"no longer involved".
Lol

Whodey is even asking how you would do things different. Why even answer if you are not involved. Clearly you are.

You will not be pm-ed by me -ever. I was just trying to keep these silly comments off the main forum page, hence my pm. Ok?

Thanks. Don't send me "silly comments" in PMs. That's exactly right. Thank you.

Yo its me has selected the following.

1. Hello! A message would have been useful!!!
2. Parenting by couples with different faiths.
3. At what cost does religion involve itself and disassociate itself from politics?
4. There must be more to life than this
5. If you love someone or something, must you set it free?
6. Knowledge verses wisdom
7. What do we make of incidents like 9/11 with spirituality?
8. How my faith/absense of faith changes the way I live my life.
9. What my belief says about my value.

I favor 9, 6, 5, and 7 since 9/11 is approaching soon. I will now let Karoly narrow the field even further.

Didn't send you any silly comments.
I was being sincere and trying to keep my promise not to post on that subject , which is off topic from the op.

If you really believe my comments to you were silly then we do have a problem.
I have made an effort to be as clear and concise as possible. It's a shame that you do not recognize this, even privately.

Aww come on man, give it up! I don't need your dreary self-pity in PMs and I don't need it here either. Please give it a rest.

Dasa, if you were judge would you pick a winner? I mean, would you simply dismiss all the posts due to the fact that they do not measure up to your standards and not pick a winner or would you do your job and pick a winner and explain why?

You make a point.

The best I could do is give reasons why one person has prsented more valid points than the other person and if this means the person with the most valid points wins..........then so be it.

All good topics ,(more or less).

I favor 5,7 and 6-in that order.

So who should choose the topics?
The judges or the sermonites? I'm not clear on this point

Perhaps we should let everyone vote and take the ones with the most votes. This means anyone who wishes to participate in the sermons as well.

So the topics to choose from are the following.

1 If you love something or someone, must you set them free?

2. Knowledge verses Wisdom

3. What do we make of incidents like 9.11 and spirituality?.

Ok. Based on your interest and my percieved acuteness of your intellect, I will vote for no.2 as well.

It's "perceived." Ha, how do you perceive that intellect now?

Percieved on the strength of your posts. (It was a compliment)
I dont actually know you aside from your posts.
No disrespect intended.
The "percieved" comment was prolly uncalled for.

Ok?

It should be made into a thread of its own then.

It probably would, and I am beginning to think it would in fact become a political debate. A more general topic would be better, about how we deal spiritually with the painful experiences of life.
