Catherine Dent reads "Heather Has Two Mommies"

[Dave175]

I only have one foot... ;_;

[mitzi77]

awww i love this!

[MJTRadio]

And coming home and eating two cookies... It's books like these that have led to the US's obesity people! This is tripe! Complere and utter tripe!

But at least the parents were likeable people

[CarFox6]

@MJTRadio omigod A child who eats...cookies? She's obviously going to be a fat pig when she grows up. And it's not like kids in other countries eat sweets or anything. No, no, it's just the U.S. because we're somehow different from people in other countries, who are much smarter and more sophisticated, simply because they live in Europe or Asia or Africa.

[MJTRadio]

@CarFox6 You obviously missed the irony of my statement. My comment was meant to show how ridiculous arguments against this book are by making utterly moronic arguments of my own. None of it is meant to be taken seriously

[CarFox6]

@MJTRadio I realized that when I read your other comment. Sorry, I guess I was just in the mood to bite peoples' heads off.

[MJTRadio]

This is one of the most freaking immoral pieces of literature in our society, wake up people, this is just wrong!

Your favorite number is not allowed to be two! It brings you to the delusion that all the world is equal, and sorry kids, it isn't! Two is a horrible number!

This book is clearly pushing an overuse of workforce. One of the parents could just as easily be stay-at-home, but no, this disgustedly forces the working world upon us.

Cats and dogs living together? PANDEMONIUM!

[CantHoldDownLeeFan13]

As a child I never saw a problem with 2 mothers or 2 fathers taking care of a child. Especially if the child had the alternative to rotting in an orphanage without anyone adopting them. Can anyone give me a legitimate reason to hate homosexuals besides including religion? Because so far the only problem I see is either what the religion says, or simply close-mindedness.

[agentlolipop001]

Awwwwww! :'D That was great!

[twittermonz]

this is sickening......... i men sure gays should be have the right to get married and "have" kids... but.... come on....... i don't think that people should be supporting homosexuality. Espescialy little kids! if you had to pick a brain disorder for your kids would you pick: ADD or being Gay, Autism or being Gay, Dyslexia or being Gay? ....... thats what i thought. Homosexuality is a brain disorder and shouldn't even exist. no one wants it so y push it on your children? God save this country.

[XxsakurakixX]

@twittermonz The only brain disorder with homosexuality is ignorant people like you. You are comparing love to a illness? You are so insensitive you just basically said,"If you have a mental illness you are gay". why hide a diffrent type of love from children? It should be honored and thanked for someone to write a story like this. No wonder children are so insecure they are around people like you who make them feel like there feelings are wrong. A diffrent lover is NOT a sin. Grow up.

[newjerseydev]

@XxsakurakixX it was listed as a pathology by the APA until political pressure forced them to drop it from their list. its hardly just love! but if i love my dog and he consent by occasionally humping my leg does that mean i should be able to marry him? or better yet write a childrens book that your kids are require d to read entitled "John and FIDO marry? seriously take ur sanctimonious nonsense somewhere else

[CarFox6]

@newjerseydev Wooooow. Are you actually equating homosexuality and bestiality? It's people like you who are going to send us back to the fucking dark ages. Maybe instead of being sanctimonious (see, I can use big words too, but I know how to use them correctly), you could realize that people like you are ruining the life of REAL CHILDREN. There are kids who kill themselves because they are made to feel ashamed of who they are or who their parents are, and you would sit back and cheer them on.

[twittermonz]

@XxsakurakixX well im not talking about love im talking about the brain. If you have an attraction to the same sex then that is a hormone problem because if it wasn't then you should like the girls/boys or you should be a girl/boy. do you hear what im saying? im not talking about love but about mentel health 

[XxsakurakixX]

@twittermonz Really? Are you sure because I know many many many people who decided who they want to love. Why don't you stop claiming it to be a illness and just accept people and love everyone? I don't see how homosexuality is a mental problem I really really don't. I see more homosexual couples work out then straight. What if I said being straight was a mental illness?

[twittermonz]

@XxsakurakixX for the #3 time im not talking about love.

[CarFox6]

@twittermonz Buuuullshiiiiit. There might very well be a medical explanation for homosexuality, and there probably is, but it's not a problem. They're not crazy, and they're not sick.

[marksoutof10]

@twittermonz Fuck you, you fucking ignorant cunt.

