Please do not quote to me from the Bible or any other text. I'm not looking for an "explanation" of what God is. How do you personally EXPERIENCE God?

I'm looking for personal perspectives and experiences only.

What do you suggest we call this new holiday? Keeping in mind that it will never come to fruition of course. Or are we even allowed to have any holiday in the first place while everyone else has Christmas or Hanukkah, etc with their families and time off from work?

Why don't we just go back to the Middle Ages when non-Christians had no rights whatsoever? That's not too far off from where alot of Christians want us to go.

Why do we have so many religions going door trying to spread their word and trying to "Save" people from being doomed or sent to hell when the buddhists, who are by far the most caring and compassionate beings on earth, never go door to door? I really respect them for that!

I can only see three outcomes of death. Two of them are hard to believe, and the other one i dont want to believe. I was introduced into christianity from my family, and at times i think i honestly believed in it. But as i have gotten older, it seems more like something magical, or made up than something factual. I've spent the last 5-10 years contemplating what's going to happen to me when i die. I'm not really scared of death, but what comes after death, if something does come after death. Basically what i'm scared of is going to hell, because i'm not living a christain life, like my family is. But as more time goes by, it seems more and more like it's just all made up so we won't be scared of death, or what may come after death. The only other things that i believe can happen after death is, that we just blink out of existence, and are never alive ever again, or go to another reality or dimension other than this one. I just don't know what to think, or do. Please help me. Thank you

How can FSM be so great, when there are bigger, better Pastas available? Manicotti is mighty, Canneloni is canny, and Lasagne is the greatest of them all!!!

Is it not about time people on earth woke up.There are no gods of any kind on this earth so why do so many people believe in them?All religion is wrong it causes more harm in this world than good most war & hate is started through religion.I once belived in Santa it was complete indoctrantion but eventualy i grew up.Religous freedom is wrong & it's about time people like myself put a stop to it.As a suporter of the S.R.L.A in scotland & loyal extremist against all religions known to man is it not about time we grew up as a nation.Islam,Heaven,Prophets,Gods,So called virgins,Adam & Eve when will people realise its all total & utter crap.Anyone that says he or she has seen god or mohamed is either tripin or is just plain nuts.Oh & as for those photos of mohamed the prophet with misiles straped to his body it caused riots all over the world people died how can you justify that?Islam is wrong and always will be forever & ever dust to dust bullcrap to bullcrap amen & goodbye.

"Several people in the modern world impart education that leads to evil ways. Denounce such education. Do not go after it. You must enquire, "will it help to purify my heart or not?" If you feel it is not conducive to your progress, you must give it up immediately. Only when you are able to satisfy your conscience will your life be happy, peaceful,and contented. Do namasmarana (repetition of the Name) incessantly. "

The above quote from Sai Baba, Does that can be said to mean Constant Contemplation on Godhood is the Ultimate Solution to all the vexed problems faced by today's world ?
