I'm fine - thanks for asking. I happen to be an atheist - hope that doesn't offend you.

I Very much feel there are humans that walk this earth with a pure divinity about them, truly charasmatic with an ability to touch someones soul.

Are they all religious people.......no [not always]

But something about them is divine or superhuman; a kind of supernatural power or virtue; something which inspires awe.

They are the candles of light when all around us is dark, they are the voices that resonate high above the noise of others, their spoken word leaves you stood there with your bottom jaw dropping, and they manage to make you think for the time that they talk to you....that you are the most important person on earth......

They can be
Teachers, Doctors, Clergy, Waiters, Nurses, Builders, Cleaners, Strangers, Friends, Family, Bosses, Work Colleagues.........practically anyone.anywhere.

True altruism possibly does exist in the world, because its opposite number Shelfishness is out there in abundance.............

Good probably does exist because bad also exists in the world we all know

Alffe i'm pleased you are hearing a message from Dr.Wolfelt that is helping you join up the dots in your life, and glad it also has granted you the ability to reflect upon your own emotions after all these years........truly experience this journey.....[for YOU]

Wish............

just as a point of interest...i know a lady who works in my company...[also a support worker ] Called Theresa who was one of the many orphans raised in Callcutta by Mother Theresa and the sisters of Mercy............she is a cool lady....very humble quite sereen in nature............and very calming to be around [ something...i dont know what????? rubbed off on this ladies upbringing thats for sure]

And Barbo.........i'm sure Hell is on this earth only

David

We both have that right David.

And I truly believe that as well. I've met a few of those people.

I was raised in a Lutheran Church. The whole thing..Sunday School, Church, every single Sunday! Baptized there. Then whatever those classes were I had to take in junior high/high school to be confirmed into the church.

Then met and married a not so nice man, and he managed to turn me into an atheist. Or what I wouldn't admit to him (he was an abuser) was that it was probably more agnostic. Now...I'm not sure what I'd call myself but I'm sure we're all in for something good when 'our time' comes.

Do all prayers get answered? I don't think so. But I do believe the more love and compassion that we give out the more we'll get back. And if we all subscribe to that love and compassion, the world will be a better place.

The really really bad and evil people??? I'm not sure about them. I don't think their 'afterlife' will be as pleasant as it could have been.

But back to the original thought....I can't subscribe to suicides going to hell. Let alone there even being a 'hell'. Most of us struggle through hells of our own right here on this earth.

Doody - I totally agree. For those people that are suicidal, isn't the hell on earth part enough? Who's to say what happens next has to be more or less awful?



So many questions - so little answers!