[twittermonz]

@marksoutof10 well im not talking about love im talking about the brain. If you have an attraction to the same sex then that is a hormone problem because if it wasn't then you should like the girls/boys or you should be a girl/boy. do you hear what im saying? im not talking about love but about mentel health

[newjerseydev]

@twittermonz great comment.

[karkkiliininam]

So cute story-telling style :D

[sillygrl23]

I kinda like how the author can laugh along with the people in the audience, when she reads this to them, you can't get away with even reading this as a practical joke in schools anymore.

[tehAdmrl]

This is such a sweet book.

[sonicfreak243]

You know,I will do anything to extinct the white race ANYTHING even if that means destroying the human race.

[justfightfucker]

i want to read this to my class but i'm afriad of getting fired!

[himynameishelen]

@justfightfucker Do it! If you're worried, send out a letter to parents saying that you want to read a tolerance-promoting book to your class, but that it's a book which has experienced a lot of contention, and say that if the parents don't want their children to hear it they can send back the permission slip and the kids who WON'T be hearing the story can be taken outside the classroom. Kids don't want to be excluded, so doing that way, means parents on the fence are more likely to agree.

[rejectedmuppet77]

wth?

[Hairii3]

i'm glad that someone wrote a book that shows that you can be raised by homosexual parents and still turn out perfectly normal.

[newjerseydev]

@Hairii3 maybe so but why do you need to ram it down our childrens throats? Live your life, raise your kids well, love one another but please DO NOT tell us what we need to teach our kids. stop trying to reprogram how we think. Thats called propaganda. The nazis pushed it on their children as well.

[Hairii3]

@newjerseydev i know, but it's ok to let our children know it's out there. we need to teach people to be more tolerant of others. i don't care how they live their lives or what they tell people as long as it doesn't get anybody hurt or killed.

[newjerseydev]

@Hairii3 it migth be ok for u and your children but if i decide it is not okay for me and my children then shouldnt i ahve that right? i see ur logic but its skewed bc u are imposing what u believe on me. to each their own. but on e u start using propaganda with 4 yr olds uve got serious societal problems. whether its flag waving, god in schools, hoosexuality from the left or right its violates my rights as a free thinking citizen

[XxsakurakixX]

@newjerseydev God forbid you have children if you can not do something as simple as type out, "'You" or spell words correctly. It does not matter if you agree about this or not because no one is saying your child has to read this. You need to be accepting that it is out there and there are 100's of children out in the world with two same sex parents who feel ashamed or sad because many people say it is wrong. Do you think interacial love is wrong?

[newjerseydev]

@XxsakurakixX i dont see why i need to type out you when u will suffice.its god damn you tube. so bc i decide i want to use contractions and txt type i shouldnt be allowed 2 have kids? but u fuckers should be able to force your hateful drivel down our childrens throats?get the fuck lost and bother someone who cares

[XxsakurakixX]

@newjerseydev Well obviously you care to respond then to post again on the same account. I never said you could not have kids but your ignorance and ability to not handle a simple spell check sure does worry me. People raise there kids differently and you know you have no right to say this book is wrong because some children out there may want to know about homosexuality or why a class mate has two dad's What if I told you Black/White people can not marry Can you recall that time?

[newjerseydev]

@XxsakurakixX i opt to type as fast as possible bc chatting with fascist homosexuals and their supprters is a waste of time =as is editing.but b4 u condemn others for shoddy spelling which in my case comes down to a lack of desire to edit...loook AT YOURSELF!! "there children"? or their? thats not a typo rather plain ol' good ol' fashion american stupidity. now unless ur willign to accpet that parents should have the right to teach their THEIR kids in the manner they see fit i bid u adieu

[XxsakurakixX]

@newjerseydev One grammatical error doesn't even hold a candle to the shit storm of errors you made in that post. I could not even understand a mother fucking word you said. It seems like you need to slam a cold drink and chill your tits. The only stupidity is whoever it is behind the youtube account 'Newjerseydev'.

[newjerseydev]

@XxsakurakixX i rant. youre just stupid. "there" and "their" have different meanings. at least u learned somehting. now get lost

[XxsakurakixX]

@newjerseydev Dude...'U' and 'You' are different as well. Not to mention..capitalization is good as well. I think you are the one who needs to get lost. Maybe you can take your 'wisdom' some where else.

