    Fortuna strikes again!

    I have two core theologies that will develop into two different theologies. My personal God is of that of syntheism. My impersonal God is of that of panendeism. Both will eventually come together to become monotheism as we create the Syntheos of The Omniverse. We will also develop technology to...

    Last time you went to church?

    I went to a Lutheran church last week for a Mennonite service and I'll be going next week for another Mennonite service.

    A religion's original theology.

    This chart is not perfect, but it does a good job explaining where religion comes from and how things progressed since then.

    A religion's original theology.

    It started with animism. Some religions kept animism, like Shinto, while others focused on the unity of God. The number of Gods went from the thousands as all things were connected to the spirit world, to paganism, and focusing on key characteristics of abstract ideals, like the harvest, love...

    Your partner's religion (or lack thereof)

    Too bad @Truthseeker isn't a widower like you. Or, I guess, it's good that his wife is still alive, but, if she wasn't, it would give you an opportunity to possibly be with him. I don't know. Maybe it is possible to be setup again. I don't know who you know. There's quite a few Baha'is on these...

    Who was Baha'u'llah?

    You're right. I was wrong. I've heard Baha'is I've talked to on Discord refer to their own religion as deistic at times. Deism implies that a God exists but doesn't interact with people. Your God does interact with people in the form of episodic messengers, so you're right, it really isn't...

    Who was Baha'u'llah?

    Ah, the deism inside of the Baha'i Faith. I believe in mainly two theologies: panendeism and syntheism. My panendeism side would completely agree with you. Nobody knows The Omniverse personally. However, the syntheism side would reject that notion completely. The technology we are using to help...

    Your partner's religion (or lack thereof)

    Well, to be fair, although my best friend lives in a different country, I spend at least a few minutes a day with him on Facebook almost every day. And I have been for the last seven years. He's basically a platonic relationship at this point. And he often messages me first too, so the feeling...

    Atheists: what do you think about all things spiritual/religious? Religious people: what about atheists?

    It doesn't exist yet. We have to develop it ourselves. It would be trite to think there is a God that loves us all and cares about us, but it's even more meaningful when we as humans have to create and develop this God ourselves. The Omniverse is already capable of producing a multitude of...

    Atheists: what do you think about all things spiritual/religious? Religious people: what about atheists?

    Many atheists are actually apistevists but atheism is in vogue right now whereas apistevism isn't.

    Atheists: what do you think about all things spiritual/religious? Religious people: what about atheists?

    Easy. To create God. Creating God means advancing the collective human civilization, populating much of the Universe and beyond, and developing a technology that will animate nature to create more of itself.

    Atheists: what do you think about all things spiritual/religious? Religious people: what about atheists?

    Religion is a way to find meaning and purpose behind life. I don't find atheists immoral at all but I do find them filled with nihilism, unable to tell me why people exist. On the other hand, those who are religious can often be superstitious and appear to be gullible to me. As a syntheist and a...

    What Type of Theologies Do You Believe In?

    This was a great thread I made which I feel needs to bumped up due to its inclusive poll I made. As new people filter through this website it would be great to get more insight on how people think and understand their view of theology.

    Your partner's religion (or lack thereof)

    Forever alone here. I doubt I'll ever find anyone to spend my life with. My best friend however is part of the LDS church and personally believes in Taoism. It's very interesting to talk to him because of how syncretic and omnist his views have become. The guy I'm referring to is actually a...

    Desire and pleasure

    No, sex is NOT God. Sex is a very tiny byproduct of biologically bisexual animals. It's only there to preserve the species and make sure there's enough DNA alterations so if, say, there's a massive virus killing lots of people, there's still some of the population that eventually becomes immune...

    Desire and pleasure

    Unless they are inclined enough to have sex but bottle it up instead. Most people do view sex as a need most people have. Being as old as you are, you probably don't need sex anymore, but could you imagine never having sex with your late husband? Unnecessary restraint of a bodily function is not...

    Desire and pleasure

    Sex is a part of being human. It's a part of nature. Restraining yourself from a part of nature that is healthy for you is silly. Sure, sometimes sex can be wrong, if it's rape or you're cheating on someone, but to me restraining yourself from something like that is making you less divine and...

    Absent of spirituality...

    When I stop taking my meds I am too focused on certain things to think about God or spirituality. I become a total wreck. I suffer from acute mania off meds and have erotomania and sex addiction without my medications, so naturally I go against the idea of God off meds because I'm too focused on...

    Absent of spirituality...

    I lose my spirituality when I don't take my medications. Unlike most people who think they're the second coming of Christ when they don't take their meds, I actually revert to atheism when I don't take my meds but become very spiritual when I do. This is because my meds revert my head back to my...
