Yes, and what's fascinating and disturbing is that studies have shown these particular backgrounds (lack of cuddling, nurturing, moving) are involved with criminal behavior. Including pedophilia, and other types of criminal behavior. Upon examination of their brains, their brain appearance is not the regular, whatever regular is.Of course.

I was just looking up a book about that from the library. One book is "The Anatomy of Violence, Biological Roots of Crime." But another which I expect to take out was written before that and speaks of the criminal mentality starting from a young age and the absolute rehabilitation necessary. I believe it is possible for those desiring to please God to change, with much prayer and effort.Hmmm.

You would think that someone who claims to be Christian would believe the Bible.research has shown that upbringing also plays a huge role in one's perception.
For one thing among others, He is the sovereign of the universe and gives life.Why would you want to please God if He is separate from you?
Does he switch off the life support system of all living beings once He is fed up of what He sees, or does that happen naturally?For one thing among others, He is the sovereign of the universe and gives life.
That is to me an interesting question. So in order for me to answer this as capably as possible (for me), I would have to go back to the life given to Adam and Eve. They could have continued living, but God removed the ability for them to do so when they proved to be disobedient. He told them in the Genesis account that if they ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they would die. They decided to eat from it. But He is the source of life.Does he switch off the life support system of all living beings once He is fed up of what He sees, or does that happen naturally?

Yes, it gives cause to think it over...Hmmm.
Now I reread the account. The death penalty was imposed on them. But now, here is the question. If they continued to listen to the Creator without rebelling against him, do you think they would have contracted disease or have a deadly accident?Yes, it gives cause to think it over...
Yes, I have been eating from the tree of knowledge all my life and still eating.Yes, it gives cause to think it over...

Why?Hmmm. It is a frightening thought.
Are you not assuming that the Creator will punish loss of faith in Him/It?Why?
If you refuse to eat, is it punishment when you starve?Are you not assuming that the Creator will punish loss of faith in Him/It?
The best way to find out is to become God oneself and see what you should or should not eat.If you refuse to eat, is it punishment when you starve?
Borrowing from one of our more erudite members: hmmmm...The best way to find out is to become God oneself and see what you should or should not eat.