[newjerseydev]

@XxsakurakixX as i said i will use whatever method i want to shorten my commnts n save time.i have no issues with YOU atl all. i just want the right to have my own opinion-sadly fascist homosexuals wont allow that

[newjerseydev]

somewhere is one word. b4 u give out lessons make sure u know how to write urself ;) But seriously i have no issues with u at all. just let me believe inw hat i want to. whats so hard about that?

[agentlolipop001]

@XxsakurakixX I can't believe that guy who was lashing out at you... o_o To think people like that would come stir trouble on a video of the reading of a children's book... ^^''

[XxsakurakixX]

@newjerseydev Also, you not giving a shit about what I say is funny. You keep replying to me so obviously you do care..oh I am so honored!

[CarFox6]

@newjerseydev Holy shit! A grammatical error? Those damn Americans! They're obviously the only ones on the entire fucking planet who don't know the proper rules of English. You know, I've never seen a British or Australian person make a SINGLE grammatical error before. I guess they just have different genes than the rest of us because, you know, a person's intelligence is decided by the country he/she was born in. Obviously.

[marksoutof10]

@newjerseydev Oh for fuck's sake, if you want to try to look clever when making arguments, at least learn to write words correctly. You're not sending a fucking text message, you fucking lazy cunt. It's "your", not "ur". Is typing two extra letters really too much fucking effort?

[newjerseydev]

@marksoutof10 yes it is when ur arguing with a fucking lesbian and u cant be fucking bothered.now f off....shit i mean FUCK OFF

[newjerseydev]

@marksoutof10 actually i checked and it was bc i ran out of room but regardless if i want to use ur instead of your its my RIGHT> just like it should be my right to teach my children in the manner i see fit.I fi decide that its inappropriate to force feed my 5 yr old what amounts to fag propaganda at age 5 i shouldhave that right. i am entitled to my beliefs as u are yours. now get the fuck lost.

[CarFox6]

@newjerseydev Thanks for producing more intolerant douche bags. That's EXACTLY what we need right now. Sorry, but homosexuals aren't just going to go away because you want them to. This is the twenty first century, and I guarantee you that your precious little brats will have heard a lot worse things than how Heather has two mommies by the time they're eleven.

[himynameishelen]

@newjerseydev Yes, but the Nazis were saying other people were less-worthy, and killing entire races, stealing children from their mother's arms in order to gas them and then burn their bodies, whilst their siblings and parents laboured until they died from it. Gay parents just want their children to be happy and healthy and worry about whether they remembered to buy milk or not. I don't think you can really compare the two.

Also, inciting Godwin's law means you automatically lose.

[newjerseydev]

@himynameishelen like this nazi propaganda was deliberate indoctrination w- their own brand of politcal correctness. indoctrination of children with an agenda, and thats what it is is simply immoral & violates parental rights. the AMA and APA (med and psych) associations referred to homosexuality as an il;ness less than 30 years ago. now its being pushed on kids.i dont have any problems with gay people but please do not tell me my kids have to be forcefed info that contradicts what i believe in

[himynameishelen]

@newjerseydev And 50 years ago it was illegal to marry someone outside of your race- it's not true now, so by saying that 30 years ago homosexuality was an illness you're citing an irrelevant arguement. What's wrong with this book? It's simply telling children it's ok to have a family that's different. Gay couples who want to adopt only want to love and care for children; what's wrong with that, I ask you? How is it "indoctrination" to teach kids about other ways of life that will always exist?

[newjerseydev]

@himynameishelen apples and oranges. race and sexual preference are totally different.besides sex is something that should be introduced at an appropriate age. its not just heather has two mommies thats the problem. sex is being discussed at too early of an age in the us. in europe where i live i think we're relatively progrssve theres not one place in the EU that would allow this in schools. we know where to to draw the line between tolerance and lunacy!

[newjerseydev]

@himynameishelen and by stating twas a dysfunction 30 yrs ago im making a simple point., not one study has been shown that should ahve changed that view. propaganda and info from the PC brigade has forced popular opinion to change scientific opinion. a black woman marrying a white man has never been seen as an illness. it may have ben taboo but it most certainly has never been seen as an affliction.besides i dont think theres diversty training that mandates childrens books covering htis topic

[MissTotos]

@Hairii3 Actually studies say children of homosexual parents turn out better than normal.

[Hairii3]

@MissTotos really? wow.

