That all depends on what you want me to do

Masturbation is an enjoyable and very healthy

The keyword is 'moderation'

Enjoy yourself!

This depends so much on how we define a civilization! The first permanent farming settlements were established in the Middle East in approximately 8000 B.C. By 6000 to 5500 B.C., irrigation has developed and the roots of the Mesopotamian civilization were in place. By 3300 the city of Uruk had two great temples, and its priests and accountants had developed cuneiform writing. Other early farming communities are India (7000 B.C.) and China (6500 B.C.), both of which led eventually to civilizations. The Indus state emerged in 2700 B.C., while the Xia dynasty in China developed in 2100 B.C.

I always try to help people if possible.

300,000 people dying as a result of the Tsunami. There must be allot of deaf people around or God must hate allot of people. Which one do you think it is?

Tell that to the people on the Titanic and the other 1,000 ships that have sunk since then!

Tell that to the victims of the Tsunami!

Tell that to the victims of all terrorist bombings!

etc etc etc etc

@ Neferyn

You also deserve 5/5 for your well constructed posts with valid points and reasoning.

My train of thought is still with Kag though whom I am in agreement with. I think has hit the nail on the head

This is a part of the writings of George Carlin!

He has a very interesting view on religion

RELIGION ACCORDING TO GEORGE CARLIN

The Ultimate Bullshit by George Carlin (C) 1999

In the Bullshit Department, a businessman can't hold a candle to a clergyman.
'Cause I gotta tell you the truth, folks. When it comes to bullshit,
big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time
champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion. No contest. No
contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told.
Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an
invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute
of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does
not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special
place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he
will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry
forever and ever 'til the end of time!


But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money!
He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't
handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and
they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story.
Holy Shit!


But I want you to know something, this is sincere, I want you to know, when
it comes to believing in God, I really tried. I really, really tried. I tried
to believe that there is a God, who created each of us in His own image and
likeness, loves us very much, and keeps a close eye on things. I really tried
to believe that, but I gotta tell you, the longer you live, the more you look
around, the more you realize, something is bleeped up.


Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth,
poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is
definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am
not impressed. Results like these do not belong on the résumé of a Supreme
Being. This is the kind of rubbish you'd expect from an office temp with a bad
attitude. And just between you and me, in any decently-run universe, this guy
would've been out on his all-powerful ass a long time ago. And by the way, I
say "this guy", because I firmly believe, looking at these results, that if
there is a God, it has to be a man.


No woman could or would ever mess things up like this. So, if there is a God,
I think most reasonable people might agree that he's at least incompetent,
and maybe, just maybe, doesn't give a rubbish. Doesn't give a rubbish, which I
admire in a person, and which would explain a lot of these bad results.


So rather than be just another mindless religious robot, mindlessly and
aimlessly and blindly believing that all of this is in the hands of some
spooky incompetent father figure who doesn't give a rubbish, I decided to look
around for something else to worship. Something I could really count on.


And immediately, I thought of the sun. Happened like that. Overnight I became
a sun-worshipper. Well, not overnight, you can't see the sun at night. But
first thing the next morning, I became a sun-worshipper. Several reasons.
First of all, I can see the sun, okay? Unlike some other gods I could
mention, I can actually see the sun. I'm big on that. If I can see something,
I don't know, it kind of helps the credibility along, you know? So everyday I
can see the sun, as it gives me everything I need; heat, light, food, flowers
in the park, reflections on the lake, an occasional skin cancer, but hey. At
least there are no crucifixions, and we're not setting people on fire simply
because they don't agree with us.


Sun worship is fairly simple. There's no mystery, no miracles, no pageantry,
no one asks for money, there are no songs to learn, and we don't have a
special building where we all gather once a week to compare clothing. And the
best thing about the sun, it never tells me I'm unworthy. Doesn't tell me I'm
a bad person who needs to be saved. Hasn't said an unkind word. Treats me
fine. So, I worship the sun. But, I don't pray to the sun. Know why? I
wouldn't presume on our friendship. It's not polite.

@ Kag

I was truly impressed with the quality of your writing in this thread and your sensible reasoning and salient points.

5/5 Good work and I agree 100% with your view on this subject!

@ Goodguy

Take a look at the Bible.

Those who were warned to stay away from alcohol turned out to be great men of their time. Doesn't that tell you 'alcohol supporters' that ABSTINENCE actually means a lot to God?

What a load of clap trap. Churchill was a great leader and he drank like a fish!

@ Kimba

I am glad you are a happy smiling person. That is a good thing to be

It takes far less energy to smile than to be miserable.

Keep smiling!

Why should God not have genital organs?

Mr. Big

Drink (in moderation) and be happy

If nothing is impossible for God to do then that must make him a pretty bad person!

With all the suffering and sickness in the World why does he not help?

Maybe it means that he does not care?

Stick to the Doctor, it makes more sense! At least you can see him and the treatment he prescribes normally works!

Forget the Mumbo Jumbo. if you really are educated people and care about this lady, forget all this rubbish about 'spiritual attack'. It is time to come out of the dark ages into the modern World.

Enough people have died at the hands of corrupt preachers and faith healers. She needs a doctor who knows what he is talking about and can diagnose her condition and treat it.

I find it absolutley amazing that in this day and age people are willing to put ther life into the hands of these criminals.

Time to grow up people.

Tell her that you have paid for her to see a doctor and that if she does not go you will lose your money!

Kind of blackmail, but it normally works :-)

It is so sad that in this day and age people let this crazy Mumbo Jumbo guide them. Spiritual attack :-)

It sounds to me that she has pitting Edema (Edema is an observable swelling from fluid accumulation in certain body tissues)

Pitting edema can be demonstrated by applying pressure to, for example, the skin of a swollen leg, by depressing the skin with a finger. If the pressing causes an indentation in the skin that persists for some time after the release of the pressure, the edema is referred to as pitting edema.

Edema is caused by either systemic diseases, that is, diseases that affect the various organ systems of the body, or by local conditions involving just the affected extremities. The most common systemic diseases that are associated with edema involve the heart, liver, and kidneys. In these diseases, edema occurs primarily because of the body's retention of too much salt (which is the chemical compound sodium chloride). The excess salt holds excess water in the tissue spaces, where the retained surplus of fluid is recognized as edema.


It can be as simple as a hormonal in-balance or varicose veins to Liver, Kidney or Heart problems.

So as you can see, there are many reasons why she could be experiencing this. The best thing is to take her to see a doctor. He will probably tell her to eat less salt and give her some diuretics (water tablets) to take in the first instance. These will help her pass the trapped fluid in her body when she urinates.

If she refuses to go to the doctor there is little you can do.

She can though help herself by :-

1. Cutting down on the amount of salt she eats
2. Eating natural fruits and vegetables that have a diuretic function like celery, onion, eggplant, asparagus and watermelon.
3. In addition, the herbs hawthorn, corn silk, and parsley are used as diuretics in natural medicine.
4. Physical Activity helps cleansing, it brings balance and relieves stress.
5. Raising her legs whilst resting.

I hope I have been some help and I hope she will get better soon.

You will never be able to trust your partner again and this will eventually deal the death blow to the relationship.

It is better to part, unless for the sake of small children you decide to stay together!
