LMAO! *subdues her laughter long enough to type this and consider whether or not she's seen this before...* Wait, I have seen this before...Oh well, just as funny the second time.
As you can obviously tell, I'm new to religiousforums.com I've been a member now for, what like a week? and I think it's awesome. I used to go a lot of other sites to discuss stuff like this, but I never found one with such "spiritual integration." I think it's really cool. I've browsed the...
I think animals can be as spiritual as people, but they don't divide themselves among their religion, they probably embrace it for guidance, like those select few "enlightened ones." Animals are so different from people, but they require the same basic needs so it seems logical that they could...
That's a good point. I guess we all sort of intruders in our own respect. It reminds me of a clip on jibjab.com that had an american indian saying "This land was my land." and then all these supermarkets and stuff popped up and the people said "But now it's our land!" It's funnier on the...
I realize that most people take praying very seriously, but I don't think it's religious at all. It's just a way to collect and sort our your thoughts. The only person your prayers reach is you, and that's the most important person to hear them.
My religion, based on a book by Octavia E. Butler :rolleyes: is about how "god" is change. It's not an existential god, and the main belief is that knowledge and education are essentials for survival. Earthseed believes there is no afterlife or reincarnation, but rather we live forever...
Well, that's not totally it for Earthseed. It's not about tuning in to yourself or becoming enlightened. Earthseed believes that we are born with the power to do whatever we set our mind to, and to treat education and knowledge as the absolute nessecities they are. It's not about worshiping...
Sorry if this is off topic, but I didn't know where to put it...
I was thinking... One of the most commonly riducled (although highly provacative) questions ever asked was, "What is the meaning of life?" I have come up with a thesis that, though is very pessemistic, would convey that...
You people miss the point entirely. This matter is very very simple. There really shouldn't be any problems with homosexual marriage because it isn't any different that of heterosexual marriage. Say what? :confused:
The fact is, if the first person every to be married was gay, we would...
Runt, No I don't believe it is quite the same as individual taoism. Taoism believes that the so-called "God is existential, and by becoming in tune with it, you can acheive immortality. Earthseed teaches that the only way we become immortal is through our children and our memories. There is...
Can I take a hand at summing up?
What I get from all of this is Agnostics don't deny there is a higher being, but they don't admit there is one. And apparently there are a lot of agnostics out there. I like the quote many use for a "militant agnostic". - I don't know and neither do you! Do...
Reasons to Become Gay
1) To become rejected from society
2) To have multiple religious groups against me
3) To raise my risks of being physically or mentally harmed
4) To have less rights in the states
5) To risk losing family support
6) To risk losing friends
7) To risk losing chances...
Thank you, first of all, for putting up a post for me to express my beliefs that so few are aware of.
Anyway, my religion is Earthseed. More fairly I could say, I am Earthseed. I know of no other member, practicing or non, that has accepted my ways as theirs. Earthseed is a religion that...
