Myself, for I am the only one looking out for me and taking care of me.

magsj----you may be right on…tell me more…I need to learn from you

Well Turtle… I alone look after me and make all the decisions in every aspect of my life, so why would I worship anyone out there?

makes sense to me magsj…actually I don’t see any point in worshiping anything…

[phyllo]

I just do what is best for me…for my survival right now…

How does that synchronize with the golden rule? Surely for the golden rule to work, you must do some things which could be considered disadvantageous for you.

which golden rule are you talking about…

There is more than one golden rule??

You meet a stranger and he has a $1000 in his wallet. You can bludgeon him, take the money and nobody will know.

Do you do that? Why or why not? Getting $1000 is ‘best for you’.

Now you don’t know what the golden rule says.

But somehow you manage to make ‘best for you’ and the golden rule work together.

[phyllo]

You can make a billion dollars by using ruthless business practices. Why or why not?

Did you see my reply to Ierrellus?

@Ierrellus

@turtle

what do you think about mags comment

Belief begins with oneself. But “no man is an island…” (Woman included).

Others are more hindrances than helps, and it’s nice to have a circle of like-minded friends and acquaintances, but they all ultimately look out for themselves and their own.

I am happy to be spiritual, but I am not happy to be religious, and right now I am trying to keep on top of my innate temper and that takes precedence over everything else until that is resolved.

Our Dog who art in Garden
Boffy be thy name,
Thy dinner will come,
Thy run will be done,
On the field as in the garden,
Give us this day our daily tail wag,
And lead us not to far into the long grass
For thine is the ability to disappear, and get us lost,
Forever and ever.
Amen.

Things are still civil in this thread, and I’m sure that with a little effort they can remain so.

I did… through my enforced indoctrination into the Roman Catholic religion, and when I turned 14 I was mentally free to worship me/become a non-dependent spiritual soul.

Many worship money these days, money and drugs…
