    Hello

    I can relate to this. I do what I'm able to make this life count in some meaningful way. Solitude has its own set of pros and cons, and it can be rewarding. It must be a growing frame of reference. I've noticed lots of people who understand this type of life as being more desired than other...

    Hello

    Christos comes from the concept of a "truthful Spirit" (spirit of truth) from Christian theology. It implies being anointed with truth, which is why it's obligatory to adhere to a truthful understanding and develop critical thinking skills. So, it's Christ "like" (agnate) in this way. It's a...

    Hello

    I'm a "Christos Agnate Evolutionist", which incorporates a panentheistic understanding of God coupled with acceptance of evolutionary development, along with obligatory adherence to that which is factually true, both subjective as an individual and objective as it relates to that which can be...

    I'm finding your reply oddly incoherent.

    Exercise as a smoking cessation attempt

    I had thought about using association and replacement techniques for a smoking cessation effort, but I'm not sure I will go through with it. The concept is for every cigarette I smoke, I would also complete 10 pushups, or sit ups, or dips. Then to decrease intake, I would replace a cigarette...

    Life Is Meant To Be Lived Irregardless Of The Big Picture

    Possibly, but I view this more as a refining process or conditioning, than a punishment or any sort of mandated suffering for wrongs committed, apart from societal intervention. It's a natural mechanism associated with adaptation and the evolution of the living, as I understand it.

    Life Is Meant To Be Lived Irregardless Of The Big Picture

    I can agree with most of this, but as we progress into what we're becoming as a collective, we each have areas that require more attention, so the "judgement" may be based on those specifics and accomplished through next life realities, where we learn and develop according to our specific needs...

    Life Is Meant To Be Lived Irregardless Of The Big Picture

    I wonder how long our sleep vacations might last? Honestly, I just kinda figure I'll end up being born again somehow, but without recollection of this life. If nine months in the womb equates to the time it took to evolve into what we are on earth from a single cell organism, it makes me...

    What does the bible really say about heaven? What's it like?

    Anyone know? I've heard stories of such grandeur that it could make a multi billionaire who lives free of worry with everything he could ever need or want, beg to enter into those heavenly gates. What does it truly say, though? I say it's at hand and present, but skewed and unappreciated...

    Life Is Meant To Be Lived Irregardless Of The Big Picture

    I view things in a similar way, only it's not so much an appeal to an afterlife, as it is an acknowledgement of the continuation of life apart from the life I live present day. I will presume mine ends when I die. I will also presume that I'll live on in some way, whether through others or as...

    If We All Became Atheists?

    Innovative creatures, humans are, technology driven and rapid in development...hostile creatures they are known to be, also. We watch sometimes .... Like kids discovering a new toy in their first box of cracker Jacks. I get excited over the little things. When I found out a new storage case...

    The Rise of Monotheism: How Did One God Become the Norm?

    Everything has a place in the universe. Thats why it's the all-encompassing "All" to which everything belongs, and from which everything is formed.

    Childless millennials / Gen Z

    Ours was unplanned, but not unwanted, although it scared the bejeezus out of me when I found out. It wasn't only wanted, but it's the best of all that has ever happened to me in life, so what it wasn't planned ... Who cares?

    The Rise of Monotheism: How Did One God Become the Norm?

    "All the gods were arm wrestling with each other along with those who followed them. After a long time had passed, a group of gods decided that one God was needed to rule them all. Of course, the gods are still arm wrestling today, along with those who follow them, but the big G God, ... That...

    Why Do You Reject Jesus?

    I accept what he did for his friends to save them from being slaughtered by the Roman troops. I accept that his teachings are valuable and beneficial. I accept Jesus, I just don't prescribe to the atonement theory for everyone through his death and crucifixion. People like me take up our own...
