does affiliation really help one's effort for understanding the superior sense of life, or enlightenment? do we somehow evolve by affiliating to a group such as the ones enlisted above? or do we only affiliate because of promises we're being sold on? An hunch based list: affiliation -...

will, come to think of it isn't this atheism/ agnosticism thing just a huge speculation, play with words and so on. back in the day one could be hung for this discussion only :D

i'd go further and say hate is a form of love.

:) Its like one hand made all civilizations man!

All i can comment here is that this is a funny concept, but you see the atheist is not a Doubting Thomas of the modern day. I like Amergin's view that an atheist does not deny God's existence but simply claims he does not know wether He exists. On the other hand that is true for the...

There is nothing inherently wrong with superiority. I think its rather naive to believe we are all equal. Understanding diversity doesnt mean that we can also draw a flat line connecting the spiritual level of each individual. For example i could consider i am equal to Jesus. Hence there is...

It usually is: "I am doing it in the name of DOGMA". Yes dogma is an excuse for war. Because Dogma is made as any other human law, so it can serve as The law. It is conceived by the human mind, not revealed. All the wars have some kind of legal pretexts (like "this land was ours based on the...

Hi, The problem in the original post by Amergin is the endless confrontation between evolution and creation. It is by taking the creation word by word without interpretation that bring up questions such as which "homo X" got the first immortal soul. To what use can we put this question...

Quote: No man can claim to have reached the ultimate truth as long as there is another who has not. No one is redeemed until we are all redeemed. --- Wil, here is a metaphor: The wheel spins out of earthly control. The spices flavour the air and the whole world witnesses the evolution...

After death, that is. According to the dogmatic Christian view all the DEAD will wake up at the second coming. Eternal life is after death in the Kingdom of Heaven. And so on. Mosaicism is ' "Mosaic religion", an obsolete synonym for Judaism '. Same issue here no enlightenment during the...

did you all notice that enlightment is a feature of eastern thinking? christianity and mosaicism do not talk about enlightment. these religions are more preoccupied with death as the final answer. eastern religions however tend to encourage understanding the depths during life.

hey wil! bingo :) you've touched a grain of light by thinking of enlightenment as heaven on earth. indeed think about it: did we fall from heaven? are we trying to get back? if so then at the end of our efforts is indeed enlightenment, that light cast upon us that might let us trough the...

What if the entire world is waiting for *me* to reach enlightment?

Hi, This is for the administration guys and girls. I have two posts in the belief and spirituality forum on questions about the soul and the things the bible doesnt say abou sex thread. Both were successfully submitted but for some reason i got the message that they will be moderated...

sexual prohibition is a form of control. its obvious to the naked eye that the sexually frustrated man of woman is a toy to be manipulated. i feel this is the sole reason why the church insists so much on sex, to rule it, to make you do it in a certain way. for you can be a pure man at heart...

>>> The definition of Soul which work best for me, is that it is Consciousness. As such, it exists on every plane of being of Cosmos. Of these planes, in the larger sense, human beings can only experience 5 ... out of a total of 49. This immediately confines our scope. <<< Consciousness is a...

Can spirituality really be taught? Yes it can. Its very obvious considering that we live in a material world and nothing around us says in any way that there is more to it. Yet at some point we become aware that we are more. Consider how a child learns about God, even the Dalai Lama...

Diet and life style are probably the most important factors for ageing and sickening non-causal (that means without external factors such as viruses, accidents or parasites). From the bible we learn about people that used to live up to 900 years, that is 9 times more that our eldest, these...

as lame as it may sound that was funny :)

This logical trick has often been used to rule out omnipotency. But also we do use a tiny part of our braing by all current neurological evidence, so maybe what may seem now a paradox on a higher level of conscience could be a solvable issue: what if yes God can eliminate His existence but in...
