    The implications of God's existence or lack thereof

    Fascinating conversation. It's actually remarkable how far Christians /mono-theists will go to plot out and defend positions. Question though - surely even the most adventurous interpreter would agree that interpretations upon interpretations don't really bring much clarity - if anything, they...

    Doing anything, in response, works well. But for perfection, one must do nothing.

    Resurrection of Christ - What's the evidence for and against a literal resurrection

    I certainly respect that.

    Do you fear for this world?

    Was there a specific event that started your concern? Thinking back to 2012, I remember some .. people .. were predicting the end of the world ... 12/23/2012 I think it was. You know, however easily these thoughts may be dismissed, it still could happen. Like, if one those grand conspiracy...

    Do you fear for this world?

    Aha, here's a different angle - nice. I'm going to start a thread on Biocentrism soon. Please participate; there's much food for thought.

    Hey, what's up with you, Canada / Canadians ??

    Thinking about this thread, I wrote a little poem that I quite like: In Which These are not times in which to be offended Not times in which to feel entitled These are times in which to open and to broaden These are times in which to live unbridled

    Are you an old soul, or a new one?

    Suppose, for those who feel in touch with their 'soul age', there is another explanation for being in touch with such a feeling ... (and forgive me for often going into Buddhist territory - it's new to me as a commitment) ... could it be our "rebirth status" if reincarnation were real? For me...

    Do you fear for this world?

    That's pretty neat - speed dating without the sometimes formidable anxiety of personal presence. Is that sort of the idea? Obviously it saves a heck of a lot of time too. And, let's you make your own 'schedule'. Cool.

    Do you fear for this world?

    Hmm, this is sobering o_O I'll admit to having a "gut" feeling around the end of 2012; a feeling that something large was threatening. It's laughable that I cannot recall what it was or why. Presumably .. nothing .. happened. Just being deliberately spooky woo woo.

    Hey, what's up with you, Canada / Canadians ??

    Right on. See, I feel that all society's worst problems are, in fact, known and felt by all. It's how we each choose to respond that makes the difference. If "respond" also involves responsibility, then the way we act is how we show our concern. Meaning, the more who show no concern, the less an...

    The implications of God's existence or lack thereof

    I know. I made a bad mistake there. I've apologized to Lyndon.

    Human consciousness & intelligence - why?

    I plan to start a thread on Biocentrism. I feel it may be a breakthrough, though so far suspiciously received. It could very much relate to the thoughts expressed here. Check it out.

    Human consciousness & intelligence - why?

    That's awesome, and something I've not explored.

    Human consciousness & intelligence - why?

    I may as well state clearly what I've been thinking ... I think we don't yet really know what this amazing brain will do. I wonder if we will end up realizing that, in fact, we are God; always were. By 'we' I mean all life everywhere in the universe. I've long had a little phrase that I like...

    The implications of God's existence or lack thereof

    Lyndon, I'm terribly sorry. I realize how rude I've been. I was having a bad day, but there's no excuse. I didn't even really mean what I said, and you had to endure it. I beg your forgiveness. Spending any time in a temple, or as a monk, is always totally valuable. I was full of guff. I value...

    Hey, what's up with you, Canada / Canadians ??

    Yeah, I suppose this is what I would expect from the U.S. & UK perspective and I get that. The U.S. seems to be suffering from this endless Trump bluster that goes so quickly, that it's easy to miss something truly important. Like e.g.: I am so confused about who did what to get Trump into...

    The implications of God's existence or lack thereof

    Ah. I'll ignore the "nonsense" comment. You see, monks know nothing - they are trying like mad to learn, and to "get it". "It" being ultimate enlightenment; membership in the sangha - that's if they are true bohdisatvas (sp?) - most are not. Not many make it. And as for temples, well, ahem, they...

    The implications of God's existence or lack thereof

    (Stifles a laugh) .. Yes, isn't it amazing where human-made religious dogma will take you.

    Well, not to brag, but I can meditate instantly, stop thinking, and all is well.
