    Heaven and Hell are anthropomorphic constructs...

    No difference. Someone will find your behavior beyond their realm of acceptability. Should they punish or bribe you? Do you punish or bribe those that go beyond your realm of acceptability? If forced to live in a world with others, will you find that acceptable, or view that as a punishment...

    Heaven and Hell are anthropomorphic constructs...

    Yet, do you think others do? Do you provide neither carrot nor stick to those that you find disagreeable in the sand box? You throw no stones, neither punishing, banning, or bribing others? If true, then I would certainly see the compassion that you describe yourself with. I find that a little...

    Going through hell before we get to heaven

    Are you saying you think it wise to avoid doing sin, or to avoid those who do sin? You definitely sound athiest to me as you describe what 'it' is that teaches you, or prepares you for a 'kingdom of heaven'. Per the teaching of Jesus, perhaps the stones can teach some lessons indirectly...

    Going through hell before we get to heaven

    So you attribute heaven and hell to a place. By sampling and learning the nature of a place, you believe you may overcome getting burned. You think your ignorance is your gate, and acquiring personal knowledge and control of this place is the key to your heaven. It sounds atheist to me, but the...

    Spiritual Flavors

    Spiritual flavors... nice ring to it. I am motivated for a post before I head off to taste some other spirits. If anyone has any uncertainty on things, as I find that one should, then questions might surface and there is a decision of whether to seek answers. If spirits are seen, there is a...

    What is the essence of all religions?

    Is it just my failing memory, or did this thread change a bit? And why are these bits and bytes laying on their sides with the smell of burning electrons and sulfur in the air? It looks like some thread history has gone up in flames. Lunitik seems to have received his wish to have his...

    What is the essence of all religions?

    Yes. Whereas with relationships I provide some control and I ask for control from others. Yes. I am not trying to destroy your ideas and beliefs any more than I am trying to destroy your history. It is beyond my power and interest to do your homework for you. From my perspective your words are a...

    What is the essence of all religions?

    Now I have no sense of control since I am told it is a fallacy. So, it is you that made me listen to that... that... horrendous... evil... transforming... feces throwing.... and now I am transformed by it?! I am ruined!!! :D:D:D Or, perhaps it is not what goes into the mind that transforms...

    What is the essence of all religions?

    You are not describing either of us. Perhaps you are describing yourself? Perhaps you are describing yourself, in your condition? Sharing control is potentially a lot more fun and productive. Agree? Think and answer carefully.

    What is the essence of all religions?

    Whereas a person being honest is giving you control, giving you information whereby you can have control. I believe I have been honest and reasonably open with you. As an example: When I cheated on the relationship with my wife I took control of something that she cared about. In confessing, I...

    What is the essence of all religions?

    Does Mooji still mooch off of his parents? Does he mooch off his followers? If you truly wish to follow and be like him, then go meet him and live with him for a time, and see if your perception is true. He prefers to think that you will know him by being like him from a distance. Fine: you only...

    What is the essence of all religions?

    I will review late tonight. I recommend that at this point in your life you should not be doing some things with your parents, and they should not be doing some things with you. Why? For your personal development, and for their personal development. I would highly recommend maintaining relations...

    What is the essence of all religions?

    That is usually how the parenting cycle goes: Cling for a number of years and then either hold the ladder or kick the bird out of the nest. Perhaps somewhere in between? If mom is working away at Walmart though to support a ~30 year old, who has found the internet a haven to... enlighten...

    What is the essence of all religions?

    Easier to converse with strangers instead? Yes relationships involve being responsible. :)

    What is the essence of all religions?

    What haven't you fabricated? You even fabricated my gender. Everything. You have said you are just watching, or at best: an actor. Lipstick. As you don't use your mind, you don't use it. I believe you, that you focus on what you can get out of others. I paid for college and studied to become an...

    What is the essence of all religions?

    Are you taking responsibility for your words now? Fabrication does have pitfalls. An ankle biter had degraded my health. Do the trees deny responsibility for their actions, as you have? You are sharing a new word, and I believe you have the best word to focus on: Repressed. What do you think...

    What is the essence of all religions?

    Perhaps it is a start to recognize that one is working as a member, employing their heart, mind, and soul, to do harm (or not good), upon others. That would require doing some things.

    What is the essence of all religions?

    Do you try to post advice that is evil? So with you something is neither good, nor evil... it is just either idiotic or smart. I find that it is smart and good for a person and the health of those that they share life with, to be thinking and following the golden rule. No. I said the trees are...

    Happiness

    The pictures would look much better with the absence of those words. Then it seems I have rocked the boat and shaken a bee hive. Do you believe I will find honey in it? :D

    What is the essence of all religions?

    False. Your language is a function of your prior history. False. People do not have to break up in order to live together. I think it is good for you to say what you think and believe. I am judging your prescriptions of how to live, think, and behave. False. The antidote is not the virus. False...
