Pottery found 1960's in Jerusalem at the mikvahs of Mt. Zion. Supposedly remnants of the first Church held by James. Etched with (Menorah, Star of David and the Christian "ichthys" symbol for Christ).
I'm ok man, some good days and there's been quite a few more bad days than Id like but im ok. Got a lot on at the moment so only a quick visit. I'll keep popping in though don't worry.
How's things with you?
Haha I'll be on as much as I can be at the moment. No kisses though (well untill you buy me dinner at least)
A survey of scientists who are members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press in May and June 2009, finds that just over half of scientists (51%) believe in some form of deity or higher power.

It is now my turn to have a laugh: I am saying you will never know whether I believe the world is flat or a globe...
My faith has taken a nosedive since my onset. It is hard to reconcile the idea of a loving God with this condition. I just read in these forums that someone knows a 5-year-old with T. A child that young? I don't know. If there truly is a God, then why does He let things like that happen? I am afraid the answer is there is no God. Period.
It is a weird concept for me to accept, though. It is hard to accept that something you believed in most of your life might be a big lie.
I feel so hopeless it's not even funny. But this is where I find solace in the idea of suicide. It's a one way ticket out of here, for sure, but if there's no God, no hope for a cure next year or the year after that, then at least suicide does not seem so bad.
I am having such a hard time with this. Where is the God I prayed to as a child? Is it something I did in a previous life?
(sigh).

Now that's a leap of faith .... in nothing.
(Maybe this is the prayer of an atheist.)
I don't believe in God, but I also don't believe there was nothing before the Big Bang.
