Do unto others as you would have it done unto you
most of us abide accordingly

they who have intention toward the next life.....will continue
they who make denial of spirit ....will not

but for now we seem the same

but are we?

Is eternal torment ever deserved? I was wondering, as I feel as though no one would really deserve spending eternity in Hell. I am a hateful person, do not get me wrong, but eternity is essentially pure pain. I can't support that.

I can understand why the historicity of Jesus would be a charged topic. Much the same can be said of the various manifestations of the evolution versus creationism debate. But what is there about the 'meaning' of atheism that invites such intense interest?

Natural science has reached its natural boundaries (Dark Matter, Dark Energy, the absence of a Unified Field Theory, UFO sightings on the Discovery scientific channel, weather anomalies that have become a harmful norm). It's time to go back and correct mistakes! After all, further ahead the spiritual zone sits, inaccessible, until you took off the white gown of a physicist. But think: Why are mutations useful to viruses and harmful to cattle? Viruses do not mutate, but do change, obviously....

So, aside from a few moments of silliness is there anything wrong with what's presented?

(Some musings about religious balance, the eye of the beholder, the ability to understand other people's beliefs and the relative dangers of obsession with monotheism vs supposed idolatry)

It has become plenty clear that Muslim perspectives on religious concepts are often difficult to reconcile with what is perceived here from the outside, to the point that it appears that several words hold different for Muslims when contrasted with non-Muslims. Far too often that happens without enough...

I’ve just come across a poem I wrote years ago –

Heaven

One hundred
billion
years on
what will you say
to your true love ?

Seriously, there’s a great deal wrong with heaven:

No disclosures of the real nature of heaven. It could be like Belsen for all you know.
No life map
No glands, no sex urges, no joy or terror, no emotions at all
Not even desires, not even likes and dislikes
No meaning, goals, problem solving, point to anything
Compulsory adoration of the administration
No voting out...

The Story of Noah's Ark is as well known as any story if not more! But it's not to be taken literally and it's not to be dismissed as just an ancient myth. The Story of Noah's Ark has some very valuable lessons to learn and just as importantly, it's encoded with secret information that I will now expose...

1. Many now know that it appears that the ancient Hebrew Story of Noah's Ark was greatly influenced by the earlier ancient Sumerian Story of the Epic of Gilgamesh.

Genesis 1

1 In the beginning, Yahweh created earth and sky (or, heaven).

2. The earth was shapeless, empty and dark.
Water existed.

3 Yahweh said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.

So what does 'light' mean here? Well, we're told there's mayim ─ 'water', 'urine', but the first seems more likely; and it doesn't say qerach, 'ice', 'frost', 'crystal'. For water not to be ice, there must be ambient energy, so the EM spectrum already exists.

Thus Yahweh has already created an...
