I'm doing this Ask Me Anything thread because I kind of wanted to make an impression while I can, in case I lose interest later and kind of just lurk - not because I disagree with anything, but because I can be a pretty indifferent introvert sometimes and don't always have things to add that I feel the OPs of other threads cannot do without. Okay so if you've seen my introduction thread... I like Star Wars and I'm kind of a Theist who believes in God and accepts the idea of Universalism, yet is skeptical of many parts of the Bible (at least as they are interpreted). Some more points:
-My favorite Star Wars character is Kylo Ren. He just seems to express the emotions of a Dark Sided person a bit more naturally than I feel Hayden/Darth Vader ever did. That emotional trouble.
-I'm a gamer and I believe that video game graphics face diminishing returns. I perceive that in the past, new video game systems showed much more improvement in graphics quality going forward over the space of 4-7 years, than they do now.
-I get along best with progressive people. My family on both sides had a lot of conservatives / farm and ranch type people, and eating fried chicken at a Picnic while discussing ranches and horses, never did it for me.
-I do have some narcissistic traits that I hope to eventually overcome. I have in the past enjoyed the view that "The only thing we can prove exists is ourselves", so I begin a lot of sentences with "I" instead of being chancy and trying to guess and start a lot of sentences with "You" trying to bring things to what the other side is thinking. This drives some people crazy. I guess deep down I would do best around a person in which we both say "I" a lot and describe ourselves and so that the other side doesn't have to make guesses and say "You".
-I'm self-aware that when speaking on religion, I sometimes bring feelings and emotions into my stances in this regard: One of the deciding factors for me not being an overly conservative Christian, is I have witnessed the behavior of some leaders who proclaim themselves so, how they kind of wanted to up their status at the expense of others, etc.
-I consider it important, at the moment, to be in tune with myself and nature. I'm open to the idea that there is a spiritual side of good spirits and bad spirits not talked about in the Bible.
-I feel in my heart God is good and all-powerful, pretty much like what the Bible says. This holding onto this idea causes me to reject many doctrines related to the same God I worship.
