what is one of the things that make you go "hmmmmm"?

[The Middle Way]

Cindi dating lots of guys.  "hmmmmm"

Hello. What is this 'dating' you beings-in-form speak of? Is it anything like the method we have employed to measure the age of your marvelous planet? If so, why not just ask the 'guy'-being? ['this just in' from the database you call your collective consciousness; now I think I understand: Your 'guys' and your 'dolls' are considered to be different, even opposing entities, though intertwined like that symbol called Yin-Yang. Different so your race can reproduce itself. (And, "that's hot!") And please note that, though your beautiful orb is not so very old, it is what you might call a 'vintage model', one another race that exists in form containers similar to your own might like to 'trade up to'. Rest assured that we formless entities (what you might refer to as pure energy) do not wish to be tied down by such a convention, as attractive as this division into 'male' and 'female' is to us, at this juncture in 'time'.]

This dating process our scientists use to measure the potential longevity of your inhabitable world, which is apparently the same as your own technique, Carbon Dating, might suggest to you that, as you are all stardust (the product most likely of stars like our twin system, which have collapsed and become vortices of energy, like the 'brown holes' in your recent scientific enquiries), you are much older than you may think, and, in origin, more or less equivalent. I might say also that, as matter quite unlike that which we have out here (which can be a cold, dark matter, indeed), you might be very glad that you can say things like "that's hot!" and mean it.

Not Out There Anymore

I am amazed by Christians that vote republican. First, Jesus said it would be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than  rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Second a party that supports the tobacco industry. A party that has allowed the Major oil companies to consolidate and form a new monopoly 100 years after that monopoly was broken up, only to see the price of gas triple, and oil company profits at ridiculous record setting levels, while the poor suffer trying to get to work. That is to make the minimum wage which the Republicans won't raise because of greed. The same party that cut Pell grant funding while subsidizing the Oil companies to the tune of $18,000,000,000 in the face of record profits. A party that supports unlimited gun ownership, the death penalty, while claiming to be pro life. A party that claims to want to protect unborn children, while it allows 20,000,000 children to go without healthcare, but will spend $120,000,000,000 a year to fund an immoral war where more Iraqi's have died under our control than Saddam's. A party that wants to limit civil rights for some citizens in what amounts to hate mongering. Anyone that voted to ban gay marriage voted on a law that for sure would never affect them. You want to defend marriage by banning it? Let me see, the divorce rate is over 50% and 57% here in CA. How about lowering the taxes on the middle class instead of the the wealthiest 2% who don't need the money anyway because they already have more than they could ever spend. Financial pressure breaks up a lot of marriages. The Bush Tax cut of 2001 was justified because of a surplus, but when the surplus ended, the  elite wealthy got to keep the tax cut, while we rack up a debt for the poor and middle class children to pay back.

This is insane to me. Jesus told the rich man to sell all his possessions and give the money to the poor, then come and follow him. So when I hear anyone call these rich republicans "good Christians", it makes me go "hmmmmmmmm".

Love always,
Elizabeth

That certainly made me go "hmmmmm"

Another thing that make's me go "hmmmmm" is the thought of the afterlife.  I am starting to wonder if I really want a perfect afterlife.  Hmmmmm
