Quote: The purpose of anxiety and worry is to make you notice stuff you need to pay attention to. Any worrying beyond making you notice a problem is excess worry, and you don't need it.
Best advice I've seen in a long time. |

It took a line that was a number of cubits equal to twenty-two of seven parts of the line across to measure around it." Even "And he made the molten sea of about ten... |

| Then they should refrain from telling people that they know something that they do not know. I'm with you on that. Don't see what that has to do with prayer, or faith, though. If anybody ever tries to proselytize to anybody, the prospective convert (if sane) should know that everything being presen... |

| I think "civilized" is a chronologically relative term. Thousands of years later, we will be regarded as barbaric by our descendants. As an aside, I think very few nations on the planet have their legal doctrine based on a rights system. Off the top of my head, I can only think of America. Many othe... |

| The cops really don't have it easy. Most cops really don't care about the political status quo, they're given orders, and they have to follow them. As far as the average cop is concerned, the protestors can scream all they want, as long as they don't disturb the peace and do anything illegal. Then a... |

^That's a restatement of your earlier point, which is understandable.
The issue is: so what if somebody chooses to believe in something that's unproven? |

| You're probably referring to ontology, the storing of concepts, and relations between them. Using your example: Government is abusing human rights Abusing human rights is bad Therefore government is bad. Which can be: IF <government is abusing human rights> THEN <government is bad> ELSE <government ... |

| Wut? The basic tenant of the scientific method is to disprove something. When a hypothesis doesn't stand up to the experiment you go back to change your hypothesis and test again. If something stands many different tests without being disproved it becomes a theory that explains something until some... |

Or at least that seems to be the main issue I run into when trying to describe it. I can sympathiz... |

I don't think people can really choose their beliefs. If that was true, the saying 'i want to believe' wouldn't really make much sense would it?
