    Just watch it :D

    I'm sure I heard about this on local TV or news, don't recall exactly, but that it is only a humor show is new to me.

    Heaven, Hell, and Demarcation

    Not in hell but also not in heavens. Likely on earth where all of them can be present, or there is place in heavens that is neither paradise nor hell.

    Heaven, Hell, and Demarcation

    Job 1:6 doesn't imply Satan went to heavens to met God, God is all present and they could have met him anywhere. Also since Satan was cast out of heavens according to book of Enoch.

    It is real, I remember when this was a major news on local TV

    Yahweh first, others second, us last

    In ancient times and dating as far as into medieval age nations were led by religious authority and most leaders were religious or at least pretending to be. This changed, today leadership promotes capitalism and the rule of money and openly dismiss religious way. People learn from above, who...

    They speak dutch, obviously this guy was high, grass is legal there.

    The mystery of the Bible

    Introductory example: In the book of genesis God told Adam and Eve, if you eat the apple you will certainly die. The serpent told them they won't die but their eyes will open instead. This tells us the serpent was telling the truth since they didn't die, but I wouldn't call God a liar either...

    People leave the church simply because it's incapable to withstand modern challenges. Major factor is change in culture.

    Saying Goodbye, Officially, To My Old Faith

    That feeling when you recognize nobody is going to punish you :) But did you really wake up?

    Universe visualization software

    A few years ago I was using a graphics program which simulates real universe and let's you navigate it allowing you to see relative distances between the stars and planets including simulation of planet rotation and movements. Program is called "openspace" which is an open source initiative...

    Sleepy Tiger

    He sounds like say "yeah..." :D
  12. paradox

    Is "truth" personal?

    it's not as simple to limit this to reality, since God is supernatural being. supernatural requires experiencing it, I find post #36 a good analogy.
  13. paradox

    So... The Past?

    Nice word play but just like wee see galaxies from the past (that is their reflection of light) so does distant civilization see our past. Neither we nor them see present light of the other.
  14. paradox

    Is "truth" personal?

    I see now, you gave very good analogy. Taking experience into account makes truth non personal even though it can't be proved.
  15. paradox

    Is "truth" personal?

    If I understood this in essence means: What we collectively experience or co-experience about reality is true and not personal. We do not collectively experience God Therefore truth is that there is no God and this truth is not personal This falls then into my hypothesis 3 that truth is "well...
  16. paradox

    Is "truth" personal?

    I think your definition of God is what @PureX described in post #2 "what is" or everything is, God is, is impossible to comprehend. This is a solid truth but it excludes supernatural and it doesn't disprove it. Thus if truth is that there is no supernatural God then your truth automatically...

    Is "truth" personal?

    You can take a coup of water out of a sea and conclude no sharks exists in sea. OK, imagine pope saying this, armagedon!
  18. paradox

    Is "truth" personal?

    Any supernatural power which created everything, such as Abrahamic God or hindu gods. This thus excludes universe itself, things which exist in reality or concepts such as love. well said! if by "what is" you mean everything then this makes much sense.
  19. paradox

    Is "truth" personal?

    Imagine religious authority saying there is no god. Would you not consider this poof there is no god? In other words we would know the truth for sure. I suppose what you're saying is that they would never say such a thing because they believe rather than know. That we are either animals or...
  20. paradox

    Is "truth" personal?

    I'm sorry but I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by this? Yes but I think I was clear what I mean by "truth", there is no need for definition. Truth is either that we're animals or creation, which ever is true. Which ever of these 2 is true could change humanity in so many ways...
