Religion & Spirituality - 12 September 2006

if you suggest pills or the doctor, don't bother.
my GF and I are very spiritual in nature and plan on meditating together.
Today, interestingly enough, i will be going to my first yoga meditation class.

I rarely have dreams. I sleep hard and wake up refreshed every day.
as a child I had dreams of "deja vu". they stopped when i was about 18.
I just moved to a new house/apartment, and things "feel" ok
...
I'm in a dark area watching the mid section of a naked woman (I don't have a body).
I see the side of her body, and in front of her, is another man (his head only).
He grins, because I know he's about ready to have some "fun"
at first, i felt that it was a reflection of me, but he doesn't look like me
i look at his eyes, and his eyes change.
the pupils start to go elongated, and i get a STRONG sense of evil.
then I woke up.
Felt scared and feeling very invaded.
Like as if that person was someone, or something that came into my dream,
as if he wasn't part of my dream.

Did they probably all partake in eating the remnants of the forbidden fruit? Or is the story and the origin of christianity based on one big illogical lie?

If I said I believed life is actually a big computer program like a giant video game, in which we are just characters, made by an advanced alien race for their entertainment, someone would ask why I beleived that. If I said I believed it because I had faith in it, I'd probably be thought of as crazy. My faith-based belief would be an irrational assumption or delusion. And it definitely be a hard sell to convince people that I was right.

Of course, my example is a bit ridiculous. But when I've questioned religious people, it seems that the reasons for their beliefs usually boil down to faith as well. And they seem to take pride in that. When put in a religious context, why is faith-based thinking seen often as okay or even praiseworthy? Why the paradigm shift?

The Bible was written by primative men like you would find in remote regions of Afganastan today. No wonder it sounds so barbaric.

The Human Development Index (HDI) was developed in 1990 by the Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq. It is a comparative measure of poverty, literacy, education, life expectancy, childbirth, and other factors for countries worldwide & is a standard means of measuring well-being, especially child welfare.
In the list of top thirty countries ranked on the basis of HDI, there is not a single Islamic country even though they control most of the world’s oil & the associated revenue.
Is it because the concept of blind faith does not allow for rational thinking which is a must for scientific progress? Or because of the intolerance practised in Islam - no tolerance for criticism or the other point of view, or the inability to accept that there is a problem (most of the answerers here point out to the problems in other communities or religions which is not a solution).
Pl do not take this criticism but as a search for answers.

Also, when did astrologers start tracking Neptune and Pluto, as neither were discovered until about 200 years ago (Neptune) and earlier this century.

If Pluto continues to have an influence on my life, do the other asteroids and minor planets?

He declined to throw the first stone at the adultress
He threw a temper tantrum in a temple, throwing furniture around
He encouraged people to not wash their hands before eating
He claimed, or at least refused to deny, that he was the son of god, a serious blasphemy

Sometimes weird coincidences happen. Sometimes when they happen, I get what I wanted, and sometimes I get what I didn't want, but actually needed. Sometimes I get what I specifically didn't want or need. Chaos abounds.

If I were prone to superstition, I could say that benevolent supernatural forces are working on my behalf. Sometimes they give me what I wanted, but sometimes they know better, so they give me what I really needed instead of what I wanted. Sometimes their ways are mysterious beyond my understanding, so it looks like I'm getting jacked. But I know it's really part of their Grand Purpose.

There are no factual differences between these two scenarios; it's just a matter of perspective. If you want to believe that supernatural entities are behind random coincidence, I'm happy for you. I'm merely pointing out that random stuff happens, whether or not you pray. The universe is funny like that.
