Re: Should 'God' be taught is school? (Non religiously)

Now imagine the possibility of consciousness existing as far back as eternity itself, with literally forever to advance into a state of being where living minds have evolved to acquire the ability, not only to create a universe within - and out of - the inner mental fabric of their very own being,....

Re: Good Religion, and the Good It Can Do

Hi Tesla, lesson: There is an ultimate truth. From a trusted source the truth can win in ideological guidance, however, purpose requires a base philosophy to guide ideologies. for this reason, I advocate evidence based belief as that foundation. Individually, we must have a purpose to be healthy. Re...

Re: For EoD, Define: Existence

I am telling you my logic is grounded in linear and circular form and it is true as form. illogical. undefined. paradoxical. It tells me your argument is easy to negate according to it's own principles and premises and as such there really is no problem. The question itself, "define existence&...

Re: Should 'God' be taught is school? (Non religiously)

you appear to be discussing Christianity. Yes, to a certain extent, that is true. However, my approach to spirituality is more in line with Hermeticism, wherein it is suggested that all of the world’s religions contain an element (a piece) of the truth. It’s just that Christianity’s framing of our ...

Re: For EoD, Define: Existence

Define "alone", we alone interpret the perspectives of others. The mind agrees with itself, but not always others. The bigger question becomes who sees more clearly. self or other. dare deny this, as we do not see eye to eye, and in hubris, the self determines its own logic true. but how ...

Re: For EoD, Define: Existence

You still have to define what you mean by energy. Indeed. I'll ignore your paradox because it ignores the 5 senses. Energy is difficult to define because it takes many forms. lets examine your thoughts. they are intangible, but only happen within the tangible. the brain. The brain being of a 'real'...

Re: Should 'God' be taught is school? (Non religiously)

you appear to be discussing Christianity. It says that there will be a new heaven and a new earth and the former will not remember the latter. That's the same as 'dead'. But you will not get anywhere in the quest to find God by arguing with the text of a religion. When a 'real' God is discovered, it...

Re: For EoD, Define: Existence

. 1. If you grounded energy as a generality then we are left with equivocation as nullifying the term making the argument a revolving circle around...nothing. If it were 'nothing', it could not be measured, nor viewed, nor quantified. you are ignoring the 5 senses. 2. If you narrow it down to emoti...

Re: For EoD, Define: Existence

no rules. And what is energy? Currently it is being used generically. at the core; motion is considered energy. while mass is energy conserved. Both are motion however, which is why E=MC^2. A more accurate description of the mass relationship can be explained with Q=MCp(Delta)t, where Q is energy, M...

Re: Good Religion, and the Good It Can Do

All religion is mistaken, not just the brand being promoted by Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, but, unlike the religious, I really have no desire or intention of changing the views or practices of anyone who chooses to embrace some religion, nor do I judge them. I know the harm mistaken beliefs do to those who ...

It should but the question cannot be discussed where arguing opinion...

For EoD, Define: Existence

I would love to have a debate primarily with you on this topic. Granted, there are many definitions, as, people use this word loosely. But, seeing as you have a unique perspective, I wish to make a proposal, and then see where the definition leads.I am familiar with many of Plato's works, and I unde...

Re: Religion? Science? Politics?

lol man I love Monty python. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson were going camping. They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said: “Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what you see.” Watson replied: “I see millions and ...
