You talk about God as if it were a car you buy and then customize. ????

 

But in the end, isn't that what everyone does? Take some of this, add some of that, mix a bit of your own and voila...your very own belief system. Doesn't matter if it includes God or not. Your belief system is made up of bits and pieces just like everyone else, and as such it is incomplete just like everyone else's BS.

 

Forgive me for asking...if you want people to keep their nasty religious/spiritual ideas for themselves....what are you doing on a God thread??

1/ is this a god thread?

2/ I think you know the answer.

Perhaps I misunderstood that.

 

I'm not kidding, ...why?

 

QUOTE: What does being gay have to do with establishing a personal relationship with God?

The existing gods and their representatives on earth do not like gays.

Have you perhaps created your own alternative god? - that would make you a super god!

You said you wouldn't seek God because you fear being killed by a suicide bomber. Your words, not mine.

 

I know plenty of gays. Some of them are even religious. They don't seem to be oppressed or persecuted at all.

Ah, they invented their own god or adapted an already existing god to their hinking.

Good on them!

I have no problem with gods, since they do not exist.

I have no problem with religious people, if they keep their religion to themselves.

Just dropped in to see if anyone had finally found a proof of the existence of this god character, but alas.

Keep searching!

But try to stick to the OP: topic/1095135-do-you-believe-in-god-and-why

A majority of these comments are senseless.  You are in Thailand.  Just like the regulations through immigration, we being visitors will have to follow the rules established by the government.  If you don't like this process with the vaccine or chose the one you want, depart and go back to your home country and follow their rules there to get your vaccinations.

 

That private hospital was trying to get ahead of the game and make 500%+ profit from the unsuspecting public.  ($330 vs $64 for 2 shots as advertised by Moderna)  The government should whack them good.

Strange.

First you say "if you don't like it, go home".

Next you comment on Thai style (buddhist style? banana republic style?) profiteering......better return to your home country!

It is up to the Thais to decide what is good for their people...

As if that would ever enter the mind of the Thai rulers.

Please! Please! Please! Enlighten me as to why a retired expatriate who lives on his social security and derives no income from any sources in Thailand would be required to pay taxes here? Mind you, I file every year in my home country but my income is now so low that I am no longer required to pay any taxes in my home country.

You don't get it, do you?

I will give you a clue.

In Thailand you pay VAT...... that T stands for TAX.

regulators cannot take decisions on how to treat a patient.

 

doctors make that decision, it's their responsibility. they decide what is appropriate treatment for a patient.

 

doctors can be overruled by higher ranking doctors in their hospital or by the patient getting a second opinion.

 

if doctors didn't follow the protocol, regulators can question their choices and sanction them.

 

it's better to let doctors decide first and sometimes make mistakes and then in case of a problem sanction or regulate them later rather than preventing them from doing their job in the first place.

 

 

Do you think the same about teachers, politicians, insurance sellers, second hand car dealers etc?

Don't you worry about us, we'll be shopping elsewhere before too long, probably cheaper and without strings attached....

Now that there is a deal, will corpuschristie insist that the food aid that Germany sent, be redirected to Africa?

I wonder what corpuschristie thinks about this.... as I never understood his opinion on UNICEF aid to UK kids / to African kids.

Maybe corpuschristie can clarify?
