    Abiogenesis or the Lord?

    Are you familiar with the concepts of deism and pantheism? Those are the positions I'm ultimately advocating for. Something larger than the Universe created the conditions that exist that we know of today. It's actually very similar to monotheism, except I would contend that the creation is also...

    Abiogenesis or the Lord?

    The Omniverse developed conditions for this Universe to exist and allowing abiogenesis and evolution to occur. The Omniverse has done this so we could ultimately create our own synverses, our own created places. As a pan-en-en-en-en-en-deist I subscribe to the notion that ultimate nature...

    The Exclusivity of Christianity

    Thanks for asking... In @Trailblazer's version of God, God is the king of The Omniverse. There is nothing greater than that God, which created not just all life but all existence. My idea is God is not built top-bottom but bottom-up instead. I believe there is The Omniverse, which is greater...

    The Exclusivity of Christianity

    You're putting words in my mouth. To many people God does exist. Again, if there is a God is dependent on one person's point of view. I happen to believe in God. But the God I believe in is radically different from the God of the Baha'i Faith. There are plenty of reasons to believe that God...

    The Exclusivity of Christianity

    The existence of God is an opinion, not a fact. Let’s say God exists and revealed itself to us. There would still be many people who claim that wasn’t God, or somehow refuted any evidence there was that it showed us. For someone to believe in God not only does that person need to believe in...

    The Exclusivity of Christianity

    Mickey Mouse is a definite character. Everybody knows that Mickey Mouse is a cartoon because you can see it and believe it. God, on the other hand, operates differently, because you aren’t talking about animation but rather “what is the greatest thing that ever existed.” Baha’is worship the God...

    The Exclusivity of Christianity

    Tribes are composed of people. We’re crucially underpopulated. Extremely underpopulated. To explain why however would require a little bit of faith - something you’re against. Because they’re atheists! So what? Most people believe that Jesus at least existed at one point. The saddest thing...

    The Exclusivity of Christianity

    Well, at one time, my thought was, that they were very contradictory, like if one religion was right, then all the others had to be wrong, which didn't make any sense to me because to me, they are talking about the future and the future hasn't even happened yet. When I realized this I veered...

    The Exclusivity of Christianity

    Well, it makes it a lot easier to agree with someone about theology if you have the same theological view points, does it not? In theocratic nations you can be killed for not having the 'correct' beliefs about God. I am not saying that is a good thing, in fact, it's terrible, but when people say...

    The Exclusivity of Christianity

    I was raised in a non-religious household, and both of my parents converted to atheism after I became an adult, but I spent the majority of my time during my first summer vacation without supervision on the Internet and studying a variety of different religions, which all has their own ideas of...

    The Exclusivity of Christianity

    Let me guess: -You enjoy watching the news on TV. -You need to eat something as a living organism. -You like to drink wine for its taste. -You feel good when you shower and it cleanses your skin. So essentially, everything you listed were either wants or needs. Now, I'm not going to claim that...

    The Exclusivity of Christianity

    It was @Trailblazer who made this thread and she is a Baha'i and therefore monotheistic. She probably thinks about God every single day of her life, as her God is very important to her. In fact, the very original topic of this thread was about the exclusive claims made by Christians and their...

    The Exclusivity of Christianity

    Not if you join a religion that advocates or tries to change society in meaningful and positive ways. I mean, it is possible to partake in religious activities as an atheist, but chances are, most people who follow a religion do so because they agree with the message of that faith. Most people...

    Had you done that you would have literally been king of RF. I like the touch of blue you guys added to the forums. It was better than the gray we had before.

    I never know what to make

    You can do that, but I prefer two slices of cheese per sandwich. One slice just doesn't cut it, it's not filling enough without two slices. Don't forget to butter the sides of the bread that are being cooked directly, or the cooking will be uneven.

    I never know what to make

    Ramen spaghetti. Make ramen noodles and instead of using the salt packet, pour spaghetti sauce over it. Easy to prep and delicious. Grilled cheese tomato soup. This one is more difficult but basically grill some grilled cheese, cut them up, put them in a bowl, and pour hot tomato soup over it...

    The Exclusivity of Christianity

    Actually, what he said does explain it. Although, there are probably some more nuances he chose not to include, like family and peer conditioning. All men manifests attributes of God. Baha'u'llah was just ahead of the curb when it came to global unity and prosperity. What God is, is different...

    The Exclusivity of Christianity

    In Earthseed God is less of a being and more of a concept, as change is the differences that compose beings through actions performed on and from them. Maybe the question isn't "why is there no evidence of God" but rather "why haven't you considered anything God yet?" Think about it. Think about...

    The Exclusivity of Christianity

    What kind of evidence would you need to believe in God? Obviously everything the theists write in here doesn't count. You might think it is easy to change your mind, but using all the resources of RF it would be virtually impossible to convert any atheist into a believer of any religion...
