Okay, so essentially when I began astral projection techniques I used to find my body would get to the state where it began to feel vibrationy and such. Now I can't even get to that stage anymore and spend so much energy visualising and trying to relax that by the time I am fully relaxed (Even though i can't get to the stage of sleep paralysis) i am mentally exhausted and have no will to continue and choose to roll over and fall asleep. Usually I end up turning over and my body feels as though it's rested a lot though, but I'm stuck and could use more suggestions or tips or anything on what I'm doing wrong. I also find sometimes I get to a point where my mind blanks out for a second - but then after this second I am wide awake and mentally aware again. Can anyone elaborate on any of this?

I expect a common answer to be that "God is actually a simple thing", which in my opinion is confusing the idea of something being 'simple to understand' or 'simple to believe in and love' with something being simple by nature.

God would by all definitions be complex in nature since anything that has the mental capacity to know everything and the physical power to control everything in the universe is not simple at all.

Anyway, that said, if anyone can answer my question, (especially assuming that God is a complex thing), I'd be delighted to read it.

Do you know that God's grace and forgiveness takes it off of you like it never happened? This is the great Gift that Christ bought for humanity through His death and resurrection.

Why do catholics consider it the "one true religion". They were not the first Christians in the Bible. The romans murdered many of the early Christians, before finally deciding to adopt Christianity albeit with lots of new rituals. I'm not trying to insult. I just can't see the logic in the statement that they were the first Christians when they were murdering early Christians.

Any evidence that shows any culture that did not have some form of worship, perhaps?
Any evidence that there is NOT a Creator?

I doubt it, seriously...science MUST deal with physical, measurable, testable data, and when new data is discovered, science MUST change to accommodate it. (Those who cannot accept new evidence must face the fact that they are not intellectually honest...)
However, if anyone has any real scientific evidence for the non-existence of any Creator, I am here, and willing to listen.

Show me!!

I was excommunicated from the Mormon Church at my own request in 1980 and had the document framed. It is still hanging on my home office wall. I find it to be an excellent testament to my ability to accept reason & rationality and reject the supernatural.

Are there others here who have been excommunicated or removed from the rolls of their church and are happy about it?

Alright, I know that you all are immediately going to shout "The truth!"- but honestly, if it is the truth, why even bother? If you die and Atheism is correct, you cease to exist, so your beliefs in life have no meaning, whether they were right or wrong. But if religion is correct and you are an Atheist, you are bound for hell- but if you were religious, you spend eternity in bliss. So in conclusion, Atheism just seems like a lose/lose situation to me.
Thanks ahead of time for your answers.

Please do not give opinion without references to back them up! Thanks!

"…they were white and delightsome, but the Lord God caused a skin of blackness to come upon them that they might not be enticing to my people" (2 Nephi 5:21).

“The negroes are not equal with other races…”Mormon Doctrine, 1958 ed.pgs.476-477;1966 ed.pgs. 526-527)

[The DARK Race] ...became a dark, and loathsome, and a filthy people, full of idleness and all manner of abominations. (*Book of Mormon*,1 Ne.12:23)

[The White Race]...a white and a delightsome people" (Book of Mormon - 2 Nephi 30:6 1830 Edition).

Brigham Young's view of inter-racial relations carries a DEATH PENALTY!
In a sermon given on March 8, 1863, Brigham Young stated, "Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the AFRICAN RACE? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is DEATH ON THE SPOT. This will ALWAYS be so" (Journal of Discourses, 10:110).

lets see uniting as we believe in one god and we have the same evolution story of adam and eve except for some name difference like ibrahim and abraham and many like that many of them but there is a big thing that is christians and Holy bible have been changed from the starting as the christians wished they did but Holy Quran is not changed from since it was written. The Quran has chapters on Jesus but they are not same as written in bible everything is changed so the story of jesus can it be false in Holy Quran or the Holy Bible

-- the Jesus of the Bible cannot be
another "god" because God says
there is only ONE - Isa. 43:10-11
-- the Jesus of the Bible cannot be
an angel, he is contrasted against
the angels - Heb. 1:3-8
-- Jesus is not a creation, but the
Creator... the word "other" has been
inserted four times in this passage
of the JW "bible" - Col. 1:16-17

Christians are taught to love their enemies, and to bless those who persecute them. Do any religions teach the opposite of this?
