POPS"paintings are talking you, beyond word" ...Buddhist art... "The Buddha did not initiate the creation of sacred images. Once he said to a disciple, who wanted to see him before dying: «Oh, Vakkhali, why do you want to see this body, composed of unclear substances? He who perceives Dharma, Vakkhali, perceives me. He who perceives me perceives Dharma». Thus, as far as we know, there was no worship of the Buddha’s image in the early Buddhist community after his Parinirvāṇa.

POPSThousands Flock to Revival in Search of Miracles Too many people claim to have "spoken to their god" and used the imagined status from this to cause problems for the world. Hardship for the people. It is as if they feel that they are capable of corrupting the image of that god to sate greed. Sad that something with the potential to do good, is so abused by greedy and corrupt people.

I'VE SEEN BODACIOUS WOMEN WHO ARE CLEANER, MORE METICULOUS AND WELL DRESSED THAN THE CREEP THEY ARE TRYING TO IMPRESS. WISE UP LADIES. BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE AND PEOPLE WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT. BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE THE NUMBER OF YOUNG WOMEN TODAY WHO HAVE NO SENSE OF SELF AND ARE BRAINWASHED INTO BELIEVING WHAT THEY SEE ON TV. THAT'S THE WORLD OF PLASTIC. THIS IS THE REAL WORLD.

POPSUnintelligent Design At this point, 30 years after the Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman and his late collaborator Amos Tversky started documenting a rash of fallacies in human reasoning, the idea that the human mind would be "perfect in His image" is as outdated (and narcissistic) as the idea that the solar system would revolve around the planet earth. The only theory that can really make sense of these needless imperfections is Darwin's theory of natural selection, which holds that humans (and all other life forms) evolve through a blind process known as descent-with-modification, in which new life forms represent random modifications of earlier life forms -- with no central overseer to guide the process. Such a random process can, over time, lead populations of creatures to become more adapted to their environment, but it is also vulnerable to getting stuck, in the sort of good-enough-but-not-perfect solutions that mathematicians call local maxima.
