wow.. hard to understand, sorry.
SO..... IF "IT" were not so.. you mean if everything wasn't a void.... Nothing would change.
So, are you saying that everything is, or everything isn't a void? .. I'm confused.
Then you say... if nothing changes... then "being" doesn't change... well nothing...
Part two…..
How do we DISCUSS anything without someone asking questions?
Just agree with absolutely everything, even if it's wrong?
That's not discussion.. that's not even thinking. We might as well be talking to rocks...
Preachers want to preach and NOT be challenged. That's why so many...
I think it's way more important that you decide.
If you aren't trying to ram your beliefs down the throat of anyone else, your probably like most people and ok. But it's never ok to condone harm to anyone. Too many really nice people condone evil practices just because they are religious.

I can't read minds. If someone doesn't actually write something that makes sense, I can't be expected or bothered to pretend to know WHY or WHAT or HOW or anything.
You also cannot read my mind. You cannot "read" my mood unless I TELL you my mood.

Notice that all of is is about me having to defend myself for asking tough...
Why shouldn't we mock religious beliefs? Those days are over.
We don't mock the PEOPLE.. we mock the ridiculous beleifs.
Oh I know what you said. You said the "spirit" is not supernatural.. it's an "energy" or a "breath"...
I asked what kind of energy it is and why not just use the word...
It's such a common debate tactic from the apologist to answer a difficult question by way of taking offense and running away as far as possible from the question. I am not surprised by common tactics, but notice avoidance when it happens.
People are happy to pontificate all day long, but are...
It would be non snarky to ASSUME that I am actually SINCERELY interested in your answers to EACH and every question I ask, instead of assuming the worst.
How did you arrive at these wisdomies?
