    Why do Christians accuse other religions of believing in false prophets?

    The kind of people who say these things will interpret the Bible to say that these are false teachers and doctrines because multiple times in the Bible it says that Jesus and believing in him is the only way to salvation. That's the entire gospel of Christianity. If they believed that a...

    What will heaven be like?

    It would appear as the immediate future as after you die you cannot experience time like people who are alive. Similar to sleeping. Don't get me wrong, I can actually write much better than this, and this was just a basic outline. Everything would be fleshed out much more, but I didn't feel...

    Without trust in God, I would have no hope

    Physics explain how the Universe exists, not why. And of course, a full explanation of why the Universe exists is a bit more complicated than just shouting the word GOD, but it's not really much more complex than understanding that humans in particular can raise or lower their status throughout...

    Changed my avatar. This new avatar is a Viking symbol that means, "create your own reality."

    Do you collect anything?

    Technology and media. I've got several dozen books, many DVDs and blu-rays and own all kinds of tech in my house. And I don't use all of it either, some of it is just there to be part of the overall collection. I typically use most of the media and technology at some point but I eventually end...

    Question about robots.Do you think they will be doing everything for us 100 years down the road?Yes or no?I think yes.:)

    I think robot automation will be used as often as cars are today, and that satellite working will become the new normal, with people earning money from what their robots do. As somewhat a liberal I believe every person born should eventually have their own robots that will earn money for them...

    Is Belief (or Lack Thereof) a Choice?

    In most countries, in most places in the world, people are faced towards each other and the question of religion and spiritual traditions gets brought up. Sometimes this is with their friends, sometimes it is with their family, sometimes they read opinions on the Internet and something resonates...

    ChatGPT's thoughts on religion and philosophy.

    Yes, I've tried others and they are nowhere near the same comprehension or understanding that Chat GPT is. I would compare ChatGPT to myself in vernacular and understanding, and the other AI programs to be the girls I've dated who would answer everything I asked in a few words or less. Try...

    Why do believers believe what they believe?

    The Baha'i Faith all kinds of rules, both on what you should and shouldn't do. Baha'is cannot smoke, drink, gamble, have premarital intercourse, gays can't marry, you can't beg as a profession or backbite, or defame people through lies and deceit behind people's backs. All of this I'm perfectly...

    Poll: Theists Only - do you like God?

    My belief is that God is reality. Do I like reality? Well, I exist, and the events of reality caused me to exist, and although I haven't been able to have exactly the life I had imagined for myself, I like the fact that I have a very comfortable life and don't typically worry about most things...

    Night Time Music Streaming

    That's fine. The initial thread post included a link to the Spotify playlist and if you're at all interested you can look through it and maybe listen to it while you're not sleeping. And I don't know what time zone you're in. If you are European or Asian my nights are your days, and you might be...

    Night Time Music Streaming

    I'm actually using an Echo Show 5 to listen to the music. I find earbuds unbearably uncomfortable for me. Even my headphones are over the ear type, nothing goes inside my ears. As for your question, I really like the playlist I'm using and enjoy drifting off while listening to it. I listen to...

    What will heaven be like?

    My idea is that I'll be resurrected in a new body that will never die again. By the time they find a way to cause massive resurrections of previously deceased people, we'll have ways for each individual to assert their own creative control on a whole galaxy. My eschatology is the same as this...

    Have you ever been seriously harmed by reading a book?

    Once or twice I got a paper cut while turning a page. Does that count?

    Question

    Well, I'm actually pro-life but I would be friends with people who actually had an abortion. So the reverse should be true too.

    I make my own religion

    I call this process autoreligion. I call my autoreligion Exaltism. There is going to be people who judge you for that, but if you can explain to them the reasons why you came to your beliefs, I'm sure most people would be okay with whatever you came up with. Or you can just show them this video.

    Why do believers believe what they believe?

    I can attest to this statement. I have on numerous occasions expressed my direct experience with the divine, and even say that other people experience this same divine reality I have come to experience, and she has never been so callous enough to tell me that I am deluded. In fact, I think her...

    Question

    I would be friends with them, but chances are, they wouldn't be friends with me. In fact, one of my closest friends is like this. She won't have any relations with gay people, and her entire family is very homophobic. It's kind of sad because she had to cut ties with decent people because she...

    Why do believers believe what they believe?

    This was a great read. Thanks for voicing your opinion, and I do agree with you. Although, I find it a bit sad that although you are a Baha'i you are still essentially doing your own thing. I thought you could find community with them, but perhaps not. Let me explain to you why I believe in...
