Do you believe in coincidence?
Neither one. I think there are no coincidences, and that fate is some kind of reaction to an earlier action you carried out. But those reactions, or results, follow a certain pattern, they are related to who you are and what you do in the world, they are not just hazardous things that happen to you in a nonsensical way. They have to do with your evolution, they are fitted to you, to your personality, mentality, etc.You make decisions, you choose a path. That path becomes your fate. It could be any path or any fate. You decide and from then on there’s a certain “gravity” to it, certain things that will have to happen and can only happen while you’re on that path. If you are climbing the Everest, for example, you won’t be bitten by a mosquito. You won’t get an infection from that bite and possibly die from it. So, life, and fate, are always congruent. Fate remains linked to your decisions, no matter how far you look. It’s like a tree of decisions. The trunk produces branches, that are in turn subdivided into finer ones. But all of them started with the trunk. And the trunk is deeply connected to the roots, our subconscious mind, from where all those inclinations arise, which, in turn explain why you do what you do and therefore who you are.So being is at the same time doing. And that is fate: if you look at it as a very, very long path, from beginning to end, you’ll see a person’s mission, an explanation of who that person is, a whole description of his or her personality. Seen that way, there’s an inner logic to it, a sense that permeates it and erases every notion of hazard. Coincidence is therefore just a place where the inner wheels touch, which you can’t see linked because you miss the global picture.
Why does the U.S. Supreme Court lack religious diversity?
There are two theories for why disproportionate representation occurs.The first theory is that proportionate representation is the natural state of all things, and representation becomes disproportionate only when human biases, conscious or unconscious, influence human behaviors. According to this theory, the Supreme Court's religious representation is explained by some human bias. Perhaps the Presidents have been using SCOTUS appointments to appeal to Catholic and Jewish voters. Maybe there is a systematic cultural bias in society that Catholics and Jews make for unusually effective Supreme Court justices. This theory says that whatever the explanation, it is something like that where human biases are fundamentally the cause.The second theory says that proportionate representation would be wildly unlikely (in a statistical sense) even if selections were chosen by an utterly objective, unbiased process. According to this theory, the Supreme Court's composition lacks religious diversity because there has been no intentional effort to force religious diversity upon it. This theory doesn't explicitly reject the possibility of bias as a contributing factor, but argues that coincidence is the proper default assumption (null hypothesis) and that the burden of proof is on believers in bias to provide additional proof, to unearth specific arguments for how to load the court with people of certain religions or deny certain religious access in order to make their theory more than just conjecture.Which theory seems more plausible to you?
Is the Catholic church right-wing or left-wing?
Pelosi and Biden and all of the Kennedy's are Catholics. For obvious social reasons, but it is the anti-abortion stance that people tag them with being conservative. However the Bishops and Cardinals in the US have come down on that hard line stance in the last few years. In fact they backed off of it during the Health Care debate, giving Bart Stupak an out to vote on the health care bill as being more important to them then the abortion issue. So to answer your question, they are much more liberal then they are conservative as the above supports.
Why do people think Jesus Christ was born on the 25th of December?
“The establishment of December 25 evolved not from biblical precedent,” indicates The Christmas Encyclopedia, “but from pagan Roman festivals held at year’s end,” about the occasion of the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. Those celebrations consisted of the Saturnalia, in honour of Saturn, god of farming, “and the combined festivals of two sun gods, the Roman Sol and the Persian Mithra,” asserts the same encyclopedia. Both of those birthdays were famously celebrated on December 25, the wintertime solstice as per the Julian calendar.Those pagan festivals started to be embraced by apostates in the year 350, when Pope Julius I designated December 25 to be Christ’s birthday. “The Nativity gradually absorbed or supplanted all other solstice rites,” emphasizes the Encyclopedia of Religion. “Solar imagery came increasingly to be used to portray the risen Christ (who was also called Sol Invictus), and the old solar disk. . . became the halo of Christian saints.”The Scriptures do not furnish Jesus’ birth date. But nonetheless we can easily deduce that he was not given birth to on December 25. How so? The Holy Bible informs us that when Jesus came into this world, shepherds were “living out of doors” tending their flocks through the night near Bethlehem. (Luke 2:8) The wintry, rainy season typically commenced in October, and shepherds—especially in the frigid highlands, like those around Bethlehem—brought their sheep into shelters after dark. The coldest climatic conditions, from time to time accompanied by snowfall, took place in December.Appreciably, the first Christians, plenty of whom had followed Jesus in his ministry, never ever celebrated his birth on any date. Instead, in accord with his instruction, they commemorated only his death. (Luke 22:17-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)In spite of everything, some might say, ‘Does the pagan link truly matter?’ John 8:44 informs us that "there is no truth in [Satan the Devil]. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies." Christ Jesus, on the other hand, "loved justice and hated evil." (Hebrews 1:9) So, yes, it does matter, a lot because “true worshipers will worship the Father with . . . truth.”—John 4:23.
Could you tell me about Welland Financial Foundations?
The fact that they don't have a web presence screams scam. I would bet that they charge you to find you a loan through another company. Not worth it.
