This probably isn't for everyone but here is kinda how I imagine this state if you want to hear and if you have something to add please comment.

I try to see who I am with only my knowledge and dreams to describe my world. I close my eyes and see how far I can travel into deep thought and what associations I end up with. But it feels like I am actually going somewhere. Just like a daydream and the absence of awareness in the here/now. I try to visualize concepts I understand and treat them like a form of space or distance in this dreamworld I suppose. Then I see the new knowledge I am curious to understand like it is a unexplored country. It feels like the longer I can hold this focus dictates my ability to describe in detail all the knowledge I have gathered about what it is I decide to focus on.
I sometimes wonder if I actually can become the focused object. Not by force but only intention. Is it possible to transfer into the new focus and leave the old awareness?

How can anything come to life if it is dead? While laughing at the resurrection of Jesus Christ, evolutionists believe in a resurrection of all life from nothing. You all say "oh evolution has been proven" but really there are thousands of things wrong with it and if only one thing is wrong or missing the whole theory goes down the drain. Why do you still believe we evolved from nothing? That seems ignorant to me.

With the naked human eye, we can only see the Visible Light Spectrum. Instruments help us "see" infrared and ultra violet. We are "limited" to seeing only what we are currently capable of "seeing." That does not mean there is nothing else beyond those "visible" points.

Do we operate under a Comprehensible Thought Spectrum; A limited understanding of the Universe around us that is blocked from further discovery by religious dogma?

Do all religions limit our description of "god" by assigning gender and childlike behaviors like vanity, jealousy, anger, vengence etc.

If all religion's were created by men who possibly had ulterior motives involving ego, control of others and revenge, did thier version of "god" and "god's will" kill our ability to think for ourselves?.

How is this different from an inventor or scientist that decides not to tell the public about Infrared? (For our own good of course.)

Do we stop using true cognitive function the minute we "join" a religion

how come they even have the guts to condemn others to hell when their belief system is so messed up that they cant even figure out what god is?? some say he's god some say NO he's god's son and some say the holy trinity or as i like to call it the phony trinity.
this trinity crap is the most idiotic thing i've ever came across in any religious belief. and YET they tell us that WE are going to hell?!!!
it ridicilous how they come here and dance and call other religions CULTS when they are living in the BIGGEST CULT ever known in history. "once saved always saved" get a clue and USE YOUR BRAINS if you still have any, i'm sure by now from all the brainwashing they shrunk pretty good.

christians?!!! you need to keep your mouth shut and NEVER criticize any one whether Atheists, Agnostics, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Pagans or what ever else out there. until you come to an agreement and figure out what YOU worship.


thank you very much.

I ask this in the religion section because I'm still waiting for God to send me an email and I check often.

All I get is emails saying, "I love you jim darwin" from non-Christian women. Is that a sign of something?

What if you fall in love with a man and he is not in your cast system can you still marry him?
What happens to people in the lowest cast, how are they treated?
Do they have the same rights and priviledges as the ones in the upperest cast? or are they treated like slaves.

Years ago I went to a church where everyone was happy and the doctrine that was taught if you ask for Gods protection no harm will come to you. I also was taught both directly and indirectly that if I do everything right, read my Bible, Pray, save myself for marraige I would be blessed. I am blessed because God loves me but I have gone through some firey trials over the years and as a result I have had to reevaluate my realtionship with God, I have learned the hard way there are no quarentees and bad things do happen to good people.

My question is how can I start to change and be realistic about God and faith and How can I renew my mind from the false hopes and prentesnes that I was taught?

Obviously this can't be done,

but let's be realistic and say we as human beings study different species's DNA from the past, and we are able to determine that for example Australopithecus shares much of the same DNA that exists in humans, but that it can't mate with a homo sapiens.

So we find a 2million year old Australopithecus and we dig up its body and we do a DNA analysis, and find it has 99% of the DNA as a homo sapien in modern times.

Is this the breakthrough missing link of Evolution?

I'm just curious, what qualifies as a Missing Link or the proof of Evolution,

what cracks this baby open and makes it scientific law?

Does the genetic evolution of other species not count? Like Barnacles?

And a pre-emptive strike doctrine, don't give me that bs about 2nd law of thermodynamics, universe is not in equilibrium so, STFU about 2nd law of thermodynamics thats bogus science and you all know it.

"this is my son the beloved whom I have approved"
Okay people its alittle obvious they are seperate.
They are not the same person.
Jesus was not crazy and yes he did give us an example but not by talking to himself/praying he always prayed to his father Jehovah God. - This sounds right to me and logical.

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

So before Jesus will come again, there is to be a falling away, (an apostacy?) when is this supposed to take place, or has it already?
and does ACTS chp. 3:21 have anything to do with it???

Subject: Re: Heaven

Message: You need to get your history straight. I don't care about what you think of Constantine or translation. I did what the Lord commanded in the Great Commision and I told you about Jesus. You can hide behind your little translation theory, but someday you will stand before the Lord whether you wanna beleive your story or not. I'm not going to argue. I want you to go to heaven for your sake, but you know what. I'm not going to lose sleep over your decision. I know you think you're pretty smart and have it "all figured out" and I'm just a pesky Christian who is to weak to see straight. I'm glad you got it all together because you will need it when you choose.

Yeah, you choose whether you want to or not. You choose Jesus Christ or you choose the alternate. Don't beleive in hell? Too bad. Doesn't mean it ain't there!

It is said the hinduism worships 330 million Gods. God can be a man or a women. In Louisanna they have marta gras where the floats represent some of these gods. from the Ganesa, elephant god to the Vishnu lady god. They still exist today and they were recorded in the bible as being worshiped in the time of Christ.
All have a flood story. Does anyone out there worship these gods today? Are any of you Hinduism and who and what do you worship?
