I'm still not quite comfortable attributing the generic term 'God', to anything that fills gaps.
Is the term 'God' really important and does the name alone serve a purpose? Can we serve up another term for an all-encompassing entity ?
You ever done psilocybin or dmt?Organised religious believers, yes. You can ask any "theologian" here and he will tell you what the best religion is. That's cause he doesn't understand mythology, spirituality, gnosoticsm or anything that has to do with mysticism where the sources of religions are. Before people get a hold of mythology and either take it literally or take it as a fairy tale, the purpose of it is to convey specific symbolic meanings. Roylion is well read on the historical Jesus and will sight many Yeshus that could roughly comprise the historical Jesus. He has even gone so far as to suggest that the end is a compilation of a number of them.
Within Gnosticism, the Iliad and the Aenid are considered esoteric works. As is Dante's Divine Comedy. As is the symbology contained within works of art by da Vinci and botecelli.
And there is Gnosis within ancient religions that are now considered to be fairy tales. Thor, the Son of God, giver of Light, slayer of dragons (like St George, he slayed his egos). Thor was the symbol of the Nordic Christic principle.
The Bible is mythology that was the best means of communication for its time. They didn't have the internet. It's been doctored, misinterpreted, loses much in translation anyway and had many known works left out. It certainly does not have a mortgage on devine work, whether it be literature, music, art etc.
This is why i no longer get into any "my religion is the best" argument with anyone, understand that no "religion" has a copyright on mysticism where all religions originate. the reason for the mythological Jesus is to intertwine critical symbology into the teachings. The symbological meanings can only be comprehended within the superior levels of consciousness as explained in detail in the Kabbalah's 'Tree of Life'. The Christmas Tree you will see today is an ancient Germanic symbol for the 'Tree of Life' which appears in ALL religions in different forms (Buddha got enlightened under a Bodhi Tree, that tree is merely symbolic)
there is serious work being undertaken,that is finally looking into early hominids and Psilocybin.
They know our brain mass doubled within a million years,how did this occur,Magic mushrooms it is thought,they know that on the African savanna,the animals that reside and did reside there in early times produced faecal matter that give rise to fungus’ that produce psilocybin.
Have you ever had psilocybin?
I have and I highly recommend it for people that are highly psychologically I tune with themselves,otherwise maybe not,it can tend to flip people out that aren’t very in tune!
Me too
I'm a Petersonite. Does that count?Can we have an ask a (insert other religion) thread?
Are you still religious after 104 pages?I saw the thread on here ask a communist and I thought as a Christian I would put up a similar thread to answer question as I consider myself a fairly middle of the road Christian.
Before I start answering questions I just wanted to state a few things.
This thread is NOT for a debate between Christian and atheists for that please use another thread
I am here to answer more general questions rather than get into deep theological discussions
I will aim to reply in a timely manner but I work full time and have other commitments so I apologise if I don't reply straight away.
I will be respectful and polite towards people no matter what their views and beliefs are so I would appreciate the same in return.
Please keep it to a maximum of 3 questions per post and wait for those to be responded to before posting more.
Feel free to fire away with any questions.

You’ve always struck me as a hallucinogen!I was discussing this with my cousin the other week.
A giraffe .
Although I think we were discussing a recyclebin
For the mushroom stems.

Better than pretending to have all answers!Atheists only ask questions so as to give you their pre-conceived answers.....Lets call it the Faustian complex.
I don't claim to have all the answers but I don't think Atheists do either.Better than pretending to have all answers!

I didn’t say you did.I don't claim to have all the answers but I don't think Atheists do either.
Atheism is a lack of belief,how does that masquerade as anything?I believe that's a given.....Especially if the stuff Chelsea posts, masquerading as insight & profundity, is anything to go by.
A lack of belief isn't the same as a lack of anything to say!Atheism is a lack of belief,how does that masquerade as anything?
That’s a ripsnorter Shan,I might use that one day,when I’m lacking something to say.A lack of belief isn't the same as a lack of anything to say!
Ha ha ha!You’ve always struck me as a hallucinogen!

How did god create Australopithecus? It only walked this earth circa 3 million years ago. Why was it not here last year or 4.5 billion years ago?
I see a clear transition of species in every genus. For creationism to be possible Homo habilis, ergaster, erectus, antessor, heidelbergensis and neanderthal would all have to be simultaneously created all on the 7th day.... which was only 6000yrs ago.
Are these people ******* crazy? The obvious answer is yes.
