No one dislikes you because they haven't seen you in person. They disagree with your "theorems and proofs" because they don't prove anything and are full of circular reasoning.
Stop trying to be "smart" and just start trying to be You.

I can promise you one thing, As a A-sexual person I do not have sexSo no worries there buddy
Your an Ace? No way.
That's not true. Someone who loves you would be willing to point out your flaws and mistakes as well as gently showing you ways to correct them.
Still not something to brag about friend.

While sex.is a good thing. There are multiple expressions of true love, that don't require sex. Compassion, understanding, a caress in the dark at night.

Good for you.
My screwy relationships are due to insecure attachment issues. As well as trauma and moral damage.

It is not meant to be easy maybe? For me I found more happiness alone
But that is not for everyone to do of course
It is not meant to be easy maybe? For me I found more happiness alone
I can be alone or with a partner.
But being with a partner gives me more emotional stability. As I like to discuss what I am feeling and thinking with my partner. As I am liable to overreact to them otherwise.
Some people are truly better off by themselves and there is nothing wrong with that, as long as it is bringing you serenity.

EGO gets in the way of so much learning. If you narrow your vision to the smallest of boxes where you think you know all that exists within your box, you will, one day Discover that there was something you missed all along.
Do not allow your Ego to blind you to what is staring you in the face. So much more exists beyond that box you have created for yourself than you can imagine.
What is the first thing a person realizes once a person truly becomes wise? Anybody? Anybody? The first thing a person realizes once a person truly becomes wise is that there is so much more to learn!!
Are you claiming Jesus knew it all? If Jesus really was perfect, knew it all, and totally reflected God, why did Jesus make such an outstanding mistake that he did???
The Bible does not reflect God. It reflects mankind. Since this so, why did Jesus fail to write his own holy book??? For a know it all, this is a Big Mistake.
When one acquires enough knowledge and understanding, one reaches a Higher Level. This is the point where a physical body is no longer needed for those lessons. Clearly, Jesus was not at this level. On the other hand, since no one actually knew Jesus and all that is written about Jesus is hearsay, I can not really make any determinations without Jesus's actions clearly known. From what is written, Jesus being perfect and knowing it all clearly is not true.
Truth should never be determined from sex, what feels good or right nor from what one wants truth to be. It's so easy to wander off the path toward truth if one allows that Ego to get in the way. It has never ever been about what beliefs one believes or creates. It's about what actually exists!!!
Everything about God will add up perfectly. Stop accepting and ask the million questions a hungry student asks along the journey to Discover the Real Truth.
Math!! Do not fall below the base that everything about God must add up. To do so will wander you away.
Open your eyes. See the flaws so you can avoid all the pitfalls. All the secrets of God and the universe stare us all in the face. God isn't just giving out all the answers, however God isn't hiding anything either. Perhaps, it's all a test of Intelligence. Let's show God what we are really capable of.
God's greatest moment is when that light bulb goes off over one of His children's heads and they Understand!! This can be about any subject not just about God. Yes, it's all in your capable hands!!
That's what I see. It's very clear!!
What, exactly is "staring you in the face"?
What specifically do you have in mind?
What exactly is a "Higher Level"? What is it "higher" than? How can anyone tell?
You can't learn anything without a functioning brain. Nor would you want to without the stimulus of those biochemicals which generate our emotions. So on the basis of what evidence do you make this claim?
I define "truth" as a property of statements, and a statement is true to the extent that it corresponds with / accurately reflects objective reality.
What definition of "truth" do you use, and thus what is your test for whether some or other statement is true or not?
When you say "god", do you intend to denote an imaginary or purely conceptual being? Or do you intend to denote a being with objective existence, in which case what objective test will tell us whether any real candidate is God or not?

What's the basis of this assumption? How is knowledge measureable?
This premise has no validation ability.
The amount of knowledge is an unknown (both total and current).
How is love relevant?
I would say the less education, the more mistakes are accepted as facts.
Really? How would you define love?
And how do you deal with sex that is out of abuse? is it an abusive love? (which completely contradict the idea of love)
This means your paper is not successful enough in proving its point

All the knowledge, answers, and secrets of the universe stare us all in the face. How long did mankind watch birds fly before they figured out how? It was there all along.
A Higher Level of Intelligence: When one understands, one will realize all those petty things mankind holds so dear will never be the best choices.
We are all Spiritual beings in our true natures. Our physical bodies are no more than our transportation in this physical world. The physical body is not doing the thinking and feeling. I have direct experience to this.
You do not understand. Each must Discover for themselves what Truth is and what the best choices really are. This is something no one does for you. This is what the journey is all about, Learning and Growing, thus Discovering for yourself.
God is actually Someone!! Strange as this might sound, you already know God whether you know you know or not. Since it has never ever been about believing, it doesn't matter whether you believe God exists or not. You will already know God when to see God next.
That's what I see. It's very clear!!

Yes, this confirms Jesus made a mistake. The only thing that was right in the film is that God is Unconditional Love. From there he tries to make that holy book fit ignoring the conditions that holy book teaches. Further, all the hearsay from those holy books is assumed correct. it is never really questioned.
The corruption from the religion is all over the film. It pictures a world of darkness with everyone unloved and either depressed with no hope or they find Jesus. Further he says that the only unconditional love in the world is Jesus when in reality the entire world and system spells nothing but unconditional love.
As I see it, if one desires the truth it's going to take so much more than accepting and believing.
All those petty things mankind holds so dear corrupts people from seeing the real truth. What is the real truth:
It has never ever been about Good verses Evil!! Who finds themselves blind now through the corrupted view religion teaches? If you release good verses evil, how many of those petty things mankind holds so dear can you discard? What Intelligent things can you replace that with that will make things better for all? How much easier will it be for you to Love Unconditionally and reach beyond what leads you to the choices that prove not to be the best?
It has always been in your hands. The answers, knowledge and truth have always been staring us all in the face. What are you choosing to see??
People love tricks and magic just look at the movies of today. Is that what really determines the truth? Was Jesus really the one or just the Superman story of the past?
I think each and everyone of us is just as important as Jesus. The only real difference is fame. Personally, I could do without fame. You probably feel the same as well. Still, we all change the world for the better whether we see that change or not.
That's what I see. It's very clear!!
"Figure it out" follows a tradition of secular instead of religious enquiry that goes back at least as far as Thales, was kept alive by the recovery of old texts at the dawn of the renaissance, and finally became general at the enlightenment. Science ─ in your example how birds, bees, bats, seeds, spiders, fly ─ gives no support for your claim that
"We are all Spiritual beings in our true natures. Our physical bodies are no more than our transportation in this physical world. The physical body is not doing the thinking and feeling. I have direct experience to this."
Science works by empiricism and induction, and thus has concluded from examinable evidence that your physical brain, integrated with your body, is the source of your "thinking and feeling". This is evident even at a naive level ─ interference with brain function through trauma, drugs, disease, genetics, inoxia, dehydration, age and so on is interference with thinking and feeling.
At more advanced levels, brain research, going back to the 18th century but only gaining real traction with the tools that became available at the end of the 20th, is developing maps of brain function, and descriptions of how brains in fact work. If you're seriously interested in what thinking and feeling are about, you might like to look into what we know about brains, as well as what we know about how birds fly.
So, you say, you have no test for truth? It's a feeling, not a statement connected with reality?
On all the evidence available to me, God exists only as a concept or thing imagined in an individual brain. No other hypothesis fits the data.
If you say God has objective existence, is an entity found in nature, the world external to the self, just show me a photo or video. That will at least have the potential to be persuasive.
