so why create man-made disasters such as 9/11? God would not adorn that in any way, shape or form.Basically God is saying to live in touch with mother nature and live in its form..?
The key in this statment is 'Man-Made' disasters.
Not 'God-Made' disasters.
Humanity was given freewill and it is our greatest gift. Like all great gifts it bears much responsability and is sometimes abused.
Stop blaming God for everything.Basically God is saying to live in touch with mother nature and live in its form..?
???? Because the guys who did that aren't from God.
Where are you from???
God didn't say that about nature ! Nor did God cause or create 9/11. People murder people ... not God !
Only the fool says that anything can happen outside the will of God.
';I form the light and create darkness,I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things'; (Isaiah 45:7)
If you don't believe your own scripture then its your problem and you will continue to be moved like puppets by the laws.
Peace

It's called sin for a reason. Man of any faith gets into trouble %26amp; causes all sorts of hurt when we reject the revealed words of God in the Bible, and instead pick and choose for ourselves what to call right and what to call wrong. The examples are rampant in our culture, from the drastic horrors of the Holacaust to the rich ';preachers'; who falsely teach that Christianity is about being rich and comfortable.
NO, God commands us to be good stewards of the earth He gave us.

Atheists : Why did nature decide for us to live once ? Any hope it might change its mind ?
Nature can't make conscious decisions.Atheists : Why did nature decide for us to live once ? Any hope it might change its mind ?
Nature didn't change...we did.
We live once, just like every other species on this planet, as far as we can know at the moment. It's possible that someday, we might find a way to upload consciousness or redownload into a new body or something, but that seems kind of pointless.
Some people view this as the ultimate state of our species, - perhaps like the Humanoid Cylons from ';Battlestar Galactica';, whenever you die, you get uploaded and your consciousness downloaded into a new body.
The problem with this idea is that eventually, your body is new but there are some experiences you will eventually have that you would rather not have had. In this way, I think the natural order of the universe has done us a VERY BIG favor, in this way.
Because our lives are short , we can imagine that love, joy and companionship are enduring and life-long, rather than the reality which is that they are transitory and of-the-moment.
In this way, I think our shorter lifespan is a natural gift that we should embrace more readily than we do, so perhaps you might want to have one or two livetimes, but perhaps there comes a point after being 300 or 400 years old at which point being 20 for the 5th time just doesn't do it any more.
We can imagine that our experiences are novel and that life brings new experiences. That is REALLY the joy of being young, it's not necessarily the fact that you are physically young, so much as you are doing stuff - perhaps for the first time, and that is really the trick to staying young, no matter what your age.Atheists : Why did nature decide for us to live once ? Any hope it might change its mind ?
Better to ask a biologist or scientist of a relevant field. They understand how nature works better than non-qualified atheists. I'm not a scientist but I'd say it's because it's a chemical reaction that doesn't undo itself, eg. if you burn wood to charcoal the charcoal doesn't turn back into a piece of wood. If' there's a type of spirit or consciousness then there's mainly two theories: resurrection and reincarnation. I don't see a reason to believe in either.
Living is a good thing in normal circumstances so it would be nice if nature allowed for an afterlife. If there is no afterlife it doesn't matter because people won't be conscious to realise they don't exist.
Because it hasn't found a way to keep the cells multiplying forever....
the only way is to keep transferring the information (genes) to new vessels...
i just wonder why you think it is better to live multiple lives without taking with any memory of the past experiences. what exactly would be the point?
Nature is not a sentient being.
Our bodies are too complex to not decay over time; entropy did it.
You don't have to look at it like that.
Some people think by having children, in a way, you're living forever.
Of course, Christians know that we will live forever and God was the creator of all nature so he's the one who decides.
You are seeing agency where there is none.
great question! as a believer of GOD i will check back for more answers on this one...

(Wiccas plz) Do any of you live in a big city with little nature sites?,?
I recently moved to a huge city with traffic flying by my apartment all times of the day/night, but my apartment does have a little balcony that overlooks some trees (a road too) and some more trees, I find just sitting out there and listening to life is so fun and relaxing, I feel it connects me better with nature. Do any of you live in a big city that its hard to find a quiet place to meditate? What do you do to compensate this?(Wiccas plz) Do any of you live in a big city with little nature sites?,?
get a brown candle and say a grounding affirmation daily, it will help with all the noise and congestion that is unavoidable,(Wiccas plz) Do any of you live in a big city with little nature sites?,?
I like going to sit on some rocks, and there must be a park around somewhere...
I also enjoy planting flowers and herbs, that's what really gets me ';connected.';
Walk in the small hours 3-5am

What's the safest state to live in the United States - lower crime and less mother nature attacks?
In the mountains of Oregon.What's the safest state to live in the United States - lower crime and less mother nature attacks?
My guess would be New Mexico - low crime, no tornadoes (depending on where you live), earthquakes, or hurricanes.What's the safest state to live in the United States - lower crime and less mother nature attacks?
ummmmmmmmmmmmm mexico it's not in the united states but it way safe from all the crime
i think its north dakota (it was in the 2004 thing though)
kentucky
Indiana is pretty safe.
New Jersey I live there its great!
Fort Collins, Colorado, I read it somewhere.
Newton, MA
The ';capital'; of Silicon Valley, San Jose, CA was named the safest big city for the fourth year in a row; Amherst, NY was tops for mid-sized city safety; murder-free for two years now, Newton also nabbed the top safe small town award, and Logan, UT-ID won the award for the safest metropolitan area in the nation, in Morgan Quitno Press's 12th annual ';America's Safest (and Most Dangerous) Cities'; award.
';With no murders, as well as the lowest overall crime and motor vehicle theft rates, it ranks as the clear winner in this year's survey,'; said Scott Morgan, President of Morgan Quitno Press.
Overall, following Newton, cities at the top of the heap were Clarkstown, NY; Amherst, NY; Mission Viejo, CA and Brick Township, NJ.
Minnesota is pretty safe

If you could live with nature with no government, would you?
What I am asking, is if you had a choice to go live in the woods, on the plains, in the mountains, on an island, in a desert, or in a jungle; would you?
Your own rules, no one to boss you around, and anyone can come live with you. You get your own food, build your own shelters, no worries.If you could live with nature with no government, would you?
Any group of people need some form of government, because any group of people need a set of rules.
If it was just me on an island then I could do whatever I wanted, but as soon as it's more than one person you need someone to keep order.
I'm not saying it'd be anything like the current government of anywhere, though.If you could live with nature with no government, would you?
as long as i have flushy toilets i am good. also living with nature you just go back to the basics which is just survival it is not ';no worries'; there are actually more than in a traditional society but i would rather deal with natural worries than worrying about being shot or worse by some nut that the government couldn't keep off the streets. i have communed with nature before and have found that i miss flushy toilets when i don't have access to them.
I wish that everyday. I would love to just live in the wilderness. That doesn't mean go all ape and nude. Just have my own little garden and hammock in the branches. Yurp. You're speaking my language, buddy.
Yes, but I wonder how many of the other posters are voting for either Obama or McCain which sounds hypocritical to me.
in this time it is impossible. i would love to go back in time to a less demanding lifestyle.
Agreeing with Ashley M.
Yes. I need the time away from these fools! And who wouldn't wanna live where there were no worries!?
i would love to, but! i'm to old for that, but it sounds good.
Yes. It's cheaper.
That sounds awesome! Where do I sign up?!
That's how I intend to spend my retirement.
YES---I DID IT ONCE FOR 6 YEARS
can I bring my xbox?
