Is there another form of being, such as, conscious nonexistence (i.e. a being that is aware that it does not exist)? Are there any other options that we can concieve of; or is there something else out there that cannot be concieved of? --- How do we step outside of "mind" for a different perspective?

All I know is that it has something to do with "Hermes," or some ancient God.

I'm doing research on angels and while looking up Thrones on Wiki it mentiones that they of the Sixth Order. The only think I can find on the Sixth Order is a ceremony layout (http://www.uua.org/worshipweb/services/sixth.html). Does any one have anymore info on the Sixth Order?

I am Muslim and feel like something is wrong with me inside. For years I feel unhappy inside. Is Bible really true? Is Jesus really way to Allah? I can't ask my family cause they don't want me talk to christians, but this is on my mind all the time. I keep thinking I could be wrong. What does bible say about jesus, how do I know him real? I have no bible, my family wont let me have one, so please help, what I do?

I just don't get the concept.

Could you help me to understand why you don't believe in God, or is it any kind of deity?

How did you come to this conculsion?

Is it religion that angers you, or politics, or cults?

Does it affect you point of view with issues and causes?

Do you celebrate any holidays?

Thanks for your info!

Hello, my name is Dahlia and I am located in Greneda in the west Indies. I am a student of spirituality and would like to learn more about the hindu scriptures...I know of some of the stories but need more in depth knowledge. Here is my problem. I have a hard time with the language and names that come up. I cannot pronounce them and quickly loose my concentration and am unable to continue.

Can you reccomend an online version of the scriptures that are easy to read?

Thank you!

I mean, granted, I have no respect for any idiot who gives his money away to the church... he or she should know that the church will line its own coffers with the money.
Even so, the Church and its flock should be ashamed of 'suggesting' a 10% "offering" from its followers. Why not pawn off some of the splendorous riches in the Vatican instead of picking the pockets of poor simpletons? There's enough wealth in the papal palace alone to do what the tithe is SUPPOSED to do!

NONE of my Asian friends (they live in Asia, not America) have heard of demonic possession. I told them the concept once and they think its completely silly.

Why does this only happen in Europe and America? Do Europeans and Americans go insane more easily? Or is it all staged....

What about Buddha's work, ...Krishna? Can I do the work of Jesus if I don't believe in him?


If I run into a church and throw all the collection plates on the floor and condemn all the money collectors will I be 'godlike'?

If a big powerful person made someone submit to an act, (let’s say nonconsensual sex), we call it rape.

If a big powerful person says, love me, my ghost, and my flesh, or I will torture you for eternity in a place called hell.

Do you call it Christian conversion?

I met a nice lady tonight who tried to tell us a bit more about her religion. I tried to push forward the following argument, that no matter what your set of beliefs is (whether Jesus was human, divine, in between, etc.) the main aim of religion is to encourage you to become the best person you can be, not to hurt those around, and, as such, be a good member of society. I was shocked by her relentless argument that, unless I shared HER set of beliefs, I would be "condemned". What do YOU think? Is an aboriginal person doomed because they don't share "the methodology", her interpretation of "the handbook"? What is the main aim of religion? To be a good person or to obey a set of rules and ideas? Is God the same (at the core of every religion)? Are religions like programming languages or (neck) ties, everyone chooses the best for his/her case? Please include your denomination in your answer, to get an insight to your background. I'd love to know what YOU think. Thanks a lot. =)

one says pray to Jesus for forgiveness. one says thats blasphemy, pray only to God. one says to also pray to Mother Mary. all three point fingers at the others explaining how proposterous and mislead they are.... and they all have a good point. all three say the others are hellbound. and where did the idea of purgatory come from? everyone discredits the other's books. some books were discredited by their own religion and left out of the bible. some say ask and youll be saved. others say we have no power over our own salvation. i pray and ask for the Lord to show me to the right path, but i cant pray with sincerity since i dont know who i am supposed to be praying to. i would currently consider myself a christian, but am waning in my faith and belief with every doubt. i suppose then, i am not a true believer. if i get baptised, and i'm not suddenly filled with the holy spirit and speaking tongues (did you?), will i know i'm not saved? im just supposed to never (or rarely) sin again?

Jesus did not know me, so how could he die for me. The Quran doesn't teach Jesus die for me, no where does it say that. Where did you read that? How do I know that true? Jesus never die, that was man that look like jesus.

Is there any one who in the past was an atheist and then became a christian? How did that happen? Did you become a Christian because your life was messed up, somebody talked to you about Jesus, you surrended to life to him and your life changed? or did you investigate the evidences and you came to the conclusion that Christianity is true?

LIke to be in love with your mother and father..
right?

why do i feel like i'm just using him.. Only asking him for things..
dissapointing him.. and expecting forgiveness?

Why does the Lord answer my prayers if i cannot even love him like he loves me?
How can he love me even though.. i feel like i am just.. 'using' him. Only seeking him in troubled times..

What did I do wrong, how come I am the one to be judged, why do I have to suffer this life that allows me to see agony and suffering-what did I do to make God condem me to this place where survival is necessary in order to continue to Love. I do not feel Loved by a God-I do not feel Loved by anything beyond those that Love me. My parents gave me life as a proof of their love to one another. They knew they could teach me the things I would learn in order to pursue my own happiness. I have found many things in life that allow me to enjoy JOY-to express hope and much of this took courage to accept that life can be wonderful at times, but that is my ability, what about siamese twins I see that have to suffer-or mentally retarded babies that grow into adulthood-too unaware to accept YOUR GOD-are they condemned? I question your God and its motives-why would he create to destroy? Your books describe ends one with and one without God-I didn't ask to make this choice, what am I doing here

If the Bible is false because there is no God and is man made and therefore fallible. Isn't Atheism man made, it should be false too. So according to the "law of non-contradiction", if something man made is prone to be fallible, which history tells us is true, why believe Atheism. Also, if you have decided to believe nothing because man made ideas are false, isn't this idea, which you hold to be true, really false as you have made it and is itself man made?

Please, no statements that science is always true, scientific mistakes abound.
