    If Christ wasn't the messiah, what was he?

    It depends upon which culture and time in history you are looking at. People take symbolic meanings all the time and see them as actual entities. Take the idea of a nation state for instance. There is no such thing as a "France" outside of the meaning people assign to it. "France" is a literal...

    If Christ wasn't the messiah, what was he?

    Why speak of Wisdom as if it were a cosmic She? Why speak of "Mother Earth"? Why speak of "Father Christmas"? The answer is because it makes abstractions relatable to human experience, to speak of these "as if" they are embodied in these ideal personages. It's using the tools of the human mind...

    Does the US need a third party to take control

    I think the only hope of that happening will be if they crawl up out of the ashes when they their candidate for president becomes a convicted felon, is put into prison, and resoundly loses the election. Then maybe. They have to cut ties with the fascists who wish to end democracy.

    Does the US need a third party to take control

    We already have a 3rd party which is seeking to take total control away from the traditional Democrats and Republicans. It's the party of the soon-to-be convicted felon Donald Trump, the "MAGA" party. The old Republican party is just caught in its tow at the moment, but hopefully enough with...

    Ever notice how atheists are virtually always on the opposite side from God on many issues?

    I'm not talking about our discussion about ultimate reality. I'm talking about everything else. I shared about structures of consciousness, and you reply talking about getting high and fervor states? Clearly, you don't understand what is being talked about, even having the materials right there...

    Ever notice how atheists are virtually always on the opposite side from God on many issues?

    Is this what you say to your teachers when you failed their course materials in school? A comment like this says everything we need to understand. You have not once demonstrated you understand what is being presented, and your claims that you do fall flat on their face. Your responses clearly...

    Ever notice how atheists are virtually always on the opposite side from God on many issues?

    Before you chastised me for bring up my believing you were probably assuming that because they were adults, they shouldn't be at the mythic-literal stage. Here's what I had originally said in post 713: I think what you may struggle with here, is that one's biological age, is not an indication...

    Ever notice how atheists are virtually always on the opposite side from God on many issues?

    Just think about what that term means. It's not "thing" separate from everything that exists. It's talking about what is considered to be the "big picture". The "big picture" is not an object like a solar flare. It's a view. And it certainly can be supported by facts, as any philosophical view...

    Oh yes, they are funded by Putin, of course. :)

    Do Aliens Exist?

    Do you believe life does not exist in any form at all elsewhere in the entire universe besides just here on earth alone?

    Presidents ranked from worst to best.

    Take a tip from the Pharaohs of old? Let his name be stricken from all written records and his existence blotted out from all memory? He who shall not be named... :)

    Presidents ranked from worst to best.

    Wrong. Read the article. Here is who did the survey. American Presidents: Greatest and Worst – Siena College Research Institute

    Presidents ranked from worst to best.

    CBS did not do the survey! Read the article: Here are the results of a sweeping survey of historians, political scientists and presidential scholars maintained by Siena College Research Institute. Since 1982, SCRI has ranked presidents across 20 categories, ranging from integrity to executive...

    Ever notice how atheists are virtually always on the opposite side from God on many issues?

    Now to expand upon this, other theorists and researchers have developed this further with Beck and Graves Spiral Dynamics Spiral Dynamics (SD) is a model of the evolutionary development of individuals, organizations, and societies. It was initially developed by Don Edward Beck and Christopher...

    Ever notice how atheists are virtually always on the opposite side from God on many issues?

    They are mistaken in trying to take a mythic-level view of reality and creation, and attempt to make it a mental or scientific-level view of reality. You are correct. Creationism is false science. I completely agree. But what you have yet to show you understand what I am talking about is, that...

    Ever notice how atheists are virtually always on the opposite side from God on many issues?

    Clearly. I have made this point repeatedly to you, offering support from acadmeic sources showing how your use of faith is woefully inadequate, not supported by serious researchers, and how that because of your ignoring what I have offered, even in recent posts of the past several days, we are...

    Ever notice how atheists are virtually always on the opposite side from God on many issues?

    I agree that I have been clear, but am I being understood? The responses I am hearing indicate clearly to me that I am not. There are reasons for that though, and most of my posts have to do with me trying to find better ways to convey the context that is necessary first to understand what I am...

    Hypothetically

    You mean you're studying ancient religions by coming to us today? Do us a favor, go back another 2000 years, find those first Christians and see if what the yahoos today believe they believed back then bears any resemblance at all to the things they preach today. Then pop back in here and let us...
