Yes. And funded and maintained by both the left and right ever since. Even the far right contribute and use it.

Any advice on where I should stick my $200?

Just speculation but here they use refrigerated coffins for some of the corpses, which means that bodies are often frozen solid when cremated. The head is mostly bone rather than tissue so it might take longer to burn than the rest of the body. Still seems rather fanciful though.

Best ask a Buddhist or there's plenty of information online about it. It's symbolic I guess. Dog is man's best friend.

What about them?

In Buddhism dogs are a symbol of wisdom and compassion. They also might be the reincarnation of someone's grandma, so goes the thinking here. Clearly a compassionate way of reducing the numbers and limiting strays is needed but you'll never eradicate them all.

Why not just cut out the middleman and give them 90 days prison on arrival? :)

I understand, but whether it's a phobia or an irrational fear it's something that needs addressing and you need to deal with it, for your own sanity if nothing else.

Well said.

Most people try to overcome their phobias but you're proud of yours. That's the problem.

If the earth is heating from within why would you build a bunker?

Very innovative. The first 4 albums were excellent.

No, I'm going to sincerely apologize for misreading you. You're correct I have come late to this thread and there is no way I could wade through 18,000 posts to see who said what. I incorrectly assumed that because you were talking about finding an Inner God, using the capital G like Thaibeachlover that you were coming at it from a Christan perspective. An honest mistake but nothing in your reply led me to think otherwise.

Enough to see me out of this life.

Fossilized wood?

Not sure if you're referencing me or someone else. For avoidance of doubt: Do I believe in a Creator God? No, I'm an athiest? Do I respect all your beliefs? No, because many of them are preposterous. Do I believe you have the right to hold those beliefs? Of course Do I believe you should proselytize? No.

But everything that you say your God is responsible for is the objective world, whether it be life, light, weather, food etc. and is understandable through science as far as we can yet explain it. Introspection does not naturally lead you to a Christian God. Buddhism is the greatest user of meditation and promoter of inner awareness yet famously has no creator god.

Sunmaster says to look within and you say to look without. So which is it? You are contradicting each other to prove the same point. If you do have evidence of a Christian creator God you have the greatest discovery in the history of mankind, something that man has searched for for thousands of years, so please share.

Also you: "Unfortunately, some on here will only accept God exists if a hand comes out of the screen and slaps the viewer a few times while shouting "Do you believe now?" He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone.... eh.

He literally tortures, murders and gets humans to torture, murder and enslave others in that book you're so fond of. If you believe that your God is all-powerful then you must believe he is resonsible for suffering instead of it being the nature of things.

"If there's a God, John, He's cruel. He is there only to torture us; it amuses Him. There's nothing new about that. You know that, don't you? Men have been finding that to be true for thousands of years but they can't bear to admit it. They cheat themselves deliberately." " We are like these weeds, the gulls there. We are born like them, millions of us, and are lost and forgotten as quickly. We suffer, they suffer. We torture ourselves and one another and the sea advances and retreats not caring. Nothing cares." - Hugh Walpole (John Cornelius)

My heart is at peace. But anything would do to start. What provable evidence do you have, or should I just accept Pascal's Wager?

I can confirm this. We had an undetected termite problem when they burrowed up inside a wooden pillar outside the house and chewed away at the wooden roof beams. There's very little you can do about it other than check all wood structures often.

2,000 years of study and 18,395 posts on this thread and we still have no evidence of a creator God. Check out Karl Barth. He wrote 6 million words on the subject. "2,000 years and he ain't shown yet. We've kept his seat warm and the table's set. The second sitting for the Last Supper." - 10cc

We've got all the beds facing the same way, that's about it.
