Intelligent Design created Karma.
That needs some qualifying, even if you believe in Karma or ID, which most of us don't!
Personal belief systems are just that... Personal. ;-)
That is one of our greatest freedoms. The ability to follow one's own spiritual beliefs.
I rather like Karma. It's neat and efficient. You will get back whatever you do, whether it's good or evil.
In this lifetime or the next.
TBR will get his in the long run. I take comfort in that thought.
Whether or not you believe that the creator/celestial engineer is male, female, monotheisitic or polytheistic does not really matter. So long as you believe in a higher power...
Cheers! -- Om.

Therose, Omelet is a sensitive, a new age kind of guy. He likes pina colada, moonlight walks, candlelit dinners, light reading, makes his own clothes, meeting people. A really great guy!

Sure. "Locker" is the chief spokesman for the web forums. He claims to know more about powerlifting than Keith Hobman, and says that he's a world-class 275-pound powerlifter.

And when he argues with me, he authoritatively cites methods used by "most football coaches" to dispute findings in recognized scientific literature.
Who can argue with someone like that?
There's someone over in rasf who keeps telling David Friedman that David doesn't know anything about economics.
There's the guy (same one, maybe) who told John McCarthy that JMcC didn't know about programming languages.
This is Usenet; there are plenty of people who can argue with someone like that.

That's the point I made Om mate, most people don't, including me!
However, I would really like to and it's not for the want of trying. At best I am a hopeful Agnostic...
If you recall, I'm also Agnostic.
I know there is a higher power. I follow no organized religeon. -- Peace, Om.

What exactly are you hoping for? 72 virgins?
I should want a much better guarantee than some Imam's promise, before I blew my [censored] away.
However, it doesn't sound very likely to me, but I hope no-one is listening and we don't set off another round of outraged Muslims throwing rattles out of prams worldwide! ;o)
Aren't they a bunch of [censored]?
IMHO Muslims have NO sense of humor!!!
It's obvious to me that "god" had a great one. ;-)
Why else the platypus, or the giraffe?
Or xex for that matter... -- Peace, Om.

You're right. There are numerous (moderated) internet forums now that have replaced this ng. Find one you like and sign up. Usenet for exercise help is dead.
Proud of yourself?

I had a severely autistic teenage patient who put his head through a half inch plate glass window.
He could argue with Locker.

Ouch. -- Peace, Om.

Agnostic doesn't KNOW there is "higher power". Organized or not, you're religious, not agnostic.

A- none Gnostic- religion
Ok, technically you are correct...
I've always felt that agnosticism referred to simply not knowing whether or not it was true. What was right. What path to follow.
I guess it's a point of view. -- Peace, Om.

Yes, arguing with Locker can be painful, but, the headache goes away when you ignore him again.
Nuh - uh. Gnostic is from Gnosis , which means, I believe, 'knowledge". So, literally, agnostic means "I dunno". Which is, of course, the only honest answer one can have about higher powers, afterlife, etc.
