Waiting on God(Jesus the Messiah)

:lol: :lol:

People generally can't stand the thought of nothing. The idea that they die and that's it freaks them out. The concept that our conscious being is just gone it too much...

 

Religion.

:? Well, I believe that energy is neither created nor destroyed, so existence simply carries on in another form.

 

Re: Religion.

but what about the part of your energy that makes you uniquely you?

 

Religion.

Use of the energy that already exists is the only distinction.There is only ONE "YOU." There isn't such a thing as some divided exclusive separate being that isn't already part of a larger whole of "beingness."

 

Am I the only Wiccan on the forum?

 

Religion.

No, you're not.There are several Wiccans on the board.The poster ladebabern from Mass is a Wiccan, for an example.

Yeah I agree, however it doesnt freak me out. Also most of it was created by primitive people who could not explain things happening by nature (if that sentence is correct :?: :idea: )

But I do admire the faith side of religion, like when my brother was in hospital, my mother prayed for him and I could see how much that meant to her....even though she wasnt talking to anybody :lol: (in my opinion :!: )

Not to continue laboring the point, but 'Sup is posting what I think as well. It needn't be a scary thing that we all pass someday physically, it's a natural cycle.
And the test I always use regarding the objectivity of something is to ask "If 'God' is actually speaking, etc. then 'God' would be able to be heard regardless of whether you believed or not, right?" No one doubts the objectivity of events in nature, because rain falls whether you subscribe to a theological view on rain or not.It can be objectively experienced by anyone.
The idea of 'God,' on the other hand is purely subjective,otherwise 'Sup would have attested to hearing 'God's' voice with no belief or 'faith' required.Does anyone really need to use faith to attest to the words being posted here, or can everyone who reads English see this?
That's my point.Thanks.

Sup, if you're not 100 percent totally sure that the statement you're making here is correct, then it's better not to make it at all. There's no way for you to be sure that Jesus "isn't" coming again. That's pure speculation and opinion on your part. It's better if you say, "IMO i don't believe anybody is coming again." That sounds a little better. :wink:
