When I talk to ChatGPT about my beliefs it always throws around words like: Progression, creativity and interconnectedness. I don't use those words often to describe my own beliefs, but I'm not going to argue with the AI about it.
Different religions have their right to do what they want about this, however, it is our rights as individuals in America to choose the religion that best suits us. I'm actually glad that some Christian denominations do this, because we need diversity in religion and although this issue is...
I don't own a car. However, when I get my groceries delivered to me every month I tip $10 to the driver. Small price to pay when the groceries themselves are over $200. I also tip generously when I get fast food delivered here too. At least $3 directly to the driver.
First of all, it is so kind of you to do this. You've probably saved her life.
I think you're doing a good job so far, but, I would like to note that cat videos get hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube. You could post some funny two-minute cat videos with her and make those YouTube...
You don't have to be 100% for creationism or 100% for evolution. You can believe that God created the conditions to allow evolution to take place on Earth. We've been through this Moon. I honestly don't care either way which you believe but this thread seems to be mean in spirit and instead of...
Because I have explained numerous times why I believe what I believe. I don't really care if you think my arguments are valid or not, I have more important things to do than to "prove" the validity of my arguments. If you explore other parts of these Forums you will see many threads created by...
They say that "God is love" but if you actually question virtually any new ager or new thought person on this they'll tell you that God is everything. And since God is everything, God can be represented as love too. I believe that God is reality because I've experienced so much difference of...
I am 33 years old. When I was a young kid I had computer class where we learned how to type. Within a few sessions of this I became a great typer that still continues to this day. I don't have to look the keyboard to type either, typing is as natural to me as blinking, in part because of that...
How about an affirmative prayer?
I could see saying something like, "Let my passage through this whale watching tour be safe. Let my mind be clear and thoughtful as I experience this. I want this journey I'm undertaking to be protected by my positive thoughts as I'm experiencing this."
If you...
I'm a pantheist F1fan, I have said this numerous times in my posts, I create threads about my beliefs in pantheism and my signature also says that I am a pantheist. I realize that this very thread title is Question for Atheists but I wanted to reply as a pantheist.
I use AI to help me study religion. ChatGPT was able to tell me what process theology is in a way I could understand it. I tell it what I believe and it feeds me back information to help me study my beliefs further. It recommended a book for me, Process and Reality by Alfred Whitehead, which my...
I'm going to answer this question as someone who 1 - believes in God but 2 - doesn't believe in the "super"-natural.
I've never believed in the supernatural, and honestly, I believe the very idea of the supernatural separates yourself from God. Yes I believe there are things outside this...
Back to the Future
If I could go back in time to fix any mistakes I made and relive my life from that point, I would have gone back to early January 2013, when I first moved into Farwell, and I would have prevented all the mistakes I made which make it the worst year of my life. I would have...
Baha'is believe that much of the Bible and the Qur'an should be taken metaphorically, even if they agree with much of what they say about God. In this way Baha'is are as much Christian as many liberal denominations of Christianity are, who blatantly disregard many scriptures that say things like...
Yes and no. If you are coming from this as an outsider, let's say your parents are not Christians, you weren't raised in a parochial school and otherwise you weren't conditioned to believe in these things. Then there is no reason to believe in any of this. However, let's say your family and...
I would contend that there's actually more than one Jesus. No, I don't mean that there are two or more of him, but the myth of Jesus has been apparent in many societies within other cultures. Some Confucians believe that Confucius was miraculously conceived, in fact. I hear a lot of Christians...
I don't know what it means to "feel" like a woman or a man. I simply don't understand or can comprehend it. Doing things that only men do doesn't make me feel manly at all. And whenever I've tried to hear explanations of what this means, I've never been able to understand the argument...
