"Ok, but not if this is going to cost me 1200 pounds. Starbuck's ain't that good."
Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeI know of a therapist who has had quite some success in curing people of 12-hundred-pound obsessions. His fee is 1200 pounds. Shall I refer you? My fee is .... shucks, I'll even offer you a discount: 1199.

....Send me a cheque for 12 hundred pounds and we'll speak no more of it.
No sir, with respect, it doesn't.
If the captain of the titanic (or member of the crew) warned me that the ship was going to sink then i would certainly heed the warning and make my way hastily to the lifeboat.
For me though, the authority of the bible is not the same as the authority of the ship's captain. Whereas the captain offered a credible warning, the bible offers nothing but ancient stories written for men long dead. The fear tactics were for their benefit, not mine.
I do see the sense of justice in a last Judgement, but then i also see justice in the notion of reincarnation. Wanting something of course doesn't make it so.

Agreed.
They are still crocodile tears.
And its still not true.

I find it a relief, that ultimate justice cannot fail.

I am also not sure why you place my supposed 'wishful thinking' against crocodile tears. They are hardly opposites or mutually exclusive.
[b]You hope that there is no last judgmen ...[text shortened]... last judgement.
And I note that you do not care to discuss what you actually mean by justice.
Originally posted by sonshipJust to make sure there's no confusion, i do not believe in the idea of reincarnation, just acknowledge that having more than one existence does offer an interesting 'idea' of justice. - In its simplest form, i might die as a child in one life as a result of a deadly disease, which would seem deeply unfair if that was my only life. However if i was then reincarnated as a chap who lived a long healthy life the injustice of the first life would be negated.No sir, with respect, it doesn't.

Well, this Jesus Christ is called also [b]"the Prince of Life" . And you could well consider the Prince of Life analogous t ...[text shortened]... reincarnation to be equivalent to each man's "books" reviewed by God as pertaining to each man.[/b]
