Dyspraxic Adults

@ Osymandus: yes, we had Islam, Jews and Christians living in relative good peace until the Catholic kings in the 15th century (Isabelle and Ferdinard) decided that everyone had to be catholic, leave the country or die (I guess that at least they assured them salvation by killing them? :-s ). That'...

Atypical of anecdotal behaviour of a small portion of the atheist/agnostic population.
I.e some people who may or may not be dicks about what they believe in

This social control and manipulation you are talking about simply doesn't exist. Most countries in the Western world exercise a freedom to practice or (not practice) any religion. Sure, the church has a sphere of influence, but none as great as secular organisations such as the UN or EU. Using word...

Actually it was no worse then teh famous "kill them all and god shall know is own " from the first Christian crusade ;) And Saladin was far more humain then any Pope or Christian leader ;) (but the Ottermans didnt help much :P) I would very much disagree about Mother Terresa and point you ...

Actually the Wiki page isnt bad ;) . WEll Spain did have the Moor's for many centuries (from about 12Th i think ;)) so you lucky swines :D . Islam it self doesn't convert or should not . The accept people of the book (i.e Jew's and Christians ) but will welcome those who want to convert. Pagans can ...

@Evasura . Oddly no as like Judaism its kept in the family . They do not force others to join (their haev been periods in history where it was convert or die but that was mainly crusades ) and like a few things was twisted form teh original idea

Oh and its only Christianity that has the evangelicals or deliberately set out to convert others . Bad form really.

Evasura I will correct you yes you are wrong . The Abraham faiths are influence by Zoroastrianism , the Olympic/Greek as well as the Sumerian (God as most people understand it is a title from Babylonian times called El , Babal is also a God or title Ba Bel meaning lord of lords) . Lucifer for instan...

Hi Jhonny Blaze ;) Anyways , on the NHS your GP should refre you to see a psychologist with occupational or educational training . They are teh only ones who can do a legal assesment . Occupational therapists can help with techniguies as can councilors for assitance with life in general . NHS can be...

In a larger context you have had teh debate of nature (how you are made) with Nurture ) how you were raised and educated in your society ). Anything that cause you to think or act in a way that is seen as different from everyone else would most likely (IMHO here ) help develope you into who you are ...

Meditation . It was first doe (teh MRI scans ) on Buddhist monks . Anyone can learn to do it . Its all about the discipline . The goal of all of it is normally the union with "insert flavour" divinity (either Nirvana, Gnosis , Shiva and Shakti etc)

Before anyone gets into absolutes or scientific facts , epically ironic for us . The brain contains an area called the Thalamus , it services to filter out incoming information , scientific reasoning and religious or philosophical interpretation are down to the information your senses received to th...

Hi I really would let them know . You would be covered under the DDA . Also it makes live easier for everyone . If you not able to to reproduce notes (i know i can;t ) then a Dictaphone would be able to say help you to type it up later (or some nice software would do it for you ;)). Also it will hel...

Basically the first is how you perceive distances gaps etc , teh other is how you can visualise and formulate images or concepts in your own mind . Nikolai Tesla had this perfectly (and he basically invented the 21st C technology as we know it )

Just shows the limitation of the interview techniques more .
