Socrates said: The unexamined life is not worth living. Dr. John and Dr. Drew want to examine life. As medical doctors, we examine our patient's vital signs for a living. We want to explore together our own vital signs. Do we have a pulse? Do we have a blood pressure? Are we breathing? Do we have a temperature? Are we truly alive? I hope so... We have discovered that to be truly alive; we also have to have another set of Vital Signs: Where did we come from (Origin)? Why are we here (Meaning)? Can we know right from wrong (Morality)? Where are we going (Destiny)? vitalsigns.md is a place to talk, to listen, and to see who we are. This is a place to always feel welcomed no matter what your background, no matter what you believe because we are ALL in this life boat together. So come and join us or just listen in to our discussions along the journey. We want to know what people from all walks of life think about life. origin, meaning, morality, destiny, vital signs, atheism, theism, life without God, God, life with God VITAL SIGNS VITAL SIGNS vitalsigns@vitalsigns.md no no ORIGIN Christianity Interview #1 http://www.vitalsigns.md/2009/06/18/vital-signs-with-god/origin-christianity-interview-1/ http://www.vitalsigns.md/2009/06/18/vital-signs-with-god/origin-christianity-interview-1/#comments Thu, 18 Jun 2009 20:13:59 +0000 Vital Signs http://www.vitalsigns.md/?p=115 Enjoy us as we listen and watch our very 1st interview with a Christian.  PLEASE as always take our brief survey and leave your comments.
