    Spiritual Evidence and Proofs of God’s Existence

    I'd say the spiritual evidence and proof of God's existence lays directly on religion itself. Does your religion practice generosity? If it doesn't, it's not being part of the divinity we all experience as beings who possess a finite amount of such. If your religion makes the world a better...

    Not Christianity, But Something Similar...

    That's actually what Exaltism is for me. Exaltist Ethan -> Exaltism. But if I'm going to use my own terminology, I'm going to confuse a lot of people who don't know anything about me. If you ask ChatGPT what is Earthseed it tells you what it is, when you ask ChatGPT what is Exaltism, it's...

    Not Christianity, But Something Similar...

    I have a belief that borderline makes me Christian. Let me explain. I believe that Christ was born of Mary and Joseph, that Mary wasn't a virgin when she conceived Jesus, and that the miracles that Jesus supposedly performed during his lifetime either didn't happen or were greatly exaggerated...

    The Random, Meaningless Announcements Thread 3!

    Attention: I changed my avatar (and signature) to Earthseed's symbol. There doesn't seem to be one unified symbol for all Earthseed shapers so I took one of the two that look the same. Also, it appears to me that either Reddit is down or got hacked recently. The website loads up but I cannot...

    What religions have you belonged to in your life?

    You may have not done that back then, but I see you quoting scripture from various religions and you seem to be very knowledgeable to many different religions. You may have been hasty to join the Baha'is when you first became one, but you are a very intelligent, smart individual who knows more...

    If there is a hell, what percentage of humans should go there?

    Oddly enough I fully agree with you. Just for completely different reasons. Death is like sleep, and resurrection is inevitable. I just don't believe it because the Bible says it. But it's great that my beliefs are supported by scripture! :thumbsup: Maybe I am a Christian after all... :eek:

    If there is a hell, what percentage of humans should go there?

    Well, causing infinite suffering for an infinite amount of time for a being that made finite mistakes might be the reason...

    If there is a hell, what percentage of humans should go there?

    Would you say that everybody gets past that hurdle though? I mean, the average person lives for what, 70-80 years, but the afterlife is forever after that. Are you Universalist as a Baha’i or do you believe some really bad people are eternally doomed to suffer in Hell forever?

    If there is a hell, what percentage of humans should go there?

    You don't find that this conflicts with Baha'i teachings about the afterlife?

    If there is a hell, what percentage of humans should go there?

    @Trailblazer As a Baha'i I have a question about your religion. If Hell is just the remoteness of God, then it would make sense that God is the source of all good that happens to a person. Would you say that God is the source of happiness? And if so, how can the atheists and anti-theists still...

    Abiogenesis or the Lord?

    Yes, overall I would say that we are very similar @It Aint Necessarily So . And if you want to call me a 'theistic humanist' that's fine. (Going slightly off-topic) This is the only part I actually want to correct. There actually still is a part where you can change and view this information...

    God first

    Pan-deists believe in the exact opposite. That God died when it created the Universe, and became the Universe. But I like to think your version of events is true instead. :)

    God first

    Are you one of those people who insists that the big bang came from nothing?

    Abiogenesis or the Lord?

    As a pantheist and syntheist I believe God is what nature is becoming. I use God instead of nature when applicable when I refer to ultimate nature. Ultimate nature created the nature of the universe. And since it seems abiogenesis might be replicable with science and technology, something I also...

    Abiogenesis or the Lord?

    The Omniverse contains all realities, so it is possible that a myriad of those realities has a being that is the “king” of that reality, and one of those “kings” could be YHWH described in the Jewish Tanakh. I mean, anything is possible, right? The thing is, abiogenesis can be tested. If God...

    Abiogenesis or the Lord?

    It’s more than that. Abiogenesis explains a very important part of God. It explains how God created life. God cannot create life without it. As much as I like the concept of God, the concept of creationism is so ridiculous that if that were the case life couldn’t exist to begin with. One thing...

    Which camp do you fall in?

    Science will explain everything one day, but in my opinion a lot of life is just random entropy. Some questions in life just don’t have an exact answer and while hindsight is clear nobody knows the exact future. If I put a Spotify playlist on shuffle I can’t tell you what’s going to play next...

    Abiogenesis or the Lord?

    I am not interested in powerless Gods. The God that didn't create abiogenesis or evolution has virtually of no interest to me.

    Abiogenesis or the Lord?

    God created the very fabric of all scientific discoveries we know today. Why is that so hard to understand?

    Abiogenesis or the Lord?

    I think the theists, including myself, is trying to tell you that God created abiogenesis, and that the two ideas are not inseparable.
