Some explanation on something for you... learn something every day you know... hopefully this is something you already know though: Religion - a PERSONAL set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices Dogma - a settled or established opinion, attitudes, beliefs, or principle held by a group of individuals In general most often peoples considerations of what they call religion are dogma's.... a religion is something YOU and ONLY YOU have.... MAYBE a few other people..... but anything set and established and shared by a group is no longer a religion. Unless you have your own set of beliefs that differ from the masses you do not have a religion you just have belief in a dogma.... It's not something some one may like to hear, it's just a simple fact of the matter. It's just words true.... but I personaly don't like people throwing some words around untill they lose there meaning. A religion is a personal thing, if it's not personal it's not a religion

  • Possible cause of fits of Vertigo?

    I've twice had short lived (a few hours) cases of vertigo and confusion, and panic some. These are much worse if I move my head around. Both times this has happened laying my head down and laying sideways on my right side has caused the most intense vertigo imaginable and massive uncontrollable eye movement forcing me to throw up profusely until everything is gone, and then even dry heave after that.

    However after a rather incentive episode over a toilet I immediately feel better.

    The second time I ended up throwing up with out laying down and I felt better, but it came back very shortly afterwords (10mins or so) but it was mild until I tried to lay down, then I threw up a lot and felt just fine.

    What could be causing this.

  • I need help from doctors and they won't give it, who do I talk to? I just get the run around.?

    OK where to start....

    The local place that handles my psychology appointments and therapy has just dessicated to stop talking to me after years of dicking around to do stuff like give me appointments and only leave one message on a machine I have told them I don't have access to rather than my cell phone wich I have told them to call.... always making appointments rather than asking for my own... Then they send me threatening lets over missing those appointments.

    Now they won't even talk to me, everything gets sent to a voice mail and no one ever ever ever calls me back...... I am out of medication left to drop off cold turkey on anti-depressants (wich is quite dangerous a thing to do) and various other drugs.... leaving me in state where I am rather losing my mind here... on top of being so depressed I just wana curl up and die... and nothing seams to get through to them about it..... No meds for me it seams

    I get this everywhere....

    I also had a problem with the bariatric department in Cleveland clinic where there was like 50 some gillion questions that asked about what you have done in the past year... and then droping down to 3 months on drugs and alchohal... i clicked yes on pot cuz i had like 10 months ago and I though it was still doing the one year thing.... and I didn't know if it was a medical thing about being put under or not... they just sent something about how I was a worthless junkie and they won't talk to me till I get rehab and talk to psycologest and spend a year dealing with such things.... Just a letter full of insults

    I wrote them back to explain the misunderstanding... the fact I have a learning disability in written language, passably mild dyslexia, and how a casual use 10 months ago don't make me a junkie... and they where SUPPER SUPPER NICE and did everything to make me feel better.... untill they sent me a new letter that didn't call me any bad names and was pirty much a "God please don't sue us" letter..... now that they believe I won't sue them.... they won't talk to me at all

    I've called and called and called but I just get transfigured around, put to voice mail, and no one calls..... I get a hold of some one willing to talk to me once I get a person to tells me that basically they arn't going to do anything because 'munchies' are counter productive to weight loss and shows I have no interest in losing weight... O.o .... unless I can find some doctors to prove otherwise they won't talk to me..... and GUESS WHAT!!!!! My doctor has been trying to talk to them but they where assholes to him and said basically they can't talk to him because they don't have my permission... wich I gave...... and he said that too and they just brushed him off rude as can be...

    I do everything they ask but they just push me around from person to person till finaly some one puts me to an answering machine that never calls me back...

    I went to talk to the SSI / SSA / medicare / ect about it because I was told I need an advocate from them to deal with it.

    But every time I talk to some one in that I get the same thing "I don't know who told you that you are to talk to us but we don't handle that sorta thing, let me put you through to the people you need to talk to." over and over and over....

    I have given up trying to find the right person this way .... they obviously don't give a ****.

    WHO.... WHO do I need to talk to!?!?!?!??!?!?

  • Why do Atheists and Christians fight over evolution when abiogenesis is the issue they are fighting over??

    Seriously...

    They go on about evolution a lot back and forth and stuff, but it's proven evolution happens just no one knows if it lead to various species of life.... or abiogenesis happened or not...

    Why is the fight not over evolution as a means of speicese development.

    We KNOW stuff evolves slowly ...like dog breeds.... We don't know if it evolves into something totally and completely different.... like fish into lizards type stuff.....

    So why don't they focus on that instead of just saying it dose/don't happen at all....

    Or why not on abiogenesis wich is the core of the argument in the first place....

    I mean they ARE arguing over abiogenesis basically.... so why don't they acutaly focus on it!?!?!

    What on earth is with the millions of people beating around the freaking bush?!?!?

    Discuss abiogenesis for christ sake.... that will end the whole it's a theroy/ it's a fact arguing BS that goes on.

    EVERYONE agrees abiogenesis is a theory.. so you can acutaly get some progress!

  • Why do Christians say this? Isn't it rather contridictory?

    I often hearing that chirstains saying that everything is a part of gods grater plan and everything that happens he has ordained.....

    Uh..... don't that kinda mean the whole free will thing would have been a lie then?

    If everything is pre-ordained then people have no choice in there actions because it's already organged they would make them.......

    Also would mean that people are created for the solo purpose of doing bad and being sent to hell, becose it's part of the plan...

    I just don't understand the line of thought there.... free will and omnipresent control just don't go hand in hand in my mind... .care to clear things up?

  • Braking down mental barriers....?

    Any one have any suggestions to braking down mental barriers you have unwittingly placed apon yourself?

    I've aprently decided I'm not ready for a good many things and have gone and put up a bunch of mental defenses and hid from myself... o.o

    Which is just down right frustrating....

    I'm sick of not being able to figure anything out about myself.... and really sick of the painful migraines I end giving myself from trying (not that I do all the time, I end doing it by mistake more than on purpose)... seams like every time I make a step in the right direction it gives me a headache... and the harder I push the more it hurts.

    I'm a stubborn little bastard and about passed out once from pushing and not giving up.

    I've tried to go about figuring out these things from different angles but it seams like no how many different always I try to figure myself out ... I've put up barriers to slow/stop myself....

    Am I just going about all this the wrong away or what...

  • Do people here not know the difference between a Dogma and a Religion?

    Dogma - It's a organization of well established believes or morals established by a group. (e.i. prity much any "organized religion")

    Religion - Is a set of PERSONAL believes held by a person.

    I am really getting sick of people calling there dogma a religion and then telling anyone that acutaly has a religion that they need to find religion.

    You can still have religion from a dogma but if you don't question it any and find your own asnwers then you don't have a religion.

    Everyone in this world ether has a dogma or religion. If have a dogma quit tring to push it on other people.... YOU find religion... then I think you may have an easier time convincing people to change there religion to be something closer to your own.

    True religious debates come from personal exspirance, faith, your heart, and what you have learned.... not from a book. And they are a lot more conincing than holding text from some dogma they have seen a thousand times over.

    Any coments?

    I would like to hear one reson why there shouldn't be gay marriage that isn't related to your personal morals, or the bible.

    And before you go off about raising children letting them marry has nothing to do with addoption, becose you don't have to be married to do that.... and they have already shown gay's are just as good at raising a persson as anyone else.
