Yup

Heh... every single time I hear this line of thought I dust off trusty ole Socrates:

“Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers."

So stop yer ******** and get off my lawn...

Lol, people are always going to worship something so it might as well be YOUR god? What crap.

I'm still undecided if you're simply trolling or if you went on some really bad trip that pushed your mind, cowering, into a narrow little tunnel with pictures of jesus on the walls.

Human suffering is paying for past life misdeeds.

The Hellenic civilization was one of the most unstable and violent in human history so...
Recall that Plato believed in a "One God" but he incorrectly calculated that God was so far and so mch more perfect than humans that there is no chance of ever knowing any truth about it. There is truth in there but his view was lacking the notion that God is Loving.



Let's get this clear. I know your heart is hardened against these things.
We agree that there are NOT many Gods.
I say there is only One God and that God is the one that stooped down onto His creation and became one of us and suffered as one of us to attone for our imperfection by offering all humans the ONLY way to stand in the presence of perfection.
We can't do it ourselves and we can't do it by any means other than the provision of MY GOD.

..and you say (I think) that there is NO True God.
So are you advocating that people worship false gods even if you believe that they are not real? Or are you advocating that the worship of any god whatsoever is an error that is destructive to society?

If that is what you believe then do you disagree with me that people (All people) will worship anything that they can find to worship that suits their fancy and that this "worship" fills the same VOID that believing in religions and superstitions fill?



Trolling is in the eye of the beholling (zing!)

I'm not on here to evoke bile and hatred toward myself and my views or to get a laugh out of watching people get annoyed. I'm here because, even though I have come to disagree with many views here, I still respect the viewpoints and opinions here and I know that what I have become is pretty much the antithesis of what I know many here to be (spiritually) therefore I know that I can count on people here to respond to me truthfully and without the burder of trying to be polite.

If that's trolling than call get me out of the sun.

If you really are curious my actual "bad-trips" (if you mean literal acid trips) are 18 years behind me but I had been into the occult since I was younger than these girls. Perhaps you see that as a result of my just being an idiot.. but I have never worshiped anything blindly. I explored every type of religion that I could find under the presumption that ALL religions were wrong because they were all made by humans.. Jesus included. It seemed logical that whatever the Truth might be that it would have to be something that I would have to develop on my own. You see, we worship ourselves by Default.
The false presumption that I made was that any Real God could never be known. I was wrong. God is there the whole time with His hands outstretched.. but like obstinate children we push the hands away and run off to play.

You call it a "narrow tunnel". What you see as a narrow tunnel is actually the prism that changes everything. It is the small keyhole through which everything that is Real actually exists.

This narrow tunnel is the escape from Plato's Cave.



The a major flaw of Buddhas teachings is that there is no other providence given to achieve Nirvana other than our sheer will-power... and after all of that you still have negative emotions, get sick, and die. Unless you believe in reincarnation there really is no point to any of it and it really makes no sense.. considering that in Buddhism when you reincarnate you also shed your identity. Plus this is not a religion that is open to people are are of less sound mind. My mother isn't going to suddenly start learning to meditate for hours to find peace... but she may be able to simply cry out to God..
In the case of Jesus; you are affected and refined by God regardless of how evil you are or how uneducated or just how plain dumb you are. The water is free for all that are thirsty.. but first we have to stop drinking our own kool-aid.

3,700 supernatural beings, 2,780 which could be defined as dieties as of 6,000 years ago with the birth of the Sumerians and their **** retentive decision to write **** down. That's of course not counting the religions where everything in existence had a god associated with it.

4. The greatest danger to humanity is not a lack of belief or even a lack of empathy, but the arrogance of certainty.

Are you sure about that?

Yeah, right up there with all of the other ones.



Oh, please, spare me your regurgitated American liberal caricature of Buddhism.

I like the one with the big belly and smiley face.

Forget the past, you cannot change it. Forget the future, you cannot predict it. Forget the present, I didn't get you one.

Okay, that made me laugh.

Xavier is 12, a self proclaimed atheist, and loves reading anything about Slenderman. He even dressed up as him for Halloween last year. He thinks these girls are sick people and he's disgusted and horrified by their actions. So unless you hear about my son killing someone, Kelvy's points are invalid. Bad trip, dude? Might want to get a higher quality of shrooms next time.

What if he kills me, huh? Then it'll be too late.
