2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

You're just describing human behaviour there
--- Quote from: virtuoso on January 30, 2010, 11:38:23 AM ---We are losing our ability to interact with our surroundings and one another, in the overall scheme of things.
--- End quote ---
On the other side this does mean that people become independent.
Not having to rely on your surroundings as much to survive is actually a step forward.
--- Quote from: Shallow on January 31, 2010, 09:01:06 AM ---Nope. I like being able to take off and not be reached by anyone. If I'm not home then I'm in the neighborhood. If I'm not there then don't bother looking, I'll get in touch with you when I get home. I like to disappear when ever I want to. Just as I show up unannounced I leave unannounced. If I'm hanging out at a friends house and I get bored I just get up like I'm going to the washroom and leave completely. I've been called Batman a few times because of that.

QuietTruth:
Yes, exactly, behavior. Behavior is what's capable to turn humankind into a wrong direction. We ain't meant to live inward, period. And the effects ain't gonna be positive. Like the niggas done stated, it's consumerism which coincides wit ego.
You gotta be very full of yourself to have to tell the world everythang you do in a day, at every moment. Keep shit personal. But it's attention. That's being a lover of your own self.
Myspaces, etc., all that shit is losing touch with reality. We human. Not machine.

The Bible is an interpretation of Humanity's situation. However, the Bible is not all that there is...
People have been in so many various different situations throughout history affording it a diverse, rich interpretation of Humanity's existence on the Earth.
Infact, humanity through its history developed many other interpretations of Humankind's situation upon this Earth. This Garden of Eden, the Blue Jewel in Black Space, and even that part of Space simply but a 'space' in the vast immensity of the Universe...

And it's also an interpretation of Humanity's fate.
Who else has an interpretation Humankind's fate? Nostradamus? That's it, besides The Holy Books, word?
--- End quote ---
It does say things that readers of the Bible often interpret as the fate of humanity. I don't think that is it all though, most religions, beliefs of people worldwide and throughout history, even science, has something to say about humanity and it's possible fates and fortunes. It would be nice to have a set of books, a silver bullet of understanding if you will; that is the end all and know all of everything, however the reality is the Holy Books do not hold an exclusive monopoly on truth and understanding. My own approach is to explore a variety of perspectives..not confine oneself to just the Bible, or just the Koran, or just the Talmud, etc
...the barriers of of art are not closed,
no artist being in possession of the perfection to which he should aspire...

Thats all cool...if you dont have any major responsibilities (a kid, etc). Even though, Ive heard homeless people jusitify their situation with the same reasoning lol.

Parents raised their children just fine with out cellphones or pagers for centuries. I'll never need one. I obviously will not pick up and leave at any moment when someone is counting on me. I'm talking about doing so in tedious gatherings and shit like that.
Oh, and another thing about me, and my family, we never lock our doors while we're home and awake. It was pretty common here when I was younger, but in recent years people hear that and think I'm nuts.
