My brain needs a workout

and no smart-ass comments! :P

Just kidding, you guys are hilarious, truly. I enjoy your smart-ass comments. :D

Anyways so, my interest in CF is completely gone, never been interested in IIDB, all the books I always read and had piled up in large stacks on my desk and on the floor have been removed and have been put away for some time, my other computer is toast, all my links are gone, just ack. I have nothing particular of interest to think about, I derail threads, I skit from thought to thought, threads I am interested in begin to enter territory that I know nothing about.

My wits are dull and that is that saddest thing of all.

Anybody want to beat me to a bloody pulp for my Pro-Life stance? :P

Alright, I have one for you, Sweetie.

It addresses "The Problem of Evil" with a real-time example from my world.

Iva Jewel Moore (http://www.wlox.com/Global/story.asp?S=2995598), was recently brutally murdered by a couple of teenagers looking for an easy burglary (watch the associated video report).

"Friends of Iva Jewel Moore describe her with words like beautiful and sweet. She attended Handsboro United Methodist Church for many years.

"She was just a beautiful person. Salt of the earth. And we're horrified. And greatly saddened. And all experiencing some anger along with it," said pastor Rachel Benefield.

"She loved her church. And she loved the Lord. And I was thinking last night at prayer service we had, that she was an angel on earth and now she's an angel in heaven," said friend of the victim, Betty Jubinville.

The autopsy showed the elderly victim was stabbed to death in the neck.

------

So...a few things I'd like for you to address if you're up to it:

If we should "trust in God", then why do we need police officers?

Why didn't God protect her?

If we trust in an afterlife justice and "freewill", then why do we need any sort of earthly judicial system or legal statutes regulating behavior?

Why is the pastor horrified, sad and angered by her murder if dying makes her an angel?

I do have a question for you.


Recently, I have been investigating what the self is, and I am interested in hearing how other people go about defining it.




So, what would you define the self as?

[Sweetie]

Alright, some possibilities! I'm off to bed for now but perhaps we can get something going tomorrow. :wave:

Tell me the details of your faith in terms of the most controversial issues such as abortion, creationism, Biblical literalism, the second coming of Christ, the efficacy of prayer, homosexuality, and authority of the Catholic church. That way, I can exploit your weaknesses in my game of destroying the faith of Christians. I just got banned from Christian Forums, so I am left with scarce venue to practice my hobby.
