"do u know why that happened" "no?" "must have been the work of god, write it down!" after you do that several thousand times and publish it with the heaviest poetic license in history, and advertise it as the work of the lord, people have no reason not to believe, because they didnt know any better and didnt have anyway to findout otherwise.
fortunately for humankind, today we do. science explains phenomena WITH FACTUAL EVIDENCE.
mickey i have read u are "born again" which i assume means u were not brainwashed with these ideas from birth, but rather u chose to believe a book of nursery rhymes. with this ability to choose, i assume u did research on every worldly religion and after comparing, objectively made a decision based on what was most logical to you? because if not, i have news for u, seeing how all religions believe their god is the one and only god(other than buddism), all you were doing was picking straws. every post you have posted in this thread, is simply quotes from a fairy tale novel.
can you form your own opinions?
i would love to hear you form a objective idea that didnt involve "its the lords work!" i would love to hear your actual opinions as to what i referenced in my first post of this thread about the logical explainations to the instances i referenced. also a follow up to my request about telling jesus about how me and you are right now wirelessly conversating, instantaneously from 1000s and 1000s of miles away. i am dead serious.
have you even had spiritual experiences/encounters? because i have. i have had many. and contrary to what u spew, they have led me to believe it is the exact opposite of what the cult leader talked you into believing. they have taught me to form my own opinions, based on my experiences and the knowledge i have gathered from them.
the idealogy i live my life by, is that we are all part of a collective consciousness. ever wonder why there is not a pinpoint exact location of our actual consciousness in this organic computer we call a body? perhaps it is because it doesnt actually reside in our bodies. perhaps our brain is merely receiver/tuner like a radio is to a fm signal, or a television is to a broadcasted signal. thats why i said there is no they. we all are we. do i know this for a fact? no. this is what i have gathered based on my PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. is there a god? i dont know. and neither do you. you think you know, but really you just think you do. just like every follower of every other religion on the planet.
your ego that formed based on external stimuli is clouding you from realizing just how infinitely amazing simply being conscious is, and with that in mind giving the credit to a external entity u call "god" is really selling yourself(US) short. attaching the word "god" to something you deem to be HIGHER than our complexity is completely preposterous. we are a god. you are a god. i am a god. it really means nothing.
in every one of my posts am i trying to force feed everyone viewing this thread this idealogy? no. that would come off completely obnoxious and seem like a mind control tactic, just like everyone of your posts. just because you blindly believe a book wrote thousands of years ago without proof does not mean everyone else is that gullible.
fabio i would stay away from any gathering of individuals that have that mindstate. in all honesty, unless you are in a university where you can converse with physicists and philosophers, your not going to find the open mindedness you are looking for. but luckily for us, we have the internet. search out and study many physicists and philosophers findings, and form your own opinions and ideas based on your findings. there is tons of podcasts out there also, where these highly informed and intelligent beings explain their findings. pm me if you want some info on some links.
