    Which churches/denominations believe that the Bible is a fallible, historical document?

    It seems like probably Unitarian, and beyond that it maybe just varies from church to church? I've also read that some Catholic (and related) churches are very liberal with the Bible.

    Which LHP Religion is the Antithesis of the RHP?

    I feel like I've already answered this question in quite a bit of detail in this thread. I don't know what kind of answer you're wanting that I haven't already given.

    Which LHP Religion is the Antithesis of the RHP?

    I'm not sufficiently convinced whether the ONA does or does not exist as a group, but as I said before, their philosophy does clearly exist in writing and in practice throughout history under many different names.

    Which LHP Religion is the Antithesis of the RHP?

    Several people here have brought up the hypocrisy of the church, but to me that frames the LHP/RHP as a political dichotomy rather than philosophical one, because the church itself is just a political organization with no cohesive philosophy -- oppressive and violent acts taken by the church are...

    2+2=5

    It's a philosophically interesting question, but since it only works with zero it doesn't seem to have any practical purpose.

    2+2=5

    Your first equation just demonstrates the rule of multiplication that when you multiple something by zero that it always equals zero.

    2+2=5

    No, it could not.

    2+2=5

    infinity is not a number, it is a mathematical concept, so 2*infinity is undefined.

    Perpetual Meditation

    Would you mind going into more detail about this? This is one of my favorite meditations, I do it all the time but I'd never thought of doing it while I program or do other work. That's a great tip. I should mention that since I'm a programmer and have to sit to program, I almost exclusively...

    Perpetual Meditation

    I've only been at it rigorously for about 15 years, but yeah, it seems like that novice stage lasts a long time. ;) What kind of meditations do you do?

    Perpetual Meditation

    Many common forms of meditation involve repetition of thought, and I think many would also agree that some forms of prayer are aimed at taking one out of the realm of thought. I've studied Buddhist and Christian meditation and prayer primarily. My primary focus in meditation the last few...

    Perpetual Meditation

    I've been meditating pretty seriously for many years, and I've never found this kind of thinking to be an impediment. And to be clear, I said it seems impossible, I didn't say that I believe for sure that it is actually impossible. It's just that I approach meditation itself more like a koan...

    Perpetual Meditation

    Personally I think prayer is just a kind of meditation, and there is a widespread tradition of perpetual prayer as well as perpetual meditation so I thought both were worth mentioning. I think prayer is beneficial as a meditative process whether you believe in a deity or not, which I guess is...

    Perpetual Meditation

    I've often read about the idea of meditating/praying all the time, during any activity. I've gotten to the point where I meditate so much every day that I think I need to start integrating it into other activities, but it's not easy! I've been trying out meditating while I'm cleaning the house...

    Which LHP Religion is the Antithesis of the RHP?

    Yes, I totally agree! And in contrast, I think RHP philosophy generally puts the collective interest over the individual. To me this is the primary dividing line.
