What does it mean when you look into someoneโ€™s eyes and feel something and is that even possible?

eye contact is nice. Especially when you have a big crush on those specific eyes.

What does it mean if a gal who is crazy about you all of a sudden gets real distant very quiet and mysterious?

I wanst trying to play semantics, you gotta realize that people from all walks of life come on here and not all of them are taking their prescribed meds so additional clarity can often solve a person's query before too much ink is spilt over it.

Why would your boss start being rude to you all of a sudden?

I would confront her as calmly and gently as possible. If that does not work, ask yourself how much you like or need your job. If not so much, start looking for someplace else to work. If want to stay there long term, you should contact the HR department. Tell them that what your boss is doing and ask them what they think you should do about it. It seems like a drastic step but if it is really stressing you and you want to stay there, that is your only recourse. Its your boss' literal job to make you as comfortable and productive in your job as possible. They need to pull their weight.

We are in a commited relationship.

So you're in a committed relationship where you don't go on dates?

Why do we love roman and greek mythology?

Because there is so much of it, and it is so graphic. A search for a single word, the name of any mythical god, finds many pages of images and stories.

You don't have to read many pages in history to realize that the sky above the Earth looked very different just a few thousand years ago. You might wonder why the ancients named their god after a planet that most people now can't even point to. Well, they were quite explicit about that: they didn't worship gods named for planets, they worshiped the planets. In ancient days, Jupiter and Saturn dominated the sky, and Venus and Mars put on quite a show for a long time.

Here is a careful investigation of ancient myths and legends, considering stories in hundreds of languages from all over the world and going back to 10,500 BC. It is very long, and it is still in progress. www.saturniancosmology.org/

For an article that makes a lot of claims about mythology i did not see any specific mythes mentioned when skimming through.

There is a belief that these stories are so old and have survived so long that there must be some immortal kernel of truth about the human condition buried in each of them. So we humans borrow from them as a way of ensuring whatever story we are writing has that deep resonance it may not otherwise have.

Also mythology is just mad cool yo!


The Holocaust was pretty bad and relatively recent in history. Stuff like that tends to carry quite a bit of emotional momentum, especially since there are people who survived it still alive today (I think?) Also the shock of it happening in a "modern", technologically-advanced, and supposedly "enlightened" nation. Us white people are just a lot less impressed when the bad stuff happens in a third world country, sadly.

Second question answer. A good food processor is needed. Not a blender. Get the most powerful motor you can. Nothing under 720 watts is preferred. 1200 is Best. Make small batches at a time storing it in the refrigerator. Occasionally you can find commercial grade machines on eBay.

Is there a specific model that you like?

if god were real i'd murder him.

I don't think I said that God was an idea, maybe you're saying that something I said implied it? Meaning I said that God is a "mere" idea, or he is not conceivable? In any case I don't think that is what I was saying.

Mankind has a history with God: Ok, but it really sounds like you're saying that people should be held responsible for the mistakes of their ancestors. That doesn't seem fair to me personally, hence my struggle with accepting that argument.

Lucifer's motivations don't make sense to me since it seems like it is impossible for him to win that fight. Is he insane or is it possible for him win? Again, if God is all-powerful, it should be impossible for Lucifer to win, so why is God getting all hung up on this betrayal thing? Are you saying he is not all-powerful? If he's not, that makes your argument a lot stronger, as it adds stakes to this betrayal thing you're talking about that otherwise don't matter if he is all-powerful. Otherwise it sounds like God is punishing everyone (again, for something their ancestors did) because he's still offended by something that happened a real long time ago.

That's the thing, if God ISN'T all-powerful, then the whole "If god is all-powerful, why is there evil argument" is defeated, and you're good to go, at least on that particular point.


"You want the head of the company to hand write a book specifically for you." I don't think this request is as demanding as you make it sound. If god is all-powerful, then it really should take him less than a second to write said book for every person on earth and hand deliver it to all of us. That's the point, he's all-powerful. The analogy you just wrote implies that God has human-like limitations...I mean, that's why companies or any organization work the way they do, one person cannot do everything, so they have to delegate.

So all in all, I can agree that your argument is valid if we're assuming God is a lot more limited than that what my particular religious denomination taught me to believe. Valid in the sense that, if your starting premises are true, the argument does follow.
