    Inherently wrong actions?

    I would agree that these actions are wrong in my opinion and personal experience, but I wouldn't call these things INHERENTLY wrong. Inherently wrong implies a kind of objective, or universal morality that doesn't appear to exist. For example cruelty has evolved in some species as a survival...

    Should I Go By "Doctor"?

    Doctor of theology? Sorry that's a joke. Doctor is reserved for a man of science in my submission. Theology hasn't contributed much of anything to human civilization in the last 500 years, besides arguably art and culture if you're being generous. It really hasn't contributed anything...

    Does God directly share knowledge/information with you?

    That's a non sequitor. Maybe God just felt like making preprogrammed robots. Nothing I said contradicted this. No,no, no. You're creating a false dilemma--either free will or a deterministic universe. You're forgetting about the universe where humans don't have free will and the universe is...

    Why does it seem that God never intervenes in Human Suffering

    Yes its open for everybody to respond to but many people here happen to think you show a pattern of victimization and a tendency to blame everyone, including all of the "mean" atheists. For some reason its always you getting "attacked" and its never your fault. Most people, including myself, are...

    why are we here?

    Hell was invented by the church to get ignorant peasants to pay more money. They also did it so they could control the masses--remember the crusades? THe pope said all sins would be forgiven if they marched on Jerusalem. Hell is a way to control people through fear.

    Pros and cons of attempts at perceiving many or all religions as pointing to the same conclusions

    Cons--most religions are contradictory--example polytheism vs monotheism. THe entire reason why there are multiple religions is because they're not consistent.

    Inherited sin: yes or no

    LOl that's not atheism, its biology and evolution. If Eve was made from Adam's rib then adam and eve would share similar DNA. You do know that the theory of evolution is essentially a fact for all intesive purposes right? Check this out from wiki...

    Does God directly share knowledge/information with you?

    Has it been proven that humans have actual free will? Perhaps we only act based on probabilistic models created by neural structures in our brains. This way we would act like we had free will, but we would just be following some mathematical construct in reality. It seems like a leap to assume...

    Does God directly share knowledge/information with you?

    Thank you for such a well fleshed out post and all the detail you've provided, but there's quite a lot here and im not sure ill have time to address it all so forgive me if I miss some stuff. This first paragraph will address much of the first chunk of your text. I've never said that I...

    Does God directly share knowledge/information with you?

    And how would this show that God is connecting to you?

    Does God directly share knowledge/information with you?

    Well i couldn't find the term, but I did find evidence of psychologists telling people not to trust their feelings. It would be nice to know thought its on the tip of my tongue https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/evolution-the-self/200808/trust-your-feelings-maybe-not

    Does God directly share knowledge/information with you?

    Its actually a solid choice, albeit an unusual choice, because accurate refers to the information people interpret from the feelings they supposedly receive from God. For example, people have often told me that these feelings from God guide them to pick the correct objective morals and to know...

    Does God directly share knowledge/information with you?

    How do you know this spider sense is from God as opposed to Satan tricking you, or an alien experimenting on your brain, or your brain malfunctioning?

    Does God directly share knowledge/information with you?

    1. Coincidence and confirmation bias. I'm sure many were not well guided by God. 2. I don't even know what the "truth about Community" even means. 3. What on earth does that prove?

    Does God directly share knowledge/information with you?

    Its basically a hotline though. God is an external entity and he's conveying feelings to you through some method. THe idea with the hotline analogy is that there is an exchange of some kind of information between you and an external entity. Moreover, this "insight" that comes up from the deep...

    Do you believe Sorcerers?

    I feel bad for you man. You need to realize that this thinking isn't rational. Try to see a doctor and get an mri to make sure nothing bad is going on. Please.

    666 nautical miles between the Kaaba and Jerusalem

    WHo cares. You can make the distance between two things equal to 666 as long as you use the right units. The distance between the moon and the earth is 666 x units. The distance between the sun and the earth is 666 y units. This is completely correct since this is how i established these units.

    If "everything is energy" then what does this mean?

    Quantum Mechanics is the way of describing material on the smallest scales. It still is a world of material, but the material behaves differently according to the rules of QM. Occasionally particles will behave as a wave instead of a particle. A wave, however, is still a material, physical thing...

    Does God directly share knowledge/information with you?

    This is mostly for people of the Abrahamic faiths. I've heard many people saying that God gives them certain "feelings" or particular information, which conveys to them what morality they should subscribe to, the attributes of God, and generally how to act and behave. I am always very skeptical...

    What is the True Purpose of Life?

    What I really meant is that its at least partially wrong.
