What book are you currently reading?I didn't even know that there was a film 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. I'll certainly try to get hold of it. Thank you for mentioning that Fruitcake13.ViewDate:

What book are you currently reading?When I read something I like to lose myself in the story, something that wont't let me put the book (or kindle) down. Some of the books I have been reading and enjoyed immensely are: The Hunger Games Trilogy, Me before You, To Kill a Mockingbird and my all time favourite The Fallen book series by Lauren Kate. I can't wait for the film to come out this year (I am still a teenager at heart).ViewDate:

My Personal DifficultiesHi Penn, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but why did you leave it so late to have corrective surgery? If I forget to come back on the 22nd - hope you'll have a very nice birthday.ViewDate:

Lack of interest?It was nice to read your opinions Jean, if you don't want to discuss them anymore. Hopefully we'll meet on another topic! Regarding the three (un)-wise monkeys maybe one will put it's hands over it's eyes, the other one will put it's hands over it's ears and the third one will put it's hands over it's mouth.ViewDate:

Lack of interest?Hi jeanmark and thank you for the welcome. I will respond to you first. Of course you don't have to have a religious belief to teach your children lessons in life. I was merely making a comparison between God, as our father, and ourselves how we teach our children. You are right there are many religions but there is only one God, Hi Laura (didn't think you were a real witch). I thought you might not like the simplistic comparison. Because God doesn't intervene at the moment does that really mean that he doesn't exist? Following is one of of Albert Einstein's quotes , who definitely wasn't a 'religious freak': “The more I study science, the more I believe in God.” On the subject of the 10 commandments - they were written for our protection I'm sure. What happens when you covet (or want) something you can't have? The green-eyed monster takes over and gone is the peacefulness that we might have felt. Therefore - no - I don't think that the commandments are disappointing. P.S. since you've introduced yourself I'll return the favour - my name is GiselaViewDate:

Lack of interest?Hi celtwitch, thank you for the welcome. I was very (but pleasantly) surprised to receive such a quick reply. Let me answer your raised points how I see it: 1 You are a funny guy! To be honest I can't remember how I started believing. Maybe it was 'built in' before I was born? (See, I can be funny as well) 2 I understand were you're coming from, it is very hard to comprehend why God lets these things happen. This might sound very simplistic and naive to you, but when you've had your children didn't you let them do something that wasn't good for them to teach them a lesson they wouldn't have learned otherwise and that profited them in the end? The world is getting worse (you've only pointed out a couple of things) and I believe that the time will come when God WILL intervene and everyone will understand that we can't live in total peace and happiness without him.ViewDate:

Lack of interest?Hi, I'm a newbie here and found this discussion very interesting. celtwitch you call religious people 'brainwashed'. I never had a religious upbringing but always believed in God. No matter what life throws at me or what happens in this world I never blame God for it. Humans are the ones that make choices for good or evil. By the way I don't believe in organized religion.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi everybody! I've recently joined Silversurfers and at first I was just reading some posts. But I've decided to take a jump in to the deep end and introduce myself. I am German born but lived the majority of my life in England. My husband passed away last year and even though I am talking to my children every day and get a visit of my son at least once a week I feel a little bit lost. Working part-time helps and I intend to carry on doing this after I retire. Among other things I like to learn new things, travel, animals (even though I haven't got any pets), reading and surfing the internet (mainly to kill time). Hopefully I will find like minded people to chat to.
