God is in your mind?

Faith is an important thing. Whether it's faith in yourself or faith in someone else. You put your faith in science, some people put their faith in religion. To each his own.

If only each man and woman was an island, that would be the end of it. But it's not like that. You are affected by other people's choices all the time. Whether it's in the classroom, when someone tries to give you a pamphlet or when you find yourself in the middle of a religious war.

And whats your point? "to each his own" is a bad idea? If only people made choices that benefit ourselves, wouldn't that be nice

We are imperfect creatures, that's just the way it is.

I'm saying you're allowed to complain about the choices other people make when they affect you

As for my previous point about the leap of faith, I was trying to make the point that it's always a leap of faith, but sometimes the leap is quite small and other times it's huge. I'm not sure if you picked up on it. As far as leaps of faith goes, I think it's a shorter leap to not believe. I've never seen God and neither does he, she or its influence seem necessary to create humans or keep the cosmos running so it seems a smaller leap of faith to believe there is no God. There are plenty of good reasons why a religion would "evolve" as it were, regardless of whether or not it refers to objective truth.

Not if if you are imperfectly perfect. That's the only way. I should know. We'll see something maybe, it you guys pay close attention. Something's in the mind.

i am in the mood for some St. Freddy Mercury (the messenger)

Do you mean it ?
Do you mean it ?
Do you mean it ?
Why don't you mean it ?
Why do I follow you and where do you go
Aah aah aah aah aah aah

You've never seen nothing like it no never in your life
Like going up to heaven and then coming back alive
Let me tell you all about it
And the world will so allow it
Ooh give me a little time to choose
Water babies singing in a lily-pool delight
Blue powder monkeys praying in the dead of night

Here comes the Black Queen, poking in the pile
Fie-fo the black Queen, marching single file
Take this, take that, bring them down to size
March to the Black Queen

Put them in the cellar with the naughty boys
A little nig*** sugar then a rub-a-dub-a baby oil
(aah aah) black on (aah aah), black on every finger nail and toe
We've only begun - begun
Make this, make that, keep making all that noise
March to the Black Queen
Now I've got a belly-full
You can be my sugar-baby, you can be my honey-chile, yes

La laa la laa la laa la laa la la la la la laa
La laa la laa la laa la laa la laa la laa la laa la laa
A voice from behind me reminds me
(tra la laa tra la laa aaah)
Spread out your wings you are an angel
Remember to deliver with the speed of light
A little bit of love and joy
Everything you do (will bear a will) bears a will and a why and a wherefore
A little bit of love and joy
In each and every soul lies a man, very soon he'll deceive and discover
But even till the end of his life, he'll bring a little love

Aah ah aah
La la la la laa
Ah ah ah ah aah
Ah la la la laa
I reign with my left hand, I rule with my right
I'm lord of all darkness, I'm Queen of the night
I've got the power - now do the march of the Black Queen
My life is in your hands, I'll fo and I'll fie
I'll be what you make me, I'll do what you like
I'll be a bad boy - I'll be your bad boy - I'll do the march of the Black Queen

Ah aah ah aah
Ah aah ah aah
Walking true to style
She's vulgar 'buse and vile
Fie-fo the Black Queen, tattoos all her pies
She boils and she bakes, and she never dots her "I's"

She's our leader
La la la la laa la la laa
La la la la la laa

Forget your singalongs and your lullabies
Surrender to the city of the fireflies
Dance with the devil in beat with the band
To hell with all of you hand-in-hand
But now it's time to be gone - (la la la laaa) forever - forever
La la la laaa aaah aah aah aaah

Written by Freddie Mercury.
Sung by Freddie Mercury.

Thats true and I agree.

As for the part about being allowed to complain about others choices, I think George carlin put it best when he said something along the lines of: When someone says theyre entitled to their opinion, just tell them, "I'm entitled to my opinion, and my opinion is your opinion doesn't mean ****".

No offense, but, I'd be a little carefully posting that picture. It's a personal observation from a pretty reliable source that probably does not care for photography.

He did send you a good song. I never heard it before. He must like you

No more photos though. He/She is a bit too manly, and, camera shy.

Wait
I watched you throw out your bouquet
Now i think about you everyday
I'm alone now in my bed

And there's a lake
And at the bottom you'll find all our friends
They don't swim cause they're all dead
We never are what we intend, or invent
'Cause I make little lies and then I pull them apart
Think something dark's living down in my heart

And if I wanted to die before I got old
I should've started some years ago digging that hole
Well I carry this box to the proper place
And when I lower it down
I let it you fade away
I hope that you would do this for me
I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
If I thought it would help you get away
I hope that you would do this for me

A deer that a hunter shot in the heart
Some dogs that got hit by cars
All came to spill their guts

And we spoke
About the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
And which songs we had loved the most
And then we all turned to dirt
And dust
Some men die under the mountain just looking for gold
Some die looking for a hand to hold

Well I carry this box to its proper place
And when I lower it down
I let you fade away
I know that you would do this for me
I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
If I thought it would help you get away
I hope that you would do this for me

I'm slowly bringing you down from the Heavenly gates
Now I'm drowning in the flood I made
Well explain myself to me on the other side
I'll watch from Heaven when I die

Well I carry this box to the proper place
And when I lower it down
I let you fade away
I know that you would do this for me
I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
If I thought it would help you get away
I hope that you would do this for me
