Good on you DS, I'd hate to think how I'd cope...not well I reckon, you can still work though?
I didn't lurk for the first couple of weeks and when I did I wasn't to impressed... It's a strange beast this forum from the outside looking in it can be a sad affair at times, but when you are involved balls deep its satirical and cutting edge
But the truth be known its a great stress relief for me and a welcome escape from the paperwork.

that's where derren browns experiment was so fun
Because atheists are easily lead believers too
so to turn one around in quater of a hour without mentioning god or and such concept was always going to be too easy

Sorry, are you talking about Christianity or Rastafarianism here?

Either way, who can begrudge anyone happiness? I'm happy for my Christian friends and family who have found happiness. Though, how they managed it, I cannot comprehend. I eventually found Christianity to be ultimately anti-happiness. How can you be happy in yourself if you fundamentally believe that you are a fallen, broken, sinful being?

That's a misinterpretation of Christ's message in my opinion.

May I suggest reading 'The hidden wisdom in the Holy Bible' by Geoffrey Hodson? Copies were available 2nd hand on Amazon last time I looked.

So now we are going to misquote in the bid to "score" points. All three of us knew what each other meant.

So I don't think the problem was in the message but the reception in your case.

Downsouth, this is what you said^ ... which is to agree that the real re belief in God is "I don't know' ... and that belief that God does or does not exist is blind belief.

I was pointing out there are other possibilities not included in your statement e.g. belief that is not 'blind'

Go ahead and make the case that you were not saying that all belief in God or belief that God does not exist is 'blind' if you want to, but the problem there is that you said that THE 'real answer's "I don't know" .... rather than 'one of the real answers'.

It's not for me to judge what's in the hearts of church goers, many of them seem sincere but the whole enterprise is overly worldly and I don't agree with their doctrinal dogma... for example the idea you were talking about that we are sinners who fell from grace etc... just for a start.

Many are of course charlatans of the first of the first order.

actually it's some kind of blending of other idols and deities into other cultures and religions . . i think in in indian religion you have a god or diety worshiped with three faces i think, i'm pretty sure that's a lot older. .

if you bring that back you can bring it back to brahma vishnu and Shiva who held three primary goals create survive and destroy - brahma creator vishnu as preserver and shiva whose. . function was to complete stop or end or destroy - or was mainly seen as being able to do that ... . these concepts you ca find back in life . .
It's observable . . something comes to life is created survives carries on . . or is preserved - it dies stops ends is destroyed . it doesn't only relate to "life" you can also find it back in your work for example. or anything really .. it's an observabe manifestion or concept. .

yeh h .. but the " trimurti" or trinity. ..i guess can be traced back to the vedas they are the fundamental religious sctriptures of hinduism. . And catholocism you have the father the spirit etc .. and and they are a shadow definiton of the hindu trinity . . namely the father as " creator" son as "proceeder" which you can . kind of compare to preserver. . they're both kinda trying to proceed help or survive something along - and the holy ghost i wouldn't have a clue but that there is a resemblance in connotation in the concepts i seemed pretty clear to me cart.t be furked really delving into it but there is a resemblance . .They just tried to make it clear as mud .Any way that's what i think any way.
