Everything in nature is a duality (male/female, etc...) so why shouldn't the gods be a duality? Even Christians admit to dual hierarchies of spiritual beings.  It's just that one end of the duality is nicer and more powerful. = Um, if one is more powerful then it isn't a duality... Love All, Vince

LittlDragn posts, in part: I agree.  I've been pagan for quite a while now, and I agree with you. It makes the most sense to me.  Everything in nature is a duality (male/female, etc...) so why shouldn't the gods be a duality? While I believe in more than one God (even more than one species of God) I have to quibble with everything in nature being a duality.  While duality is aesthetically pleasing to our sense of symmetry, on the MOST fundamental level that we've seen so far, there were five (at last count) kinds of quarks as the fundamental building blocks of matter, and four kinds of force. Duality is easier to work with using the most basic logic, binary yes/no type of thing.  But, thank the Gods, the Universe show sus much more subtle logics. But there are many things in nature (I'll stay on physics for this) that do correspond to dualism quite well.  Equal/Opposite Forces (causing forces to be opposing pairs), two contributers to E-M (E and M, polarized oppositely), two nuclear forces (weak and strong-again, opposing each other)... Do the strong and weak nuclear forces oppose each other?  I've piled a lot of dust on my old physics texts- they're probably under a cat somewhere. EM has polarity, true, but not gravity.

I've been reading /posting to a.b-j for a while now, so I'm fairly well acquainted with who believes what. I do have a question, though... Why? Why do you believe what you believe?  Why not something else? Gosh, there's the killer question.  The short version is:  I was raised in a totally non-religious household and was an atheist for nearly my entire childhood (kind of got the idea that religion was for ninnies from my parents).  The first person who made me think about God was my Baptist friend in high school.  While I disagreed with her totally, I was impressed by the strength of her faith. It was talking to her that got me interested in reading about religions.  In high school I was fascinated by Greek, Roman, and Egyptian mythology (I have always liked adventure stories).  I held a sort of pantheistic view for a little while, while reading about Eastern religions too.  Meanwhile I bought my first Bible for 50 cents at a garage sale and read the whole thing through.  Sad to say it was the King James Version, so took me quite a while!  I began to read about the history of Christianity and learned about the Catholic Church (which I had been baptized into as an infant, though never raised in.)  The more I learned the more I began to see that it was entirely plausible that this tradition had been handed down directly from Christ.  The only question then was, did I believe in Christ's resurrection?  Not for a while. C.S. Lewis's book Mere Christianity fell into my hands and probably did more than any other thing

I was cheerfully agnostic for a few years, until some of the Elder Gods appeared to me.  I've found that KNOWING, from direct observation, that Gods exist, and trusting Them are two different things.  They are here for Their reasons, not for ours. Here's hoping someday you find a God you can trust. Why?  Why do we need to trust our deities?  Why do we need their love, other than as a psychological crutch?  As long as they stay on their side of the fence and leave me alone I'm fine. Love All, Vince

EM has polarity, true, but not gravity. You spotted my force ommision Actually, I think gravity in itself is dualistic enough for me (any two massed bodies, no matter what they are, pull on each other). But I'm not really searching for perfect dualism in the universe.  I just find it a really handy (and fairly accurate) mental and spiritual tool. Love All, Vince

Age of an elephant

Age is related to the elephant teeth. Teeth of the elephant is six left UK used cars best.motorization4u.co.uk used cars and six right-hand molars - but they do not grow simultaneously and successively. The front surface of the tooth, where clashes between crumbles, gradually fall off from it are small, thin plates and consequently the tooth decreases. Then in his place moves to the next tooth. The first three teeth of the elephant, the milk teeth. They consume in the first nine articles.used-moto.co.uk Used moto payroll blog years of age. The fourth tooth has used the elephant to complete the 20 - Up 25 years. Sixth tooth - the last, which is the size of bricks appear in the age of 45 years and his job is to serve the elephant for 20 years. Then the elephant becomes toothless. Due to the large (approximately 150 kg) required a daily ration of food, this situation does not end well - elephant dies quickly, since it is able to provide the body enough food.

Water-powered mobile phones on the market in 2010

Samsung Electro-Mechanics has developed a battery powered water into the cells. According to blog.car-brands.co.uk auto.cars-site.co.uk used cars what we read on the Samsung, when incorporated into the cell, metal and water in the phone react, formed hydrogen. Gas flows into the cell, where he reacts with oxygen. New this so that other hydrogen cells need methanol to produce a Samsung device, only water. One micro-cell can produce three watts of power and as the Samsung is able to power the phone for previews.usa-car.co.uk used cars news.moto-used.co.uk 10 hours non-stop conversation. This with an average of four hours per day talks, hydrogen cartridge would have to be replaced every five days. Samsung engineers from laboratories are confident that they could simplify the procedure, reducing load the phone for occasional topping up the water. The first device on the market may already be there for two years.
