I just now read in a magzine that if we see life through our third eye, we spot its limitlessness........so curious. How does it works?

Did you know that if I had never studied the bible for myself...and even had other christians who were quite fluent and clear with the bible, speak to me about what it was written for and what it has to do with humans, that I wouldn't have any clue of what you are trying to tell me when you attempt to share your faith? For instance...this is what someone said earlier and please don't get mad I'm not trying to be offensive but here's what he said...

"Life is now { I am the life}so life is truth, the truth of being {I am the truth}. All roads lead from this point, {I am the way}. The I AM is most important and very simple. The I AM is in life now, you know this I AM if you can just *be*, but unworthy teachers have misled many. ~ : )"

Not trying to be offensive but can anyone who is not a christian determine much of what this means? I think there's a lot of people that don't like christians just because of this...opinions welcome

"Live in sin", for those who don't know about this old idiom: to live with and have a sexual relationship with someone without being married.

I never feared death. Perhaps that's why i never joined the xian cult or any other cult.

I don't relish the idea of a painful death (I don't think anyone does) -- so, like most people, I hope i go with a minimum of pain. But, death doesn't scare me. I find it interesting. I'm in no hurry to discover what happens "after" -- only because I'm enjoying what I'm doing here, now. I still have other things I want to do here, but death isn't always in our control. Few people get to choose when they die.

But, I guess I find death to be an intriguing "transition".

I don't pretend to know a god, and I don't pretend to have knowledge of what happens at death.

But for those who fear death without the protection of a cult and the cult's framework -- is it that fear that drives them to their cult and keeps them there? If they leave the cult or drop it, do they fear a consequence?

If you want something to eat, you should eat something. If you want something to drink, you should drink something. Soup doesn't make sense.

Imagine you had a really close call.

You heart croaks for a couples minutes and you have a 'near-death experience' with the tunnel and angels and God handing you a beer slaps you on the back and says "you see, I was real after all..heh heh heh".

CLEAR! *bzzzt*

You're back to life. You remember your experience.

Would you...?
a. run to your nearest church and become born-again
b. attribute it to some psycho/physiological condition
c. have 'faith' that it was just a dream or hallucination

I just find this situation interesting, since most Atheists say "God has never shown himself, so until he does, I don't believe".

But if he did, as in this situation, wouldn't you STILL not believe anyway??

Is seeing believing or is there more to it than that for you?

I realize the issue can get murky, because the empires the founders were rebelling against combined church and state. Was it the religion, or the state? If they could see the diference, can you?

If you want "religion" to be taught, put your kid in a "private religious school," if you want your kid to be taught actual "verifiable facts," put them in a "State" publically paid for school...Get it...?!?
Jesus, people...!!!
Even uneducated religious people see the point I'm making...give it up...!!!

obviously the Bible saying so doesn't work logically. So, am I missing something? Jesus said he always spoke in parables, couldn't Creation and the Flood be metaphors or just poetry? Or does that tear down the whole thing for people? Just curious, it seems it would be hard to follow every word of the Bible.

Recently, we moved to a small town in KY where everyone knows everyone. They all go to some kind of church together and they all do about the same thing. We moved here from GA and things are really different from what I am use too. Trying to fit in around here is very hard. I have two teenagers and a toddler. My girls have adjusted well and they are in highschool and they have friends.. But I tell ya- some parents are really hard to get a long with. They dont want anything to do with someone that wasnt born and raised around here. I just dont understand what I can do to get people to know who I am. I'm not a bad person to be around. I have three children that I am constantly doing things for. These people around here are so competative that it drives me insane. Whatever happen to small-town hospitality? I live in a neighborhood that they would rather stick their noses up in the air than say HELLO? After saying all of that... how can a person make friends with these people?
