small, slow steps to complete it.

Silly Christians will say their boss was created by God to give them tasks to complete in small, slow steps.
No wonder productivity is so low in Singapore with these lazy procrastinating Christians around. WTF!
That evil viper eunuch Psalm23's testicles and penis have been cut off completely. He can't be admitted into Heaven anymore. LOL!
Green on This Side
What if it's not greener on the other side?
Maybe past the fence it's still the same ride.
What if the ultimate joy always exists in the now?
Maybe every moment should take it's own bow.
What if the apex of happiness was always just here?
Maybe we don't have to guide, we don't have to steer.
What if that's why children always laugh so?
Maybe they're able to just let go.
What if they know happiness is not a thing to be achieved?
Maybe they can feel that being open to it, is all that we need.
What if we've become so "wise" we've forgotten that realization?
Maybe once in a while we should give our brains a vacation.
What if happiness is more about our hearts and our souls?
Maybe we can be happy with the now and still have goals.
What if the grass isn't greener, what would you do?
Maybe it's time to let happiness be the thing that fills you.

An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of Church services when she was startled by an intruder.
She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled, "Stop! Acts 2:38! Repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven."
The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.
As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, "Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you."
"Scripture?" replied the burglar. "She said she had an Ax and two 38's!"

Bible Quote for February 24
God is the Source of Evil Spirits 1
The next day an evil spirit from God came over Saul, and he raged in his house. David was in attendance, playing the harp as at other times, while Saul was holding his spear. Saul poised his spear, thinking to nail David to the wall, but twice David escaped him. (1 Samuel 18:10-11 NAB)

A Christian complained to satan, " Why are you following me and make my life miserable ? Did GOD allow you to follow me ? "
Satan replied, " No, God will never allow me to follow His children! "
Christian, " Than, who gave you the authority to follow me and make life miserable for me ? "
Satan, " You...loh!! he..he...!!"
Satan replied, " No, God will never allow me to follow His children! "

A Higher Power
===============
A Sunday school teacher said to her children,
"We have been learning how powerful kings and queens were in
Bible times. But, there is a higher power.
Can anybody tell me what it is?"
One child blurted out, "Aces!"

Weight
Big muscles don't come from light loads.
They come from carrying a lot of weight.
Weight can build you up or bend you over.
It depends on how you use it
...and how you see it.

1) You can't introduce weight to young children if their body is not ready
and I called it child abused ! 2) all baby are born without muscles
3) big muscles are out ..lean and tone body is in
4) if you have the strength you don't need muscles
5) comparing muscles with religion is like comparing apples with oranges
Nice try bro

The different between science and religion is that the former is always willing to reconsider any of its theories , laws and rules .. Without stubbornly holding onto them .
For me at least the religious texts are in a way like fairy tales . The characters are imaginary , the story is fictitious and at the end of it , it teaches us morality and principles . But when we start talking things way too seriously and as a matter of fact , way too literally , we tend to defeat the purpose of it all . It's like searching for the shoe that Cinderella lost or looking for the mirror which the queen used in Snow White .
Apparently , after centuries , religion is serious business . You can't express your opinion without hurting a pocketful of over sensitive peeps . People think that their religion is the "best " and all other should perish . Religion surely wasn't created to cater to your ego ? Surely the purpose was not to create a divide between people following a different religion ?
All religions are connected to the identical ultimate reality and lead people towards a common goal . This is true even though the various religions make exclusive claims about themselves , sometimes asserting the " uniqueness " and " incomparability" of their god or " ultimate principle " .
Only egos , beliefs and faiths separate us . The basis of any religion is that you must believe something someone else tells you is true , even though your mind tells you it is a lie and it makes no sense . There is name for that " fideism " . Without fideism , the concept of religion would not exist .. Now start thinking !!!!

And so, are you still holding on stubbornly to your religion of materialism?
Since when materialism is a religion ?
you need to understand what is religion in the first place . It's a way of life , just like your Buddhism
Since when materialism is a religion ?
That's why I say you are a moron of the highest order.
If religion were a way of life, Psalm23 wouldn't be looking forward to his glorious rapture.
You are also one of the biggest idiot here after psalm23 who claims that materialism is a religion . By the way buddhism also a religion but you refuse to admit it because you think yours is above other religion ..you are also another snake . By the way since when I mention that religion is a way of life ?
