Your all taking about happyness and how material stuff will all pass away... but then whats the point in life? To walk around the desert meditating?

[franciscanfriars]

No, but rather to know, love and serve our Lord and Creator so that we can be happy with Him for all eternity. Material things are useful. However, contrary to what TV ads say, we don't need even half the things that we 'gotta have'. Possession of material things can not become our hope for happiness. They will not make us happy and the inordinate pursuit of them will distract us from true source of happiness, God. It is a matter of balance.

Ave Maria!

But we have eternity with God in heaven, so why waste time (sorry i didnt know how else to say it) in praying to him and going to church during our short lives?

[franciscanfriars]

No problem with the questions. The key point is that eternity with God is not guaranteed at all. We must live a good life, the foundation of which is our time and effort spent fostering our love for God. Material pursuits are a distraction from this and so can lead to the most incalculable loss. God Bless

Wow! I'm so pleased to see the Fransiscans getting techno in the battle against the Culture of Death. Keep it coming Fathers...we love you guys!

The idolatry of money and material things in contemporary culture - in the name of maximizing 'pleasure' (vs. happiness) - will perhaps bring about its collapse.

I wouldn't typically waste time pondering such an intellectual waste, but many of my friends have bought this hook line and sinker. It's appalling witnessing this farce of science and philosophy. I looked into the so called physicist that contributed to the secret's "Quantum" basis. He was a physicist that tried to unify physics using a technique (SO(5) groups) that was found insufficient nearly a decade prior to the date of his paper's publication. Positive thought is great, greed sucks.

"The Secret" is just a secular attempt to substitute the wisdom of the Church with the feel good rhetoric of today's secular standards.

Look at Proverbs (for example) and you can find many inspiring examples, which apply to many aspects of our lives. I've compared "The Secret" to the book of Proverbs and found the latter to be superior in terms of truth and relevance.

@Pentdad Yes that is the point of life

Perhaps the Egyptians were trying to force and create something that they had the picture of, but without all the pieces? I see your comment was eight months ago, so hopefully by mow you have learned about Jordan Maxwell and his infatuation with Helea Blavitsky. "To all who believe in Jesus, watch Zeitgeist" is not a very compelling argument. I have seen it and upon trying to verify it's claims about Jesus, I have found many errors. Why are people SO angry with Jesus?

[uuamenator]

I'm an atheist, but i have to agree with this dude. That movie's ideas are just laughable and they're just trying to make money :D

It doesn't mean that positive thinking is bad tho... self-defeating thinking causes anxiety and all other crap you don't want.

[bookstar77]

"Zeitgeist" is a fraud. There are videos that prove that this claim about Christianity is a sham. Just another gimmick by either atheists or occultists to get people to join them.

So screw "Zeitgeist".

[Marius752]

To all who believe in Jesus, watch zeitgeist, there is true evidence that Christianity is a parody of Egyptian religion. and this man in video, sad how much money costs this or that dvd, but how much money church gets from its believers? tax free income :) the all mighty god just needs money... he just can't handle money...

I'll put it this way. One of the best days of my life was when i threw away my tv. I've never been happier. If you want a really good perspective on happiness, i would suggest reading Aristotle's Ethics. He explains what role material things play in our happiness. feel free to message me, i would love to talk about it. God Bless
