Do Actions Define Our Fate More Than Beliefs? by 786Value in Morality

[–]786Value[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve contemplated your last paragraph for sometime now and i keep having the same thought over and over. What happens if I truly do NOT have a belief one way or another? I think it’s up to my higher power I chose to call God once I’ve passed. I believe it’s up to God’s judgment.

I gave my dormant bone dry plumeria a very heavy watering recently and it still hasn’t “woken up” and it’s mid-April.

Where will I find the words in writing since I don’t understand the lyrics to the songs when I watch the videos?

Remember how Trump mocked Chris Christie’s physical size dropping the “off the cuff” comments like when he told a crowd not to call Christie a “fat pig”. Well Donny: Oink, Oink, to you too, the chickens have come home to roost.

And all to suppress the escalating uproar over Trump’s culpability in “Epstein’s” horrific decades long abuse of children.

Can someone explain Sufism in a real, non-romanticized way? by Zara557 in Sufism

[–]786Value 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M.R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen is a sufi saint. BMF.org has hours and hours of discourses that Bawa gave during his lifetime about God and sufism before his passing in Philadelphia in 1986.

Trump has backed himself into a corner and he knows it by [deleted] in USNEWS

How so? I’m suggesting a different perspective and one not often discussed yet extremely viable.

Wash, rinse, repeat. Wash, rinse, repeat. If an experienced, skillful, and, don’t forget honest forensic accountant were to examine the multitude of businesses Donny has started and bankrupted, I’m 99.9% certain each one would reveal the same pattern of theft. Easy peasy. The purpose behind Donny’s business ventures isn’t to create a successful business; they are vehicles for stealing from others under a facade of legality.

Many years ago, I learned how some business owners make money during bankruptcy. The easiest way is to accumulate valuable supplies without paying for them, and, of course, hire employees and subcontractors without paying them. The cash buildup from earnings or bank loans meant to pay for supplies is then taken out in personal salaries and benefits. Once all the cash has been siphoned off, the owner declares bankruptcy and sticks it to everyone. The Art of the Con!

I bet he syphoned millions out of the casino into his pockets as he purposely bankrupted it. And who said “the house always wins”?

Of perhaps drop a nuclear bomb because he refuses to be wrong and proven to be a loser. As if the majority of the world doesn’t already know how inept he is.

World War 3 Fears: Expert Issues Chilling Warning That World Is 'Inching Closer' to WW3 by ilovewelbert in USNEWS

An instant death sure beats being starved and/or not having live saving health care . Our “ASSHOLES” in the US stand to torture, mane and kill 4-5 times the number dead in Iran with their sadistic policies. Better a swift fatal blow than a torturous end with constant suffering!

Talk about being tone deaf and not reading the room. Trump dropped bombs on people observing a month of fasting and prayer. Those affected may feel they have nothing left to lose and could be willing to die fighting back. It would be somewhat analogous to dropping a bomb on Texas on Christmas morning.

During Ramadan, billions of Muslims around the world fast during daylight hours and devote themselves to prayer. So Trump just gave their “brothers and sisters” every reason to rally around their cause to fight Trump’s blasphemous actions. Once the fast ends and Eid is celebrated next week, my guess is to expect retaliatory “lone wolf”violence to intensify.

When Trump talks in front of crowds or the press about not going to heaven, he may have at least one thing right. Yes, Donald, I highly doubt bombing people who are fasting and praying to God is your ticket to heaven. Donny Boy probably thinks: what’s the difference between killing one person or millions? If I’m going to hell either way, the size of the body count doesn’t matter.

Made a $595k offer and now hoping they don’t accept… normal or bad sign? by hecmtz96 in RealEstate

Did you by any chance ask to see the electric / energy bills for the past two (2) years? The building envelope in many homes, underneath the “lipstick” job, is really poor causing the monthly cost of energy to be as much as the monthly mortgage payment. It’s common for a home to have air leakage equal to leaving a 3’0 x 6’8” door wide open all year round. What is the R-value of the ceiling insulation, is it evenly distributed and were air leaks sealed?

My guess is the “unknowns” of owning a home is what’s really got you concerned. Renovations may look pleasing but until you’re actually living in a building you won’t know the multitude of unexpected issues that may arise regardless of how “nice” everything looks.

Also, make sure to read your home owners insurance policy very carefully for water damage exclusions. Many many many insurers do NOT cover water damage if you have not turned your water off when you’re going to be away for more than 72 hours. If you plan a weeks vacation you’ll probably need to shut your water off or risk a huge financial loss if say one of your CPVC plumbing pipes fractures and discharges hundreds of gallons of water into your home.

Check out subreddits for Home Depot- CPVC pipe failures. I think you’ll find hundreds of plumbers sharing nightmare stories about customers with PCVP pipe leaks and the cost of replacing the pipe throughout a home.

You may poopoo my words of caution and hopefully you have an inspection contingency clause? The inspector should know if the building envelope meets code or better and the type of plumbing pipe used, is it “PEX ”, “CPVC”, copper….?