[SangoGirlKate]

@MissTotos Not necessarily better, but more tolerant.

[newjerseydev]

@MissTotos the fact that u would even introduce that argument which contradicts how we are designed tells me u have an agenda. studies show the opposite, homoesxual relationships especially lesbian relationships have a higher form of domestic violence than all others. read the facts if u want to cite studies

[ohgoodjoy]

I like the idea of showing kids that homosexuals aren't going to initiate the apocalypse.

[Hairii3]

@ohgoodjoy i agree.

[paul7from7ukr]

this is sad and pathetic

[LifeDuzntGivMeLemons]

was she reading to kids and adults?

[i1234t1234]

one could assume the parents are there to watch the children and listen to the story. Adults can enjoy a little kids story too.

[angryraccoon]

:3 this is a really nice book

[johnd94]

I hate faggots.

[angryraccoon]

Nobody loves you either, honey. <3

[johnd94]

That's not true. My mommy loves me. and my daddy. Unlike your two daddies, you faggot.

[i1234t1234]

fuck you.

[johnd94]

I love fucking the tight little assholes of little boys.

[i1234t1234]

you think its all funny to talk like that and to make fun of gay people just because we like the same gender and its because of people like you that started slavery and segregation and the Holocaust you contribute nothing to society with you beliefs of hate yet you fool yourself into think that your some how right but you not. Your a sad pathetic person and your way of thinking is outdated and wrong.

[johnd94]

I like sodomizing children and killing niggers.

[i1234t1234]

yeah thats right flaunt your stupidity and ignorance show the world what incest and a meth addicted whore does to a baby

[johnd94]

I think you meant to say: "Yeah, that's right. Flaunt your stupidity and ignorance. Show the world what incest and a meth addicted whore does to a baby." Don't worry though, those mistakes were quite mundane. However, it was rather rude of you to insult my mother when she had nothing to do with my overtly fatuous trolling. Have a nice life. I hope in the future you don't find it necessary to defend your honor against internet strangers who seek attention and self gratifying shock humor. NIGGERS!

[i1234t1234]

The manner in which you chose to seek humor if you can even call it that at all was not only inappropriate and poorly executed in way that was so unfunny and ugly that it could not be taken as anything other then they hatefull thinking of a ignorant person. My honor was not at stake here however the honor of children that have been raped and were abused was and you should be ashamed of yourself As for insulting your mother that seemed to be the only thing that snapped you from your spew of filth

[johnd94]

1) My humor amuses me. Just as beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, comedy lies in the ears of the listener. If I have been amused, then your argument is moot.

2) I am not ashamed of myself, so que sera, sera!

3) I honestly don't give two shits about you insulting my mother. My mother is named Jenny, just like in Forrest Gump. ISN't THAT NEAT!?!!??!?!?!?!

4) I LOVE NIGGER CUNT!!! I LOVE SNIFFING FAGGGOT SHIT!!! LA LA LA LA LA. GIMME GIMME GIMME ATTENTION!!! I LOVE FUCKING SQUIRRELSS!!!!!

[i1234t1234]

there was no humor involved you started with a statement, no build up no opening no indication that you just wanted to amuse yourself.If this is how you amuse yourself i feel bad for you cause its pathetic.You should be ashamed.The humor that you tried to mimic was done poorly and would only draw the support of racists and other ignorant people. I dont care about your mothers name, i didnt like Forrest Gump. If you want attention then find some other way to do it and in a more positive way.

[johnd94]

"There was no humor involved" = your opinion. "...it's pathetic" = your opinion. "You should be ashamed" = your opinion. "the humor that you tried to was done poorly" = your opinion. "I don't care about your mothers name, I didn't like Forrest Gump"= You want a chocolate? "If you want attention then find some other way to do it and in a more positive way" = NIGGERS!.

In summation, I don't give two faggots' frozen testicles about your opinion, Forrest Gump RULES, and most of all, NIGGERS!!!!!!!

[i1234t1234]

No not opinion fact most people dont realize that there is a set up that goes with comedy a actual formula. You had no set up just a statement that lead no one to believe that there was comedic intention. Anyone would agree that your attempt was done poorly. As far as you not caring about my opinion you should really take what i say under evaluation because eventually you WILL have to grow up and start acting like a adult or you WILL run into someone that will do more then just bitch at you.

