    how do you feel when threatened with Hell?

    I believe when you die, four possible things happen. First, you turn and face the light, and get absorbed into God's consciousness, time stops, you no longer experience your own ego, and you are in a perpetual state of everlasting eternal bliss. Second, you turn half-way around from the...

    how do you feel when threatened with Hell?

    I think it's both. In the multiverse, every possible quantum state is realized. So in the entire multiverse you have free-will. But in the Universe we find ourselves in, there's hard determinism by the laws of physics and everything we say and do is predetermined. So God, is just a word that...

    The trinity is false - I have proof

    I can tell by your way of thinking you would like this video and the part about apophatic theology:

    The trinity is false - I have proof

    Think of the Trinity this way. There are two aspects to God: 1. God as in immanence which is a cataphatic or affirmative way to the divine as in "God is Love", "God is Beauty", "God is Good." 2. God as in transcendence which is unknowable, infinite, and beyond any human comprehension. 3. #1...

    GoJ versus GoL

    How are they NOT mutually exclusive. When you judge someone, you are comparing them to what exactly? People have limitations. A God of Love on the other hand, accepts people exactly the way they are no matter what. You could argue our Omnipotent God of Love is a bit selfish and evil because...

    GoJ versus GoL

    I would think man's greatest sin would be pretending to speak for God or to know the mind of God. This is no different if someone was claiming to BE God. I think this would be the height of human hubris. Passing judgment on other people is very close to pretending to be God.

    GoJ versus GoL

    I believe that there are two fundamental archetypal forces at play in the world. The first one is the God of Judgment (GoJ). GoJ perceives everything in stark binary terms, such as "good" and "evil," "right" and "wrong," and "you are either with us" or "you are against us." This judgmental...

    I was accosted by a couple of Born-again Christians while fishing

    This is my most favorite response in the whole thread. I think abiogenesis is just fascinating topic. I really like the idea of lottery math involved. It just seems like a process within a cell having a feedback loop returning the process back to its original potential as it's processing...

    I was accosted by a couple of Born-again Christians while fishing

    Life itself is evidence of abiogenesis actually happened. It's a logical conclusion based on the fact cellular life exists. Your argument is similar to the argument since there's no evidence non-existence ever happened in reality, we must conclude existence always existed because this is the...

    I was accosted by a couple of Born-again Christians while fishing

    Cthulhu is scary enough. But what scares me even more is the cultists who worship Cthulhu. It seems to me there's not much reward in that equation!

    I was accosted by a couple of Born-again Christians while fishing

    I'm reading through all the posts and then I came to yours. I have to disagree with you on this point. It's a matter of religion. In New Jersey, I never eat any of the fish I catch here. The water is too polluted. It's not safe to eat the fish. I throw everything back except bait fish.

    I don't know much about men. But when it comes to fishing, I am a master at baiting my hook.

    Question for Atheists...

    Facts. The problem with religion is facts. Religion is a construct of language and only exists in people's imaginations or mind space. Facts are what actually happens in reality. In my entire life, as far as I can tell, the laws of physics never falter. Gravity never falls up away from the...

    I was accosted by a couple of Born-again Christians while fishing

    I could not walk away. I was trapped at at the end of the peninsula with all my fishing poles in the water. I tried to not participate but they sucked me in. Plus was fishing for 5 hours. My defenses were down.

    I was accosted by a couple of Born-again Christians while fishing

    I screwed up. I said "exogenesis" but what I really meant was "abiogenesis". I always get the two mixed up. I was fishing for 5 hours so my wits were not all there.

    I was trapped at the end of the peninsula with all my poles in the water! I tried not to get involved but they whittled me down.

    I was accosted by a couple of Born-again Christians while fishing

    I was just minding my own business. I was wishing for anything. I was just fishing. One more addition to the story. When the guy said his name was "Happy," I told him if I were named like him my name would be "Curmudge."

    I was accosted by a couple of Born-again Christians while fishing

    I'm at the lake minding my own business. Fishing in New Jersey requires high levels of patience. I'm 5 hours into fishing and I haven't caught a single fish. I had a few nibbles but no fish so I wasn't in the best of moods. Where I fish it's a small peninsula and I'm fishing at the tip. So...

    Constrained writing and my inner precocious child

    There's a common Jungian Archetype called our Inner Precocious Child otherwise known as our inner Loki energy. With that in mind consider the idea of constrained writing and something Pope Francis talked about. Constrained writing is a writing technique where the writer is bounded by some...

    Why is this world out of control?

    Here is why the world is out of control. Unlike God, our universe and the people living in it have limitations. Because people have limitations, they have needs and desires. People's needs and desires cause evil when people try to get their needs and desires fulfilled. This is a simply...
