Happy Holydays |
<*.*>The beauty of it all, you have to die to see Heaven.
<*.*>If I promise you entry to this city, for a reasonable fee
<*.*>of course, you have to die to get there, or not, and
<*.*>prove me right, or wrong. But God is everywhere
<*.*>at all times. I see God as an allegory representing
<*.*>whatever force created the universe.
But another individual states the non-existence of this never seen
abstract thought is "fact" ... i.e., it does not exist.
It only exists, our knowledge of it, in thought only, maybe.
But it must exist in our thoughts for us to discuss it.
TRUE Statement: God and Heaven positively exist in our thoughts.
They may or may not exist in reality. I have never seen them.
But I have never seen an x-ray, only the result of its presence.
I have never seen a radio wave or particle, depending upon which theory you view.
But I believe that radio signals can be generated and received.
I watch TV (FM radios is the sound portion broadcast separately from the video?).
I listen to the radio. I say radio waves exist. My proof they exist?
They exist in my thoughts? I claim I use these radio waves by "amplifying them"
uhhhh, by using them to modulate electrcity flow to vibrate a plastic or paper cone
that vibrates the air that causes my cilia and eardrum to vibrate generating whatever that
my brain interprets into something I "see" with my brain, my hearing is in my thoughts.
Being in my thoughts does not prove existence.
I can show you a picture on a TV monitor screen. That picture enters into our thoughts.
I can place a pencil in your hand. We both felt the existence of that pencil.
We both see the existence of that pencil, in our minds, in our thoughts.
Being in our thoughts does not prove existence.
I am happy to have acquaintances, a family, a house, a car, a TV, a computer, a job, and
many other things that I believe exist because other people can see them in their minds as
I see them them in my mind. Being in my thoughts does not prove existence.
For quite a large number of people I am very happy that I exist in their minds and they in mine.

1. The theory that the self is the only thing that can be known and verified.

Nay, the self exists only in the mind and actually cannot be verified. for the verification exists only in the mind and

Why people expect heaven to get some special treatment apart from the
rest of the locations on this list is somewhat perplexing.

It is time we abolished these so called Holy Days. Why should
everybody have to be forced to take breaks from work at times that
suit just one cult and yet othercults don't get the same priviledges?
I say it is time to abolish ' holy days' and in their place introduce
'Freedom Days'.
Each year all employees will be allocated a certain number of Freedom
days by law equitably. They are entitled to take these days whenever
they prefer regardless of the employers wishes. Christians can, if
they wish, choose to take time off do do whatever religious things
they want to do. Thus they are guaranteed the right to practise their
religion freely as they wish . The same would applyto all the other
religions where it does not apply now. The rest of us can then
allocate our days to whatever suits us. Our birthday perhaps?
Everybody gets the same free time everybody gets to do
whatever they wish with it. (within the law of course)
Distributing time off like this would help avoid overcrowding
on the roads and places where people like to spent their
leisure and prices will not be hiked to take advantage. Employers
would no longer be required to cease operation on certain days
disrupting normal business
There could still be 'National days' as well so we can all join
in to celebrate important days in everybodies lives, the New Year
or pehaps the Winter or Summer Solstices for example. Some
countries have days when they celebrate their nation (Here
we cannot help but celebrate being British every day so don't
need a special day to do it:-)
Who could possibly object to such an equitable arrangement
where all are satified? Christians need not feel guilty we
are all forced to take time off when it suits them. They
need not feel guilty that other religions don't get the
same priviledges and they will undoubtedly be pleased
they can celebrate their Christ Mass privately and
undisturbed and we will be pleased that they do.

This makes so much sense that the religious
fanatics will have to be against it. If they can't
force other people into acknowledging their
holy days, they lose their purpose in life.

BTW isn't forcing everybody to take time off on certain days to
satisfy a particular religions needs tantamount to establishing
religion, something forbidden under the ageing US Constitution,
especially when the name of the day is officially changed to
a religious name?
Who let the Christians get away with that one?

We do celebrate the Yule or Winter Solstice.
Our Christmas Carol calls it the twelve days of Christmas.
New Year's Day is now All Saints following All Hallows Even.
The gap in time between the old and the new year when spirits
roam free. A harvest festival, a little later than the autumnal equinox.
Pâques, Easter, approximates the spring equinox, Easter, the goddess
of dawn and of fertility represented by eggs and bunnies.
Pâques is meaning Passover and Easter both, from Pascal Moon.
No replacement holiday for summer solstice when Christians
are too busy or on vacation and don't have the time for a Holy Day.

Not my twelve nights, Shakespeare wrote of them, they precede
me by a few years. But yes, mine by choice I have a two week
party over a few seconds anyday.
The solstice lasts a fraction of a second as the sun's
path tangents the tropic and heads north or a few minutes
as the sun is passes over the tropic of Capricorn, take yer pick.
and not always the same date. Modern Christmas is a fixed date.
The Yule festival was originally a variable.
