Steve, That's sorta my belief also; I'm a citizen of the world first, and a citizen of the US second. My only philosophy of life is to "treat all living things with respect and dignity." It works for me!

That depends on whether there is or is not a God. But it certainly is not the other nations of the world. The US is far from perfect especially with the present regime. However, warts and all it is far better than any other nation on earth.

It means something that creates good relations among nations and among men...
True religion is the one that arises from a pure heart and thought.It is the true nature of each soul.

People pretend they "belong" to Christianity,Islam,Boudhism,Sikhism,Hinduism and so on...
It is just an illusion imprinted in their ignorent mind since they were born!
This is what we call conditionning of an empty brain!

You are totally free from any qualification or "religion"and able to become a fully intelligent men by giving up all limitations and be free for always.

This is the only path to become God,one day and thus rule the world!
Expansion is life,contraction is death.

Dont follow the wave of mortal men,follow you own conscience and intuition. :wink:


I like very much what you have said.
maybe we become godlike...

Doubt

The star within the lantern was extinguished briefly by darkness and I sat, sitting in the mind of the unwise..

I heard cries, and evil was fed into the world that surrounds.

I heard swords clashing and rain...

And change...

Kingdoms lost, dead babies and woman raped, as "booty". The raging armies of God scorched the earth like a hot broiling oven. God saw his victory and that was all that mattered... For God was evil like, all that he touched... God lusted after everything that he created. God met creation like a cornered beast and feasted upon it's dead carcass among his friends. The dying world was only a small speck in the stomach of this ravenous God... The perceptions were as such, the ailing God finally laid bare his neck and let his creation murder him... Smile



Religion, Rex...is at the hub of so much misery on this planet....best we finally get rid of it. Hell....as practiced by most these days, it doesn't amount to much more than superstition gone amok. And it is built on a foundation of lies and bullheadedness...so best it be gone.

No...the world won't be a paradise afterwards. None of us assert that...nor, I suspect, do any of us even suppose that.

But we will be rid of yet one more useless thing that divides us.


We find the light of God in the shadow of God...

Indeed! Maybe we do.




Then again....maybe we don't.



I don't really know.

Do you?

My bad choice. Instead, I would say that the sun will die out in a billion years. You can put that in the bible.

What astronomy and physics have taught us of stellar evolution leaves no doubt Sol one day will exhaust its hydrogen and perish, essentially taking out Terra as a byproduct of the stellar death throes. That's the way things go.

Actually this could not be taken literally. Remember that Jesus said the meek would "inherit the earth." (See Psalms 37:11; Proverbs 2:21; Isaiah 45:18)

Unless you were thinking their inheritance should be a burned out cinder, sort of like the coal-in-the-stocking myth, no?

OK, the citation from 2Peter taken from verse 5 says: "For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice, that there were heavens from of old and an earth standing compactly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God; 6 and by those [means] the world of that time* suffered destruction when it was deluged with water. 7 But by the same word the heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men*." Whether you believe him or not, Peter certainly did not think the entire planet had been destroyed.

The book of Revelation describes a series of events so profound that the result will be a completely new earth, free from oppression by preachers and politicians.

I wonder if Diderot knew how profound he was when he wrote "Mankind will never truly be free until the last king has been strangled with the entrails of the last priest."

* emphasis mine

Oh yeah I forgot. You can't really commit either way because it's against your reli-- , what I mean is that if you decided either way that might go against your beli------------.

Well should I just say it might go against the grain? (The vegetarians won't get mad about that will they?)

If these surveys are correct....and if the question includes something along the lines of:

Is there a God....and if so, what is that God like and what does that God expect of humans, if anything?...

...and a VAST MAJORITY do not respond that they are agnostic on the question...

...they ought to shytcan the survey.




Yup great plan Frank. Throw out the results because they are uncomfortable.
