Nferyn that deff has nothing to do with black dresses.[/quote]Even though it is funny, this is not a made up story (it wasn't John, though). I have known a collegue of mine that was fired in exactly that manner. Well maybe the guy was a cross-dresser and got a black dress as goodby gift

ghettochyk:
hey man, i really didn't get what u were saying. but whatever. just let it go. it ain't that serious.

chill, I'm just playing a silly word-game

WesleyanA:
i actually heard of that before but really don't know what it is except it has a cool name and colleges/university put it in their brochures they send to students. . ."come to our school and when you graduate, you have a 75% chance of getting employed in some fortune 500 company".

and i'm like, okay?

Doesn't mean a lot. Maybe they pay higher salaries and bonuses in the US? Anyway, I think I'm not going to stay very much longer. I do not like the the American intra-company competitive work atmosphere. I work best as a member of a team. You need to be on your toes for your colleagues all the time and they would slit your troath with a smile (figuratively speaking)

Hi John, how are you doing today? Hope everything is a-okay? And the family? Oh and by the way, you're fired. You have 5 minutes to clean out your desk

That has nothing to do with black dresses, though

ghettochyk:
what?

Wasn't the question whether or not you could answer a question with a question? Does that answer your question or do you have more questions?

WesleyanA:
you are one smart versatile guy Nferyn. even if i haven't told you that before. . . .

thx 4 the compliment

WesleyanA:
you speak how many? 3 languages? I know there are a couple of people who learn more but really!!
you could make millions for being that smart. esp if you worked with some international company where you know their language.

We [b]all [/b]speak 3 languages over here in Belgium (well, almost). Many people speak 4 or 5 languages. A friend of mine speaks 7 languages, for 3 of them you would even think it was his mother tongue.
I do work for an international company, an American fortune 500 company (Manpower) and I don't make millions (I wish)

No, but you can always answer and answer with a question. It's just a question of not answering the question, but rather questioning the answer. If that doesn't answer your question, I don't know what will

Thank you, I hate it when people can't even complet a freaking sentence with out making stupid errors.

You were saying?

They were definitely [b]class[/b]y

Look but don't touch... you don't have to worry about that

If you're a gnostic Christian, you consider Christ to be the medium that allows you to obtain knowledge of God, a face of God that allows humanity to take a glimpse of the perfection that is God, because it is impossible for mortals to conceive God.

The Muslims don't consider Jesus in that light, although their perception of God is very similar.

I must say that I have much sympathy for the gnostic view, unfortunately, that tradition was thoroughly erradicated when the Catholic Church became the official Roman State Church under Constantine. They sought to replace humanity and the quest for knowledge by obedience to authority and anti-intellectualism.

Hey chrisd,

I didn't know you were into gnosticism (although I could have guessed)

Muslims do give Jesus a central position as one of the prophets
There are also a significant number of Christians who have never used or heard of the Bible. Does that make them less Christian?

alheri:
Nope, not my opinion. The Bible said so and I believe the Bible.

But [i]Chrisd [/i]read the Bibe differently and he is as much a Christian as you are. Who is right then?

alheri:
Your opinion again again my dear chrisd. The bible says one way and that is JESUS.

Which is, of course, also only your opinion

@ lifexpress,

thank you for your insights. What I came to realise later in life is that your childhood and socialisation play a very important role in your basic outlook on life. During that time, you create an interpretative framework in your brain that allows you to make sense of the world around you. As you may know, certain thing (e.g. languages) become extremely difficult to learn or unlearn once you reach puberty.
I guess that also goes for the capacity to be religious or capability of accepting the supernatural. For me the experiental aspects of a God belief (things like feeling the spirit) absolutely make no sense at all. It might as well be an alien that is speaking to me.
The other possible aspects of a God belief (evidenctial indications of God's existence such as history, the Bible, etc) are so incoherent and rely so much on that conceptual, interpretative framework, that they are rather a strong indication against the existence of God than for the existence of God.

Lifexpress, let me tell you a story.
I was born in an atheist household. the concept of God was completely alien to me. Later one, when I went to primary, I saw some kids were going to their weekly hour of religion class, they even did things like go to church. I found it quite funny and became interested in this thing they called God. I started to ask questions. I wanted to understand what they were talking about. Their answers however did not make any sense. Later on, I continued to do the same and started reading the Bible, church history and the like. I still didn't understand what that God character actually was, the only thing that changed was that the arguments became more sophisticated, just as my refutations of these arguments.

At adulthood I came to the conclusion that there is no sufficient proof for the existence of God, especially not for the Christian conception of God. Today I'm still open for the arguments in favor of the existence of God, but unfortunately, they are lacking because they require the one thing that I am incapable of: faith. They require that I accept things without evidence, only on authority. This is a grave insult of my intellect.

nicetohave:
fair statement on the surface, but not enough to justify your unbelief in God..........i pray you find what you need.

That's another sweeping assertion, nicetohave. I am in no need to justify anything, but I do appreciate your concern
