Buddhism, Shinto, Taoism, Confucianism, Scientology, arguably, Hinduism. Let's just leave that aside for the purpose of this discussion, since it is very complicated.
Evidence of God? Which God? I first contemplated God as an atheist. I've never belonged to any religion. God simply means...
Sounds like ideology to me. Violence is violence, whether by gun, knife, sword, bomb, bullet, chemical and nuclear weapons, fist, baseball bat, automobile, etc. etc.
Evil, bad, good are subjective terms. The Hebrew word evil, ra, can mean “bad,” “gloomy,” “ugly,” “evil,” “calamitous,” “malignant,” “ungenerous,” and “envious,” depending upon the context. (Ge 2:9; 40:7; 41:3; Ex 33:4; De 6:22; 28:35; Pr 23:6; 28:22. See here and here)
The KJV says God...
I would say that it tells me more about both but actually it doesn't tell me anything I already didn't know. No more than the 15 or so assassination attempts on Regan, Ford, Carter, etc. (Source)
How far into the dregs of humanity will fake, stupid ideology take us? All the way down.
Yes, but our desires change according to the environment. So, then, why would people desire to control others or be controlled by others in my very simple proposed scenario? The question is how would they do that?
Really my scenario has an alternative which eventually would create a new...
From a Biblical perspective there is Isaiah 60:19-22 and Revelation 22:5. Although I've never studied the possible meaning in depth, whether to be taken literally or metaphorically is sort of irrelevant to the OP. Biblically planet Earth will last forever and mankind will live forever in peace...
So, you object to violence? You object to war? You object to corporal punishment? You object to monetizing violence or the monetization of abstinence of violence?
Okay. How are we separated from God? I take it you mean Jehovah, the Almighty God of the Bible? Are your beliefs just religious tradition? Is there any rational explanation why we are separated from God, how we are, that sort of thing? Because I believe that we have been since our creation...
That is what the necessary capital I mentioned is. Robots build robots, so how many do you need to start? One? Then we're off! Robots can mine can't they? Parts and resources. So, someone who has more capital than most nations kick it off until it can sustain itself. Keeping in mind I'm not...
That's the question. Do we need money to do stuff? In this system, yes, but this system is obsolete. If a robot can do anything people can do, manufacture, surgery, service, et cetera, then people performing work for money to sustain the system is obsolete. You would need money to begin the new...
I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with Star Trek. If you are suggesting that this so-called utopian society would need a capital foundation, I agree.
I wouldn't. There would be no borders. There would be no value in the same way. No jobs, no money, everything built and done by robots. You want a...
Science denialism isn't a problem, it's an ideology. Science in the context I'm using isn't ideology. It's science. Like God denialism, i.e. Atheism isn't a problem, it's ideology. If people want to deny science and gods let them, what difference does it make?
Otherworldly? relating to an imaginary or spiritual world? You believe God exists? You believe he exists in this world?
PS I have read many threads on this forum but haven't interacted much with posters yet, so I'm not sure if I've talked to you or what you believe.
The Bible really only has one meaning throughout, which is harmonious. The meaning is the vindication of Jehovah God's name through the ransom sacrifice of Christ Jesus. Man's salvation is only a portion of the result of that.
The word heaven basically means high. Above. The physical heavens are above us. From our perspective, of course, it includes the planet we live on. The spiritual heavens exist "above" the physical. The earth was created to be inhabited. By man. The spiritual heavens were created to be inhabited...
You're not very convincing. A joke?
We have science and technology here. Now. We don't need Star Trek, per se. But I mean for entertainment some people like science fiction. I'm not really one of them. With the exception of Frank Herbert and Douglas Adams.
