  2. Again what is this Battle of the Loonies?

    The first guy says the Secret is bunk because of the spiritual either and rebound. The second guy says that all the universe is is thoughts (which I showed him links pointing out two major fallacies that he still believes). Then the third guy says, unequivocally, that it is the spirit not the mind that lives forever...

    None of this shit is provable. That may be your beliefs (as I do believe the spirit lives forever) but you cannot spout that off like it is factual. God all these dogmatic fanatics are attacking each other with their own, unfalsifiable belief systems...

    Kind of like a trading debate.

    It is the IRS that is eternal.
    They will hunt you down like a dog long after you are dead.

  4. <i>Satan is a Christian construct</i>

    I like your posts, but you meant to say "Jewish construct", right?
    The ancient Hebrews invented Satan, while the Christians are responsible for adding the whole "fire & brimstone" part to the myth of Hell.

  5. What is The Secret, exactly? "That principle can be summed up in three simple words: thoughts become things," proclaims writer Mike Dooley, author of Notes from the Universe. Put it another way, it’s The Power of Positive Thinking.

    Oh well...Not exactly a precise trading strategy...but it helps some people feel better about their lack of success....New and Improved "Opiate for the common people/traders"...
