I have figured out that I need to hit the reply to all tab in order
for a post to go to everyone.  The Gen 3:21 post was a conversation
between me and Bryan (Bryan your spelling is not to bad in some of
your post and horrible in others, that's ok I can still tell what your
are saying ) because I didn't reply to everyone.  I will try to re
post it.

I see that there are a lot more post in my email than here on the
group site so I wonder if others are doing the same thing.  I think it
will be easier to use the site rather than my email.

My new thought is how we relate to others in view of today's
technology.  Now you may think this is not a spiritual issue but I
believe that the way we communicate and relate to each other is a
reflection of how we relate to our Creator.  If you think about how
people lived as little as two hundred years ago in comparison to
today.  Conversations were face to face, if you had an issue, you had
to deal with it. You could walk away for a moment, but eventually you
had to come back to the village, tribe, community.

Today if we don't like the way things are going we just leave, move to
another state or even country, go to a different church, or shut
ourselves out completely and turn to our computers, not that any of us
are doing that :)

Group sites, like this, that exchange ideas and knowledge are not
really what I had it mind, though they play a part in how we
interact.  I was thinking about the virtual reality sites.  I know so
many young people who spend a good majority of their time "playing" in
these other "worlds" in lieu of spending time with real people.  You
can be who ever you want.  If you are short and fat you can make you
avatar talk and thin.  If you are shy and awkward, you can be outgoing
and popular.  There are sites that have whole "lives" to live.  You
get married, have sex, make babies, get jobs, buy things (with your
real money) and the list goes on.

So, where are we going as a collective soul (for lack of a better
word)?  With a generation that seems to prefer playing it safe to
getting into real life with real people?
