I had 6 teeth worked on in 3 sessions over the last 2 years. Laser plus abrasion for removal with low speed drill for shaping at the end. I wore...

I think that there are a few levels of effort to help relieve the suffering. First up would be to address the basic lifestyle choices that can be...

The Bible and the teachings of Christianity are by design, fixed. Assumed to be the inerrant word of God and therefore not subject to revision....

When I was younger, I thought something was wrong with me. Surrounded by religious families, dragged off to church by relatives, forced to pray by...

All of this will become moot when we join the 99%, a statistical inevitability.

I wish you all the best. In the end we need to take our journey. George

Thank you for your kind words. Every day is not a good day indeed but if it was easy, anyone could do it. George

It is a shock when life throws you a curve ball, especially when that unexpected change takes away something or changes the plan, what you were...

@gameover, thank you for asking. I have learned to ignore/adapt to my tinnitus probably 90% of the time. My pain hyperacusis is better but not...

The universe is unimaginably complex and infinite in both directions. Compared to the vastness and complexity of this massive structure, humans...

Not just the Jews but some Christians cherry pick the New Testament and/or Old Testament to suit their world view. The judgy angry people that...

There are so many versions out there to pick from. Hinduism is your Stephen King story but with an eventual offramp (Moksha) if and when you get...

It's all good, I know how important this is to you so I respect how you feel, same with my wife and her family. It's the journey man, a wild ride...

Several scientific models based on quantum physics such as causal set theory believe that the universe had no beginning, that it always was. These...

It gets even worse. My brother-in-law told me that I am the proof of Calvinism because I searched so diligently with an open mind and found...

No religion is over 50% of the population so, statistically, you're right about that, with any choice. In another couple of decades “no...

Pizza sounds good, maybe we should be talking about pizza instead. Lol. Yes salt among other things makes my tinnitus spike but it’s temporary

I have been presented with and read this viewpoint before. The problem is that unless you really believe this in your heart, and any such God that...

After decades of exposure to the concept and searching for my truth I just come up empty on this. I just don’t feel anything towards it. It may...

I am not a believer but I have spent a lifetime around Christians. My mother, my wife and her entire family and two of my very best friends. 5 of...

Step one is election finance reform. Like we have said here about religion gone bad, power and money.

I am not arguing against gun-ownership, it’s fundamental to our constitution but having the ability to rise up against the tyranny of government...

That sounds really good.

Stalin killed 6 million of his own people, many suffering horribly, Cambodia 2 million, Armenia 1 million, Rwanda 1 million, German atrocities on...

@SarahMLFlemmer, in what way do "Christians" persecute each other? What is the basis for the hate?

Einstein once said that "power always attracts men of low morality". Its no different on this subject, inserting yourself between mortals and...

I am a open-minded person who has searched for truth on countless subjects throughout my life, including this one. I just come up completely...

Genetics, environment, lifestyle choices, who knows. Cancer does not care who you are or what kind of a life you live, only that you are a...

I was married to a Christian, we were together for 22 years. It was never once an issue, we had mutual respect for each other’s beliefs. Other...

I often wonder how much of all of this is what you are taught to believe by family and culture, what is passed down. I have met some who were not...

@Henry Orlando FL, interesting article, thanks.

I agree that there are plenty of evidence-based decisions being made but there are also metric shit tons of beliefs being formed and sides taken...

One of the things that I find so interesting about this entire subject is that all the “action” was thousands of years ago and none of the more...

I want to thank all of the kind and gracious people who come here to help others and give support and especially to all of those that have been so...

The "humanization" of spirituality results in a religion largely based on need which for some individuals can be rather fluid.

Religion is a human invention, frequently revised to create a new round of exclusivity and in some cases to wield power and influence. Inserting...

We have a similar point of view. I’ve often wondered if there is a God, why is this so hard? When I have asked that question out loud, the answer...

You are obviously very passionate about this subject, how is the priority for tinnitus research established or the priority among all competing...

So then you do not believe but it's not settled for you, or are you just checking your work? I can tell you that for me I was amazed at the...

If you are a good person and are not hurting anybody, which I assume that you are, then I am glad that your faith helps or comforts you. I think...

Thank you. My wife passed away from cancer (her 4th) and I have two cancers, one of them stage 4 and incurable. And of course I am here as well....

Personally I assume at this point that this is what happens so we need to make the best of our 80 or so years and leave behind the best legacy and...

I believe that the truth is a mix of all of the above. Some who have tinnitus have comorbidity with a condition of the mind such as OCD or...

I have made an assumption that physical proof does not and will not exist and so claims of proof because of only a personal emotion are pointless....

As long as you are not hurting anybody I'm good with all belief systems. For me it's personal and something that we need to arrive at on our own...

The spectrum of what is experienced here is huge and no 2 people are the same. It only makes sense that what works for one, will work for some...

Good for you, that's a positive experience. Same thing happens for me. As a matter of fact whenever something causes a spike, I get busy on...

I recently dealt with this after a long layoff. This was my experience: I bought my own ultrasonic cleaner on Amazon and got caught up on the...
