An Atheist/Technologist Envisions the Afterlife

Kalima,
I will do what I can from here.
If I can just find the right tools.

Kalima, that doesn’t sound nutty to me at all.
There must be many reasons for this and most we don’t know yet.
You must have had a deep closeness to you mother.
Can all of that just disappear?
I often have the feeling when my girls are performing in a concert or play that somehow my mom and my husbands mom are both there in the room watching.
They both got along quite nicely when they were still here.
They were both so proud of the girls and I know how much they would enjoy any of these performances.
Later, if we look at photos of the shows or recitals, you can see various small round light spots on the photos.
Why don’t I see those spots on photos of the dogs?
Both of gramdmas loved these girls so much, and both a bit annoyed by the dogs!
Of course the grandpas loved the girls so much too it’s just that the gramdmas both had an extra special love of any kind of theater or music.

David,

Welcome to the Planet
I very much enjoy this article in both style and content.

especially this line

I believe science holds the keys that will someday open the door to an afterlife.

I have long thought that Science and Spirituality just have not met, yet.
It’s as if they go to the same parties, shop in the same markets,
but have never had a real face to face meeting.
What is holding them up?
They should get along quite well don’t you think?
Have they seen one another across the room?
They are both kinda hot.
Have their eyes met?
I can’t help thinking,
they would be perfect for one another.
Maybe eHarmony could help.
Because they both seem a little lonely

It seems as if Science is doing it’s part by being out there,
curious, inquisitive, well educated and willing to try new things.
You know, Ballroom dancing and Salsa dancing and maybe even cliff diving.
Spirituality should be just as enthusiastic
but you can’t just say you like hot air balloons,
you have to be willing to try one.
If you are going to act like a stuck up stick in the mud and a know it all,
you are probably going to be alone.
Come on Spirituality, you know you want the company.
Oh and it would help if you would quit with the smoking,
who wants to spend an eternity with that smell?

You know that line…..
“I’m not Religious but I’m Spiritual”
Ugh…
How about go ahead and be as Religious or Spiritual as you wish.
Just don’t give up on that curiosity factor.
Isn’t that what God would want?

One of my all time favorites
This is wonderful to see live and many Orchestra’s feature this piece
in their summer festival line up.
It’s great to hear in the summer in the open air watching the stars above
Here is the composer playing his own work

Hey, where did my new curtains go?

» Posted By PatsyT On June 18, 2010 @ 11:14 am

I have been thinking of the tea party and the republican party as the growing ‘minority’!
They just keep digging the hole bigger and bigger.
Oh and kes,
I love the pic
It is so big that it’s off my computer screen!
Those curtains look pretty good on my windows. 😉

Aerial photos of the oil slick

A little update on this site….

It’s still up and OMG the photos are making me laugh so hard!!!!

I am not sure if this is his real site but lots of people there think it is…
Just not sure …the photos in the photo gallery are kinda giving it away.
I don’t think Joe Barton would have put up those photos….
edit…
Reading the links….
This can’t be his page
someone was very quick and creative
oh boy this has me laughing

Thanks kes,
I’ll inform my husband… 😉

Now don’t start that apologizing thing
again 😉

Joe Barton has a face book page

http://www.facebook.com/RepJoeBarton?v=wall&story_fbid=130316913655840

He still has his statement up

Joe Barton PERSONAL UPDATE: today is hearing with BP ceo…..BP is definitely responsible for the accidental oil spill in the Gulf,and should be liable for costs of clean up ….BP should also, however, be given due process ….The President’s $20 billion fund,negotiated in the White House with the attorney general in the room, is unprecedented and smacks of a shakedown .

43 people like his comment
over 500 have something else to say…
on the first page……

“You are a a**hole!”

» Posted By PatsyT On June 17, 2010 @ 5:01 pm

That’s ok Boomer No need to be sorry…..
Joe Biden said the 20 billion was a responsible response..

I think he can spell O I L
and P R O F I T

Then he will call Rush and apologize on the air.

» Posted By PatsyT On June 17, 2010 @ 3:23 pm

I was not a part of that decision making process.
I deeply regret all the pain and suffering this may have caused, Sorry.

» Posted By PatsyT On June 17, 2010 @ 3:21 pm

Oh bito, you are never a bother, sorry if I made you feel that way,
I apologize.

» Posted By PatsyT On June 17, 2010 @ 3:19 pm

Well,
I’m sorry,
I do not know for sure.
Sorry
Let me know if you find out
Sorry to ask
Sorry