[johnd94]

I don't give two faggots' frozen testicles what other people decide is funny. I am amused by it, and that is all I wish to achieve. If you think I act like this in public, then you are fucking retarded. Have you any concept of an internet troll? Because that is what I am. NIGGERS! DYKES! FAGGOTS! KIKES!

[i1234t1234]

Thats not the point it doesn't justify your actions or the fact you offend people. Im amused when people get hurt but i dont push people down the stairs anymore just to see what will happens. Im not retarded you clearly are to a degree but your karmic debt will catch up to you sooner or later in this life or the next my only wish is that i can see it when it happens and if by the grace of the gods i am i hope there will be blood or tears.

[johnd94]

I don't care if I offend people, that is the point of my humor. Karma isn't real, neither is god, so nothing bad will happen to me as a result of trolling on youtube. If you think something bad would happen because of this, then you ARE retarded. NIGGERS! DYKES! FAGGOTS! KIKES!

[i1234t1234]

ohohoho big smart Atheist eh? Got all the mysteries of life figured out and disproved all the gods that have ever been. Im not retarded because i have a faith YOUR retarded for giving up.

[johnd94]

It's not my responsiblity to disprove god, it's your responsibility to prove it. And no, I don't have all the mysteries of life figured out. And yes, you ARE retarded for having faith. Belief of something in the absence of evidence is stupid. Believing in god is like believing in unicorns.

[i1234t1234]

Its as much my responsibility to prove it as is for you to disprove it. If you dont have these mysteries then how can you disprove the gods. If you cant disprove it then you cant call me retarded for having faith. Thats also why they call it FAITH because were not sure that were right but we put our FAITH that there is. I may be right i may be wrong if im wrong oh well i rot in the ground ill go to Hell whatever my end will be. Just cause you lost faith doesn't mean you can belittle mine

[johnd94]

No, it IS NOT my responsibility to disprove a positive claim. It is your respsonsiblility to prove your positive claim. That is how knowledge works. You don't have to disprove fairies to not believe in them. The reason we don't believe in fairies is because there is no evidence for them. The same is true for god. I don't need to have everything about our existence figured out to not believe in something for which there is no evidence. Faith is IRRATIONAL, it is belief in the absence of evidence.

[i1234t1234]

And im telling you that its because of this lack of evidence that makes it a faith that makes it a belief. And yes it is your responsibility to disprove the gods because until i see solid and i mean solid proof that there is no divine force that there are no Gods or Goddesses i will continue to believe in them. What is irrational that people are so insecure that they cant put faith into something like that and hide behind science and a lack of evidence to justify it.

[johnd94]

Do you believe in fairies? If you do not, then why not? Let it be known that the existence of fairies has NEVER been disproven. You clearly have no idea what rational/irrational means, as it means "based on reason, science or evidence". There is no evidence to support the existence of god, just like there is no evidence to support the existence of fairies. If there is no evidence for something, then there is no reason to believe in it.

[i1234t1234]

But i do believe in the fey. I believe in them just as i believe in the Goddess and the Horned God. My proof that they exist is that the world exists that anything exists. The every morning the sun rises with the God and falls as the Goddess takes over the night. I have the evidence i need to believe in the Gods of Old you gave up on your faith what ever it was and i feel bad for you because of that but a lack of evidence does not mean a lack of existence.

[johnd94]

Are you telling me that you believe in fairies??? What evidence do you have to support their, or god's existence?

[i1234t1234]

I gave you my proof of my God and Goddesses My existans the Earths existants all that is was and will be is evidence that they are real and if not the gods i follow then some divine force but then again i may be wrong i will accept that when it becomes truly apparent as for the fey i can feel there presence in the fields in the forests in houses in schools ready to help to harm or to have fun depending on how you treat them. That is my proof and i stand by it.

[johnd94]

1) Could you please write intelligibly? You know, by using proper spelling and punctuation? It is hard to decipher a bunch of run on sentances

2) Just because the earth exists, that's not evidence that god does too. If it is, then you must prove a link between the two, not just asserting that it is so.

3) How do you know that you are feeling fairies? I live by wooded areas myself, and I have never felt any such presence. If they exist objectivly, then there should be tangible evidence of them

[i1234t1234]

No i will write as i feel comfortable if that means run ons then sucks to be you. The earth is proof for me as my Goddess is a EARTH goddess so for me the Earth is in a way physical manifestation of my goddess just as the sun's a manifestation of my god. And as for the fey they cant really be anything else i concentrate and i feel them you dont feel them cause you dont want to you dont believe you dont want to believe why would you be able to feel them. Thats just obvious.

