    The reason why Christianity seems so unrealistic and naive

    By calling it " the real world" instead of *what you see* you are prejudicing your judgment in favor of what's inside the box.

    The reason why Christianity seems so unrealistic and naive

    Sounds like you are advocating inside-the-box type thinking, as if it wasn't itself arrogant and idiodic. But whatever it is, inside the box type thinking is average...inside the box.

    The reason why Christianity seems so unrealistic and naive

    Yes yes! Indeed...if it's your intention to decieve yourself. Better to have a true thought, and then test every other thought against it, including the thoughts that have already taken form as "the real world".

    Bizzare - and if you believe it, most think you are a crackpot

    Imagine a man goes to a multi screen movie theater and selects something to see between two choices. He regrets his choice. On the other hand, each movie gets out at different times. Had the man selected the other movie, he would have gotten in an auto accident on his way home. He thought he...

    The reason why Christianity seems so unrealistic and naive

    I find the best context in which to understand this world is as the dream of a self-loathing being who is projecting blame out upon a canvass of confused corpses caught in a conundrum of matrix-like matter that does not matter. Beyond all this is a perfectly sane Being whose life goes on as if...

    The reason why Christianity seems so unrealistic and naive

    Go(o)d is a Whole Totality. The experience of "the world" of time and mass is a concept expressing a kind of reverse pantheism in imagination. It represents everything that is not Go(o)d.

    I suppose a "good answer" would vary from thinker to tinker.

    Easter: The silliest story ever told

    If you were as free a thinker as you would like to think you are, why not go in the complete opposite direction of the evolutionists and "fade" their position? Instead of YEC, just consider that because of the unlimited power of Go(o)d, and because of Go(o)d's generosity, the devil has enough...

    Easter: The silliest story ever told

    So, i've mentioned that it is a teaching device...like a chalkboard. Generally speaking, the chalkboard is blank, because the lesson is taught without words. It could be compared to a Rorschach blot/test. It's interpretation says perhaps more about the interpreter than about the...

    Easter: The silliest story ever told

    Actually, yes. You are asked to know who you are with certainty. Simply start out with caring about being *right* about your world-view. Certainty will follow a right outlook. Simply be right, and zeal will take care of itself. You are asked to be certain before you succumb to the...

    Easter: The silliest story ever told

    Yes. But not Go(o)d. Not at this point in time. There is a big difference.

    Easter: The silliest story ever told

    Yes. Its rich in symbolism, but i would mainly point out how he approached it with an attitude of Lordship over it, which includes his forgiveness of those who seemed to be complicit or involved. He did not later seek vengeance. He did not take Pontius Pilate to court, ect. It's really...

    That would make you either agnostic, or atheistic toward Go(o)d.

    Easter: The silliest story ever told

    Oh, why crucifixion rather than some other mode of execution/injustice? Jesus, along with his Teacher, chose an extreme example of apparent injustice to teach us how to deal with lesser injustices. The method of apparent injustice does not matter that much except that it was chosen for it's...

    Easter: The silliest story ever told

    Reason is to change - motivate us to change - our world-view, those of us who understand it. We need to change our world-view in order to proceed to our "resurrection", better termed as an awakening.
