I'd rather have you tell me what you are thinking even if it sounds negative. We only learn about what we really know when we write about it. My way of looking at things is always available for revision. In terms of God, my current thinking is having a set of assumptions about God that...

Your post reminds me of a funny story. One day two monks were in a garden arguing subjectivity versus objectivity. The Zen master hearing them arguing approached the two students. The Zen master asked, "that rock over there, does that exist inside your head or outside your head?". One of the...

"boss" is such a horrible word. For me, I have very negative connotations with the word "boss". I would prefer or would choose to refer to God as our "steward". We live in an age were authoritarianism is religion. I think at some point we have to come back to an the idea of an omnipotent...

See my previous post.

I'm not a big fan of the idea God is like a person. That would imply God has physical boundaries. I think God is unknowable because God's being is infinite without boundaries. I prefer to think of the word God as a representation of the idea of every possible thought and experience that has...

God is just a word. The word God represents something. What the word God represents is always a matter of subjective interpretation. However, if one steps back and looks at the definitions of God there are some interesting possibilities. One of the best definitions of the word God can be...

Apophatic theology is not my invention. However, please elaborate on what you are thinking. The thing is any conversation with regards to religion involves having a set of assumptions that are considered to be true without any proof. If this were not in the realm of subjectivity then...

This is good to know because if the situation ever arises I will just turn my back to the shooter.

Based on the idea of Unity of opposites you cannot experience extreme happiness without also experiencing extreme misery: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_of_opposites

I love this post.

For several months now I've been resonating with the ideas of Apophatic theology and certain interpretations of the trinity. I like the idea that God is not a person but God is a type of experience. Just because you use a toilet everyday does not make you a master plumber. The same thing is...

You would probably like and greatly benefit from this series of videos: Here's a really good video on the same material: The purpose of myth and religion is to provide us a map on how we are to live our lives with sacred meaning. Joseph Campbell once said myth is the only thing worth...

Maybe just like Atheism there are 7 types of love.

I'm not saying sex with two chicks is not heaven. I agree there's probably more to the definition of love than my simple definition. The idea God is love is very strange to me. Based on human experiments there is no amount of evil God will not tolerate in order to preserve our free-will. It...

When it comes to Indian mythology, just call me Jack Mudhas. Brahma is like a black hole. Every time a star collapses to black hole it creates a big bang event in a newly created space-time dimension. https://phys.org/news/2015-10-white-holes.html

It's hard enough to believe in God let alone Satan. Besides, God created us and Satan with imperfections. God is the only God who is perfect, whole, and complete without any needs or desires. Why would you worship any lesser god?

He's your man not mine. It is amazing how popular nihilism is around the World. The main problem with the existentialists is not only is life meaningless, but it is meaningless that it is meaningless. Nietzsche and his friends problem is they lived their lives thinking it all is meaningless...

I'm just trying to keep it real by not having a definition of love that is too ambiguous or nebulous. Love first and foremost is a relationship between two people.

For me, I try to have a very simple definition for the word love. I define love as simple acts of kindness for someone with no expectations for anything in return. What does it mean to love God? You can revere God. But how does one love God?

Master is not a form of government. I'm not into sadomasochism so I don't quite get the master idea anyway. Obviously I think slavery is immoral. It's kind of hard to imagine how the Bible got slavery wrong. King is a different word altogether. There are many types of kings. Some good...
