    Money and God have been associated together for as long as human history. e.g., take a look at the back of any American cash currency: "In God we trust". The church is one of the biggest investors in the stock market. The Roman catholics own more real estate than probably anyone in the world.

    We may seperate church and state, but money and God? No way.

    Pass the basket.

  4. In my case it wasn't a shift back in perception, it was a complete turnaround. Just several weeks before I had concidered myself an atheist. Not incidentally my revelation was also my baptizement in Christianity.

    stu you take yourself way to seriously. You are allowed to make a mistake. You make plenty - now you just have to adjust.

    jem, if you can read that into these few posts between us , then some self reflection on your part in the same regard you suggest to me, would seem far more appropriate.
    It's easy to see you either get nasty (more usual) or pretend to have made a joke after one of your disconnects , or inappropriate remarks. So far off target as to shoot yourself in the foot.

    btw.. I've only made one mistake in my life:eek:

    I have thousands of posts -- how many times have I tried to turn a post into a joke after a disconnect.

    I will tell you very close to 0 if not zero. go find proof for your b.s. statement. go look for yourself...

    You won't

    I am not surprised - you never were one to let facts get in the way of thoughts.

  9. There is only one Divine Principle with many names.
    What name you choose is irrelevant. Having said this, gratitude does not imply that anyone had any "hand" in anything, it is acknowledgement that when one receives one must also give.
    We are all ONE, anyway, so when you give to other you are giving to "yourself" in a sense. Thinking otherwise is an illusion, dream and sooner or later we are all awaken.
