What I Believe ~ PGA

(Language, God, Love, Believing & Knowing)

• The language that we use cannot describe accurately what we’re trying to say.

• The language that we use cannot describe accurately the meaning of God.

• The language that we use cannot describe accurately the meaning of Love.

• What you say may not be what you mean.

• Everyone has the right to what they believe.

• Everyone has rights; as long as it does not interfere with the rights of others.

• Believing is NOT the same as Knowing.

• Believing something to be true does NOT need proof – knowing, does.

• KNOWING something to be true NEEDS proof.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I use to believe that ‘KNOWING something to be true NEEDS proof’. Now I’m not so sure.

However, there are a number of people who seem to make popular the notion that KNOWING is a higher form of belief. It’s like they’re saying they believe in something one-hundred-percent.

This brings me to my first point that ‘The language that we use cannot describe accurately what we’re trying to say’,

And to my last point that ‘KNOWING something to be true NEEDS proof’

Talk about having the first and last say… I like that.

I guess I still believe that ‘KNOWING something to be true NEEDS proof’... BUT it's always better to know what the other person is trying to say... because ‘The language that we use cannot describe accurately what we’re trying to say’.

A Priest, However Simple He May Be...

===.

===.
Seen on Sunday before Tuesday, 2010 Feb 23.
This is the year for priesthood. This banner on the
left-side of the altar (from a parishioner's seat)
of St Joseph's Church (Bukit Timah, Singapore).

Mary, our blessed mother, great as she is, and 

even 2000 angels, can they forgive us our sins?

...No, but a priest, however simple he may be, CAN! 

Pray for our priest, pray for priesthood.

LUCK

.

Why am I so UN-Lucky? The answer is -- it's because you depend on luck. The odds of getting a 6 from a roll of a dice is 1 out-of 6. You can improve the odds by placing it rather than rolling the dice. Now, that would be cheating and it's not right in a game that does not allow this. But some games allow you to "cheat". Especially when answers are given or when methods are taught way before a test. Do you depend on luck by not studying?

Oh by-the-way, I've decided to use 'Dice' instead of 'Die' because -- 'Dice' is an alternative singular of 'Die' when the plural is 'Dice' -- this is clearer and causes less confusion.

Casino Quotes

Why gamble in a casino when you can own one?
It is better to own a casino then to gamble in one.
How can a casino lose with so many losers playing?
C is for Casino where A & B pays C money to gamble.
The casino always wins in the end.

With a laugh, Mr Lee said:
"They want to gamble.
I don’t understand
why they want to lose.
You surely will not win."

Looks promising but there's a lot to learn. I remembered how long it took for me to learn my last notation software. I feel like returning to the old one but that one will cost a few hundred dollars.