[johnd94]

You are just defining something into existence. That is like me saying "I believe in a magical pink armadillo god, and because armadillos exist, then that is evidence for my god because I have defined my god as an armadillo". I have no problem with believing in fairies. Quite honestly, i think the world would be more interesting if they did exist. However, there is NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THEM, so I don't believe in them. If they truly exist, they should be able to be observed by non believers.

[i1234t1234]

Lack of evidence is not a lack of existence. If you want to believe in a Armadillo god thats fine with me and if you want to justify it by the existence of armadillo then thats fine. The fact that anything at all exists is proof enough for me that divinity is present. If your asking for hard proof then you will never get it until you kick the bucket as humanity can not completely understand the divine and put it in a way that we could this way is not complete though.

[johnd94]

Lack of evidence is not 100% proof that something does not exist, true. However, a complete lack of evidence for something IS rational justification to not believe in it. If a man tells me that a UFO crashed in his backyard without offering any evidence to prove his claim true, then I am rationally justified in not believing him. I would NOT be rationally justified in believing him though.

Why is it that existance itself is enough proof for you that divinity is involved?

[i1234t1234]

If a man told me a UFO crashed into his backyard i would not assume it to be aliens but something that was flying that was unidentified and is a object may have crashed in his yard i would maybe go an see if i cared. The existence of the earth and sun and all that is enough for me because something had to set it all into motion. Something made the big bang, something started the process of evolution. I accredit those things to the Gods.

[johnd94]

Why do you accredit the begining of the big bang with a god? What reason do you have to assume it must be a god? The start of evolution, i.e. the first life form is in the field of abiogenesis, and there is at least one model that I know of which demonstrates how it would be possible to happen. It does not involve a god. You are simply using the god-of-the-gaps argument. You are just filling in god wherever there is a present gap in knowledge. It doesn't really explain anything.

[i1234t1234]

Because like i said before something had to set everything into motion. Even if you find the answers to those gaps in information that explains how all this came to be my answer will still be that the goddess and god set it all into motion. Believe it or not we are looking for the same answers but are merely using a method. And it wouldnt explain anything to you just as it wouldnt explain anything to a Jew a Christian a Muslim or Santeria practitioner. Everyone has there own explanation.

[johnd94]

What is wrong with saying "I don't know" when talking about the explanation? Do you care whether or not your explanations are true, or do you just want one that is comforting? I actually care if my beliefs are true, so that being the case, I use the method which has shown itself to be the best for discovering truth--the scientific method. A rational person is not justified in making a wild guess about an explanation, i.e. that gods are responsible, when they are faced with a mystery.

[i1234t1234]

As for the fey i wouldnt want to show myself to someone that didnt believe in me. They dont want me to be there then i wont be if the little girl down the street wants to know im there then fine that where ill go. They know when they are wanted and not wanted some care some dont. If you dont want to feel their presence then you just wont feel them.

[johnd94]

As for the "fey", as you call them. I DO want to feel their presence if they exist. I want to believe in as many true things, and in as little false things as I possibly can. I am waiting for them to show up. Quite honestly, that would be pretty cool if they were real. I am open to the possibility, but if they do not show themselves, I cannot bring myself to believe in them.

[i1234t1234]

No need for the quotation marks the word fey is another word for fairy hence the name Morgan Le Fey. If you want to feel there presents then you have to try and feel them. It takes time and effort i did it by accident while in a trance and it took me forever to find a method that worked for me. If you try and want to feel them then you might be able to. If you cant then they dont want you see them your methods is wrong or your just plain old not trying hard enough.

[johnd94]

As for fairies, it's very unconvincing evidence for their existence that one must essentially hypnotize themselves into feeling their presence. That's just power of suggestion. Power of suggestion is essentially just people fooling themselves. It's the reason why people who visit long winded, charlaton faith healers such as Peter Popoff claim to be healed of their ailments, when their condition hasn't changed at all in any medical sense. The human mind is very susceptible power of suggestion.

