  1. Her family, is the most important for you and your happiness ???? as well here of course
  2. Simple, because they have faith and believe in something that comforts them, as well give them hope for something better and eternal life. I believe when I die, it is the end of me. We got one chance to live, and have to make the best out of it for me and those people close to me. We all do someway in some form
  3. Quite a few try to make the impression they have more than they really have, and when the truth goes up for the ladies, their new bf got f all, of course they get disappointed, and feel lied to, and leave. We all feel betrayed when we discover lies, dont we? Always preten to have less than you have, and you are good for many years, and can only impress them from there and out. My wife thought I had only 45k a month to live for when we first met, and she stayed with me, even we got some few issues in the beginning. Her mom didnt expect anything from me after the first meeting, and we had the first talk about future. Still she was quick to make party with family and give us the blessings caled rod nam sang.
  4. Why do you continue to ask such ignorant question? I explained how religion is formed culturally, evolved from tribe to tribe, and up today as we see it as power centers such as Jerusalem, Mekka, and Vatican state. World leaders, politicians and religious leaders use their position to influence their audience. Im not member of any religion, and do not believe in any man made religion either, so I do not understand why you continue being so arrogant towards me. I like history and also read religious text's as well psychology, and form my knownledge and opinion based on what I can comprehend, or understand. I just have a voice and an opinion about how the world function and how easy manipulated people are, be it religion, politics, investments and diets to mention a few.
  5. Agree with most, but this fixation about weight under 50kg, gets me every time! If they are 150cm, okay, but a woman above 160cm, is to skinny when below 50kg. Anyway, smaller winy, smaller woman makes it look bigger I heard ????
  6. The three major religions belive in the same god, as mentioned earlier, as well many buddhists accept Jesus, and believe Jesus had lived several lives and reached higher state as a budda or what we call prophet. As said before, it is more that is similarities in the different belief systems, than what seperates them.
  7. Thats called a treating nurse/maid/chef who comes with personal service
  8. A few of them play golf, and I see them once and awhile at my friends golf tournament social gatherings at his hotel.
  9. Still just refering to history and how societies work, and how people getting engaged for good and bad, as well reasons how things comes and goes same as ideology. It is a nice study how Alexander the great and Djenghis Khan worked around religion and how they ruled their Empires concerning religion.
  10. Same age as OP, I would go for a 40 year widow who was married to an old rich falang, with good taste for life. Expect good language, social skills and hungry for a new start with s new man, who have time and energy to please her. If Kids preference already university educated, and out of house.
  11. Im talk about this life, and for some, religion give reasons to live. I also believe many who learn buddhism will se there is alot more to it, that ties them up in a conform lifestyle and it comes with complex rules to follow as well as anything else. I do not believe in man made reasons to live, I believe more in Nature and the law of nature. We are born, we need food, safety and shelter, and also reproduce. In a bigger scale with bigger societies, rules is needed, war comes and go in the need of more territories for survival reasons, and therefor religion have been used as a political tool to fight evil. Original religious people had another sense of reality and often seen as a mental state. Others easy to be manipulated to follow, as well political leaders see the benefits of using religion as a tool. The rest of us, understand the purposes, but really do not believe either in religion or politicians but are forced to choose side to protect ourselves and our families for lesser evil. The benefits are stability for most!
  12. From what I have heard first hand from Koh Samui, a dirty stinking hole, and valium was available. Others have said same about Bangkok. "We were rats in a cage they roamed in, but some guards allowed themselves to be bribed, and bought valium from fellow prisoners to get some sleep. We can talk later. Exhausted… Good luck
  13. What about foreigners who just want free sex, test, dump and run?
  14. Where do I defend religion, I try to explain the logic behind why so many believe in one way or other, be it religion or anything else that glue people together. A major reason why it is important to have a common belief/faith in a society, is to manage to pull in the same direction, and also willing to die for the same reasons to protect what they have. When all nutheads is on their own, the society falls apart, and many people do not function without being told what to believe or told what to do. A mans worst enemy, is a life without purpose!
  15. As a fact, Islam is the latest of the book religions, so in the nature ,,,,,, there is no instructions of killing Christians or muslims, but there is instructions how to deal with non believers and "unclean" Im quite sure Islam do not instruct specifict jews or christians as targets either, but their leaders do often in speaches, as well same for other remigions who have enemie. Muslims believe that God had previously revealed Himself to the earlier prophets of the Jews and Christians, such as Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Muslims therefore accept the teachings of both the Jewish Torah and the Christian Gospels https://www.pbs.org/empires/islam/faithpeople.html The Talmud holds that only Jews are true human beings and Gentiles are “goyim” (meaning cattle or beast). The following are shocking but exact quotes from their various books. Sanhedrin 59a: “Murdering Goyim is like killing a wild animal.” Abodah Zara 26b: “Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed.” Sanhedrin 59a: “A goy (Gentile) who pries into The Law (Talmud) is guilty of death.” Libbre David 37: “To communicate anything to a Goy about our religious relations would be equal to the killing of all Jews, for if the Goyim knew what we teach about them, they would kill us openly.” Libbre David 37: “If a Jew be called upon to explain any part of the rabbinic books, he ought to give only a false explanation. Who ever will violate this order shall be put to death.”
  16. Well, stupid people always claim they are smart, dont they? Everything is logicsl, even what seems not logical, and what you seems not to understand is cultural history, and how it is continuing to repeat itself! If you have a choice to believe in Christianity or Islam, what would you choose? It is that easy, because you will choose what you believe is a lesser evil! No need to try to pick a fight with me.
  17. Then you do not read what I have been answering! Easy answer, tribe control and politics manipulated audience
  18. Some religious leaders I believe are driven by convinced reasons, but at some point being corrupted, not different from politians. I believe in the nature of us, we are both spiritual and religious, and some even think we lost the connection at some point. Kicked out of Rhe Garden Edens. We have strong instincts for survival, and also great imagination, as well easy manipulated, so I really do not find it so strange. What is better motivation when go to war, there is a goid, and a faith to fight for? The good against the bad?
  19. Then you got some reading to do, the 5 books of Hebrew and the Christian old Testament.
  20. You asking the ultimate question, and for word salad, I think my points sums up the reality. Tribes, culture, psychology and politics is common keys for religion.
