The best positive thought, think of a number > 0, for it is mathematically sound.
And then negative thoughts are < 0...
So what does that make 0?
I'm so confused...

Ok I know I'm probably gonna regret this but I can't help myself when I see this sorta thing...
If god existed, and was as good and kind as people seem to believe...then why would he allow things like war and murder, rape etc. ?
I mean think about it...if he is all powerful...created the universe...made a virgin pregnant...had a son that could walk on water...had all these godlike powers...then why would he allow horrible things to happen, if he CAN even prevent them that is?
The only conclusions I can come up with are either
1)He does not exist
2)He does exist, but does not give a rats *** about anything that goes on(In my book, he then really doesn't deserve the praise people give him
There...sorry, but I had to. Just let me have my opinion! =P If you decide to believe in it thats fine with me, just sayin I don't.
Oh...and when I need to feel better I just play some solitaire or something...all forgotten about after that.

Just reread first post please. I DO NOT want a religious debate here. Read Kant. Read Descartes. No need to argue about religious belief. Thanks.
The point of this topic is to think of what makes you happy in life, what gives you strengh.
