Hello everybody of RF. One of the persons in the Discord server I am on showed me a website, Robot Streamer, and I've decided that every night, between the time I go to bed to when I wake up, I'm going to have my laptop stream shuffled music from one of my Spotify playlists. The music is mostly...
I remember my last year of high school I had a Reading class and the teacher pretty much allowed us to read whatever we wanted. I chose the first two James Bond novels, Casino Royale and Live and Let Die. Both are filled with sex, violence, and Live and Let Die even uses the n-word a few times...
I was wondering if there is a book of sorts that acts like a spiritual journal. It wouldn't just be a journal to write things in. It would be pivoted towards spiritual and religious topics. Like the first page might ask the owner of it what their beliefs are called. But going deeper into the...
I understand that but because the private forums are hidden I don't know what the other private forums are about. Is there a list of private forums I can look at and then determine which ones I fit in or belong to?
My favorite mod is now an admin. So if I want access to another private forum I can directly ask her again with no issue. Congratulations JustGeorge, you sure are active enough to warrant the power! :D
Earthseed says that God is change. All of reality is simply processes that continually change, but I prefer to think of God as reality, because no matter how often things change, it’s God. The idea that God is change predisposes that whatever changes the most is the most divine, when in reality...
It's fun to debate and it helps you understand your own beliefs more than it is to change anyone else's opinion. Just today my talk with @The Sum of Awe helped me clarified myself and why I think the way I think, and it also helped me realize that while both he and I are panentheists he doesn't...
The Universe is not a completed novel. The Universe is a novel that is still be written by the author. Eventually we will be that author, before the Universe ultimately destroys itself from its own entropic heat death.
Because it ultimately led to the formation of a nature that can be studied...
Individual things are all connected to each other. If you take one thing out of the equation it changes everything. So yes, everything changes. I get the fact that you could say things like "Hydrogen will always be one proton and one electron" or that space, time, matter and energy all exist as...
I would argue that the time dimension of this Universe proves that God changes, because everything in the Universe is forever changing in some way. If God is everything and everything changes, then God changes. I would even go further and say that if God does not change, it cannot really be God...
I believe God is all there is too, my idea ultimately isn't really that things are "becoming God" (even though I say this a lot) but rather things are "becoming more divine" with time. God has, is and always will be as reality, but our efforts are creating a more divine God. Do you understand...
You are one of the most sincere, open and honest people I've ever met on these forums, and I happen to agree with most of your beliefs too. Thanks for your participation in this thread, your vote on the poll and in the forums generally. I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts. :)
I not only agree with this but I want to add that the Christianity Jesus was baptized into was completely different than the Christianity people believe and practice to this day. There are groups claimed to "restore" the original church but it's unlikely they ever really did.
I honestly thought most people would have said one or two. And while I do believe that you may believe in option four, changing is more difficult than one might realize. When I read Religious Debates I almost never see one person changing the opinion for the other, even when the opposition...
I recently had said that monotheism is a contradiction because it is impossible to not be of the Universe yet be involved in it in so many ways. That's probably not true. I mean, look at the Internet. I'm interacting with all of you despite not being in your house. But exactly what does God do...
Everybody and every thing changes. In fact, in Earthseed, God is change. However, some people are more willing to change their spiritual and religious beliefs than others. For some people, the religion they were raised in is the religion they stick to their entire lives. For others, religion is...
