Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

[Ben Dhyan]

So you believe all religions are founded by prophets?

Yes...

 

[Taylor Seraphim]

But it can't stay energy...it must and does revert back to matter... that is my proof... You on the other hand are saying that matter can be made to release its inherent energy and stay as energy....prove it?

Sure thing, would you agree that matter becomes energy when heated?

 

[Taylor Seraphim]

Yes...

What about religions like Wicca, Animism, and Deism?

 

[Ben Dhyan]

Releases energy...yes.. but that energy is reabsorbed in time...

 

[Ben Dhyan]

What about religions like Wicca, Animism, and Deism?

I meant modern main stream religions Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, Sanatan Dharma...

First of all, please do not assert that non-mainstream religions do not get be called religions.

Second of all, Wicca is actually more popular than all but two of those religions in the U.S. So this is very subjective.

Moving on,

Do you think these religions are correct because they have prophets?

 

[Taylor Seraphim]

Releases energy...yes.. but that energy is reabsorbed in time...

I must clarify something here.

Matter is MADE solely of energy.

The subatomic particles are made of quarks which are made of energy.

A atom that is converted to energy becomes energy with no piece of it is remaining as matter.

Are we on the same page here?

I have no interest in popularity of religions, only in the efficacy of producing realization... I don't care about prophets...only the efficacy of the teaching in producing realization....

[Taylor Seraphim]

Yes....

And when matter is heated enough it becomes pure energy unless it is cooled correct?

 

[Taylor Seraphim]

Do you think Wiccans are good at realization?

 

[Ben Dhyan]

Hmm...explain the set up..what matter is being heated and to what extent?

 

[Taylor Seraphim]

Hmm...explain the set up..what matter is being heated and to what extent?

Any matter at around 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius).

 

[Ben Dhyan]

Do you think Wiccans are good at realization?

I have never studied or practiced Wicca...what form does the practice take?

 

[Parsimony]

You can't have pure energy any more than you can have pure mass, pure charge or pure spin. Energy is a conserved property, not a substance in itself.

 

[Taylor Seraphim]

I have never studied or practiced Wicca...what form does the practice take?

Introspection and ritual.

 

[Ben Dhyan]

Any matter at around 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius).

Fine...so the energy of the matter is released as free energy..... next?

 

[Taylor Seraphim]

You can't have pure energy any more than you can have pure mass, pure charge or pure spin. Energy is a conserved property, not a substance in itself.

I was just trying to contrast non-matter energy and matter.

 

[Taylor Seraphim]

Okay do you agree that heat is the measure of entropy?

 

[Ben Dhyan]

Introspection and ritual.

Yeah....that's valid religious practice on the earlier part of the path ....for all paths....including mainstream...