[i1234t1234]

For the power of suggestion to work one would think that a suggestion would have to be made when i go into a trance my focus is to enter a spiritual plane separate from this one to try and gain a spiritual enlightenment not to feel the fey. The fey are simply a little bonus that i found along. I myself would never rely only on a healer. I use herbs and a semi-positive attitude and they work just fine. got my threw the swine and many colds coughs fevers cuts and flu's before.

[johnd94]

Trances themselves are power of suggestion. Could I ask how you know you are in a spiritual plane, or how you knew it was fairies you met?

[i1234t1234]

Once i enter into the trance the flow of energy around me changes to something completely different its hard to explain. Like on a normal day you can feel the way energy flows around you from yourself and from the objects around you. When i go to a spiritual plain it changes completely into something different. What was there is gone and replaced with something new. As for the fey their like little distortions of energy not all exactly the same but smiler and you just kinda know its them.

Energy can be measured and observed. In the newage/spiritual world though, the word energy has been bastardized to mean emotion. If what you are feeling really is energy, then it should be able to be observed objectively, which energy of this sort never has been. And don't say that you have to believe for it it work. That is nonsense. If it really does exist, it should be able to be sensed even by those who don't believe in it. Whether or not you believe in gravity, gravity STILL DOES affect you

Im not saying that at all if some one wants to try and measure the energy then they can all they want however your making the mistake of trying to mix science and religion too much. I reject no science but you can only go so far with it in terms of spirituality. I also believe and you will find scientist that believe this too that the body give off energy field and it is altered by our emotions. And yes it is obvious that gravity affects me even in space gravity still holds some power.

1) Science explains what exists in reality. If spirituality holds any sort of basis in reality, then it should be approachable by science. If spirituality is not part of reality, then the whole concept is just fantasy.

2) Find me a scientist or a peer reviewed scientific journal which states that humans give off spiritual energy fields.

Of course we give off heat energy, but that energy is pretty miniscule and not enough to have a significant effect on anyone or anything.

[i1234t1234]

You are asking for something you will never get. you want hard proof and no one can give that too you. However no matter how many facts you spew out you can never disprove that divinity exists. If you can look around at the world and see the beauty and ugliness that surrounds you how can you say with all you confidence that it all happened by chance?How can someone see this world or any world and then say "It was all by chance show me proof otherwise" And i didnt say spiritual i just said energy

[johnd94]

Again, it's your responsibility to prove your claim true, or at least provide evidence for it, not my responsibility to disprove your baseless claim. If you're not offering evidence or a scientific explanation of your claim, then it is impossible to disprove it. Divinity doesn't need to be conclusivley disproven in order to not believe in it, it just needs a complete lack of evidence, which it does have. Vague emotional stories, gut feelings and opinions do not count as tangible evidence.

[johnd94]

As for beauty, why is it crazy to think that beauty can exist on its own? Surely a divine being is more complex and fantastic than a pretty sunset, but why is it not crazy to think that THAT can exist on its own? Why does beauty neccessitate divinity?

p.s., what we see in nature is not "by chance", they are following laws of nature such as natural selection. If there is a criterion by which they come to be, then they ARE NOT products of chance.

[i1234t1234]

What are the chances that the earth was created at the right distance from the sun that we stay warm but not fried up and at the same time have the right materials on earth allowing it to spawn life past that of metals and gases but that animals and plants and even more that the right gases would form to create a atmosphere that would support that life for millions and millions of years. I mean what stopped us from just crumbling or burning or freezing?

[shaxincat]

@i1234t1234

the chances are astronomical. but the universe is so immense that it's actually more likely for us to exist than it is for us not to. gays included, sweetheart.

[i1234t1234]

@shaxincat I guess. I mean you do have a point the larger something is the more likely a event is to occure more then once but when you think about it in compared to the size of it it seems like its not happening that much. And we have only seen such a small fragment of the universe i mean god only knows how far it actually reaches if it ever ends. You make a excelent point but you can kinda see how its hard to imagine that a life sustaining planet jus happened at random.

[LadyTigerLily]

I think that the very real situation of feeling excluded when it comes to families was handled quite tastefully. If only this happened more often in real life.

[TousVous]

That is so sweet.

[ChaosRebel6]

Yes :D

[TranCendenZ]

Is this a children's book being read to an adult audience?

[buildgod93]

Hey, adults read Harry Potter and I have no problem with it.

[ChibiSabbath]

I guess so. I think it's odd how they laugh when something read isn't actually...funny...
