Sometimes legibility is related to literacy. And non-linear thinking.

I guess I'll just give up as he'll probably make a third account and thwart that again. Something else regular members aren't supposed to do.

The entire point behind the new account is to interact as just another regular idiot member. The other account has baggage and benefits that are unfair when trying to be taken at face value rather than given unfair credit or held to unfair standards when posting as "me".

I haven't watched the video yet, but judging by the title, I'm going to let Charlie field that one.... This should be interesting if I know him :lol:

The dude was excruciating to listen to.

But his general point is basically saying that if you let go of the "normal boundaries" as defined by "normal people" of what it means to be a "normal person"... the material presence of "you" is effectively unbounded and immortal.

What fascinates me is the measurement of "you" as defined by "your awareness" doesn't even get mentioned. The immersion into materialism is so powerful that the only part that can actually ever TRULY be said to be "you"... "your awareness of your point of view" isn't even factored into the equation. All the things they are measuring are "you" today, "someone else" tomorrow... and the thing that will always be you and nobody else... doesn't even register on the radar.

Here is a list of Gods, I hope everyone has picked the right one/ones.

Spoiler


Nobody knows how (not why) everything started yet, maybe we never will. I just don't see the point in being so sure about an answer to a question that cannot be answered yet. That's what faith is, an unreasonable conclusion.

It's unreasonable to claim to know this answer.

Robman has a real thing for thinking people getting angry at him. Whether it's wishful thinking, scarring from abusive people in his past or some kind of ego problem I do not know. He shows an unfailing tendency to try and move things from a objective level to a personal, subjective level.

In reality, at least in my case, I actually find the whole scenario rather amusing. Mostly the parts where he kept taking the evasive, failing to answer questions with meaningful answers (if any at all) and then becoming passive-aggressive when his lack of social skills repeatedly let him down further - then again, I guess when you live in the middle of nowhere they are a little harder to develop.


He seems to be racking up a fair number of upvotes so he must be well-liked around here nonetheless. You know what they say about flies and shit.

Which is why God said there is but 1 God and not to worship anything else... golden calf, turd.

Oooooh so that's what faith is? I have read a book that gives answers to pretty ALL of the questions you folks seek and yet I hear zero answers back from peoples who presumably have not read the same book. With that said, stay stuck in the mud if you wish. When I observe a cat chasing it's tail.. I do what most people do which is sit back and laugh yet also take pity on the simple mind of said cat.
Yet I admire the cat and see it's purrrpose.

- People really think I'm making up the notion of some choice folks getting mad at me? When the "big words" go out the window and are replaced with words like "douchbag, book burner and woman abuser," those are words of anger.

Science is nothing more than the human mind trying to make sense of God's creation.

You can remain "retarded" or "held back" if you wish, I realize it won't stop you from slinging the mud in which you are mired.

Your god might be saying that, but the point he's making is that the gods of all the other religions are probably saying the exact same thing.

Which book are you talking about? The bible? Doesn't that book contradict itself in many places? If so, I wouldn't rely on it to have all the answers.

To the feeble minded I suppose it may appear that way. Which is why it is a book to be "studied."

If you can find fault in the 10 commandments, I'd be interested in hearing what you make up :lol:

The only way to not find fault with them is to be a Jew, Christian, or Muslim. Otherwise right from line 1 it's out the window.

Additionally I should mention that there are actually 613 commandments.

It was an informal "unquoted" response to Micky C's post. The Bible holds more questions than answers, that's the whole point, to question yourself and it and all.

What you get out of the Bible basically changes or can carry meaning to different scenarios every time you pick it up, which again is why it is to be studied.

Aye, the asking... but then there's the time it takes for the correct answer to break through.

Just a quick FYI, I went through confirmation and quit right before the ceremony because of my own beliefs differing enough that I began to question things. From then on it was a lot of self study of multiple ideas. Also not only am I friends with a lot of Jewish people but have tried to learn a lot about the religion, especially since I work for and with a lot of them. That's how I started to learn about these things and Google was merely used to provide a link for you to learn something as well. If you remember the root of Christianity is quite directly Judaism, and the Old Testament is in fact a translation of the Torah. The commandments mentioned are IN THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE and Jesus himself explained that you should still follow Jewish law/commandments as he himself was a Jew.

Frankly your ignorance about your own religion is really off putting and puts your attitude in a different perspective.

Yeah, things were simplified post crucifixion, what's your point? I think you may have your "bits & pieces" of info scrambled.

Explain to me the ignorance I am reflecting upon "my religion" ... notice how it really is MY religion.

I have expressed correct teachings of the Bible and hold Christ as most high. Where again is my folly?

The words I type NEED to be viewed from a different perspective, so we are making some headway here I see. :lol:

At this point, as it's been all along it's down to " take it or leave it." Call it food for thought.
At the very least, I think we can all agree that there is "something more" going on here and everywhere.

Would you like me to post part of the Bible where it tells that you will meet opposition when speaking of the Lord?
How it tells that if you do this, Jesus will acknowledge you before the Father?
I tell you there is no BAD in what I am and have been saying.

Science is nothing more than the human mind trying to make sense of God's creation.

we were created with free will and curiosity. that's what got us in trouble in the first place, but to deny your nature and how you were created is to deny God's design. We were made to question everything, including why God does things in a certain way.

Did God pepper the solar system and the planet with biological material and let nature takes its course, or did he let the planet develop with a little guidance then dump us here?
Is that why He keeps showing up and disappearing, He has other projects on the other side of the universe to take care of before He gets back to us?

These are normal and reasonable questions.

"because God made it that way" is the most worthless answer that can be given. You're basically saying to stop looking, quit asking, and remain ignorant. We'd still be living in caves and poking things with sharp sticks if we followed that advice.


you fail at theology. you make my religion look bad.

i have called you nothing other than a dodgy troll. I have listed behaviors and actions exquisitely executed by the christian and catholic church over the last several centuries.

if your mad about that, then pretend it never happened, or just tell yourself that those atrocities were done in God's name "because God made it that way"

since you edited out one of the more important lines in regards to this discussion about whether religion is compatible with science or does it just promote hiding our head in the sand when we can't find a readily easy answer to some of the mysteries of life and the universe.
