iwillgonow: What is the difference between meditation and prayer, or is there?
jello13091: Just tell us, since you're going to anyway.....it's too late to think..,..!
jello13091: Meditate is to contemplate, muse over.
jello13091: Prayer is to actually know and not just wonder and ponder
iwillgonow: What?
iwillgonow: HELLO JENNIFER, answer the question.
psycho314t: julie answered you
iwillgonow: Julie was wrong.
psycho314t: ...
psycho314t: meditate = contemplate
jello13091: its a 50/50 question then!
psycho314t: prayer = communication w/ God
jello13091: meditate and prayer would be the same then
iwillgonow: No, where did "communication with God" come into her defrfinition of meditate????
jello13091: what??
psycho314t: can you not read?
psycho314t: i didnt say that was meditate
jello13091: oh
psycho314t: i said that was prayer
iwillgonow: CAN YOU GUYS NOT READ?
psycho314t: and i didnt say thats what julie said
psycho314t: you said she was wrong, so i amended it
jello13091: Jacob, what are you on?
iwillgonow: I was answering Julie's last statemennt when I said "NO!"
jello13091: ok
iwillgonow: She thought they were still the same, even whent the blatently obvious differences in the deffinitions were right in front of her face!
jello13091: Well, you said the difference I gave was wrong!
iwillgonow: YOU WERE WRONG!
psycho314t: i think she said they were the same before i finished what i was saying
jello13091: therefore seeming like any difference would be wrong
psycho314t: the 2 statements just appeared at the same time
jello13091: OK STOP YELLING!
iwillgonow: Meditation is to contemplate things, and prayer is to commuicate with God.
