    Why Have You Left Your Church?

    I left because I realised that the Abrahamic, theistic, paternalistic notion of God was just childish nonsense, for child-like minds. I am open to the possibility of a God, but I don't think any intelligent adult should be following Christianity, Judaism, Islam and their ilk. There came a time...

    Who are your favorite comedians?

    Glen Beck and Bill O'reilly. Their parody of serious broadcasting always results in hilarity.

    Can we still have Christmas? I might join.

    What Is Your Favourite Argument For God.

    There are so many definitions for the word "God" that you could never truly be a complete atheist, for at some point there's going to be a definition by someone, the existence of which cannot be refuted. For instance, a pantheist would say his God is nature - well, nature exists, so so does his...

    Is steak real? Does it matter?

    There may be matter there corresponding to the steak, but the steak as a steak exists only in one's head. It's really just a non-discontinuous random scattering of particles, which are themselves only mathematical models. The actual nature of the things themselves are unknowable.

    If God exists, then our reality is a simulation

    I've always thought of God as being one vast eternal mind, and that we ultimately exist only within his imagination, so in a way I suppose that would be a simulation. But if there is no God, then we are still left really in a mentally simulated world since nothing is really anything like our...

    Sharia Law in Australia: doomed to fail

    The proposals here in Britain are mostly to do with divorce settlements and interest-free banking. We already have this here for Jews. I suspect the proposals for Australia are more along these lines rather than for public floggings, etc. At least to begin with...

    Could the antichrist not even know that themselves are the antichrist?

    I think in a way we are all the Antichrist, whenever we find ourselves turning away from doing God's will, and following the baser desires of our egos instead.

    Dinotaurianism

    Please tell, I really am genuinely quite intrigued. It isn't a term I have ever come across.

    Spiritual terms

    And you'd make a great Unitarian Zoroastrian!

    Spiritual terms

    Thank you for clearing that up for me Majusi, and I appologise if my misunderstanding of Fravashi may have caused me to blaspheme against your faith in any way, I want to learn, not to offend. When I speak of a person in the afterlife having superconsciousness, I am thinking along the lines of...

    Spiritual terms

    Would you say then that the Fravashi is pure consciousness without the emotions attached? If so does this mean that Zoroastrians make a definite distinction between the "everyday" self that goes through the daily routines of life, and a higher self who sort of observes life from a slight...

    Can God change His mind?

    ........nope, still got me there!!

    Can God change His mind?

    Yes, I suppose it could, although if it's still us making the choices, that might not be the case, but then again, if he creates the timeline.....I see a problem here. Even without a God at all we still live in a time continuum in which the future might be....I think I'm gonna lie down now.

    Unitarian Christianity

    I like the look of the Church in Ireland. Wish I could attend it, as we have nothing like it around here.

    Zurvanism

    I think El Majusi means that it would not be consistent with the mainstream orthodoxy, which the Nag Hamadi people wouldnt be. Many of the more conservative Christians regard we Unitarians to be heretical, and many nontrinitarians would regard mainstream Christianity as heresy, but since the...

    Unification Church?

    Certainly seems like a cult to me. I don't see how they can ever hope to unify all denominations. Ours for a start would be diametrically opposed to a great deal of what they stand for. Heck, I'd rather become an atheist than join this.

    Unitarian Christianity

    That was great. I know quite a few people who could benefit from reading that, me included so thanks.

    American Unitarian Conference

    Here in England I know many Unitarian Christians who generally regard themselves to be in fellowship with the UUs, but feel that the UUs have strayed too far from our cultural Christian roots, so many of us call ourselves Unitarian Christians and Universalists, but not Unitarian Universalists...

    Hi :)

    Personally I just prefer to say the Lord's Prayer in the morning and in the evening before bed I practice various meditation techniques, but that's just me, I suppose. I do get a lot of inspiration from the Bible and other religious writing, but Unitarians do not believe in scriptural...
