Since you are seeking a loving Xtianity still, have you ever looked into Universalist Christian churches? They possibly follow the loving teachings of Jesus most closely when compared with any other Christian sect. Here is a quick comparison: Universalist Christian churches believe that all...

Is it solely of Catholicism though? And they created so many sins and only made forgivable through the Church confessionals. Jesus, on the other hand, preached unconditional love and forgiveness for all. To love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us as well. Matthew 5:44: “But I tell...

On the level of humankind, almost certainly. On the level of the individual, I would still believe it of myself at least. I cannot speak for others of course....but I know they're out there.

Mine seems to be loading fine....

It may seem like a fool's errand because of societal and cultural conditioning of the nation you serve. Other nations have gone against the grain and implemented it to find that it works. In any case, caging a person up for a while, in an environment where job skills can't be learned, and then...

Makes for an interesting read. Humorous and not hateful.

The mind/soul is not the brain. Fear wins when we are too much the slaves of our brain and believe everything it makes us aware of. It is possible for us to face instead of running away, from fear, in fear. If you truly trust the God being, you can face anything. So much of behavior has now...

You cannot drop stuff from the Bible because you believe it wholly. My belief allows me to pick what appeals to me. Your belief vs my belief. I did not say you had to drop resurrection. Only that I did.

Oh a little checkup on that indicates my memory was wrong. I have one of some great meeting in Nicaea of many Xtian groups seeking to be put in Bible but not all were selected. Like Gnostics which is an important group to me. My bad. My brain drugs gimme messed up memory faculty.

@RJM @Thomas This is why any discussion of religious discussion eventually gets bogged down in "My belief is right, your belief is wrong." We can study texts ad infinitum but that is pure belief when the messenger is no longer with us. You have your beliefs about it. I have mine. No human can...

No farmer's markets nearby? Tons of that in India since plenty of farmers selling solo. Although I think Modi's capitalist drive is starting to take advantage of them. But hey, lets not get offtrack! This is a thread about Unscientificness in the world!

The OT god, killed men, women and children liberally. Whether he is god or not, I don't accept him as one to believe and worship. In fact, I doubt every creed that requires worship for its god before being accepted into the fold. When it becomes a rule, that is no longer a god of unconditional...

Yes, that and the hate in the OT god, amongst others, is why I'm not a Christian. Christian and Muslim dogma has a lot of hate. Sorry. Strange. It's available in India. Maybe try a VPN? It just a video of a Buddhist monk burning himself alive in a public location. Maybe try going to YT and...

Well, I think I'd like to add my 2c to this thread. Hard questions asked in religion usually come from the believer in one creed to another, in a notably different one. When we seek solely in scripture, either ours or theirs, for an answer to them, we are quite unlikely to find a satisfactory...

Basically not letting our inner hate and need for vengeance, lead to hateful actions against the perpetrator. If we have permanently lost something or someone because of what they did, reacting hostilely will not lead to a return of what we have lost. It will be better mentally to accept that...

Not if homemade instead of packaged. Frying fish and potatoes is not too complex. Its easier to get fresh and organic in India. I dont know how easy it is to get freshly caught fish over there though. Especially the freshwater kind.

Quite well! Nowhere near as dark as Malazan but still quite good. Also, reading Lavey's Satanic Bible in bite sized pieces when the fancy takes me. It is definitely anti-Christianity but not really evil as Christianity media claimed. Just proposed an alternate way of thinking about life which is...

fish and chips is the whole macro. includes carbs, proteins and fats. Not to mention awesome omega-3s for the brain!

The World Health Organization (WHO) did recommend eating locusts as a possible solution to food insecurity and malnutrition in some regions of the world. Locusts are edible insects that are rich in protein, iron, zinc, and other nutrients. They are also environmentally friendly, as they require...

Is Horror fiction? a nonfic about its history? or a writing guide? Ever read the Malazan fantasy series? Plenty of darkness in there for me...
