The Purpose Driven Life

Don't date because you are desperate.
Don't marry because you are miserable.
Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don't philander because you think you are irresistible.
Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat. Don't lie. Don't pretend.
Don't dictate because you are smarter.
Don't demand because you are stronger.
Don't sleep around because you think you are old enough and know better.
Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.
Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals. Don't stagnate.!
Don't regress.
Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or anyone back.
Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr / Mrs Right.
Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr Wrong because your
biological clock is ticking.
Learn a new skill.
Find a new friend.
Start a new career.
Sometimes, there is no race to be won.
Only a price to be paid for some of life's more hasty decisions.
To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong reasons.
To make yourself happy, pursue your passions and be the best of what you can be.
Simplify your life. Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements: abusive friends, nasty habits, and
dangerous liaisons.
Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't overdose on duty.
Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your family.
Be true to yourself.
Don't commit when you are not ready.
Don't keep others waiting needlessly.
Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.
Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.
Do what you have to, even at society's scorn.
Write poetry.
Love Deeply.
Walk barefoot.
Dance with wild abandon.
Cry at the movies.
Take care of yourself. Don't wait for someone to take care of you.
You light up your life.
You drive yourself to your destination.
No one completes you - except YOU.
It is true that life does not get easier with age.
It only gets more challenging.
Don't be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to love.
Pursue your passions.
Live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in your God.
Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!
When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your
life that you'll never get back. Your time is your life. That is why
the greatest gift you can give someone is your time.
Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is
T-I-M-E because the essence of love is not what we think or do or
provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves.

- Rick Warren -

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark

One : Don't miss the boat.
Two : Remember that we are all in the same boat.
Three : Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
Four : Stay fit When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
Five : Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
Six : Build your future on high ground.
Seven : For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
Eight : Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
Nine : When you're stressed, float a while.
Ten : Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
Eleven : No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting...

Read about how the roman emperor initiated the persecution of all pagans after he declared christianity to be the official religion of the romans.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_persecution_of_paganism_under_Theodosius_I

Back then, if anyone disagreed with the priests, they will be either tortured or burnt at the stake!

see how Christianity change over the millennium? from draconian style, to the crusade and then to the current emo state?

Histories are written by the victor and not by the losers. And the truth is usually on the side with the oppressed.

what was perpetrated through all now are religious imports from the conquerors, aka. british, french, dutch.. if the mayans did ever conquered this region, the outcome will be totally different.

I've been away for a long period and am nicely surprised about the music. Keep them coming brother.

Thanks for sharing your views.

i have 4 pillars of debunking religions;
- science versus religions.

- the history of christianity and other religions.

- the logic of christianity.

- common sense and reasoning.


i have talked to many christians, 99% of them will not entertain the notion of challenging the above 4 groups, and insist on wallowing in their ignorance.

how many pastors are willing to tell you about the origin of christianity? 99% of them cherry picked the quotes from the bible to preach a distorted image.

I put it as a challenge to you, do your own research, read the origins of christainity and be brave to ask all sort of hard question; "who and what is god? how does my religion stack up against science?"
