Sorry if I was a jerk. I think I've gotten kind of tired of these kinds of forums for the time being. What some people call spirituality is just living in a fantasy world. I've met enough people like that and there is precious little to be learned from conversations with them. People...

I know because I've met a million people like him. "Self-less" and "ego-less" people on internet boards are just like any other person who thinks they have some special knowledge. The fact that they want to brag about how "selfless" they are should immediately tell you how deluded they are.

You are sort of saying you want to f*** the poor because you get off on it. "Oh, yeah. Let me j*** on your face you poor people." Your religion is really messed up.

I think you should go ahead and belittle his "experience." He's obviously full of crap.

Yeah and dog is God spelled backwards. I guess we should all worship dogs. I cracked the bible code. woopie.

It's a stupid game to get mixed up in. The Bible was written by people who thought the earth was made in seven days and that God sanctioned killing children sometimes. Why worry about the arithmetic problems of barbarians?

It's all make believe. "Oooo, I can cast spells. You are a frog now." "Ooooo. I prayed to God and he is giving me wishes and going to get me a pony. Also, you are a frog now." "Ooooo. I read The Secret. I am sitting on a toilet straining to poop out my dreams and soon they will become...

People like simple answers. If you say Jesus is the answer to everything, then some people will like that because it helps them not to think. The popular answer is often an oversimplified solution. If you can create a big legend claiming some kind of special power over everything, then people...

What pretentious garbage.

No one is laughing out loud...on the entire internet.

Life is hard for everyone. At some point most of us have to entertain thoughts about an afterlife and what might be. Science and skepticism isn't very fulfilling when we need to find meaning but trying to placate a God who sits on top of the pyramid of creation is kind of hard to do as well...

Bliss often sounds like being simple minded to me. Such descriptions remind me of Terri Schiavo looking at that balloon from a hospital bed. Yes, it's good to take pleasure in simple things, but calling it bliss and trying to make it into something meaningful seems like a good way to lose...

The rapture makes no sense. The Bible needed an exciting climax so they came up with a story about Jesus coming back and kicking evil's butt.
