    Do you have a question about God?

    Please allow me to explain even further... You said you were introduced to God by reading various scriptures. You have also referenced those scriptures as "The Word of God". You use those scriptures to "answer questions" as though those "words of god" are your source. Yet, the source of that...

    Do you have a question about God?

    Wait, I thought you were going to convey the answers from your source. As far as offering your interpretation of scripture, please don't bother. Since you wish to rely on "verse mining" to answer questions, I'll do the same. Here you go, God told Moses early on... Leviticus 1 1 The LORD...

    Do you have a question about God?

    I had a moment, so I thought I'd ask a question or two. You claim to have a direct audience with the source of truth. So, If you don't mind, please discuss these with your source. 1. Who wrote the Gospel according to Matthew? 2. Who wrote the Gospel according to Mark? 3. Who wrote the Gospel...

    Do you have a question about God?

    Ah, a "no" would have been sufficient. Thanks for the reply.

    Do you have a question about God?

    Good afternoon. As I understand your post, you've spent time studying the texts, and you base your assertions of truth on the information therein? Have you spent any time performing an objective analysis of the texts; their sources, their redactions, their compilations, etc.? Is so, what...

    What was it that turned you?

    I don't mean to speak for doppelganger, but I didn't take "completely" stuck in his state, from what he said. I got that the recognition of prior development at his likely stage of development, while helpful, won't provide the "experiential tools" to contemplate the direction of his own...

    What was it that turned you?

    Very insightful and interesting, thank you! Everything made pretty good sense to me too, I hope that's a good sign :D. I'm going to ponder over these thoughts for a while and see if anything else shakes loose. I think you've helped to influence a fairly well-defined idea on how it relates to...

    What was it that turned you?

    Excellent post. I'm curious about your thoughts on a couple of things: Do you think there is a developmental stage, at which, most people could recognize their own development beyond the prior stages? In a sense, using the recognition of the prior stages as "proof" of their current stage, and...

    What was it that turned you?

    Thanks for the reply. I'm glad that my post didn't offend you. Your response seems to indicate that you agree that logic, reason and rational thought are an important basis for a foundation in any belief structure. I also gather that you feel there is a spiritual aspect that must be considered...

    What was it that turned you?

    Mine was, and is, an ongoing process. It always will be. I was lead to my current perspective based on logic, reason, and rational thought. I don't mean for that to sound offensive to believers (of any flavor). It's just that when looking through my lens at each religion, none that I have...

    Does Consciousness Exist?

    I personally feel as though these questions reflect a very similar mindset to mine with regard to "self-awareness". I'll offer my thoughts on the answers. Hopefully, it will result in further discussion of these specific questions. To begin, I'll define my take on the "characteristic" that...

    what can a couple do that is really cheap or free?

    It was already mentioned, but geocaching can be a kick if you have a handheld GPS. Wifey and I have found ourselves spending entire days out "caching". Look for the neat ones. You'd be surprised the landmarks and cool places that are probably right around the corner.
