Is God A Fortune-Teller?

Q: I’m sorta wondering about this God talkin’ to Pat Robertson business. It seems to me that if God wanted to tell Pat Robertson something that would help us, He wouldn’t just tell Pat that there was gonna be a big terrorist attack in the US. I mean, as long as He was tellin’ Pat stuff, you’d think He’d tell Pat the formula for how to cure childhood cancer, or maybe what to do about global warming.But no, here’s God talkin’ to Pat and all He tells him is that there’s gonna be a terrorist attack sometime this year?(Yeah, I know. Robertson’s a nut-job. Trouble is, he’s a nut-job that a lot of people listen to.)

What is the best way to support osteosarcoma research?

Q: I want to dedicate some of my discretionary spending money to finding medicinal cures for this rare childhood cancer. Is the best way to invest in the few pharmaceutical companies developing drugs for this or to give to a charity? Which charity? I want my money to go toward finding a cure not toward patient support, education or anything else. I want it to go to osteosarcoma research specifically and not to childhood cancer research in general. If I do invest the money in a company, I won’t care about the quality of the investment as an investment. Only about 400 children a year get this disease so not much money gets invested in finding cures for it. There hasn’t been a significant improvement in its survival statistics for twenty years.

A: I can’t think of a way in which you could direct the money you invest in a pharmaceutical (or other) company specifically to osteosarcoma research. Once you invest in a company you have no control over whether the money goes into some specific area of research or a new jet or pay increase for its CEO.But there are research programs that are devoted to specific conditions, including osteosarcoma. For example, the University of Indiana lists an Osteosarcoma Research Fund that is “used to support basic and clinical research of osteosarcoma and related tumors at the Indiana University Cancer Center within the IU School of Medicine.” (See link #1, below.)Click link #2, below, for addresses and telephone numbers for the Indiana University Foundation, which accepts contributions for this fund.

I Frequently Ask Myself The Question, “Is This Real?”?

Q: I don’t like to let my mind go idle, because when I do, I’m flooded with questions about human consciousness, and the mind. Specifically, mine.We’ve all asked ourselves the question, ‘why am I, me?’ But in idle moments, my mind really starts to unsettle me, and I find myself asking questions like, ‘is this really happening?’Then I start to think about fate. I think about how things have generally worked out the way I want them to in my life, and how when people have said things to me, dating back to my childhood, I know they’re significant and will have meaning in my future life… Then… Bang. That comment someone said from when I was 8 that I weirdly remember, resonates with something in my life.The scary thing is, one of those instances was my dad telling me that perhaps in my lifetime ‘there’ll be a cure for cancer.’ I didn’t even know what cancer was back then.The easiest way to summarise the way I feel, is The Truman Show.Am I alone?

A: When it boils down to the nitty gritty…. nothing is real. There are many layers of consciousness – all with their different logic and reasoning. What is logic on one plane is not necessarily valid logic on another. A dream has its own reality and differs from the (other) waking reality. BOTH are equally true, valid. Many books have been written and nobody has found a fitting answer yet.
