Atheism speak your mind about religion

I don't really understand the reference between time and emotions...

You are correct that the association to the words that describe the "meaning" of the emotion, do take away from that meaning, in which is does, to some extent, for all things. It doesn't neccesarily make it more artisitic or poetic. It's more like the rings of a target. The more context there is that is understand, and the more understanding there is with that context, the closer to the "bulls eye" you can get. Of course, it's kind of like shotting with beer goggles on and you don't really know if you hit the bulls eye or not.

No reference, I was just teasing you.
I could have asked you; what color is something that is blue? Or what date is the 17th of August? What day is it on Monday? Or, how do you feel when you feel happy?

Aquamarine, or blood (depending on how you phrase the first question), I believe that Angela has been penciled in that day, Monday is "fiesta day", and feeling happy is like when you slip into a hot tub after you adjust to the temperature and makes you go "aaaaahhhh".

All of you have brought up some very good points to be thought about, especially in the last few post.
Thanks

Does this mean that we're done with this topic and are moving on to something else?

Not exactly it was just my way of saying thanks for the things you shared. You know like how would you explain color to someone born blind or any other senses to someone if they have never experienced them. It would be impossible to do it exactly!

Music?

Good song, I would prefer a bigger selection as to some of your more favorable songs that way I can get a better feel for what you're in to. Generally it's a combination of things but there's always things that stick out more than others. For me, it's always tempo, that's my number one thing. It doesn't matter what genre of music, so long as it's upbeat and "lively" although I do like a few slower songs as well. An example of a faster song would be this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS_foc_NxI0 I find it to be both beautiful and RIDICULOUS, her hands a flying and she's playing it all from memory. A slower more calming "chill" song would be like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl3g8seYy74 He's actually the lead guitarist for Megadeth but really enjoys classical finger tapping most and stuff like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xohcxxt6oHo&feature=related

I love music literally more than life.

It is late but I did like what you shared but not the second one!

Just a little joke! I hear that it is important to be able to keep in time with music and some people use to stomp their feet and clap their hands to keep in time but what happens when you get really good at it?

I wonder if this man finds a need for a woman other than for companionship!

It's one of my current playlists. I would probably advise skipping over 7, 8, and 25-29. You might like certain aspects to them, but (based on your previous recommended video) you might want to skip over them. Specific ones to single out would be 1, 10, 12, 15 (for the guitar), 16, 18, 21, 30, and (most importantly) 31.

They are very good but I do have to admit that I am like a dinosaur when it comes to music. Now my wife she is like a youth, she loves the new stuff where as I only like some of the new stuff!

I prefer easy listing stuff but I listen to many different types of music from Led Zeppelin to Elton John but to be honest I research more than I listen to music!

I was not able to view 16, 18, 21, 30, and (most importantly) 31.

I like this lady it must be because of my environment, "My mother liked her!

Since you're mainly into the older stuff, I would say just 31 which was Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson. The other's were more newer stuff. It was Comatose by Skillet, Your Guardian Angel by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, I Caught Fire (In Your Eyes) by The Used, and The Truth About Heaven by Armor for Sleep.

Regardless of whether you are a "dinosaur" or not, you still have pretty good taste in music. Based on the first song, I would have to say a more southern rock with a little blues kick as well as straight classical rock with a more southern type twist. More like ZZ Top and Led Zepplin rather than bands like Kiss.

Here's a newer one that you might like. It's All Summer Long by Kid Rock:

Yes you are correct that is my favorite current song!

Yes he is a good guitar player I never heard of him before.

I thought that you had a music thread and I was going to respond to it but I could not find it!

Did you delete it or is my memory bad as usual?

Religion is not the problem that we have it may be a symptom but I am not sure that I can even say that is a fact.

I would like to share some of the problems that I think we have and I think that there may only be a few of them but they are complex and have many subcategories.

I will start with frame of reference! We all have a limited frame of reference which makes it hard for us to understand reality!

A person can use logical reasoning but it is insufficient if you have a limited frame of reference.

I would like to share a video with anyone interested but I do have to say the first time I seen it I did not Finish watching it because it seemed stupid at the time but for some reason I came across it again about a year latter and found it to be brilliant!

I pretty much agree with religion is not the problem. The problem is what people do with that religion. You can look at nearly every form of religion and you are going to find a lot of violence. Unfortunately, when people don't practice the base tenets of a religion and they start interpreting "scripture" to say what they want so it will justify any kind of behavior they wish to engage in, violence is pretty much a given.

Does this include all gods that are worshiped, like Poseidon Ra and so forth? I would think so But I know that I can be wrong!

I don't know who that is so I can't speak to it. But I can speak to what I know something of. If you have ever gone into a Christian chatroom you would know just what I mean. All different "sects" of beliefs in there, Christian, Greek gods, satan, etc. I know plenty of "so called Christians" that would just as soon beat you over the head with the bible than read it with you.

Thank you for not being one of those "so called Christians" that would just as soon beat you over the head with the bible than read it with you.

Well, I used to be like that. I thank God that I am learning how wrong and hurtful that kind of behavior is.
