Atheism is a religion like baldness is a hair color...belief in mythological beings like a god or a son of a god isn't a paradigm...it's a fear driven irrational denial of reality.

From this unit I learned quite a few things:
1.) Intuition and intellect work best when utilized together. However, in modern day, we are taught to evaluate based on reason rather than what our senses are telling us. I think we are selling oursel...
I think Open Source religion is just another way to get thoughts and ideas out there. It is a way to increase religious discussion about ALL aspects of the world and relgion. I think it is a great idea because there are no rules or guidelines...ju...
Signifying Monkey - seek and you shall find....
Don't talk to the MONKEY ... talk to the DONKEY (based on my "ASK YOUR ASS" theory)
"Seat Switching" (another "Hole Folding")
Make sure when you switch seats on the Titanic, it's on the LIFEBOAT.

"Don't quite know how that's gonna happen..."
The one way that it can happen is the only way it can happen and that is to demonstrate what works amidst all that doesn't really work. It only takes a very few, perhaps 5 of the right people to start...
Lori- its true, pretty much everything revolves around material and power. Like I said above, I think humanity will be saved only when all those things to facilitate more power, more toys, and easier access to laziness are gone. Don't quite know h...
James,
Lust for power is the way of the world anymore. I believe we have also lost ourselves to "he who dies with the most toys wins." You've never seen a U-Haul behind a hearst - you can't take it with you.
Lori you crack me up. I love your comment, has anyone seen a monkey evolve into a man? It reminds me of those t-shirts that show the "evolution of man" going from a monkey to a man and then to a man sitting at a computer, haha.
I have to agree wit...
Cally,
I agree with you that society has become so advanced that we are blind to our intuition sometimes. Sometimes we refuse to accept what our "gut" is telling us because it just doesn't "jive" with what we think we know. Does that make sense? ...
Doug,
I really appreciate all of your teachings on here. They make the most sense to me. Some might say that's because I'm "blinded" by my faith am seeking the answer that I want to believe. I would say it's because it makes perfect sense to me. ...
Laili- I feel exactly the same. I have friends that can barely boil water, let alone cook a whole meal. I think if all those modern conveniences were to suddenly go away, the world wouldn't know what to do! I remember when they thought Y2K was com...
Laili,
Thanks! It's a question that has yet to be answered and one I try to use when people ask me if I've "seen" God in order to believe in Him. I have yet to find an answer why it did stop. We adapt every day - that is a fact. But, to stop evol...
@james, ahh, I see. I think.
Beavers, in their quest to guide life toward a chosen path, have wrecked considerable environmental havoc with their dam building. Meteors have struck the earth, for fun I suppose, and caused massive destruction. To m...
doug, I'm glad you've found a story that gives you what you need in life - to be removed from the animal kingdom and its associations, to be a rebel against perceived scientific orthodoxy, to be the "good son" of some sky-father. To live in a worl...
gneognostic,
Imagine that Man is monitoring truly ALL activities and changes throughout life on Earth. With such information, he would be tempted to deflect anything seen as a potential threat. But that means that he is determining good from bad ...
Intellect and Intuition is used daily by everyone, sometime they don’t always help though. Society has become advanced with sometimes bettering our knowledge. Science has also become more advanced in lives and summiting proofs to different views o...
But gneognostic, that mosquito that can only live in the london subways is still only a mosquito. It will never become anything else. And it has devolved, in that it can no longer live anywhere else...it has not evolved...it has not gained any new...
Interesting discussion: Are we just lucky or blessed to be here? I vote for lucky but what do I know!

gneognostic ,
Well, I understand what you are saying, but how do you deal with "perfect concepts" like a perfect square that cannot exist in the physical. It is a concept that our mind grasps (not creates). Or the more importantly, the principles...
@gary, I think the quotes I presented demonstrate that religion can be evidence embracing. Many of the worlds greatest and most perceptive scientists, the giants whose shoulders we stand on, have been religious in various ways. Since the enlighten...
