earlier a thread emerged, as they do so often, on whether or not god existed.
i stated that he does, unequivocally and without doubt.
i refused to preface the statement with the phrase "i believe".
Rem good point:
Regarding "evil" things, such as child abuse, a non-theist will look at the situation and say, perhaps there is a way we can fix this. The theist seems to look at the same situation and say, this world is crap - only god can fix this!

I think the whole God idea a important myth about man's increased consiousness, that is changing to more and higher levels of awareness, as man keeps on evolving, though natural selection.
.
the bible, (as well as other ancient documents) can help us understand the developement (evolution) of man's consciousness of his world and how his conscious thinking has changed.
it is a myth; but,,,,, myths, teach us alot,,, about man's progression of consciousness.
Larry,
Hello.
I think that no matter how intelligent we get we will still use myth, like the atom and molecule myth, the myth that we are just matter, the myth of the law of motion, these myth help define us as to our growth awareness or conciousness of the world which we appear seperate for some strange reason.

Doc,
The only way to destroy Satan is to collide him with an equal amount of anti-Satan.
I'll do the Math:
Absolute Evil + Absolute Good = Absolute 0.
The Uninverse is just a clever dividing up of nothing.
they say, that to make beneficial changes in one's identity, that to do it through the conscious mind, is often ineffective and extremely gradual.
but when one can overwride the conscious mind through subliminal messages more permanent and lasting beneficial changes occurred to our identity because you have reached the subconscious mind.
they say that through subliminal messages you reach the subconscious mind and if the subliminal messages are of a positive nature for good things they will produce tremendous benefits for you.
Phantom,
I clicked the link and it sounded to saleman like, I wouldn't put to much trust in these selfpromoting salesman types..
Why would God want to destoy Satan?
Translation: "Why would a figment of Jewish imagination want to destoy another figment of Jewish imagination?

But what have you heard?
yes, if we think of god as a "transcendant" above everything and then when we think of the biblical jehovah, we come up short 51 cards of a deck of 52.
he is so human,,,, come on,,,,, that to me is proof enough of the preposition that he is just the:
"figment of the jewish imagination"
Sorry Little witch I wanted to wait to post because, I was a little busy, so I just made the correction first while I had time, and then latter post with thanks for the correction. So thank for the correction, for I do think it more correct, perhaps I was being a tad to political in my choice of words.

and later many others like us, at one time imagined as well.
i woke up crying again just a little while ago,,,,,,,,again it was a dream .
i just can't go into details of all the horror, but will touch on certain parts of the dream that i feel the most able to talk about .it was about my sister, mother, father, (his wife named satan,) and me.
basically , i can say there was child abuse of my sister .......at one point of the dream.
There are some thoughts here I would like to share what I found on the internet about deams and thinking, here a snipet and kink: " ...the thought of (any fixation) ... puzzles the will, and makes us rather bear those ills we have than fly off to others we know not of. Thus (thought) makes cowards of us all, and thus ... resolution is sicklied over with the pale cast of thought. And (great, momentous) enterprises ... turn awry, and lose the name of action."
Thinking is an over-rated process. It can shoot ya down.
The Centipede was happy, quite,
until a toad, in fun,
said pray, which leg goes after which?
This distracted him to such a pitch,
he lay immobile in a ditch,
considering how to run.
(inaccurate; from memory...)
Ego-motivated thinking is all rehearsal and replay, which remove us from now.
This culture has given thought so much precedence over natural feeling that we've lost a lot of what makes us human. "Serious" thought about your psychology is "analysis". That separates your thought and feeling processes. The connotation here would lead you to ignore your feeling side. You'd come to a conclusion that would continue to ignore it. Thought and effort are not therapeutic. Better to be aware of possibilities and feel for truth --at the same time.
Thought has given us a multitude of good things, as well as bad. It has taken us to an understanding of the universe. One way it did that was to classify all living things to show relationships (Linnaeus). BUT...
taken too far, it gets the way. Instead of showing reality, it can begin to impose order on reality. The Eastern way would help us be aware of reality, but not show us the insides and relationships. Obviously, we need both; and there's nothing that prevents one from doing both. In a nutshell, then:
Over-thought can impose a false order onto reality.
awareness accepts nature's order.
Perhaps you've noticed that two beers or mixed drinks will make some people feel "normal". More makes people worse again, but two sometimes seems to remove just enough over-thought and inhibition to let something like their real identity shine through. Removing more thought begins to make one simply stupid, and other well-known effects. Then up comes guilt for feeling stupid, and self-criticism: feeling stupid for thinking that they're stupid...
I certainly don't recommend to people that they stay a little high. So how can you achieve the effect without the associated dangers, troubles, and expenses? How can you remove only the unneeded inhibitions, without losing tact, sensitivity, and respect; and without making a fool of yourself? Remove the facade you've grown. For the self-conscious (that's most of us...), inhibitions grow to the extent that we don't. And what's an inhibition but a self-imposed hurdle or limit? You needn't set limits on yourself, or accept other's limitations of you. You can do as you please (tactfully) til you feel satisfied. (If you desire not to do something, that's not an inhibition.)
That's what this essay is about; getting rid of shoulds and self-definers. Go ahead; you deserve the changes you desire. Two weeks to two months of practice, then the growth that will fast follow, will have you feeling normal without beers. Permanently!
